Eastleigh mpya

[Adenmussa]

The goverment should start improving infrastructure so us to increase economic growth in this part of the city.

[ksehmi]

Marcel Proust said: "The only paradise is paradise lost". The first founders were from Hampshire England from the town of Eastleigh where in England they had the Aerodrome that featured in Battle of Britain defense. Then came the Asians and the Asian High School (now the Eastleigh Secondary now High School) and its famous 21st Nairobi Scout Troop and superb hockey and cricket teams. Now it is the Somali groups, and after they go maybe it will be Sudanese, Mozambique WHO LOSE PARADISE AGAIN ETC

[haramacad]

they have to build roads then it will be nice place

[smooth1operator]

Stop jealous.

[akhinaten]

are the Somalis not better than the Indians who use to run business in Kenya... They are your neighbors, they come from the same continents and most of them are actually Kenyans either naturalized or born Kenyans.

Somalis also have businesses in ´Tanzania and Kampala and Addis Abebe and nowhere do they find this kind of hostility. Some of you talk about Pirate money....WHO WAS FRANCIS DRAKE? google it. the English, the Spanish they built their empire with pirate money,,,,,,join the fun.

[KaWairimu]

Let the Walalos do their business in peace, and shame on NCC, no infrastructure, look at those roads, and open sewers. By the way I have visited Eastleigh recently, despite the poor roads, its one of the safest hoods in Nairobi. My sis used to rent a place there, it was cheap, and you can walk around Eastleigh at 2 am, and nobody will bother you, try doing that at other places in Nai. . .

[njorogeaustralia]

Consider the revenue generated by this businesses yet no services gained.A crackdown on this somalis is biased as they are not the only ones in the country illegaly.Go round the resorts and casinos in Mombasa,Malindi and Nairobi.

[kushotto]

Eastleigh was originally mostly populated by jews during colonial days and after.This all you see is dirty money which is haraam in arabic.They could not invest this money close to the border coz al shabaab and fellow pirates will get at them.Safe to be in nairobi ,miles and miles away from clanism.The kporan says,via haraam huishia na haraam.Its a fare game.Let them built.Get them soon after!Somalis do not follow the teaching quit well.Ujambazi will meet jambazis here in kenya.

[njerikaranja]

why do Kenyans express xenophobia towards tax paying Somali businessmen/women and not the notorious Italians in Malindi?

[sequenced]

I fear for kenya, those buildings can come down like sand castles if an earthquake hit...just the thought depresses me.

[melionsden]

second point, please stop think in terms of sectarianism. Remember 2007/2008 post elections.

Think in terms of positive constructiveness. Eastleigh needs to be paved, cleaned and administrated efficiently. The same for the rest of the country.

[wanzueni]

the violence in kenya had nothing to do with tribes but with stolen  elections

[melionsden]

kikuyu-chinja-jaluo-kalenjin-c­hinja-kikuyu

that's why tribalism has to end.

[nyanjoma]

@melionsden they are not all kenyans,thats the idea and they are nyanyasaim the ones the originally found occupaying that land

[2190g1]

@wanzueni You are right. I am of such mixed heritages and upbringing, that I cannot speak either of my parent's tribal languages. I know many people like this who nonetheless were so pained by the election theft that they seemed to become 'tribal'

[melionsden]

sad to see even the NTV reporter lacks knowledge of eastleigh. Only 3 communities used to live in and built eastleigh: Goans, Seychellois and Somalis. That is the history of the place.

Nani mgeni?

for those commenting, please differentiate between the refugees and the other group that the government keeps, namely the warlords, mafias and criminals who can exploit kenya just as they exploit somalia.

[kijijikubwa]

What's with all the hatorade drinkers posting comments?

[bwanakeino]

Money laundering on tape.

[wawaithira]

That Daniel Kinuthia should shut up, I do not know where Kikuyus have built up, foreign investment only comes when people are assured of a profit. But Somalis must be checked to ensure they pay tax to the government, and so KRA should not sleep on the job, ask yourself how Dubai became successful not these Xenophobic attacks to guys who ensure our dollar supply is high. On the flip side Capital flight should be avoided, that is why Kenya bus service is no more the British stole from us.

[pierrre23]

This video is real.......I saw Esich in 1980 and now 2010.......things have really changed.

For biznesses to grow at such crazy exponential rates esp. last 10 years is not REAL....... the money is coming from elsewhere........

Trailers za woria can't be that profitable unless viagra comes from Esich then to Pfizer for distribution...in this case i can believe the growth of Esich to 'clean' money.

Otherwise people like Edenskid you don't know what ur saying!!

[wawaithira]

@pierrre23 I do not care let those people you are calling woria do their business. I remember when Moi called for tribal clashes, maize distribution and sell of tomatoes went down because most of the merchants then were Kikuyus. Well it was not good for the farmers although I think now every tribe buys and sells the produce although this is not the import of my statement but to say, let the somalis do the business

[MrMujama]

Why cant Kenya borrow some ideas from Rwanda.Kagame said no to Somalis for good reasons. We must though acknowledge that in Kenya we also have the Kenya Somalis and they shouldn't be judged like the illegal migrants.

[edenskid]

Xenophobia

[somalipal]

@MrMujama Kagame said no to somalis? lol are you serious? Somalis have big businesses in Rwanda but Rwanda is not a great business investment because somalis are not producers, they are businessmen ie middlemen who bring products from markets or their points of production and Rwanda, landlocked and in the middle of Africa is the end of the line. Kenya is the natural investment centre, and Somalia a lot better because of its proximity to Dubai, China, India etc. Somalia is at war now.

Huyo Mama amesema ukweli wa mambo na ametosha! Tafsiri ni:

People matter. Peoples well being is the mirror for society as a whole. A society which is so arranged that those who have less are less healthy, live shorter and dangerous lives can hardly be called a healthy society. Time for coordinated fair growth with equity for all!

[Dowlo77]

Losers.

[edenskid]

Xenophobia

[karuitha]

pirate money

[edenskid]

Xenophobia

[anguka4]

Eastleigh will be like a city on it's own, mark this post. It is growing rapidly because these Somali's have that piracy cash no loans!! I was recently told that there was a somali who was caught with ksh 900m. He claimed he used to be a pirate and not anymore. wtf.... let them keep building what i am pretty sure about is the somali's will be thrown out once they have done all the developments if they bring terrorism.....helloo remember IdI Amin ?? Keep cool kenyans

[tritac]

@Anguka: Just like your name your theory wont see the light, whats ur reference on this? Kindly stop being pedestrian on such an intellectual platform.

[WacheniUshenzi]

@anguka4

lol.Wewe ulianguka mitihani...yaani you failed your exams. Jaribu tena.

[machax002]

kenyans beware. soon nairobi will change to mogadishu!

[edenskid]

Xenophobia

[pierrre23]
