ahahaha they didnt even talk about the somalis in eastleigh and surrounding areas who have built a parallal economy that out grosses the nairobi CBD !!
only thing i hate about kenyans are they love the white man,, and are stupid and dumb when opportunities arise.. these fuckers are the ones who asked for israeli help against a weak muslim country ( somalia).. how stupid can u get?
@AbuuJannah your facts are wrong eastleigh is booming on pirate money nothing else and what did Israel do nothing our dumb prime minister went there so he can get international recognition and arent you somali i bet our airforce is bombing those alshabab dogs day and night. Your a joke!!
I'm going to Nairobi in November and I'll be damned if I don't party like a rap artist with a hit record. I'm talking Java House, Dolce, Yaya Shopping Centre, Skylux. All that shit. Napenda Nairobi.
nairobi could look to example by the way the ancient egyptains and ancient nubains and ancient keny swhali civilsations were africans and are from the african continent i see the great pryamids built a new great pryamid not in north africa ancient egypt 3000 year legacy or ancient nubia sudan or swhali civilisaation east africa built annew great pryamidin east africa learn from those north african ancient egypttttttt africa 3000 year legacy from white algerian north african

It's no wonder Kenya airways domestic routes are exploding. People take a plane ride from Kisumu to Nairobi or Nairobi to the coast these days. Used to be train or bus rides.
The rise of the Kenyan Talented Tenth... Holding on to their Indigenous foundation will determine whether they sink or swim as a competitor in the global economy.....the S. Koreans are a great model for Kenyan economic success!!!!!

@whatyouchating my point is poverty will still be around in every country but there will be less of it in developing countries and more of it in 1st world countries
@whatyouchating so and what. brooklyn in ny has some of the most impoverised areas within northern and central america. as kenyas economy grows the slums and poverty will lower considerably and as americas economy is in freefall there poverty levels will raise and may have a simlar level of poverty or maybe even a bigger percentage of poverty than kenya within the next 20-30 years
@jadplaya u are one of the few intelligent guys on youtube seriously u have spoken more wisdom than most people i have met here.u are damn right and i am from ghana and proud of our continent.
hmmm i wonder what is meant when they write "the children of israel will go back to israel" in the torah, quran and bible. especially since israel used to be a lot lot bigger than the present day so-called israel... also since this was all before the semitic invasion of africa so i wonder what type of ppl lived there. (and i hope ppl r starting to connect the dots here) dont say i m crazy if u ve never read the bible, torah or quran... cuz then u wud just be embarrassing urself.
@blakdog90 THANK YOU I was having this conversation not to long ago. Black Americans got offend when I told them we may "need" Africans to learn about economic gain. But when you live in a culture of "have a baby by me and be a millionaire" I makes it hard. My patience is almost gone as well.
@blakdog90 I totally have to agree with you there. As a black american female in college, it pains my heart to see my people doing destructive things. On a side note, my heart has been heavy for the past five years; I've been actively searching for a black haven with little luck. Well, that is until recently.
Although I am not Kenyan, I am thanking God for the day when Kenya is known globally for it's intellectual productivity and world class cities.
@nitsubasa I beleive it has a lot to do with the history of slavery in this country and the ongoing sublime racism.
"We" never got over the legacy of slavery. Mistrust of one another and the dreaded "crab mentality" has our people insecure, anger, afraid and anxious, making us turn on each other.
Africans have not experienced slavery and it's affect. So there more hopeful of the future and "open hearted"
@nitsubasa - You should visit the country. We are really friendly and you will be surprised to find that many of us got our inspiration from African American pioneers/titans like Reginald Lewis, Oprah, Robert Johnson, Magic Johnson, Tyler Perry, Ken Chenault, Russell Simmons. The problem usually is that these Titans of business are eclipsed by pop stars and athletes. Once again, Karibu Kenya (welcome to Kenya).
@blakdog90 black ppl here got they ways but dont think cause you met a few africas you know em i bet if you live in africa you feel more like a outsider there than in america
@khalil6661 of course no one or anywhere is perfect, but it's easier for me to deal with the "imperfections" of Africans rather than African Americans
@IWannaBe120 - who are you to judge - you are nothing but white trash - i have lived in africa - my father was a diplomat - most of the upper classs live a life of wealth - fuck the others
Kenya is one of the most civilised developed and advanced countries in Africa, it also has a large Indian population and the Indians are the elite of the country.
@fuckstick1984 indians are a minority in the country they are hardly the reason for the kenya's success. Besides kenya is one of MANY african countries rising quickly.
@fuckstick1984 Fuk Indian they are looked down apon by everyone in the country even the arabs dont like them the only thing u pakis bring to kenya is flavours of indea and u smell like shit.
@fuckstick1984 indians account for less then 1% of the total population in kenya. the "elites" of the country are more often european descendants. the indians just own a lot of small businesses etc.
Fecking condescending tone in this report. Crap. This kind of reporting irritates me to the core. What the heck did they think Kenya is? A jungle where we sit and chill with Lions and hyenas?
@judywanderi - - Lol - You will be surprised at just what people think of Africa as, let alone Kenya. Most people living the middle class life in Kenya have a much higher quality of life than most middle class westerners I know. I mean, drivers, house-help/live-in servants? Hawana habari hawa.....Speaking of which, is that my pal D at the bar with like 200 ladies? Waaaah!!!!

@MyFoodIsBad You're only seeing how the top 0.1% live. This does not represent the average Kenyan, who only makes an average $850 a year.
I could show you the top people in the US, who live in $30 million houses, go on 1 million dollar vacations, go on 3 million dollar shopping sprees, and pour 100 bottles of $500 wine into a bathtub and bathe in it just because it's good for their skin.
Point is it doesn't represent the average Kenyan citizen. Not hating on Kenya, just pointing it out.
@hollymatterson -How about we talk of all the "poor people" in the rural areas who actually own the thatched houses and little plots they live on. How about toning down your comparison of a country that's only 48 years old with 40MM people to one that's 235 year old with 300m people? Oh, and the top 0.1% (Buffet, Gates, Walton, Koch) don't actually exhibit the lack of class you portray - I believe that is left to the musicians and ballers.... haki wewe.....
@surambaya First and foremost, I was not hating on Kenya. And two out of the four people do live like how I described, though. Gates lives in a US$120 million dollar house and he has a US$100 million yacht which he sails around the world in. David Koch once lost US$4 million at a blackjack table in Las Vegas.
For every 2 frugal billionaires you name, I can name 100 extravagant spenders.
Also it's good Kenyans own land. Population doesn't matter, work ethic does. Hopefully Kenya does succeed.
@hollymatterson - Granted. My position on the matter is that there's more to Kenya than meets the eye and the country is still a young nation both literally and metaphorically - still in the process of defining itself amidst a region characterized by civil strife, political ineptitude and gross economic mismanagement. As for big spending, that's all relative, right? If Gates is worth $50B and splurges on a $120M house, it's well within his range. Oh, and I think the house is really beautiful...
@surambaya Yeah. What I was saying was that gates isn't frugal. Buffet is frugal to the point of stupidity.
Yes there is a lot to kenya . These people in this video were making it seem like there's no problems in Kenya, and basically walling off the average poor to the viewer. Kenya still has starvation related deaths, if people see this video people will stop microloans.
There are average Kenyans who are successful by Kenyan standards. Show a greenhouse or farm get this WaBenzi off there.
@hollymatterson - True - about 50% live below $2 a day and though that goes some way, it's nowhere near enough to cater for basic needs including quality healthcare and good education. One solution to Kenya's problem is certainly the development of transparent, vibrant and deep commercial and financial markets. Buffet, who I admire greatly and Gates have both been beneficiaries of markets willing to pay for what they had to offer.
@SpecTrey85 Haha it doesn't represent Kenya's middle class the slightest. Shit, These people would be considered upper-middle class in the USA. The people in this video are the uber-rich of Kenya. Their incomes compared to 99.9% of Kenyan citizens would be the equivalent of someone in the US making $5 million a year. These people must make 100k while the average income is $850 a year.
You are a retard if you really think "this represents the middle class of Kenya, nothing more nothing less.
@SpecTrey85 I'm going to message you as I will go over my character limit explaining how you're point is flawed. Basic economics should be taught in all schools.
These are the things you never hear on TV...All they talk about when refering to Nairobi is "KIBERA Slums" I hope this video creates a different image in anyone who thinks otherwise.
Definitely making a trip to Kenya this year. The Nairobi Stock Exchange is doing amazing things. I'm looking into investing in stocks and currencies over there as well. I'm even studying Swahili.
@blakdog90 The richest,beautiful,blessed,adorable continent is Africa yet africans are the poorest.Solution?Highly educated african youth with zero tolerance on corruption,nepotism,bribery and the motherland will take it's rightful place.
@blakdog90 You couldnt say better ...Africa is the future Im European i went to Kenya to live , then i left and went back to europe thinking that life will be better...... finaly im going back to Kenya ... .!!!!
@MAJISTYGOD well you don't have to call white folks honkeys to love motherland...i know many white folks in california who vacation in africa especially kenya every year and love it very much...stop the hate...lets build..doesnt matter the color of your skin...after all there many white kenyans making kenya proud like the Dunford brothers
I married an African girl from Congo. Kinshasa is FUCKED UP, but there is such an OPEN MARKET. You can do and sell anything. Since she's a doctor, I plan to eventually move over to Africa with her. She would have enough money saved up to open her own hospital and never work again. North America IS FINISHED. Too much taxes and government. Not even counting all the DHS bull shit of fear mongering and fascism here.
I love that they show a different side of Africa. As a kenyan (grew up in europe) I hate that the media only shows slums and poor aids-infected people
I lived in Kenya in the 80s for 8 years.....nothing but a great experience. Great people, great wildlife, great scenery, great coast, great geography with so much variety. Probably the best people I ever met in my life were Kenyans....well, besides my native Newfoundland..lol. It is quite sad how some people in the west only view Kenya/Africa has "mud huts", "war", "dirtiness" etc...they have no idea! Miss Kenya so much...just have to come back and visit or maybe permentaly leave Canada..lol
There is nothing wrong for with a business trying to make a profit in a free market economy. What a lot of bad leaders never understand is that the most precious natural resource a country has is it's people. All is needed is some investment in their educational future. Just like a plant. Because of greed and lack of patience a lot of leaders rather sell the resources that require no investment to make a quick buck. Like oil, goal, diamond, etc. You can't blame another country for buying them.
To those people whining about white business. You have to understand that China had the same problem that Africa had today. What they did is invited the Japanese who had all the technical skills to take their natural resources in return for infrastructure development. Now look at china. Africa is now going through the same phase. All Africa needs now is stability. It's not about white & black when it comes to countries. All countries are selfish. Leave it, learn it, and teach it to your children
The worst network when it comes to covering Africa is CNN, always negative in their reporting..America too has poor people same as Europe we have been to this places.
I visited Addis Ababa last Christmas and visiting Nairobi this October. The two cities are poles apart. Addis was a very nice place and very safe and I am looking forward to Kenya. I am a construction worker from Ireland and I think it is very important to challenge our attitudes as the world is constantly changing. Keep up the good work Africa!
Guys calling this lady rich is not correct, am in the middle class and am planning to build a 5 Bed-roomed house in the next 3-5 years by then I will probably have a driver for my Kids and a house maid Will that make me rich? Nope... It the need to have one ... Life is changing in Kenya for most of us and I appreciate this.
I am travelling here in January 2011. I just wanna stay safe as I experience and share in the culture, lifestyle and the history of the country and people.
This story is correct. I am Somali living in Nairobi at moment, Nairobi middle class is growing very fast. As to people who are arguing how middle class can afford driver and housemaid?. Well here in Kenya the labour is very cheap for example a good housemaid costs only $ 100(7600 k shillings) per month at the most same as the driver. When i was living in North America, i couldn't dream of having driver and housemaid.And am not rich!
@aitan,I am African.I gave that comment b'cos I saw a white reporter giving positve report on Africa which we all know is rare.Is the reporter a British Kenyan?Actually I don't waste words praising all that glitters.I tell it as it is.I saw a Kenyan report on the Rich family.While Dr.Rich seems to earn his wages fairly as a dentist,the reporter shows a segregated well-to-do white community in white schools and even white playinggroungs.I fairly screamed apartheid& segregationist.Fair is fair!
Great,Thumb up Worldfocusonline!U are better than CNN.First time I have seen a white positive response in and about Africa.Europeans still don't get.I hope they also pick up fast and gain some trust before Africans begin to speak Chinese.
@Beesahili well, i have seen a lot of african haters on youtube and they amuse me..lol! we africans give as good as we get and dont spare the horses so , if you hate on us we return the favour if you show us support and love we love you too. fair exchange is no robbery .. check out middle class nigerians coming home .. commentary on cnn .. .be/ic7dggkZBSE
beautiful Nairobi, but STUPID reporter - middle class means that average person should have a decent living condition - here we see some chief executive in a big bank who has a driver and servants at home and the reporter pretend it is middle class?- what about the driver and her servants then? - are they not accounted as people? - if I saw their apartments to be of livable standatds (at least by my not high demands (as I am from Russia) - then I would agree this report is about middle class
@Ura293 does is mean that if you are a millionare, you own a company and hire poor people to work in you company, does it make you poor bc poor people work in your company? NO. These family have enough money to hire workers, The two employees have there own places and are not members of these family. I don't know how you determine class levels in Russia.
@chaimoto you misunderstood my comment - if people are working for you, it means that you are rich. Every country has rich people, but the reporter here pretends that this rich woman is middle class, but MIIDLLE class is exactly not poor and not rich, but AVERAGE person....like in Sweden EVERYBODY are middle class, because there are actually no rich and no poor - everybody are approximatelly the same income and they can't afford servants, so this Kenian woman is rich, she is not middle class.
@Ura293 Everyone of middle class can afford a maid here. So you're wrong. It's not "rich". rich people here have mansions that they built themselves, and more than 3 members of staff. This lady is just a little above middle class, but I know plenty of people making 1500USD per month and they have maids. Just cos it works a certain way in your country, doesn't mean the rest of the world follows that guideline.
barlog20 Oprah invested in South Africa, I believe she founded an all girls private school. Still though there is still more that could be done. I also don't get the Ni-rob-ya name I lived there 3 1/2 years and nothing bad ever happened. My house in Kenya was way bigger than the one I live in now..
There is nothing wrong with a white person investing in africa as long as they would "share the wealth and resources" This is how countries develop international relations. As an African American I would loved to invest in Africa ( if i could afford it) but closing ourselves off from the rest of the world does not stimulate growth.
You are so very right barlog; its because they trying to live and be like the whites in America. Its a shame and disgrace to see whites going back into AFRICA claiming to do business when they have EXPLOITED AFRICA for hundreds if not thousands of years. ALOT of blacks with money in the us dont even help other blacks; so u think they going to invest in africa. But its the africans themselves who let the whites in cause they THINK WHITES make a place better; pure slave training and mentality.
It is true that not many blacks in america help. There are some, but not enough. I hope to one day do business with african countries. I believe that a financial and spiritual bridge between america's black population and africans would be in all of our best interest.
@savannahblk Pure slave training and mentality??? The world is dynamic not static. We do have problems, yes..and we do squabble with some western countries over certain issues but slave mentality? You must be AA. If not, you've been in the U.S for too long.
@savannahblk Besides, we Africans also invest abroad. You can't close yourself off from the rest of the world. That's not even feasible in today's world. We have no hard feelings for the Britons, we won back our land through blood shed BUT were able to bounce right back and move on (again, we have lot's of work to do but what country doesn't). If you don't let go, you don't move on...
This is why I find it funny that alot of people in the west seem to think that all there is in African countries are starving children living in huts made of cow dung or naked people running around in the jungle. Kenya is such a beautiful country, and the people featured in this video aren't even close to the wealthy people you'll find there. Let's get rid of the poverty and rise to our full potential, Africa is a great continet with LOTS of it!!
james, the black guy , speaks perfect english so wha's up with the subtitles when he speaks!!!!!! fuck this shit and assholes pretending they dodnt get our accent!!
N the guys dissin somalis, thats the bull shyte that is killin us back home, indeed there are somali bandits, but there are also kikuyu, maasai, maaan every community in kenya has those few spoiled potatoes, but that doesn't give u the right to shit talk about somalis jus coz u think u so fukin kenyan, i'm kikuyu half maasai, n i don't give a rats ass if u from north eastern, nyanza, nairobi. kikuyu, luo, doesn't matter, we all from east africa so shut da fuk up n be proud of ur hood AAAAIGHT!!!
well what can i say Africa and Asia are moving on. 90% of top fastest growing countries are African or Asian. Five out of top ten are African. I love it.
@barlog20 Alot of the black millionaires have a superior inferiority complex. They only know ,invest, and live in America. Some dont like their African roots. They just see themselves as Americans. Even though, many of their ancestors were in servitude less than 2 centuries ago.If they are open-minded to Africa, they may visit Africa. But only that.
naw bro. Most of us black Americans want to explore our roots, but when we go to Africa, we our treated like traitors and outsiders. but yea you are right that some black Americans dont like their African roots
@barlog20 What??? Most whites investing in Africa are Africans or Europeans with longtime roots in Africa. There is African-American investment in Africa, primarily in Liberia, South Africa, and Ghana, and to a lesser extent Nigeria. Africa is very unstable and considerable investment is not wise as it requires a personal committment that most Americans cannot committ to. Most African-Americans have no ties to Africa anylonger, as most have been American for close to 400 years.
my first time in africa was in nairobi. i was there for the election fallout in dec of 2007. thanks to the internet i had mad many friends before i got there and i got to see the REAL kenya. not tourist shit. i fell in love with africa(kenya) and did not want to return to the usa after two months. i cant wait to return. if i did not have children here(usa) i wouldn't of came back.
Obviously that mzungu reporter is scared of the dark. I party all nite in 'downtown' Nairobi and its all good. No muggers that I've seen. Of course keep ur cash in your hotel room!
@Trumblebee oh woops, forgot to mention, they would probably think you're part of the mungiki if you are male as i don't think the females sport dreadlocks
Africa will return to it's original superpower status within the next 25 yrs, Europe and the U.S.A except for Russia will continue there down ward spiral to economic doom.
thanx for posting a positive video on kenya. how refreshing!! indeed there are people living better lifestyles in kenya then those in the diaspora. i am fed up of them posting patronising messages. Maybe they should go back and join in the building kenya.this way we can keep out those human rights abusive indians. I also hope western media can see this and not only focus on the negative, hinger, violence etc.
Clearly the individual who just commented before me has problems. From his/her profile name its quite evident they have some unresolved issues. Don't take them out on Kenya, an amazing, beautiful and dynamic country. Every country has homes in which domestic violence is rampant. However blanket statements such as "the women are still subservient..." or "them Kenyans have one objective..." are ridiculously off the mark. Your biased, ignorant, and uneducated remarks are revolting to say the least.
Some BS here. The truth is the women are still subserviant still & get there asses beat for simple things like not washing their husbands shoes good enough.
You Kenyans know what I'm talking about. I lived there for a few months.
& hold on to your passport, because them Kenyans have one objective, & that is to get themselves, their family, & there friends to the United States.
Every time I went to the Embassy, the American Services were full of people that had their passports stolen
Excuse you! who asked you to be in Kenya? and no sorry, we might be interested in going to the US, but only because it looks good on TV, in real life- Kenya is way better- money or no Money- so, just keep ur comment to urself, and go back to ur country, where they are so stuck-up on yourselves, think they are heaven!! I can't wait to leave this place behind-struggles upon struggles and very fake p'ple!!!!!!!!!& quite ignorant,too!!!!talking about do you speak English? YES we do and spell better!
Great video! Finally something positive...but i cant stand the way its SUBTLY condescending.. "typically American life" NO its a typically middle class Kenyan life!! That may in some ways resemble your typical American one...n how "Kenyas privileged are also discovering the other benefits of having money to spend" no no no...THEY (Westerners) are discovering we have money and know how to spend it! bars n clubs just didn't pop up in Nairobi.
@tondamac should't they be playing the Wii before you?
talk about hitting the nail on the head!! it always amazed @ how ignorant know-i-all westerners assume Africa just woke up today,I'm surprised he didn't say they are also finding out about coca cola.I'm glad u caught the subtle hints
I am a Somali American who lived in Kenya in the early 90's. I must say that Kenya is the most tolerant country in the world. I can't never give back enough to Kenya for their hospitality. I approciate the country and it's people for what they did for my people (The Somalis). Kenyans welcomed us and invited us to their homes with open hands when some of our own fellow Somalis murders us and raped our sisters and daughters.
Long live Kenya, and thank you so much. We truelly owe you alot.
wacha micheso pwana ati 12yrs??that's a long time.(BTW i spammed ur comment by accident)Pwana hebu come back soon as I'm sure u've missed it bad esp Kitale
I say wazee wa home, don't argue about somalis issues and comments just enjoy the video. I am Kenyan, ethnicity somali but a lot of heat and arguments with somalis from somalia about kenya as whole and at the same time wakenya wanafikiria mimi si mkenya because of my looks and that purely ignorance. Northeastern is part of kenya but i am born and raised in kitale. So please just enjoy the video. Na miss kenya sana wazee.
dude, sina shida yoyote na somalis in general regardless of where they r from lakina niko na shida kubwa sana na watu ambaye huongea vibaya kuhusu Kenya irrespective of where they r from,but we should just enjoy the vid and avoid negative comments and those who hate Kenya/ns should not bother watching this & move on.Kitale eh? all the way from Western Ke I,ve only been there once
This is a wake up call for America. Even Kenya is catching up.

(and i hope ppl r starting to connect the dots here) dont say i m crazy if u ve never read the bible, torah or quran... cuz then u wud just be embarrassing urself.

@blakdog90 I totally have to agree with you there. As a black american female in college, it pains my heart to see my people doing destructive things. On a side note, my heart has been heavy for the past five years; I've been actively searching for a black haven with little luck. Well, that is until recently.
Although I am not Kenyan, I am thanking God for the day when Kenya is known globally for it's intellectual productivity and world class cities.

@nitsubasa I beleive it has a lot to do with the history of slavery in this country and the ongoing sublime racism.
"We" never got over the legacy of slavery. Mistrust of one another and the dreaded "crab mentality" has our people insecure, anger, afraid and anxious, making us turn on each other.
Africans have not experienced slavery and it's affect. So there more hopeful of the future and "open hearted"

@nitsubasa - You should visit the country. We are really friendly and you will be surprised to find that many of us got our inspiration from African American pioneers/titans like Reginald Lewis, Oprah, Robert Johnson, Magic Johnson, Tyler Perry, Ken Chenault, Russell Simmons. The problem usually is that these Titans of business are eclipsed by pop stars and athletes. Once again, Karibu Kenya (welcome to Kenya).

@MyFoodIsBad You're only seeing how the top 0.1% live. This does not represent the average Kenyan, who only makes an average $850 a year.
I could show you the top people in the US, who live in $30 million houses, go on 1 million dollar vacations, go on 3 million dollar shopping sprees, and pour 100 bottles of $500 wine into a bathtub and bathe in it just because it's good for their skin.
Point is it doesn't represent the average Kenyan citizen. Not hating on Kenya, just pointing it out.

How about toning down your comparison of a country that's only 48 years old with 40MM people to one that's 235 year old with 300m people? Oh, and the top 0.1% (Buffet, Gates, Walton, Koch) don't actually exhibit the lack of class you portray - I believe that is left to the musicians and ballers.... haki wewe.....

@surambaya First and foremost, I was not hating on Kenya. And two out of the four people do live like how I described, though. Gates lives in a US$120 million dollar house and he has a US$100 million yacht which he sails around the world in. David Koch once lost US$4 million at a blackjack table in Las Vegas.
For every 2 frugal billionaires you name, I can name 100 extravagant spenders.
Also it's good Kenyans own land. Population doesn't matter, work ethic does. Hopefully Kenya does succeed.
hollymatterson 10 months ago
@hollymatterson - Granted. My position on the matter is that there's more to Kenya than meets the eye and the country is still a young nation both literally and metaphorically - still in the process of defining itself amidst a region characterized by civil strife, political ineptitude and gross economic mismanagement. As for big spending, that's all relative, right? If Gates is worth $50B and splurges on a $120M house, it's well within his range. Oh, and I think the house is really beautiful...
surambaya 10 months ago
@surambaya Yeah. What I was saying was that gates isn't frugal. Buffet is frugal to the point of stupidity.
Yes there is a lot to kenya . These people in this video were making it seem like there's no problems in Kenya, and basically walling off the average poor to the viewer. Kenya still has starvation related deaths, if people see this video people will stop microloans.
There are average Kenyans who are successful by Kenyan standards. Show a greenhouse or farm get this WaBenzi off there.
hollymatterson 10 months ago
@hollymatterson - True - about 50% live below $2 a day and though that goes some way, it's nowhere near enough to cater for basic needs including quality healthcare and good education. One solution to Kenya's problem is certainly the development of transparent, vibrant and deep commercial and financial markets. Buffet, who I admire greatly and Gates have both been beneficiaries of markets willing to pay for what they had to offer.

There is nothing wrong for with a business trying to make a profit in a free market economy. What a lot of bad leaders never understand is that the most precious natural resource a country has is it's people. All is needed is some investment in their educational future. Just like a plant. Because of greed and lack of patience a lot of leaders rather sell the resources that require no investment to make a quick buck. Like oil, goal, diamond, etc. You can't blame another country for buying them.

To those people whining about white business. You have to understand that China had the same problem that Africa had today.

Great video! Finally something positive...but i cant stand the way its SUBTLY condescending.. "typically American life" NO its a typically middle class Kenyan life!! That may in some ways resemble your typical American one...n how "Kenyas privileged are also discovering the other benefits of having money to spend" no no no...THEY (Westerners) are discovering we have money and know how to spend it! bars n clubs just didn't pop up in Nairobi.

I am a Somali American who lived in Kenya in the early 90's. I must say that Kenya is the most tolerant country in the world. I can't never give back enough to Kenya for their hospitality. I approciate the country and it's people for what they did for my people (The Somalis). Kenyans welcomed us and invited us to their homes with open hands when some of our own fellow Somalis murders us and raped our sisters and daughters.
Long live Kenya, and thank you so much. We truelly owe you alot.

I say wazee wa home, don't argue about somalis issues and comments just enjoy the video. I am Kenyan, ethnicity somali but a lot of heat and arguments with somalis from somalia about kenya as whole and at the same time wakenya wanafikiria mimi si mkenya because of my looks and that purely ignorance. Northeastern is part of kenya but i am born and raised in kitale. So please just enjoy the video. Na miss kenya sana wazee.

dude, sina shida yoyote na somalis in general regardless of where they r from lakina niko na shida kubwa sana na watu ambaye huongea vibaya kuhusu Kenya irrespective of where they r from,but we should just enjoy the vid and avoid negative comments and those who hate Kenya/ns should not bother watching this & move on.Kitale eh? all the way from Western Ke I,ve only been there once
