[@skullet2461]

SIs had a whole degree and jobs on the side but the show made it out like she was just another girl trying to get a green card! I always knew there was more to what we were being shown on 90 Day Fiance! She is so intelligent and the relationship between her and her husband Benjamin may have had its rocky roads but overall is genuine and beautiful. Best of luck sis, and welcome to America xx

[@wora1111]

I am a German and never watched 90 Days Fiancee, but I certainly recognize an intelligent girl when I hear her speaking. First I was not able to match the pictures in the vlog and the way the story was told. That changed the moment she mentioned being a software developer. Brought back flashes of my youth (software developer as well) when I spent time in Greece with similar external bathrooms, overfilled buses on the island and fresh food everyday. These days I am a lot older and appreciate more modern environments. But I still treasure the time I had then.

I’m a “90 Day Fiancé” fan. Akinyi was one of my absolute favs. I’m not surprised at how intelligently she put this video together. She is such a beautiful woman inside and out. My experience of moving from Africa to America was completely different because I grew up in the large houses, had chauffeurs, housekeepers, etc. In America, I had to wash my own clothes, clean and take public transport in New York City. I appreciate how Akinyi clearly and correctly explains our experiences in both Africa and America are different. The thing I loved most about watching her on 90 Day Fiancé was that no matter how we as viewers may have judged her life in Kenya, we could not deny how RICH her life was in love, Christian values and happiness.

[@celloniaajode2793]

Nangula, I appreciate your comments highlighting the difference in your scenarios in growing up in Kenya. It must be tough when you left the luxury in Kenya to America as opposed to Akinyi who left a tough life to get into some sort of luxury.

Akinyi you have transitioned relatively well from 90 Days to now living in America, and you tell your story eloquently with lots of insight - so proud of you. Food is majorly a problem for most of us from Africa but is overcome with some caution. Africa is a diverse continent with people living lifestyles higher than Americans to basic lifestyles in mud thatched huts and everything in between; but so is America(just like the weather) where you will find opulent lifestyles to homelessness to people living in cars, under bridges, gettoes, shacks, farms, apartments, condominiums, townhouses and everything in between; so ignore the shortsighted people adamantly telling you their lifestyles is not like yours - this is your story. Enjoy your new life with hubby/stepson and carry us along. I cannot wait to see how you grow here and also change lifestyle for your family back home.

[@janehughes6927]

You are advising her to change people's lifestyles back at home. Its a well thought idea but once you support your siblings and they get money they forget where they came from and become jealous of the person who uplifted their lives. Help not expecting any respect from them. I am one of those when I got married to my white man 25 years ago, I removed poverty from home. However, now my siblings don't know whom I am. Apart from one they are so jealous they could kill if they could get a chance. However, spoil your parents if they are still living. Goodluck in your western world. There are many opportunities here and you can be what you want to be just go to university and get those qualifications and life will never be the same again.

I'm so happy I came across this video....I was wondering what became of you and Ben since 90 day. You look happily married and adjusting well to being in America. God's blessings to you both.

[@Cheryl01ish]

I remember you both. What a joy to come upon this video and see how well you're both doing!!!

[@khadija91211]

Your weight gain is connected to what you eat if you workout everyday. As you said, Kenya had fresh foods, America has plenty process foods

[@kimberlysanderlin9173]

Also connected to her change in daily work. In Kenya she was exercising and had a more rigorous daily routine (chicken care and clothes washing). As Americans, with convenience comes more sedentary lifestyles. Akinyi is an AMAZING woman! Definitely will be following her and her blessed family

[@Keabetswe.Sithole]

Akinyi is such a beautiful woman, I'm rooting for you and your family. May God continue to bless you ❤️

[@elizabethhilliard836]

Her vocabulary tells that she is well educated. She is down to earth, honesty and just a nice person. Intelligent and a good story teller.

[@rufdymond]

That’s a strange comment, her vocabulary sounds normal to me….

[@jaynewanjira3541]

Majority of Kenyans are very well educated even the poor ones. Opportunities are just hard to get sometimes. Her vocabulary? What is that supposed to mean? Do people talk about your vocabulary? smh. Wait, because she is Kenyan she is not expected to have a good vocabulary? Well in Kenya most speak british Kenyan English which is taught in schools from Kindergaten all the way to campus and beyond including in the working sectors. Kenyans have accents depending on their mother tongues but a lot of those that were born in Nairobi capital city especially speak like Akinyi, fluent good English like she did on this video, and I am so proud of her. It's normal. But you saying her vocabulary tells she is well educated was weird. You can have an accent and still be well educated. That should not define ones education. I bet many Kenyans who have accent are more educated than yourself. lol. Wow! What a weird comment. Anyway, not surprising coming from an American. smdh.

[@Zazezoo]

You are a very emotionally mature and sensible woman, and doing an amazing job as a step mum!! Keep it up! You both seem good-hearted and were united for a reason. May God guide and bless you and your family.

I like that you do not shy away from your humble background. The narrative is superb. And the comparison should be used in all of Africa for anyone intending to relocate to the USA. Culture shock is real especially the food part.

[@mamadeebuildsahouse]

My family loves 90 day fiance and I always laugh at them. But I was born and raised in South Africa, except I moved to America with my husband and daughter and we've been here ever since. Your life reminds me so much of my life. Very inspiring. Funny thing is, I'm building a house in South Africa and sharing my journey. I long for home still, after 23 years in the USA. I'm also a software engineer.

[@chamillenock764]

So I was actually admiring her American body like "I wish I could work towards something like that." So I was shocked when she said that was a struggle for her and something she felt a little bad about. You look stunning. Definitely not walking as much and our American food do not help, but also as we get older, our metabolism can start to slow down some. But you look great and it's wonderful to hear that you are happy in a new country. Continued blessings to you and your family!

[@jenniferrivera8627]

So beautiful to see both sides of her story. She is appreciative of both her experiences. One can not go without the other.

Akinyi this was the best video yet coming from you. I have been following your story since 90 days. Then during the pandemic I realized that you had a channel. I have been following you since. I am so proud if you and the growth you and Benjamin have made. I see so much success in your future as husband and wife as long as you keep God in the centre of your lives.

[@mbluebond]

Akinyi, I can’t believe how much I enjoyed this video. You are so bright and beautiful…..AND so hardworking. I love the way you explained everything in the video. The differences are in stark contrast. My take away is that we Americans are very lazy in comparison😂😂I love how you speak about your husband, Benjamin. How you are blessed by God for bringing him into your life. Also, your stepson is just adorable. The three of you look so, so happy! Blessings!!

[@ramatujo]

I love you and love your story. Don't ever change. Coming from Africa I know the difference and it's a shame some people are not proud of their past that's why they're telling you to be specific that it was your experience when the truth is most of us that are here came for a better life experience 😊 because it wasn't all sunshine and roses where we came from. We lived a hard but happy lifestyle with friends, family and the simplicity of Life but we can still appreciate the pleasure of living in this great Nation. God bless you 🙏

[@lindajeanschaffers3673]

So beautifully narrated. I was totally engrossed in your story. There are lessons for people to learn from you. Many of us would be horrified to have to live in Kenya because we would miss the things we take for granted. Your comparisons are so beautifully done that I felt like I was on a journey of realization. I watched a part if your story on TV and was curious when I saw your KZbin post. Thank you.

[@mildredotieno454]

This is my problem with such videos. It feeds into negative perceptions of Africa. Kindly take the time to travel and acquaint yourself with Kenya as a whole before you use words like horrified to describe your stay here.

[@BeeSugar1]

As she said, that is HER story. I grew up in a house that had 4 bathrooms inside the house, never did my own laundry and in fact as my sister says, she hates living in America because of all the chores she has to do now.

[@InTruthNLove]

Linda there are Kenyans who live in better conditions than this woman. Like she said, this is her story & not the story all Africans. It is like if you saw a German person living in similar conditions, most people would automatically never assume that that is the living condition for all German’s, right -especially because they are European? Well, it is the same for Africans and Black Caribbeans. So, it is correct to say that many people would be horrified to live in such living conditions -not necessarily in Kenya because most Kenyans do not live like this woman. This remark goes to show how White people have such an ignorant view of Blacks -they are quick to assume the worse case for all Blacks over one case, but they do not do that when it comes to Whites. Let’s challenge these culturally biased views that we have accepted!

[@GotuwanPankshin]
