LIFE AS A🇰🇪 KENYAN LIVING IN 🇳🇬 NIGERIA

[@ayankunleakanbi1650]

I was born in Ghana. My parents were from Nigeria. My mom too was born in Ghana by her Nigerian parents. I've lived in Ghana, Nigeria, Europe and now in America for three decades. Nigeria is the one country where people give preferential treatment to foreigners over Nigerians. The attitude is usually, 'this one just got here so, let's support him/her.' It's a country where a Black person is not a foreigner. Even during the ill informed decision by the Shagari government that asked undocumented people to leave Nigeria, there were many foreigners that Nigerian elders filed papers for claiming the foreigners as thier children. My own father did it for someone.

[@festfst6488]

Incase you dont know Ghana did ask Nigerians to leave Ghana in 1969 and 1979.. What Nigeria did in 1983, Ghana must go was kind of retaliation.. For undocumented migrants.. We should all get our history right.

[@ayankunleakanbi1650]

Yes! U can correctly say that the cost of living in Nigeria is lower than that of Kenya. Due to their lack of exposure, most Nigerians don't know the fact that their country is comparatively cheaper than any other country in the world. Statistically, the cost of living researches show that Nigeria is the cheapest country not only in Africa but in the whole world. The 2nd country is Pakistan and followed by Malawi in the 3rd place. Due to my aversion to heat, I've not wanted to settle in Nigeria BUT the very low cost of living keeps holding me down in Nigeria. Unlike some young Nigerians who run to some other West African countries only to find that the cost of living is too high, I do my 'homework' very well. Naija is cheaper than any other country ooo!!

[@ChuksReal]

You are spot on. I have tried to enlighten so many people about this, but they rather argue. If you are doing pretty well for yourself here, I bet you, you will be shocked when you go to other African countries

[@babatundeoloye8127]

Very true

The yearly payment is far better because your mind is settled and you have to plan for a year.

[@normal_side]

Good to hear all those accolades from you our sister, just like Bob Marley said, irrespective where you come from, once you're black, you're an African. So wherever you may come from as a black coming to Nigeria you're at home, we don't see you as a foreigners. The only thing is that you came to Nigeria when the economy is so bastardized that living is so challenging. I noticed that Kenyan women travel out of Kenya than the men, (watching you from Europe) I've not come across the men, but i fellowship with some of your women in Church.👋❤

[@andygreat2767]

NIGERIA is a funny country. They love every kind of foreigner and treat them more kindly than their own. I still can't understand why. Nigeria is a vast culturally diverse nation, but we have blended these various cultures into a blessed norm. Even as a Nigerian, There is just so much to learn about your people. 36 states is almost like 36 countries.❤❤❤❤

[@anthonytobi9773]

You are very right about Nigeria cost of living. It is cheaper than Kenya because I watch a lot of Kenya KZbinrs and Thier prices of goods and services. Also your are right about Nigerians like associating with foreigners to learn from them. We pay rent yearly in almost every part of Nigeria.

[@samuelwilliams8099]

@ Rosemary, good morning our dear wife. I am one of your obedient follower a Nigerian based in diaspora. I loved it when you mentioned that Nigeria is a country where no black person is a foreigner. You are absolutely correct! Kudos to you for noticing that. Another none Nigerian who elaborate more on this topic is one of Kenyans and pan-African son Prof Lumumba, a man that we love so much. He has mentioned it as well. Once we noticed that you are a foreign person, we would like to protect you and spoil you that is who we are. Continue to enjoy your stay in Nigeria, if you might need anything, just let us know. Bless you.

[@ChuksReal]

Kenya is on a higher elevation geographically compared to Nigeria so it is expected to be generally cooler. However, in Jos Plateau area and Mambilla Plateau areas, of Nigeria it is as cold if not colder than in Kenya. People who live in the city of Jos and Mambilla in Taraba state have the same weather you have in Kenya

[@Favour2020]

Very Correct. I Missed The Nice Tea.

That's so sweet I appreciate God bless you too ❤️

[@rotimikayode1072]

Many people don't understand it when a Nigerian says I am an African. It is because in Nigeria, you are not a foreigner if you are of African descent.

[@rosemaryjus]

Sure 👍

Very interesting your investigation . When you bought or build a house we do party. When a child is born we do party. When you bought a car we party. We party during burial. We party during graduation ❤❤party party party. December period is a period of total celebration, most Nigeria leaving abroad returned to unite with there love once.

But using of stew for soup is only in south west which Yoruba land . In south east and south south their soup is different without using stew, stew is only use with rice or with yam or any other thing but not with soup at all. Me as a Nigerian when I first come to Lagos it was like am traveling out of Nigeria because that was that first time I no that stew is soup here in south western part of Nigeria.

About the weather it varies from place to place. You cant use Lagos weather to judge the whole country. For instance during rainy season its cold in many places esp the South South region. If you travel to Port Harcourt, Uyo or Calabar the weather is quute cool now.cos it rains nearly everyday

[@rosemaryjus]

Thanks dear that's why I said it's not the whole Nigeria that is hot I understand

[@msresaluv]

Did you watch the entire video and listen to what she said??? If you did you would know that she did not judge the entire country based on Lagos! I don't know where you got this your narrative from.

[@Truth_Unchained]

Nigeria is a hot country ( that includes the east & south-south part of Nigeria). Infact West african region is generally hot except very few places in the region, while most places in the Eastern & and southern parts of Africa are cold. In fact, Africa is blessed in its diversity compared to other continents.

[@AfricasRealities]

We have our own ugali in Nigeria, it's the most popular food in northern nigeria and it's called Tuwo. We are divided amongst ourselves and have tribal hatred, but we definitely love foreigners. Every Nigerian tribe loves foreigners but hate other Nigerian tribes.

[@ChuksReal]

May not really be hatred, may be I'll say competition, sometimes unhealthy. But you are spot on. I have never seen a Nigerian tribe that will discriminate a foreigner. Its a culture, then the Big brother toga too has a rub off on almost everybody seing the country as the big brother of many African neighbours

[@AfricasRealities]

@@ChuksReal I would have agreed with you that's it's competition but from what we read on social media comments, it has moved from competition to hatred.

[@ChuksReal]

@@AfricasRealities well, Its a mixture of both. We still have inter tribal marriages happening every weekend, so hatred might be a very strong word, not denying it exists though. Just as rac..sm

[@AfricasRealities]

@@ChuksReal When you hear some people say they are being envied, hated and Marginalized because they are superior. Or you hear others say that Islam says other religions are Kafir and should be killed, then you will know there is tribal hatred in the land.

[@ChuksReal]

@@AfricasRealities I choose to dwell on the positives. Country of over 250 ethnicities and different religious will always experience pockets of conflicts bc of differences in values and ways of life. So I choose the positives.

[@rotimikayode1072]

The government has backed down on monthly rents after their findings showed that it is actually not in the interest of the people.

Nigerian complain too much.. prices of goods is cheaper in Nigeria than many Africa country even though things are a little beat expensive in Nigeria but price of commodity in Nigeria is still cheaper compared to other Africa country.. And most people don't know dis fact.

The fact Nigeria is blessed with natural resources, if not for corruption in government, things obviously should be cheaper. Nigerians are aware of that, so only demanding for their rights

Active observer No one in their right mind can ever sit and watch someone kill their children with drugs and being trafficked. Prior to you coming to our country, we never thought that there are people who could do that to others. We were totally naive to such acts. You bag Nigerians have educated us. Just the other day a rehabilitated drug was relating to us the story of the dealers he bought his drugs from, they were only Nigerians. We welcomed everyone as we Africans always do, until we were burying our youth. We have tons of videos as proof that the bad Nigerians came to kill, steal and destroy our land South Africa. We don't care what our politicians or anybody calls us. When we stand together, we fight all the evil which tries to destroy our country.

[@hildadavids217]

Correction. You bad Nigerians. We do realize that in every country there are good and bad people. I apologize to all the good Nigerians. Even in South Africa there are bad people.

[@activeobserver1150]

@@hildadavids217 you are a big fat liar. You have been raping your women , babies and killing them in cold blood suddenly it is Nigerians that have force fed you drugs. You are not naive to any acts. You were killed, brutally murdered and dragged by your colonizers… I don’t see you shedding a million tears. Nah, it’s the whole population of Nigerians… many who aren’t even thinking of you that are “ drugging and trafficking” your people. Nigerians killed Casper Nyovest too.Shit it is Nigerians who killed Lucky Dube. Listen and listen very well… some of you are obsessed with Nigeria in very unhealthy ways. It is giving insecurity. It is giving their d*cks and balls are bigger than yours. It’s called cajones. Nigerians have it. You can’t sit there and tell me Nigerian drug dealers forced drugs in you. If there was no market, there wouldn’t be sellers. Now take that mirror and look yourself in the face. You must be ignorant enough to think every Nigerian wants to visit SA. Listen people like Vusi bring light and upliftment. When we sit down and read the vitriol from his country ppl, if SA were to be recolonized… the whole of Africa will laugh and wish them well.! Nigerian doctor living in NY, I’d die a million times before visiting Xenophistan. Not interested in anything SA, like a hit dog you hollared all over this thread, poor tink tink.
