@@arhadi-mt3fs It’s not a competition. If it were simply about development levels, we would just stay in our home countries and cities like Paris, Frankfurt, or Stockholm. For those of us in the diaspora, our choices are influenced by more than just the level of development. Personally, with Rwandan heritage, I have a natural affinity for Rwanda but we are still very underdeveloped. And as a physician, I see greater opportunities to establish my own practice in Nairobi, within a predominantly Black African setting. South Africa, while developed, presents its own set of challenges of unprecedented crime levels and a white supremacist structure in place. A significant factor for many in the diaspora is escaping racism and white supremacy, which is more prevalent in regions with strong European, Dutch, and Anglo influences, such as South Africa, where there is a large Caucasian population who calls much of the shots. Despite its flaws, Kenya is a Black African country. I would choose Nairobi over Cape Town any day.

One main advantage is that it also has a port with sea access which all major global powerhouses must have now for maxium international trade etc. NEW YORK, DUBAI, MIAMI, RIO, BARCELONIA, ISTANBUL, eyc etc etc are all global players. Nairobi is okay but its location put it at a huge disadvantage on attracting big international money & investors.

You blended in in Cape Town because they assumed you are a coloured, how would you not know that? And why are you in Nairobi if Cape Town got the most points in your categories? Dude, you need to head South if that is where you found most joy.
