Been in the US 3.5yrs now and cant wait to go back. Africa is the most tranquil, serene place. Africans dont even know that their air is fresh as hell, food is safe and healthy, people actually talk to each other unlike in developed countries. And that “talking” is a free mental health stabilizing program that Africans will never understand or appreciate , and one that White people will never appreciate because they don’t see it. Only Africans who have lived in both worlds understand.it is so deep. So deep.

You articulate your reasons very well. My 3 siblings split their time between Kenya and the U.S but definitely enjoy a higher quality of life in Kenya. They're in careers that enable them to do that. This will make their transition back to Kenya very smooth. I on the other hand work for the government and get very little time off, so I don't spend much time in Kenya. I also developed numerous health issues after contracting covid 5 times, so I have to be in the U.S so as to receive the care I need. I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard place. I could easily afford to live in Kenya since I have properties there, but my health makes it impossible.

I want to return because there is nothing like home, culture is a huge factor, and I also want to take part in growing my country. Luckily I've fallen in love with another African that shares my mission to return. I've even convinced her that Kenya is the place to be. Saa hii anajaribu kujifunza Kiswahili.

You are doing a GOOD thing. I was born from a Caribbean Island and came to the US and was raised there. The point you make in regards to your children and how they're American but their culture is Kenyan is VERY real. The other thing is that when it comes time for them to get married, that will speak a lot to who they can choose to marry. For those children who grew up like this, it's very hard to find a mate who shares similar values. While I love to see diverse cultures here in the US, I understand where you're coming from.

I moved back to Nairobi but not to a village I don't have a village to move back to. I was born in Nairobi but my old neighbourhood is destroyed full of high rises and all neighbourhood childhood friends have left /driven out mostly in diaspora and unfortunately several close friends have passed away. I tried to live outside Nairobi and hated it.Friends wise I found it difficult to make new friends trying to relate to people who have mostly never left Kenya. Also as a single woman I did not feel safe and the attitude of men was just annoying. I also did not like the frustration of getting even simple things done. Dealing with a corrupt system is soul destroying. The power cuts became boring and yes there is family but they can be too much. I realised I liked my freedom in the UK and cherished the diversity of my friends. For those who have villages to go to then it makes sense. For Nai born and bred it is just exchanging one rat race for a polluted, chaotic other rat race.

Upon all the lectures, make sure you have something concrete to live on and do if you relocate to home country else life could be more depressive. Take it easy! One step at a time and also consider the type of education you want for your kids. Above all, be more prayerful and avoid comparisons.

20 years is more than enough to return back home. 10-15 years abroad is enough if you plan your return the first day you land abroad. At 40-45 years old, you should be back home to enjoy your sweat.

Thousands of Kenyans move back to Kenya...Not everyone in Kenya is poor as you all know and without stealing!....Many Kenyans who have good jobs or lucrative Businesses live better than many Kenyans in America or Europe or anywhere outside Kenya. It depends on your family financial level when they left Kenya or when growing up in Kenya. Mostly if your family was /is poor or does not have anything in Kenya then these people do not want to go.back. He is correct, qualify of life is much better in Kenya if you have enough money to support your family. Help - here we have no help - we have to cook, clean, take care of the house and family and transport kids to school all by yourself - in Kenya even people in gishagi have housegirls . In central many who are doing ok have house girls and drivers - Disapora are always tired , many work 2 jobs never home, kids being raised by video games, parents spend very little time with their children - many Disapora children are in trouble in America - in jail, pregnant at 14, or on drugs or very disrespectful to the parents. Like he said also correct - The children of Disapora also have identity crisis and a complex, as he said they dont fit in with black American children or the whites . So they over do it or self isolate to cover their complex. I will be moving back in 2 years for better community , more family and a more less stressful life but like he said, you must have a. Plan to move anywhere in the world . Let us remember there are poor lower social economical level people in all countries - many homeless in America. Its so foolish some Kenyans think all Kenyans should be on the same financial level mostly due to jealousy. All country's have people on different levels, there are poor , average and rich people in every country like America and in Europe too. So your not the first ones, it will be fine so long as you have a plan work on it Daily as you would in any country. All the Best.❤️🇰🇪. There are ex Disapora gtoups in Nairobi, check them out. 15:16

True. So many of my friends and relatives want to come to America. I know that if their circumstances were different, they would stay in Kenya.

The things mnaandamana for are things we are already taxed for in the US. The cost of living in the US has risen so sharply after COVID, same as Canada and Europe. You guys think its just Kenya but we already experienced that and even if you switch presidents, it wont solve it because your currency depends on US dollar , and if our costs have risen unbearably, so shall yours. But do what you can. Exercise your rights. At least you will say you tried

@@ivy29 In Kenya its tax hikes are due to out of control Loans interest rate repayments. Post covid inflation had already been factored in in previous budgets. And unlike US, Kenya cannot print its own currency to repay debt. Austerity measures just taken by govt are already a win.
