He must have made his researches, those goons are everywhere, what the he'll are they looking in Kenya all the way West Africa????, would rather welcome and have millions and millions of Tanzanians,Ugandans, Ethiopians, Rwandese, Congolese, but not even a handful of those goons and corrupt fraudsters, the Baiafrans, no one needs them, not even in the West, but they've discovered a safe haven in Kenya, they should getout!!!!!!!!

[@festusigiewe2914]

This place looks eerily familiar; just like a typical Nigerian city. This one was built by native Kenyans. This is definitely no Nairobi & we know who built that one.

[@heidipratt1097]

Who built that one? Because Nairobi was built by Jomo Kenya, the old Nairobi, the skyscrapers and all that. The roads were built by President Kibaki and then Uhuru Kenyatta. Now the new skyscrapers you see in Nairobi, you will be shocked to know that they are owned by Kenyans, mostly local saccos and local banks. So, who built Nairobi according to you? if I may ask.

[@festusigiewe2914]

@@heidipratt1097 Reading your response, one would never know about British East Africa and how the UK dumped so many British Indians on Kenya. This was Jomo Kenyatta & the Mau Mau's major complaint. The idea here was to highlight how modern Nairobi benefitted originally from British town planning and not who owns what. This is actually what makes Ruaka different. I did not mean to step on sore toes. Forgive me if I did.
