Hey Coop, I’d highly recommend connecting with AfrikanTraveller as well. I think that networking opportunity will offer you plenty more exposure, experience and additional networks that you’d love

hi man .... you were in my hood next time hallar by i take you for lunch

Kibera is NOT the largest slum in Africa which units of measurement was used and by who? There are only 170,070 2009 CENSUS not 1 million people in kibera. Please don't be part of the NGO lies for FUNDING. Enjoy the motherland

Lol ungwaro is way better

@@k3ygvrv Yes my brother but that does not negate the fact that I have lived in a slum & I know how it feels like to go for days without food or water,eating once a day boiled sukuma & ugali, we had to borrow money from kiosks near our "apartment"

@@jeswazwadi7049 don't let anyone take away from ur growth. Ur struggles define ur character not who u are as a person

If you don’t mind me asking, where do you live now? Were you born in Kawangware? Were your parents, grandparents, or other family? How old were you when you moved? Sorry for all the questions. I’m just fascinated by the people and their stories from places like these. The people are amazing, beautiful, and resilient. I just wonder how these places came to be and where all the people came from and how they ended up there. Were they originally nomads and ended up in places like these because of hardships? I’m just curious about your story and the story and history of these places. Btw, you’re so pretty 😊.

Everything is perspective. You don’t know what you don’t know and you don’t miss what you don’t have “til the internet brings fomo to the area” In America most everyone has their own place to live with running water and power and shops at a corporate store. But in America there is no community and no sense of neighbor. Over there they call someone who lives a mile away in the slum their neighbor and will help them when in need. In America you can’t even get a cup of sugar two houses down from yours

Why does America seem so bleak compared to anywhere else in the world. We have no sense of community no sense of family even within our families everyone is tied into the rat race being a taxed slave. In America parents helping out their kids is helping pay maybe 1/4 of their college payment if that n kick them out on their way. Rather in smart families and other nations families stay close knit helps and work on the same issues to be sure everyone is on the same page an advancing together

@@thisandthat1523 what's your point in saying that? Yes, there's no honour or dignity in poverty but you can't bury your head in the sand either. Tis what it is. I'm Kenyan, and yes he should shed a light on all things Kenyan. To who it may concern!

@Rick Lowery Nah bro it's been almost 60 years. We're doing just fine voting in leaders that don't give a shit. They put us in tight spots but we kept ourselves there.

unfortunately, kibera is the wrong pronunciation. people from another community who have to insert vowels between consonants are the ones who moved into kibra and changed the pronunciation. but the original inhabitants, the nubians, still call it kibra, not kibEra.thats why in official records its called kibra constituency

@@TheTororist 🤣🤣🤣the Bantus with our vowels where they don't fit🤣. Now look at what we've done to Kibra. I think everyone needs to be educated on this knowledge.

@@RoseSchwinn 😂😂😂Me too lol. People should really know this

Very true. You have to visit to experience the sheer joy these people have despite the hardships.

He gets the MESSAGE ✊🏾

With all due respect I disagree. I live next to Kibera and I think it would serve this residents to be mad. There have been plans to modernize this area dating back to 2003; government contracts were handed out, billions were allocated to bring in piped water and sewage, high speed broadband and affordable housing but a combination of bad leadership and graft ensured no major improvement occured. There have been 3 elections since that first commitement but the residents of Kibera have never changed who they vote for and when they change their leadership the titles simply moves from brother to brother yet the electrolate never hold their leaders accountable.

@David Mwayi I heard on another video that it’s estimated to take over a 1000 years for Kibera to be semi-modernized because the ppl don’t want to leave and the govt can’t force them out. But you are so right about the grift and corruption. Sadly anywhere ppl can gain money and power, grift and corruption is rampant. Doesn’t matter how poor or rich a country is, most politicians are sleazy and corruptible. It’s sad that the ppl are easily misled and used by these bad politicians. Education in these parts should be free and widely available. It’s heartbreaking how many of the poor ppl are exploited by the politicians and wealthier ppl. The ppl are amazing despite all of it. My heart goes out to them all.

@@jiffylube2636 I'm not sure where you got the 1000 years from but even in my most pessimistic opinion that number sounds over inflated. also Kenya has free education upto high school level and we have very high literacy levels on average but I've been looking into this issue lately ,cause I'm considering running for elective office, and I have a pretty good idea of why and how places like Kibera, Majengo all this other low income places got to where they are and I could write you a book about it. The cliff notes are corruption, a failure of the judiciary branch of government and a lack of civil education.

Time to LEVEL UP 📈

🙂😳Are all oranges orange where you come from?

actually restaurants were associated with bar and were shunned by some folk...lol..everything was bar & restaurant..

@@mwanikimwaniki6801 Yes they are. And the passion fruits we import are all the purple variant. We don't get the yellow

@@whatsupsweden 😳that's odd. I hardly see orange ones apart from when I'm in the town market. Local ones are all green.

@@mwanikimwaniki6801 Just as odd as I found it to be in Kenya when they were green 😂 Also our lemons are always yellow, our limes are green. That was a bit surprising too that the most common lemons in Kenya are green. My friend got mad at a waitress because she thought that she got a lime when she had asked for a lemon, because it was green 😂

Exactly..bit ghetto life is so addictive 🤷

Very well said... Kenya needs to get every city modernised to the level of Nairobi .

The other thing Kenyans need to understand that one doesn't have to travel to the city to make a living, you will be surprised that some people living in that slum left acres of land in their villages instead of embracing farming. Farming can generate income if done the right way. Unfortunately a lot of people do not believe farming is a job.

@@nancykamotho7019 well said

@@nancykamotho7019 ofcos there are more opportunities in the city, the government should create more jobs.

No sane individual will leave acres of land just to live in such a dire state again most of them are born and raised there, stop being naive guys

Doesn’t look as bad as some places in India. Considering the amount of ppl who live there it could be much worse. Looks as though the ppl themselves, not the govt, try to keep it somewhat tidy, as best as they can with their limited resources and options. I love their spirit as well.

No its not Khayelitsha in Cape Town is 2nd Kibera is number 1 in Africa by size and population
