i didn't know we had any kenyans here. what tribe are you? my step father was shona. i'm not sure if there are any in kenya but thought it mite be of interest to you.

***SE9*** · October 21st, 2005, 08:10 PM

ah.. well there are no Shona in Kenya, but there are ethnic groups in Kenya that are very closely related to the Shona.

Well Im half Kikuyu, the biggest group, which is closely related to the Shona....

and half Luo (an ethnic group that moved down the Nile from Sudan about 100 years ago)... not related to the Shona.

I moved to London when I was v. young... but i visit back regularly!

Nice, Nairobi is known to be one of Africa's best and nicest cities. I have a friend from Kenya who told me lots of stories about the country.

shayan · October 21st, 2005, 08:51 PM

are thet really poor in Kenia? i mean like other nations in afrika like somalia and ethiopia. Or are the living standard in Kenia better than in the earlier named nations??

Bahraini Spirit · October 21st, 2005, 09:02 PM

Well there are poor ppl in Kenya, just like any other place in Africa. But it's considered one of the better African countries if you know what I mean.

***SE9*** · October 22nd, 2005, 08:33 AM

That's right. There are many poor peoples in Kenya, but Kenya has always been just about the strongest country in East Africa.

i think you need to visit the african city thread to see that there are many nice cities in africa, not including Northern Africa, and South Africa.

follow the link http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showth...89#post3364189 about 30 sub-saharan cities are on display on the thread and hundreds of pics over the 9 pages.
