Are we somalis not Kenyans? I don't get it. You say somali developers and Kenyans are workers? Somalis are just one of ethnicities in Kenya. Does this mean you will look for other tribes' houses too? Like Giriama or Oromo or Kikuyu homes? It's just unnecessary? Architectural designs are not a preserve of certain ethnicities
You’re not Somali. You’re a Kenyan troll that harasses Somali channels all over youtube. It’s sad really These investors are not Kenyan. They’re Somalis with different nationalities, who have invested in Nairobi.
You know there's Kenyan Somalis from north eastern, and in Nairobi, a lot of them are from Somalia, or refugees returning. There's those born in Nairobi too. She is probably selling to her Somali subscribers or foreigners hence the dollar reference. While some are Kenyans, many of you segregate yourselves. You live together. If you ask for an apartment built by a Somali, they will say it's booked by a Somali.
@@donnajoe4442Don't be ridiculous. A majority of Somalis in Kenya are Kenyans. There are over 40 different ethnic groups in Kenya and Somalis are the 6th largest. The crudity and ignorance with which she discusses race and ethnicity is alarming. I really hope people take time to do their own research.
@@nightnyungwe5945 Maybe you need to do better research and understand people migrated during the war in 1991 to Nairobi. Yes we know there's Kenyan Somalis but there's plenty more from Somalia. They cross all the time.
@@donnajoe4442 Those who migrated found a pre-existing Kenyan Somali group in place. Who are you to argue with history? Who are you to argue with population and housing census of the Kenya government???
Why buying an apartment in Kenya for $200,000 dollars? Are Kenyans now working and being paid in dollars?. I think you can build your own decent house 3 to 4 self contained with $30,000 or more, then save the balance to open shop or other business. Balance money will take you a long way.
It’s not operating in dollars but I want people to know that 30million ksh is $200k usd. For the international audience who don’t know or understand ksh
From an investor perspective I would say renting is a good idea cause it’s cheaper. In the US I only purchase a property for rental if for every 100k in mortgage I make $1k. In this case for a place worth $200k I would need to collect $2k in rent per month.
Yes. Most buyers work for tech companies and such. Kenya is a leading tech hub in Africa. Young buyer prefers the neighborhood because of fast internet, clubs, top restaurants, and such services compared to living a more peaceful life away from the city. They are paid in dollars. Kenya is home to over 27 UN agencies too.
1:36 If you live in Nairobi you can easily get the wrong picture. Kenya is not as diverse as you think. Yes Nairobi is diverse with people from all over Africa and all over the world particularly with the presence of multinationals and global agencies within Nairobi. But a little bit away from Nairobi, you will get into Kikuyu territory, Masai territory, kamba territory ... etc basically the typical native Nilotes or Bantus. It is just like when you are in the UK and you are in London, you will think that the UK is a very diverse country . But get a few kilometers away from London and you are in the middle of nowhere in the countryside farmlands with native English people many of them whom have never left their local area. In short, you must realize that Kenya is not an immigrant country like the USA, Canada, Australia etc.
There are Cushites too in Kenya but yes, better for one to conduct proper research. This RU-vidr in general, does have a tendency to say some really outrageous things eg Africans don't own anything in real estate etc.
@@nightnyungwe5945 beside of this matter of Geenyada’s Videoclip/vlog, Really you are too soft and pure ignorant💯👌🏾🤪❌. She spoke & massaging and explained with her people (Somali Diaspora) and you should respect ✊🏾 her by that💯👌🏾. Any way you got hurt by her truth 💯👌🏾✅. A Somali🇸🇴People are A Somali🇸🇴all around over the World 🌍🌏🌎❤️✊🏾😇💯✅. Weather they live or leaving those countries okay 👍🏾 are you listening 👂🏽🤣😂🤣💯. A somali🇸🇴People don’t take fake Nationalities in realistic matter, but they took fake Nationalities as passports and papers because with opportunities temporarily. No matters if you were happy or Not💯❌❌❌❌👌🏾. We Somalian’s 🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴Don’t care other ethnicities or other peoples Misconceptions💯❌❌❌❌❌❌❌🤣😂🤣😂.
Sister, please be careful with your wording as it could come across that certain ethnicities are dominant while others are not. You come from America as a tourist so you could incite tribal and not appreciate your the weight of your words on local. Lets not feed into the European mindset of dividing us. We are all African. One love. One Africa.
This channel is a little divisive when it comes to this Somali thing. It Seems like when you talk of Somalis you are not refering to Kenyan Somalis who are Kenyan born and raised. Kenyan Somalis are Kenyans like any other tribes and have contributed alot in national building and have even died for Kenya as a nation. These other Somalis who are coming as visitors or refugees from other countries seems to be creating this narative like they are the once building everything Somalian in Kenya. Smh
Somali people are Somali🇸🇴🙏🏾❤️😴🗣❌. What Ever faKe nationalities they have or as a paper nationalities all over the world 🌎 🌍. But Somalian’s Don’t have Any Other etnicity than they are Somali🇸🇴&+++++. Guy’s She spoke honestly & she is talking with Her people “Somali🇸🇴Diaspora Specially western countries” and you are attacking her by that”. You are bias people💯😢. But,not Geenyada And why you attacking her with Non Sense💯😢?!!!!!
@@canabcabdulle6500I have tried to explain this fact to Kenyans, they don't listen. At the end of the day a Somali is a Somali no matter where they are domiciled.
@@donnajoe4442 Nope. These other Somalis are the once that kills other Kenyans and we don’t like them. They are the once that came with this nonsense of Somalis this Somalis that. We never use to hear that until they came to Kenya as refugees.
@@canabcabdulle6500 These other Somalis from other countries mostly Somalia came up with this so they can hide among Kenyan Somalis who have lived with other Kenyans for years without any issues.
I don't get it Geenyada, are somalis not Kenyans? Why say Kenyans are workers and somalis are the developers? We are KENYANS too 😐 anyway all these ethnicication of houses is polarizing viewers. E.g. when will you say you're visiting a Kikuyu home or Luo home or a Mijikenda or Giriama home?
*Since she is going to live in Kenya no doubt she is going to learn about Kenyan national values - political and cultural. Wish she knew how her Kenyan/Tanzanian/Ugandan/Rwandese - listeners here are put off by that kind of divisive language. If she thinks the owners of all those posh houses are foreigners then she has a lot to learn.*
@@s.koileken369 The thing is such a statement really drives a wedge between somalis, who are Kenyans and other Kenyans. People will have even more reason to think of us as non-Kenyan, some foreigners. Even the Arabs and Indians she is mentioning are actually just Kenyans. So if she says Somalis, Arabs and Kenyans it is very wrong because they are all Kenyan. Hope she will learn that Kenyans aren't just "Christians"
@@AliAsadMo The presence of so many people from the Country of Somalia has created that narrative bro , and to even bring more confusion they have stayed here for a very long time so every reference made ignorantly suggests that every Somali came from Somalia , more public awareness is needed on this issue .
She doesn't have no journalism education. Is something they teach not to mention races and ethnicity in journalism schools as it could affect local tribes.
@@mrshonourableBecause that's a name that came from the British and it has stuck since then. When you say Sq, people understand what you mean. Maybe a better one to use is staff quarters.
Somali owners, Kenya workers...oookay...you also said a Kenyan guy paid for your outing but a Somali guy was next level....Kenya has over 40 tribes including Somalis, so why you keep trying soo hard to separate Somalis from kenyans?
I think you mean Chinese, Indian and Somali foreign investors. Of course there are Somali and Indian Kenyans but as Real estate investor myself I can tell this are foreign investors maybe partnering with locals but the money is coming from outside Kenya.
Government are not controlling the price set of this flats and rents is every business with there term of business which is really sad and even safety of the property not inspect by the local authority .very over priced every where in nairobi.
East Africa appears more expensive than West Africa. In Nigeria, $2000 will get you a nice apartment for the whole year in a nice location in Lagos, and you pay it upfront. Also, $60,000 will buy you a nice 3 bedroom apartment in a nice area
They're beautiful but too expensive compared to other parts of Africa. Reduce the sizes in order to fit more units in the building and get more apartments. So you can get your money back and make your profit. That doesn't mean you have to reduce them to Japanese city apartment sizes 😂
Y'all be tripping where she is a gated community less noise no dust to cut the short short it is for the rich 😂😂😂 we have nice apartments in the ghetto 3 bedroom goes for 300 dollars no gym nor swimming but there is security guard who open for you gate infact it has to 5 phases the problem is jam
Young people do not want gated communities. They want such apartments. Close to clubs and restaurants where they order food with apps. Most buyers are actually young people or older ones that target young renters and travellers via AirBnB.
I think prices all over the world are really interesting, just as a comparison, in Munich, Germany, you can barely rent 1 bedroom apartements (without any further living room and stuff) for under 1400 USD, plus they dont come with build-in closets and kitchen and stuff. So if thats what you compare it to, its actually very cheap. What I also asked myself is, why you call buildings after different ethnicitys? Like where I live, every building is basically pretty similar and the people living in it bring some of there housing culture but the base is just neutral.
The Somalis, Arabs and Indian developers build bigger houses than the Chinese homes. It’s just how it is. That’s why my agent mentioned that. Don’t kill the messenger.
@@Geenyada Thats really interesting, i did not know there where these differences as its not the case in my home country. Thanks for letting me know :)
Greetings Geenyada, can you talking about of amenities ( gym, pool etc) how much is for renters and owners. I have watched many real estate related videos and no-one talks about amenities??
In some parts of Canada u can buy 200000 dollars townhouse and rent it for 1800 dollars. This is Canadian Dollars I am talking about. How much can u rent for a 200000 dollar home in Kenya?
Why would a mere condo cost 200000 in a poor country like Kenya. It is beyond expensive and stupid. My point is how much is the ROI. But I guess u didn't understand what I meant.
@@zayaamad3080 You need to grow up.There is much more demand in a city like Nairobi by expatriates, international ppl, visitors and rich kenyans including somalis for land and housing which is scarce in good places.Canada has small towns which are cold, remote and the only big cities are like 3 or 4. Demand pushes prices up and amny houses in Nairobi are even more expensive than in Hollywood or NYC. Get a book and read on the theory of demand and supply illiterate man
@@YesOoko shhhhhhhh. U don't know what I am talking about so just keep quiet. I have nothing more to say to you because you are disrespectful.. chill because you are really an angry piece of a human sh*t
Africans can come to Eastern Europe to the countries of the Intermarium Western Bałkans is well safe and comfortable these countries offer education, vocational training, courses, the climate is good there are forests you have to do it legally come legally with documents, ID card or passport
Thanks so much for taking me with you for house hunting . Excellent video. Tell the brother thanks. I wouldn’t pay that because I can buy a home with my own compound

I keep sayn most of them still bitter...go build ur country don't be like slaves in other ppls land thow we have our own humble somalis who are proud to be Kenyans.
@@raanajak471 corruption stinks to high heavens , ukweli tuseme, hio nyumba ya rooms kama choo inaistahili 170k usd? genyada should be ashamed on endorsing such corruption here online
As foreigner who had lived in Kenya for 3 years .. her video helped me to make a good choice about my future plan to buy a house in kilimani region, i can say : the race or nationality of the owner has an impact in the house design and size ( Muslim owners usually came from a big families that why they prefer big houses , despite Chinese or indians ) , the same way I noticed when I was in Kiambu that Kikuyus landlords build big apartments with small pieces to make more benefits.. so instead of taking her video to make noise about your tribe ego .. try to understand those difference for someone who want to settle down in Kenya , ie from a foreigner perspective.. Kenya is beautiful by its diversity ( I loved bcz of all herpeople) , Advice delete those racist comments don't give them a space to spread their mental tribe ego disease in your beautiful chanel .
WELL DONE 👏🏾 HABO MCN XABIIBTII👸🏽GEENYADA GUULEEYSO💯👏🏾✅. DON’T EVER HESITATE YOUR HONEST AND TRUTHFULNESS OF GIVING INFORMATION TOWARDS YOUR DIASPORA🌎& LOCAL SOMALI🇸🇴PEOPLE BY THE OTHER AFRICAN IGNORANTS’ SPECIALLY BIASED KENYANS🇰🇪 🗣😢😴🤣😅🤣😂
