We have a small Somali community in my hometown of Minnesota, and they are friendly people with a business attitude. I am from the USA and am interested in visiting Kenya at some point.
Wow! So much business activities going on! Somalis are the most enterprising Africans and know how to hustle wherever they are in the world! This tour was 👍🏿👌🏿🙌🏿!!! Thanks so much for the sharing Kenya 🇰🇪 and Africa to the world! So happy to see that it’s indeed East African community- the three young Ugandans meeting in Kenya 🇰🇪 in little Mogadishu. Actually it is not little- possibly has the biggest concentration of people of Somali origin outside Somalia 🇸🇴! 254 thanks for hosting your brother- I had fun!
Outside Somalia? Seriously? Somalis are 4th largest tribe in Kenya and are Indeginous to Northern Frontier Districts (NFD 54% of Kenya landmass) which the British amalgamated with Kenya in 1963!
@@thediarysession it is a known fact that northern Kenya is a Somali region given to Kenya by the British. It is also known that there is a large Somali refugee population in Kenya
@@ngarikenya8598 But we are all third world developing countries. A slightly taller dwarf,comparing himself with other dwarfs,does not change the matrix.Let us avoid being bragarts, and focus on building a very formidable economic block.Fact,Kenya cannot survive without her neighbours who happen to be her largest trading partners.
I see my Somali people ❤️🙏 believe or not this people they know how to work and progress all they need is government. Watching Minneapolis USA 🇺🇸 here we have another little muqdisho 😂 one day you can visit
I like Somalis In Nairobi Somalis opened East Africa largest mall few days ago. They are in many countries in Africa doing business. Here Rwanda a Somali company is building 40 thousand homes ✌️
Yes the county and national government need to work together and clean and organize this place, please let this video reach Eastleigh business community office, Governor and MCAs . This place can be the Manhattan New York of Africa. Watching from Santa Fe city in America.
The business owners in Islii already came together even put money together just to clean up the streets, the problem is the local politicians - they're corrupt to core.
Those hardworking somalis in Easleigh are a mix. Most are Somali Kenyans, others are from Somalia. As a non-somali Kenyan, and a Pan-Africanist, I dont care about the difference. This is our home. We only have to work hard, and live better together. We should be past those small political theatrics.
@@Amazing-Grace22 There are native Somali in northern Kenya and some diaspora and refugees in Kenya they all contribute. They probably will return many once the vast oil reserves somalia has comes out in the next few years
I was there eastleigh 2012 waaaw it is totally different now and becoming more beautiful I’m somali from Mogadisho I love Kenya especially eastleigh , thanks for sharing this video and keep going you got my subscribe ❤❤❤
I'm still seeing Eastleigh of the 70's. I'm yet too see the present one physically. I will be facing difficulties locating the areas that I had knowed or visited. Just unbelievable what I'm seeing in your videos today . Salaams from Zanzibar
Thank you sister and brother I appreciate it. I love your videos. You guys did a wonderful clip, Somali people have very good business and they are very nice people and are friendly because they are African.🇸🇴♥️
I am happy to see 👀 my people ( somali) in Nairobi. I do watch your videos from USA 🇺🇸 Specially in Seattle Washington state. I really appreciate your videos since they show me a lot of people who I wanna see always but I can't reach out to them. 👍
Thanks Dolphine for the good work we living abroad really enjoy watching your RU-vid channel,Kenya is a great country despite all the negativity that we here and see in other parts but it's still my country and I love it.
Great Dolphin 🐬 24...we are the people who made this different...we are working day and night..we want to build WHOLE OF AFRICA 🌍 NOT.. only Eastleigh but all ...we are Somali...we need all African to wake up...
Amazin! I was there 2 years ago but a lot has change since then. BBS mall is the latest East African treasure. Can't wait to return before the year ends. From a Somali sister in Canada🥰
Thank you for being such a great host for Ug Connect, a very nice gentleman from our good neighbor Uganda. You're such a great young lady with a lot of class and very authentic as well.
When giving such tours it would help the audience if you could mention the names of the streets because some of us left in 1980s when there were no moles but the streets 1st to 10th and others are places we will never forget. There were also many Eritreans living and thriving in Nairobi I believe there is still a big a community living in Nairobi. Also remember we have the people of Somalia in Ethiopia, Somalia, Djibouti and Kenya because when the Europeans divided Africa same ethnic people ended up in different countries. We should try to promote PAN Africanism
Eastleigh changed. I was born and raised there but living in Europe. I go home every year. We say in Swahili. Eastleigh usiliiee Sheng from eastleigh Streets
Amazing trip and happy to see you two. I hope hakuchoka walking around Eastleigh since that place is a big state on its own with the humongous tall building with many many stalls.
Dolphine…also Many Somalis in Eastleigh are from overseas and they invest here and bring their families here, they play a huge role when it comes to the rapid growth of Eastleigh. Amazing contect..🙏🏼
if this place proper attention for the roads it can be the biggest bussiness hub in africa. connecting all parts of east africa every city should have a place like eastleigh. kudos kenya.
soon our own country will be peaceful enougth to welcome back Somali diaspora untill then Ethopia and Kenya are our second home hopefully our goverment will understand it needs its bussines back home so somali young generation can learn and get jobs h
How are these businesses funded? What is the source of the start- up capital? It is very difficult to borrow money from banks especially the foreign banks incorporated in the country.
Businesses are funded by family members or as partners they trust one person and give him the money so he can start its all about trust in between somalis no any other community can do that. If somali want to start a business and he is serious and want 50,000 usd he will just go and present the idea to the family member then he gets and pays back the money slowy without interest.
The Somalis unlike other communities are a very united society. I heard that they raise money jointly and generously without caring the outcome that's why you see so much investments here. Again more than two people can rent a space but each with his/her own different business activity.
Kikuyu's do this mostly through Chamas.. shida tu ni trust level it's not the same like Somalis. Unaeza ibiwa but regardless we still do it and there's many successes
There should be a trash collecting company by now, with all that money circulating. It was dirty in the 90s when I lived there, still dirty decades later.
Are you both seeing somethings I am not paying attention to? Reason I am asking is because I am looking at hustling everywhere and lots of development meaning that once the mall is completed, all these minor issues will be sorted out.
