So sad. Aki diasporans hupitia mengi. Huku life ni khaaard jo. Imagine kuosha watu wazee, kazi ya wochi na kadhalika. Tunasemanga tutarudi home sweet home lini ndio tuishi poa kama nyinyi. Woooiiii.
can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or you are serious
Both. There are people who can’t hack life abroad hata na dawa. Bado kuna opportunities but America is one country where you want to come here with a plan, and hopefully there’s someone to show you around. Kama huna plan hii nchi itakupanga hadi ulie.
wooooooi, wooooooi
You are in a financial and social prison there, you being a second class citizen.
Not necessarily. If you crack a higher income status, you no longer stay second class. It’s expensive to be poor. For example, a poor man finances a car at 9% interest. A rich man does it at 0.5%. The richer you get in the US, even those closed societies start opening up to you. The amazing thing is that they will actually come looking for you. The high end private golf clubs have traditionally blackballed black men. But they let in very high net worth black athletes and business people.

Very sad story, madree ni mbaya
What are the chances of a kenyan immigrant being a 1 percenter ie an annual income of 450k usd?
Of course we have several but the odds are highly staked against you.
It’s the land of opportunity. Even if you are exemplary, there is no guarantee to make it to the top 1%. What people generally try to do is to make it to the middle class. You can do this with a solid plan and extremely hard work. Aim for a hot career, that is the short cut. Then you can push up the ranks. But in my experience, going up the corporate ladder is very hard. Soon I will write a thread on this. So just become the indispensable professional eg a doctor, lawyer, dentist is the easiest route to the 1% , and upper middle class if you miss that. IT and other health careers generally can get you to the upper middle class if played right. Or you can try pure business. But there are Kenyans in that top percentile, most of whom you may not know. And to be honest, there’s only a select few top income earners in any country.
Why do you belabor yourself trying to explain what most would never understand?
Experience is the best teacher. To recapitulate, the US is the greatest country on earth.
Even if you are let into the club, you are still a second class member. Its an indelible label.
No you are not. Like I said, break into the upper middle class and you leave the past behind you. And anyway, are any better in Kenya?
Huyo mama ni kama bangi ya California ndio ilimumaliza. Na huku ni kama ameanza kukunywa virobo ama glue. If she was younger coomer ingemuokelea lakini the proverbial wall na addiction are doing a number on her.
Say what?
Money talks.
