[SIZE=5]This is Auckland New Zealand. If you look closely, stark similarities clearly exist between this city below and Nairobi.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=5] For starters the duka pavements or verandahs are similar in width to those of Tom Mboya street or Kimathi street. The British laid out their streets in the same way throughout the commonwealth. In the commonwealth all duka’s and streets have similar corridors/pavements. This is the same in most of America except the South which had a lot of French and Spanish influence e.g City of New Orleans.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=5]Even the business signage below is 100% similar to that of Nairobi. But you don’t see any hawkers on these pavements below tripping you as you walk by or forcing you to walk on the road. The narrator says that the streets here are so clean that some New Zealanders prefer walking barefoot.[/SIZE]
In as much I hate imperialism, I will never stop respecting and appreciating mzungus and East Asians’ quest to build the best possible environment for their people possible and advance their civilizations.
Remember New Zealand is an agricultural economy. 80% of exported goods from New Zealand were agricultural goods especially meat products to countries like China and the middle east. So you dont have to focus solely on the I.T route , agribusiness is also viable! One could even say that people need food more than they need phones. Man must eat.
I always wished the Jungus colonized us until late 80s/early 90s or till when we got multi partism. We could be having VW/BENZ plants in Thika, Formula 1 track in Machakos, kisumu would be like Liverpool and Nakuru as Big as Birmingham but of course look at us now.
Why are those things not in Namibia, it became independent in 1990. Get this, colonies were for supplying raw materials and providing markets for the finished products. Colonies could never be allowed to compete with the colonizer
If the Mzungu turns everything he touches to gold why is most of South America a shitshow, some cherry picked commonwealth countries that are 90% british immigrants won’t change the brutality of colonialism and what its goals were.
If the British were still here you’d be laying railway tracks to the congo and still wearing your id around your neck like a dog.You’d never set foot in Nairobi or whatever English name it would be called.You’d have no land, your only education would only be class 8 level.
you really want to compare Namibia a 90% desert and Kenya. Look at Mzanzi where they are. I travelled to Joburg once on a work related assignment and those guys are own their own levels. Had Mzanzi been Kenya we could be at par with Likes of Likes of Spain.
If you go to bulawayo zimbabwe you will appreciate urban planning. The streets are wide and well planned with green spaces and parking bays. I can authoritatively say that Bulawayo has the best streets in Africa. Here am trying to stick to the main topic by @patco
This is one of the few subjects that you and I agree on. Brits and generally Western Europeans are very good at planning and management. They plan cities taking into account future development.
Negroes on the other hand are addicted to vibamandas
Kenya was a British colony for about 70 years. In those years, they did not establish a University, never built Nairobi-Mombasa road, Nairobi-meru, Nairobi-nyeri etc. They were only interested in giving the minimum and carting away the most through the railway
Listen to me y’all self-hating negros. Had Europeans stayed in Kenya for a longer time, Kenya would undoubtedly be wealthier, developed and Kenyan Europeans would be wealthy as f*! As for Africans, you will be nothing but free slaves working in their farms, factories and as low-level soldiers. You will also be lucky not to have been wiped off the map through systematic low-voltage genocide like the Maoris, Native Americans, Native Canadians, or Aboriginal Australians.
Even today, if the Brits were to manage Kenya until 2050, just 30 years, Kenya would produce everything including luxury cars and aircraft Shida tu ya negro ni mismanagement na myopic thinking.
I sometimes think of what happen to all the trees in a country like Canada if African Negroes moved there en mass.
