Somalis in East Leigh

[XimanJaale]

I stayed in Grand Royal hotel on 12th Street but I am moving out of there tomorrow to a Downtown hotel. This place is filthy when outside

Oh ok, make sure you don't wear your best shoes when you going to the mosque in 12th street.

what sort of money are you spending on accomodation?

are you traveling alone?

They are the most honest hard working Somalis in the diaspora. Walking on the streets of East Leigh, I run into a lot of Somalis making an honest living and selling small things like (nuts, belts, T-shirts, camel milk) and putting on 10 hours shift in those dusty streets of Nairobi. I wish they deport all lazy Somalis in the west and replace them with these hard working people . They also have to deal with those corrupt fufu police who take all their earnings every now and then

Good for them

Would love to go to Nairobi, hopefully in the near future I will, inshallah

I've been told they won't accept it & accuse you of forgery so I had to carry it with me or risky spending three nights in jail with these smelly kenyans. If they take it away form me, I am already registered with the american embassy in Nairobi so I will get another passport

That is true sxb. They stopped me once while driving and threatened me with an arrest unless I gave them money because I only the copy of my passport and the visa. Don't give these clowns any excuse, carry your passport with you all the time.

Zulaika - we will roll down the red carpet for you if you visit here.

I have been to Nairobi more than i can count and have never set a foot in that place. I always advice people i know to get out of that place while they can because sooner or later they will get massacred.

Kenya as whole is a bubble just waiting to burst.

they are also very religious. all the women are wearing niqab and all the men qamis and big beard. and the mosques are filled to the brink every prayer time.
.
I want to Ethiopia, and the women are wearing dirac and men are eating khat all day, there is only a couple mosques and they are half empty and ppl hardly pray.

I'd go on record and say it's more expensive than the states. I cash 100 dollar in the morning and by the end of the day i have nothing left. The GRH i stayed was 2000/night and 100 dollar gives 8400. Plan at least 7k if you are trying to stay more than a month and don't have family here

Only a fool would think wearing niqab or qamis as being pious.

The locals tell me exactly so. I run into this chick wearing niqaab at the hotel lobby and she goes roomkee dagantahay. I was like acuudi bilaahi

[XimanJaale]

Majority of the Somali women in Nairobi that wear Niqab are prostitutes.

[Jam Street]

Nairobi is a whore house and everybody knows that.

Whats the reason you came to Nairobi? If you don't mind sharing. Business related or visiting relatives?

well leave what is in their heart to God, but you can't compare, women wearing a skimy dirac, all hunging out, to a women wearing hijab with niqab. and men eating khat all day and smoking to men who are praying five times a day in the mosque, that is the difference between Nairobi and Addisababa Somalis.

Ximan, Me and my brother are opening a business here so I will be staying here for about two months to setup everything. I won't be sharing what kind of business tho lol
