I lived in Thika many years back and loved the town. It is a very affordable town to live in with practically everything. @Dolphine 254, your footage of an improved Thika town makes me want to go back.
During my recent visit to Kenya, someone commented on one of my videos that Thika town is cleaner than Kigali and that I should visit to showcase it on video. This video gives a different impression though! Kenyans Nawapenda sana ❤
That guy only hears about he has not been there. Kigali you will spend a whole month without washing your shoes there is no dust. Those guys there sweep roads with soft broom afterwards repairs
Hi I was 10 when I left Thika. I have been in the UK ever since. I lived at the Thika Temple on the Workshop road. I am surprised that you have not videod any of that part. Please are you able to do that? As well as inside the temple and the green area outside as well as the gurudvara opposite and Jainshara on the left of the temple. Gatumaini school and chania high school was where we were 6:26 educated.
Dolphine..ineed your advice on making content..you are my mentor..how much is the vlogging camera and how is peaples reaction when vlogging and shooting then on camera
Something is very wrong with Mt.Kenya leadership...even a town that is adjacent to the city like Thika...it shows no improvement despite having 10yrs of devolution..imagine if Kisumu was adjacent to Nairobi how Thika is...they could be competing in almost everything..
Don't be delulu.. any town near a city is disastrous coz there will be massive capital flight from the town to the city. Most of Kikuyu's money has capital flight from central to Nairobi and Nakuru leaving most of Central small towns with no Investments
@@ichooseviolence2532stop excuses mko down mbaya mbovu..karibu na Nairobi,3 presidents,kikuyus have been in charge of city hall till 2013 stealing public funds left right ND center and using the money to build useless weak rentals ND investing in bars ND alcohol..yet your towns are still worse ND backward than bungoma or vihiga😅😅😅
Thika inazidi kuparara 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣in worse condition than i left it more conjested hakuna hata traffic light moja imeundwa Wametowa ma nissan zote huko ni matuk tuk mabodaboda tu zinakwarusana na binadamu na hakuna lights tokeni thika town tupelekeni suburb yake huko kuna more order na si kiambiu 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Before people tell the meaning of a name they should enquire from the indigenous people. Thika in Kikuyu is not pronounced with an i but like a for ape. Thika river is mainly in Murang'a county and has that same name from source. The whitemen who founded the town gave it the name pronouncing it with an i. It has nothing to do with burying. I come near the source of the river
@@jamesokoth6655 it's not about power, it's about economics.. if Kisumu was near Nairobi it will suffer the same fate coz much of Luos money will go to invest in Nairobi leaving Kisumu more of just a residential place than a city
Thika my birth town, which has given me so much. Innocent youth spent with life time friends. Our evergreen talking point. Miss Thika all the time.
Thika is my birth town. We had a wonderful childhood there. I am quite amazed at how much Thika has developed.😀
Amazing job,however, I would be glad if you can do an highlight of Landless area located in the outskirts of Thika town.
Av not been in thika for two year good job dolphine it feel like am home
Big up @Dolphine 254 and thanks for coming to Thika.

Thika is like Mombasa is you have lived in Thika you get addicted to it.

Cleaner than Kigali!that's not true
Welcome brother!! Welcome

It used to be clean years back but I don't think like kigali

Gatumaini school and chania high school was where we were 6:26 educated.
Chania High class of 2017 Esse Quam Videri
I went to Gatumaini and Chania High School in Thika. I remember the bygone days with nostalgia.
Gatumain alumni here.
The areas mentioned are more of residential I guess gatumaini iko section estate 2 na chania pia
@@rajivthakur7319 I left in 1975 Gatumaini school to the UK.
Watching my home town all the way from South Africa.
Sadly, no much development since the last time I was there. Five years ago

Nice town
I love to visit Thika Town ie Makongeni by Steve Irungu Jermaine
Today, Thika and Nairobi is almost one city. Sometimes it's difficult to tell where Nairobi ends when leaving towards mt. Kenya .
I was looking for this comment. Thika is an extension of Nrb
Finally my residencial area
Thika is a developed town and is headed towards being a City good vlog
thick will never get city status. its a metro suburb of Nairobi
Some areas have been improved
Thanks for your feedback
to be honest, Thika looks much better than i thought.
good video last i was there they couldn't allow me to shoot inside the stadium
Wow,,now i can breathe ,,thanks for showing us thika town,,may Almighty bless the work of your work Madam D254❤

@@kingkevin442truthful talk central people can't be helped! Very disorganized and dirty
Kisumu surely is in another league
@@kingkevin442true ata Murang'a wameshindwa Na kutengeneza walilaniwa Na Nairobi look SK Jim nambaru PK wote Ni Wa Murang'a Na kunakaa ushago 😂😂
Thika town has not changed much since back in 80's very few house have been rebuilt and tuk tuks have replaced the 12 sitter face me mats.
Thika inazidi kuparara 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣in worse condition than i left it more conjested hakuna hata traffic light moja imeundwa
Wametowa ma nissan zote huko ni matuk tuk mabodaboda tu zinakwarusana na binadamu na hakuna lights tokeni thika town tupelekeni suburb yake huko kuna more order na si kiambiu

do a nice video of kisii town
Yes I will
Why so many billboards on the road

The Birmingham of Kenya
Central towns are poorly organized compared to other areas like western side of Kenya meaning rift valley, western and nyanza
Much of Kikuyu's money goes to Nairobi and Nakuru leaving central towns with little investors
@@ichooseviolence2532a very poor excuse for all the years they've enjoyed power, very pathetic indeed
@@jamesokoth6655 it's not about power, it's about economics.. if Kisumu was near Nairobi it will suffer the same fate coz much of Luos money will go to invest in Nairobi leaving Kisumu more of just a residential place than a city
@@ichooseviolence2532 that is stupid and doesn’t make sense
@@TiredKenyan knowledge and wisdom is not for everyone
Home far from home
My own observation is that Thika is bigger and more developed than Kisumu, Nakuru and even Eldoret
Are you sick my brother.... comparing Thika to kisumu😂
There is no town that beats thika with pork. None
Inaitwa pork town
Poko ama pork?
Thika never grows. There is much growth outside the town but nothing is happening within the CBD
Still more needs to be done
So dusty and chaotic and hasn’t changed much in 10 years
