    Did a desire to relocate to Kenya spark in you after watching this video? ✨😄

    Kenyans are welcoming thou not perfect but I have lived in foreign land where I was treated badly, yet I was financial okey, due to my beautiful and special black colour. I love being black and very proud of it

    Rain is considered a blessing because blessing a large percentage of Kenyans are farmers and they depend on rain to grow food. Everyone suffers when there is no rains because food is expensive so they don't mind the inconvenience it brings and are thankful for it.

    You experienced the African Spirit, the Spirit of Ubuntu. It's woven into our DNA
    1. Earn your living
    2. Children are a blessing
    3. Rain is a blessing
    4. Community is wealth
    5. Challenges are essential for growth
    6. Comfort is the enemy of progress
    7. Do no harm
    8. Respect is earned (we respect Nigerians)
    9. Own up to your shortcomings (we have bad habits amongst us)
    10. Revere the great mother, the guardian of the masculine (we embrace the feminine)
    And so own and so forth

    • @ainoluo
      @ainoluo  Год назад

    • @ainoluo
      @ainoluo  Год назад

      To clarify, perhaps I should mention that with hardships I didn’t mean just poverty. There are so many other types of hardships that a family may go through and in those moments I feel the strength of the unit is tested. And I’ve seen families in every country I have been to either grow closer or become more distant in those moments. If anything is universal I think it’s family issues 😄

On your next video, but remember to address your videos as Nairobi and not Kenya as a whole, because Nairobi is the Capital City and you can't even compare it to other Cities in Kenya, it's the MOST stressful City in Kenya! Try getting out of Nairobi and into other Cities and you'll see the difference! Next time you visit Kenya i suggest you visit Diani, and seeing your Name, Visit Kisumu City then let someone take you to any village in that County! Enjoy the huge difference!❤
