Just because we disagree with the West in Principle doesn't mean we are behind.. They should respect our values and ideals here...
Thank you. I love being behind when it comes to some matters as such. I think Europe is behind
The homophobia issue was actually brought by european
We don't need to respect your values. They are your values. But neither do you need to respect ours.
Homofobia is truly regrettable
Exactly , her smug attitude is typical of many a Western leftist , she fails to mention that the plastic ban ban was one of the 1st in the World making Kenya a LEADER !
Very nice video and informative👍🏽 but the comment about us being behind because of homosexuality laws is something I disagree, we as Kenyans have a different perspective on the issue.
Can you elaborate more about your perspective?
Simple: don’t smoke. Smoking is bad for you.
Being against homosexuality is not backwardness. Kenya is a majority Christian country & the Bible calls homosexuality an abomination. So, Sinja we are simply a good people who hates what God hates. We cannot allow sin to thrive in our midst & disobey God. Period !!
Even China, korea, Russia don't allow homosexuality,does it mean they are backward?
This lady has to style up
Well said. I think homosexuals are more backwards, engaging in an act that even animals cannot...
Agreed 💯
Just curious, nothing about homosexuality but about Christianity, what was the original religion of Kenyans before western invasion and conversion to Christianity. Are there people who still believe in their own god other than the tribals.
What moral authority do you have to set standard and say illegalizing homosexuality is being backward! This is Kenya and we have our set of values. If you are not comfortable you don't come to Kenya period
Hi Sinja, minor correction - these are the streets of Ruaka, Kiambu not Nairobi
Indeed. Still wanted to say Nairobi :)
@@KenyaTravelSecrets Yes, but you need to say the exact place.
@@KenyaTravelSecrets don t speek about us you don t speek about Somali poeple and mira
@@augustustheemperor3335 shut up you eat miraa like goats.. and beside most of you are Shababs no apologies
@@KenyaTravelSecrets hi dear you are doing very well.congratulations
Learning foreign languages is amazing. Immersive translate can work for you as it did for me
Being homosexual is not illegal in Kenya. There are many Kenyans who are homosexual. What's illegal is homosexual sex. It's a law that is a vestige of the colonial English laws that were never repealed. The law is however never enforced. I'm yet to hear of a case where someone was charged for being gay. It never happens. There's no Kenyan who has had to go through what Alan Turing went through in England. If there is, someone please let me know. So why is it still in our books? To make a point that it's not our culture. Simple as that. No one is going around the streets hunting for homosexuals. After all Kenya isn't Afghanistan. Cheers!
Its illegal
@@kipkew78 Please state the law; Section and subsection please
@@sir-me1716 You just proved me right. There’s no law against homosexuality but against homosexual sex. You do know a person can be homosexual without having sex right? Try again.
Sodomy is illegal but not homosexuality.
And noone is ever taken to court if it's consensual sex.
Maintaining your morals and principles is not being 'behind'
Sinja some European countries are rethinking of banning homosexuality inorder to safe guard family values in their countries there in Europe. Do you think they want to be behind??
yes.
Where did you find that information? 😂
@@lanialis9146 hungry, slovakia, Serbia and many more... Look very few people wants to be homosexuals, Germans are trying their best to be homosexuals because they want to be like Americans🤣
@@lanialis9146 we are sorry flagwavers if that offended you. Of cause you know it all.
The homosexual laws , like most others laws in kenya were established by the European colonialist after deeming our previous waybof life as primitive. Its ironic that they are now the same people condemning kenya and other African countries for having these laws and calling us primitive again. Its time they left Africans to make their own changes at their own pace .
Good job tho, as usual 👏
Buut you have FMG as NORMAL in KENYA
@@tuforu4 FMG is not normal in kenya. Its even illegal. Do some research before you spread misinformation
@@poja101 its a big problem we see on CITIZEN tv news. Tell them.
@@poja101 you got high HIV RATES THERE...
We have no apologies to make about homosexuality, if its not our culture we don't have to a similar culture to be seen as civilised, and no one has a right to impose their 'values' on us, they should respect our culture as we respect others.
You are doing a good job but sorry I must differ with you on the point of homosexuality. If you claim we are behind because we don't allow it, well and good. Our cultures are different, we are a different society.
Discriminization ist Culture
I was expecting her to highlight the illegality of plastic bags
She did
In Kenya, smoking on the street is generally allowed unless it falls within certain restricted areas. According to the Tobacco Control Act, 2007
But most of those places are restricted areas or other people will get offended if you do. In short, it's safe to say, do not smoke in public unless it's written, smoking zone.
We are not behind about homosexuals we just don't agree about it on out norms and rules in society.
Discrimination is nothing people can agree or disagree on. It is discrimination and therefore wrong
@@vivigoesusait's a morality issue. Not a discrimination issue. The people decide what's moral and what's not here in Kenya, just as is the case in most civilised societies. As utilitarians, Kenyans agree know you cannot score through a backpass. You must shoot forward, to the actual goal...making backpasses counterproductive
And why is polygamy illegal in Europe and U.S.A and homosexuality is legal? We don't want western values please...You people have to style up..
The highest degree of western hypocrisy. That we all should perceive their culture as the SI unit of all other cultures. They should understand we are different and diverse and that whatever they practice does not necessarily have to be practiced by everyone in the world.
@@kipkew78 yes lol, this western people think African is their playing ground..we are in 2022 this Europeans need to grow up and leave us alone..why can't they go to China and Russia to talk about homosexuality? I am very sure they will be jailed if they do so.
I don't understand how pornography is legal in America, but prostitution isn't. Isn't pornography prostitution?
Western Society is Condemned by Itself.
Nothing New from Western Society and Freedoms .They try to Promote all Evil and Devils 😈 Systems in Africa 🌍 by the Name of Democracy =Devils Rule.
Africa we Follow Religion from Almighty God 😊.
Leave US Alone please.
Mzungu Shetani 😢. 😂😅.
Love the updates and information!! Thanks for sharing.
That's not the city
you say "we are still behind in Kenya" , you and who? ' .we don't know you
Nice sinja good explanation thank you 🇰🇪
Sinja es ist ganz einfach "Andere Länder,andere Sitten" translated into English means "Other countries,other customs."🤷🏽♀️
Very true
Why are you doing a vlog in these low low income areas? Go to upper hill , kilimani, westalnds, kileleshwa, runda and Karen if you don't have an agenda.
You GENIUS i bet and well travelled.
She wants to throw a shade on us 😕
They're still part of the city, what's ur problem
@@poja101 yep we love eastleighs...
@@poja101 but what about muzungu TOURISTS.
Generally women in Kenya don't smoke. But there are some Kenyan communities that allow women smoke e.g The Wangas from Mumias in Western Kenya. Even Old women there smoke openly.
😂😂 Wacha kutuonea. Ati wangas.
The place you are at is not Nairobi city,its outcast of Nairobi
So being homosexual is being ahead, you need prayers, it's evil, we're, would you have been born if your parents were homosexual
Am shocked how the Westerners think their culture is so superior to every other culture. if homosexuality works for them it doesn't necessarily mean it should work for us, no one should impose their values on others, respect. This is why the west argue that homosexuality is a human right but polygamy is primitivity.
Very informative, thank you. I didn't know about smoking on the streets. My friend from Serbia is going to visit Kenya. And the Serbs smoke a lot. I can tell him about the ban!
As a European, I like the soft ban on homosexuality in Kenya. In some countries of the West LGBT propaganda is so widespread that I dislike it.
So happy smoking is illegal like that.
Always on time
Keep going girl.
Miraa is common in Western countries with a Somali Diaspora, they call it khat.
Yikes tough crowd. I’m learning here that as a foreigner it would be a big mistake to express any type of criticism. It’s the best policy to keep those to yourself while you are a guest in their country.
There were a few things I didn’t know. Thank you.
Love the smoke law! Why spread that to others who live a healthy life!
Kenya is behind, falling behind, being
too busy moving forwards.
"Righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach." - Bible
Just as it's done in most of the EU nations, is it common for the Police to randomly stop foreigners and ask them for their legal documents?
I just want to say that Mira is something to get high but I just want to let you know that Muslim don't use that it's considered prohibited in Islam to use or consume Mira but people are people and some people do use it and its wrong
Do you know what a main street in Nairobi looks like?
Exactly my reaction
Trust me she does...but the video would not have sold
She's Showing Nairobi in a very negative way as if Nairobi in Kenya is very far behind in terms of Infrastructure and development. Silly Woman. Please take your Views and negative feedback to the Western society either to Europe or other places not in Africa.
Silly Mzungu.
Around CBD there are designated places (smoking zones)
Why you think Kenya is behind because it doesn’t allow Homosexual?? If is Kenyan don’t want homosexuality is Kenyans choice, is not what the west do Kenyans do.
Great informative video.
Africa is more serious in religious matters and culture,if we don't allow homosexuality it's our way,..we don't have to copy every western culture
They have VOODOOO.
Very true
Am moving to kenya 2moro 😮 how can we talk
You're not in Nairobi madam your in kiambuu but not Nairobi
Good job Sinja. ❤️❤️
Anasema ati usagaji NI maedeleo
What do you mean we are behind? Behind on what exactly? We are not following you on this. We are in a totally different direction. Respect up !
Main Street in which Nairobi?!!🤔
Hello. We need timestamps 💯
okay was there no other place to film
Thank you, this was good
We keep our morels we're not behind..
Yes and better moral as most mzungus, that i observed long time
Not embracing homosexcuality is not "being behind". It's just that they don't embrace it
hiiii, im traveling to Kenya soon
Great content and great accent too. I ❤ ur accent.
Can I carry ziploc plastic bags in my luggage? I usually pack my shoes, camera, spillables, dirty clothes in ziplocs. I always reuse them but will the airport authority allow?
Probably best to carry them in checked luggage with some type of liquid inside. And should not be too big ones. They are also available for purchase in most supermarkets here as well.
@@dhruvgalaiya8766 thanks for the advice!! That definitely puts my mind at ease.
The issue of homosexuality just like prostitution is a tricky one;it neither legal nor illegal.Please note that no one has ever been arrested for engaging in any of the above.
How’s this a Main Street in Kenya, Nairobi?
Dear lord, Nairobi has very beautiful streets, not this rag tag place you cal a street
This is not in the capital 😂 it's outside the city or it's perifery
Of all the places hapo ndo amechagua white people though
Behind in Kenya? due to Homosexuality. That's means we are not heading to the same direction.
Please define, contrast, and elaborate "a little bit behind" as compared to?
I plan to travel to Kenya. Can you help?
Yes I can. Please fill this form bit.ly/Kenya-trip-planner
So if homosexuality is legalized we will be ahead?😂😂smh ahead in what exactly, and why is homosexuality being forced on Africans 💁
I wonder what streets of the capital you were filming on😠😠😠
Contagious laughter. Nice
Homosexuality being illegal isn't backwardness. Why should it be legal?
Love your content though. Nzuri kushinda zingine
Because it is discriminating human beings that can’t change the way they are
@@vivigoesusa no one is inclined to like you whether you're straight or otherwise. People don't need to be forced to like something they're not comfortable with.
@@i-deegamingvideos6016 exactly you’re not being forced to like something. Your just supposed to show common decency and allow people to live their true self without being criminally persecuted.
From your logic it would also be ok to forbid heterosexual behaviors since and I quote: „no one is inclined to like you wether you are STRAIGHT or not“
@@vivigoesusa as I said. One has a right not to like anty people he/she chooses, whether gay or not.
love your work dear
Where in Kenya are you where it is illegal to smoke in public and more so women?
Hujui ni illegal?
of coz its illegal and you will be fined 50k
Ona huyu .....you live in kenya and youre ignorant
Everywhere since passive smokers get more affected than the direct smokers
Elly you are in kenya and you have no idea really?
The fact that it's illegal means we are backwards? Wow
That's where you know, English isn't a mother tongue to all
Thanks ❤️
@sonyA ....good job...keep it up, 💕 it.....(Kenya milele)
Why is Kenya behind? It is a Christian country. If you go to other countries in the middle east, even walking and behaving like you do in the video, you will get arrested for a long time and serving a huge penalty if you lucky, othervise could be capital punishment.I do not mind your video, but do not judge with lack of knowledge please.
Ppl a always behind when they don't agree with your lifestyle smh every country have rules Germany too
It's the dronnes part. If your found drones without permit, you better have 1 million kes
Hello there. I have seen many of your videos. They are informative.😊 can you please suggest me some budget hotels to stay at Nirobi or safe area there
Important information.
Would like to collaborate with you for a video one day.
Sure; why not. Just write an email to travelwithsinja@gmail.com
Jaba tamu? Where is that from.
I hope someday Kenya will have clean and beautiful neighborhoods like other decent countries like Singapore. Every town in Kenya looks like a slum, unplanned, untidy, dusty, muddy. It's embarrassing.
You are from Germany
She's from the Village as well.
Looks like that from her comments.
Silly German Mzungu.
Welcome to Kenya 🇰🇪💪
😢no and never to homosexuality and its axis
Good explained
Good video, by the way, what neighbourhood is that?
Ruaka.
Definitely not Nairobi though it's Kenya
Not accepting Homosexuality is not being behind. It's a belief and people should respect other people's beliefs and cultures and not try to impose on them one's
belief and lifestyle.
Mammy all those things you have mentioned they are done here in Kenya but they are one under water
Just pda isn't a thing in Africa regardless of your sexuality
i agree with all ur points but , i hate the fact that u have to carry a passport with u all the time, i find that stupid and the goverment must remove this imediately, it gives the cops away to hussle tourists for bribes
Not true. U need only a copy of ur passport with ur copied visa. Iam in kenya 16 years with a permanent visa. So?
@@gabistan2007 I WAS BORN IN KENYA , I LIVE IN EUROPE NOW ,BUT THE COPS IN KENYA ALWAYS ASK FOR BRIBES, IF U FORGET UR PASSPORT AT THE HOTEL AND WALKING DOWN THE STREET BE READY TO PAY BRIBES, THE COPS ARE NOT INTREASTED IN IF U HAVE A PASSPORT OR NOT , IT ABOUT THE BRIBES, GREEDY PIGS
Try to visit malindi
About homosexuality its just disguising. We rather remain behind than be seen advanced for allowing homosexuality. I didn't know allowing homosexuality is being advanced.
These are lies y'all 😂😂since when is smoking in public illegal
huku ni kenya
Point of correction. Being against homosexuality is not being behind. It is very wrong to say that Kenya is behind just because they are against homosexuality. Kenyans know that it is immoral. Kenyans value morality
Even abortion is illegal and of coz a sin.
Drone,camera (photography) to official residence it's coz of attacks by alshaabab(terrorist). Kindly explain these reasons
I was going too make the same comment.
But you did it for me.
So we're behind for not caring and agreeing on west's behaviours of lgbtq staffs...yu are the one who is behind
These are not the streets of Nairobi!what a lie..fake!!
Hi Senja, what about electronic cigarette? Is it ok? Tolerate or considered as a classic cigarette ? Thanks
I assume electronic cigarette is considered as classic cigarette here and only allowed to smoke in private
@@KenyaTravelSecrets ok thanks for your answer🙏
You can actually smoke cigarettes anywhere , expect public transport, supermarkets , and mostly in Town were there are many people
Electronic cigarette is illegal too
@@GamechangerEduservices23 stop lying its legal, its even sold in JUmia and many vendors
Where are you from?
Definitely not from an English speaking country...cause what is legal and illegal are self explanatory in English...sorry am out!
Hi sinja
Can we inbox
Your videos are good, however you have loads of inaccuracies. On one video you mentioned how you lost 200 Euros from a crooked real estate agent. Although that was unfortunate, remember that there are crooks all over the world. My Mom lost 30,000 EUR from a shoe exporter in Frankfurt, who showed nice shoes on the internet. We even visited his office in Offenbach, and as soon as my mother wired him the money, he disappeared.
