I am a Christian, but only one thing makes me want to become a Muslim. HONESTY. The Somalis of Eastleigh are very honest
Most welcome
Am sure you'll never regret that decision. ❤️
Best Decision
Welcome brother. You won't be disappointed as you will find us people of good faith and strong foundation of principles and moral virtues.
try Buddhism.
This vlog is simply the best. I had so many questions about Eastleigh which have found their answers here. Let us appreciate our Somali brothers and sisters for developing this magnificent shopping city.
They are good fighters too. bomb master's.
What i appreciate is eastliegh was started as a refugee hub for somalis. But instead of the place being turned into a slum, the somalis turned it into one of the most successful business hubs in Africa. Show me anywhere in the world where refugees turned their settlement into such a luctrative hub. Am not sure whether its true but there are figues thrown around that the money floating around in eastliegh is 600m dollars a month. Not sure whether these figures are correct anyhow just look at the construction of new buildings coming up. You just dont build such without massive amount of money flowing into the place.
Thank you for your comment, Douglas.
Dude where did you get this from?.. Eastleigh was never a refugee camp. It was an area designated for Indians back in the day
Masha’Allah! This was an amazing segment. Much love and respect to my Somali brothers and sisters as well as my brothers and sisters in humanity.
One thing that stands out with Somali;arabs etc it's the unity they have as family or as a community and honesty in business they never try to outshine each other. And same with most of Indians family businesses thrive. Alot to learn from them
No fear they will manufacture ANYTHING.
Or as Jason Black puts it, they have a code of conduct and enforce the code. That's where it all starts.
The government should improve the infrastructure in Eastleigh
The government should invest a lot in terms of infrastructure cause they’re getting a junk of money through taxes.
All the respect and appreciation Mash" Allah to Ahmed Sheikh. Hope to meet you Sir, when I'll traveling soon to Kenya, especially since I'll be marrying my beautiful Arab-Somali Wife, (born in Kenya).
Eastleigh is the surest place in Nairobi.
I have been living since 2019, it is stable and cheaper than other markets you can get anything you want
The business of Eastleigh is based on the trust of each other and that's how they built a strong economy and reliable market.
Masha allah Somalians are very successful smart people let's keep doing brothers and sisters love From Dharjaale City Somalia
Masha Allah. Kenyan s and Somalis. We all know how good we are at business
Thanks for this valuable info. Thanks to Eastleigh business community leaders for their efforts.
Masha’Allah! May Allah continue to have Mercy on us, continue to Protect us, continue to Forgive us, continue to Guide us, and continue to Bless us.
This sustainable business system needs to be duplicated throughout Africa.
Now indulge the national and county governments on creating worldclass road networks, and pavements, great waste management systems and relocate the hawkers.
It was( kirimino) not to mention the famous the mother of all malls in Eastleigh..Garissa lodge which was the only one then..and focal point for all shoppers...otherwise the business community is doing great job where county and national govt has failed. including security, cleanliness, bearing in mind the huge taxes they collect in that small area.

OK. Hi, everyone!
This is Rafael and actually, I'd like to say that following into Business and management, this video it's a starting point for me, by when I'll be going to Kenya think also register our business company. Why?, Cuz actually what I found out and it's so important in business and development of any community, is the UNITY. So, I'd like to check on and possibly meet some of the Businessmen in this video to talk about. A wonderful Video and Documentary about the ES and Business in Nairobi.
Thanks, and see u soon!
Rafael,
I hope they improve cleanliness and infrastructure in Eastleigh..the place should look in a way like westlands
Trading is somali's DNA and long history of business transmitted from horn of africa to different locations in the world wide like old persions or indians
Eastleigh is blessed. Everybody gets his/her bread. The goverment should done it part, modernize sewage and clean roads etc.
Nice this is what I want to see.
That jam in eastleign is caused by people parking on the road.
Eastleign has no parking places and good roads but they pay big taxes
This vlog it’s well prepared thanks for u showing us the good side of Eastleigh
Masha'allaah tabaarakallaah
Eastleigh bussiness community chairman Mwalimu Ahmed Sheikh Abdullahi is a retired civil servant who served as a deputy Ps education and owmer of Yare Bussiness park.
Next time I see him lazima achote Kumbe Mzee is loaded! Qaranka bixi jale stop this siyaso Ingriis!
He is not doing a good job.
This is well done. Keep it going. That business community should lobby the govt to improve the infrastructure there. New sewer lines ought to be done projecting double the current residency rate. Pipe in more water, repair roads and clean up the area. KRA stands to benefit more as are ordinary folks. I haven't visited Eastleigh in 20+ years but will make a point to. Used to shop there back in my high school and Uni days.
Eastleigh is a blessed business African Village inside Kenya. The government should provide hygiene facility. Public toilets, sewage system, public clinics, etc.
I just subscribed to your channel and this was an amazing segment. Thank you!
Assalaamu Alaykum (Peace Be With You).
Waalaykum salaam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
If only Eastleigh had a modern infrastructure it could be the best place to do business after the CBD
It's already!
Thanks For Shareing Us This Valuable Information this Market You can Get every thing You want With acceptable Cost and Quality I want To give Advice for Nairobi Community Please Inspire for Those Peaple who is Doing This Amazing Work in order to become Energetic people
Abdul Karin, hope to meet u too.
Actullay Somalis from Somalia(Mogadishu proper) who immigrated to Kenya has started the big businesses in Eastleigh.
So Somali Kenyans don’t own anything? Bro don’t start divisive language
I knew someone like you couldn't be absent from the comments. Don't be ignorant my brother. A Somali is a Somali wherever we are.
@@mkenyamzalendo4130 why did Eastleigh only develop after Somalia collapsed?
The vast majority are from Somalia, that's not hate speech it's a fact
U got new sub keep shinning
We love 💕💕💕 Somali business
Congratulation to Somalia's in Eastleigh
Unless roads,garbage n filth smelly streets r fixed ..
It's impossible to come and shop without the chaos !!
U can do better.
I dnt smell amah ni kuzoea
Kenyan government never allow the business community to clean cause the see that will risk the town centre business
No MUZUNGU GO THERE.
Because somali are business people is evry where in the world
They not welcomed in the EUROPE.
Somalia are good business people but clanism has destroyed their country..if only they could do in Somalia or nfd what they did in eastleigh
You are right my brother and im somali
Muslim bussineses n families r growing big. Honesty
You don’t even have to be Muslim in Islii all you need to be is hardworking, honest and be able to mix with all sorts of people and you are a winner
@@bongasasa3895 is it easy to get a rental space eastleigh or pangani
@@johnmwangi8706 as you heard retail prices are high due to the umati on your door step! But if you look hard you will find a spot!
@@johnmwangi8706 you can't manage the rental money of islii
Ha ha ha so dishonest....
Somalis are very honest people.
Am a christian but i can assure you, myslims are more blessed people than us christians.
The Eastleigh business community need to be protected with all possible force of goverbment.
We christians should ve the first to ensure that our somali muslim brothers and sisters are safe.
I was in somaliland, the safest place on planet earth.
No one will bother you.
The reason is simple
Somalis are willing to spend and also huge help from Allah
1400 yrs backward.
@@tuforu4 look who's talking Irish the niggers of Europe.
Tell Ahmed Sheikh Abdullahi to spend and clean up Eastleigh. There are hundreds of millions if not billians of dollars in EastIeight but when you go it is very dirty. It is very shameful that they watch such a situation. Collect money from business, build the roads, clean the drains and build pavements and make the area a world class business district.
They pay tax to the government and this task is for Nairobi country.
Where can we buy tshirts (latest prints) in Eastleigh?
In any of the malls selling clothes....inside or outside the malls....
Ha ha ha ONLINE
Simple answer. Somalis 🇸🇴🔥
We don’t want Somalis to invest Kenya anymore, we want them to come back and invest their country. We invest Kenya enough not it is time to invest Mogadishu. Let Kenyan take those properties if they want
Yes the Somali citizens can go home if they want but I am a Somali Kenyan this is my country. You are talking about a tiny minority of Somalis in Eastliegh in fact all the speakers in this vlog have never seen Mogadishu they are former civil servants turned business men and politicians.
@@MohamedHassan-tk3ly you are a second class citizen, you are the poorest community in kenya, poorest infrastructure..before the Somalia Civil War and up until 1999, kikuyu made you belief you wiil not go to heaven if you didn't have kapande, yoi could not even in live towns like wajir let alone garrisa or Nairobi lmao..you probably are a bitter boran foo or some laangaab who wants to depend on the crumbs left by kamba and kikuyu what a low...eastleigh is a Somali from Somalia shop...there is no Somalo from garisa seen trading anywhere in the world lmao...is it the garrisa wajir xoolo taking over Johannesburg, minneapolis, Ankara? Ohh lmao...even as a livestock, you have cows instead of camels, yaab..waryaa you are taxed in your land by a kikuyu dynasty and your representation only was bit increased due to a Somalia somali presence...no adoon respected you, still respect you..instead of taking credit for an oppressed and occupied people's lack of progress compared to their other family you are xoolo
@@MohamedHassan-tk3ly incorrect he asked him how long has he been here and he said a long time meaning he’s not from Kenya, calm down fam. You are Somali too…. Don’t try to compete with ur fellow kin. Try to channel that energy to something lucrative
My friend refugees investment here in Eastleigh is less than 20%
Properties and money is own kenyan somalis
Please your free to recall refugees
We don't want them here .
Alshababs
@@adanali7889 are you Somali.?

Money is come from Alshabaab
