Single plastic use bags were banned in 2017. It is illegal and carries a fine of between 2-4 million Kenya shillings that is 6-13 million naira or a jail term of 1-2 years or both.
@@martinmwangi5092 - That's too extreme bit I guess "Saving the ENVIRONMENT " has to Start from somewhere even that Small. 🙏
You know single use plastic bags can get u arrested cuz they are very conscious about the environment
New sub
Plastic bags were completely banned for sure.
In Kenya, you dont just cut trees You must obtain permission from the Assistant Chief even if it is in your own farm.
As a Kenyan, I'm glad to hear a lot of positivity from our Nigerian sister.
Africa unite 💪🏾
My Immediate place of Refresment in london is owned by GHANAIN also a Lecturer they have Respect.

As a Kenyan I would love to marry from Uganda your women are top notch 😉
The security is high at the entrance because of past experiences of bombing at the airport..... Now it's very safe❤️🇰🇪 welcome to our beautiful country any time loves❤️❤️🇰🇪🇰🇪
As a Kenyan im also shocked that y'all pay rent annually😊. Im tryna imagine if same applied here. Its jus expensive af over here. Buh I'd love Nigerians and Nigeria too❤
True...
Rent maybe expensive in Nigeria especially if you plan to move alot..!!
Beautiful Kenya - my birthplace. Aussie 🇦🇺 here - with it’s altitude Nairobi has perfect climate - best coffee, best tea, great ‘forward looking’ people, RVP taxis, photographer’s paradise - many happy memories of growing up there in the 60’s and 70’s when JK was 1st President.
Oh how interesting!
I’m Kenyan born in Australia:) cheers mate!
You must have had the Best of both worlds.I can just imagine how lovely Nairobi was back then with systems functioning and no congestion, with intact greenery and lots of Wild Game😅
As a Kenyan am also shocked that you guys pay rent annually.😁 I'm loving your content. 😎✌🏾
Right? 😁😁 That's why it's a culture shock. It's beautiful learning about how things are done in different countries. It's also very fascinating if it's different from what we are used to. I'm glad you love the content. ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for watching
Wow I can imagine how it can be difficult for a new young employee trying to get a one year rent when he secured his or her first job
Me too.

Hi Vera,
Thank you for visiting our country kenya,
Kenyans are your cousins, and they love visitors.
In Kenya we use reusable bags in the whole country. Using plastic bags can send you to prison for some years.
Another is about security in the airport, due to incidents of terrorism in the country, like the one we had in Westgate mall where many people died,security is tight in mos areas in Kenya,
You had to leave the vehicle so that it can go through scanning machines to prevent bombs being sneaked inside the airport premises. All in all it is meant to protect you.
We look forward to welcome you again.
Thank you so much for your response. I've really learnt a lot and I look forward to visiting again. ❤️❤️❤️
I love paying my rent monthly
I feel like it's more efficient 😂
I can't imagine paying my rent yearly and need to move out after a week😂😂😂
Feeling so emotional hearing you say such beautiful things about Kenya. As an African, I'm proud of them.... ❤❤❤
❤
Tree is a culture!! Every kenyan has a grown tree somewhere he/ she planted either in school, church, farm or at grandmas.....Tree and soil is life to us!
As a Kenyan who recently came to Nigeria, I was equally shocked. I'm now motivated to do a video on my culture shocks in Naija.
I eventually got to do my video. All credit goes to you Vera for the motivation
Wao, so you guys switch places 😂. Share a link to your video ❤
Do it! Cause people out kuongea mingi.

We're Kenyans and Kenya 🇰🇪 is our business
Kenyans are friendly and nice as per the rest of the world but our neighbours ( Ugandans and Tanzanians) think we're very rude😂
Faaaaaaaacts, faaaaaacts bro😂
Yes, Kenyans are so welcoming, friendly, ready to assist. I always feel at home in Kenya. And the people are sooooo hardwooooorking🙆♂️🙆♂️ i love the fact that i can buy stuff at anytime as most businesses close late, and i can go as early as i 05 and still find some businesses open🙌
Lovely people ❤
I hope you hopped onto those big buses in Nairobi the music mehn!!😂 when you get off the bus, you're slightly confused and partial deaf😂😂
*As a Kenyan i don't remember the last time i held cash in my hands, i use mobile transaction in everything.
-We don't use plastic bags in Kenya
About the rent its always monthly but depends on your flexibility, someone can pay 3-12 months ahead, some can pay twice monthly as in ½/½ , it basically depends with you so long as at the end of the month you'd have done your payments.
Thanks so much for sharing. ❤️❤️ I particularly love the cashless policy.
😂😂 so true. I'm Ugandan but I've been in Kenya for 5years now. I'm so used to mobile transaction (mpesa and use of my card) and I feel weird when I travel back home and I have to be with cash. 😂😂 But that's life
@@majestymaurice3239 lol
Culture shock😂😂😂😂
Cash transactions are unhygienic.
Vera, it is nice to watch your review. Plastic bags were banned a couple of years ago in Kenya so we have gotten used to using Reusable bags. The annual payment of rent isn't a thing here coz some people might wish to move out before the year elapses. Most Kenyans are naturally kind and welcome again ❤
They were banned in 2017, 6 years ago

You would fit into Kenya like lock and Key, you should consider moving here permanently. There is an entire part of Nairobi dedicated for Nigerians. That's how much you are loved here in Kenya
You've won a new subscriber from Hargeisa, Somaliland. I left Kenya in 2004. Nairobi today is unrecognisable due to the massive development of infrastructure. Needless to say, Nairobi is the only city in the world with a national wildlife park.
You've said it all. The development in the city speaks for itself. ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much for subscribing.
I didn't know that
Just some random info , my cousins dad who is somali isaaq used to work at the Nairobi National Park , they actually lived inside the national park in the late 70s and early 80s .
Kenya is a great and organized nation, sending love from Biafra.
It really is. ❤️

Great Ghana
The policemen were paid actors😂.Anyway all the positivity actually makes me see how blessed we are as Kenyans.Problem is we have PHD's in complaining😂😂😂..great video.
Go find Police paid actors except on Holllywood
The security check outside the airport gate makes sense to me because not everyone that gets into the compound is traveling.
That's totally true.
So many positives things about Kenya. One striking observation is on environmental conservation. Trees, reusable bags, parks and "niceness" of Kenyans
Excellent job! I'm delighted to hear that you chose to explore Kenya. Ensuring airport security is an utmost priority due to past incidents of terrorist attacks in different parts of Kenya, making it crucial to safeguard both our citizens and visiting tourists.
In Kenya, you can pay rent for the whole year, six months, or even 3 or 2 months if you want to. Kenyans are very particular, they will move to different apartments depending on the cost, accessibility, amenities provided, and proximity to social areas and workplace. New apartments keep coming up everywhere offering different tastes and experiences.
That's cool then. ❤️

Pls what is the cost of an apartment in Kenya I am looking forward to relocating to Kenya.
Karibu Tena. We have a strong tourist culture in Kenya but what we didn't have is our brothers and sisters across the continent being regular visitors. It is great to see that becoming a thing now and I hope it gets easier for Africans to visit African countries so we can get to see our continent. Great job on your presentation. You write and speak well.
i love kenya visit ethiopia also We are friendly and you gonna love it
I would absolutely love to. Ethiopia is on my list of countries to visit. Thank you so much for watching. ❤️❤️
3 days ago the minister of education said schools will be ranked based on the number of trees in their compound. Rent in Kenya you cannot afford to pay a year in advance. An ordinary 2 bedroom house is $200 per month. Who can give $2400 in advance? Plastic bags were banned. You always carry a shopping bag or buy one that is biodegradable as you shop which can be an expensive habit
Hey.. We Kenyans are hospitable people, its part n parcel of our culture. Planting trees is also instilled right away from primary school so its purposely done.
Security checks; We've really suffered as a country bcoz of our hospitality by way of terrorists attacks/ bombs etc and so Kenyan governments have really invested in security across the country.. Its a pity you didn't stay for a longer period of time.. You'd have realised Kenyans Loooove their country.
Thanks so much for your response. ❤️ I plan on staying longer next time. 😁
You are welcome again, love you so much
Am a Kenyan and I'll visit Nigeria soon,i love Nigeria its representing Africa in many global stages,entertainment and sports.Kudos Nigeria
Kenya banned the use of plastic bags and only use recyclable bags or biodigestable bags.
Awesome! ❤️❤️
I ain't bragging but Kenyans love kind, caring and loving people naturally. A lovely lady like u they can take a bullet for u for appreciating and respcting them. You can tell on the comment section how much they love u for free❤❤
Single use plastic bags are completely illegal throughout Kenya. Being caught with one carries a seven year jail term
Woah! 😮 7 years. 😮
You just pay $1 to the police if caught that's it
@@saidibrahim5931 when did you last see the polythene paper bags anywhere? You don't have to malign the name of the police just so that you be seen to be saying something
We can't even remember how the plastic bags looked like
@@huututu Yes I agree with you, some people they bring it from Uganda, but instead of spending years in Prison for a small mistake just pay the police like you do when they catch you after 12am(saa mbaya)
@@saidibrahim5931 so when they bring them from Uganda where exactly do they use them because we don't get to see them? I for one can't even remember how a paper bag looked like
Karibu Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪
Land of peace and unity, the pride of Africa. Kenya has a lot to offer in tourism e.g Nairobi is the only capital city in the world with a game pack on it 🎉
Airport security check: To get category 1 status to enable direct flights to the US from JKIA, certain security measures had to be taken given the airport is situated in a region known for terror attacks. Security is taken rather seriously everywhere. Almost all properties have guards and scanners everywhere.
It's really good that these measures are put in place for safety.
yeah but the gate security check is unique to us. i dont know anywhere else that does that. passengers coming out at the gate. ethiopiadont do that and they have category 1 and are just north of us with similar issues with somalia
Talk nice about Kenya, get subscription and likes to your channel like wooooow....Karibu kenya
Asante Sana. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Vera, UA-cam recommended this video to me. Maybe because I'm Kenyan 😊. Thank you for acknowledging my country Kenya. I laughed when you said that you went straight to the driver's seat anf presumed it to be the passenger's seat. I'm honestly surprised as well that the steering is on the left hand side in Nigerian vehicles. I didn't know. You earned yourself a brand new subscriber from Kenya. Karibu tena Kenya. I hope you picked a few words in Swahili😊
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing too. I'm glad you've learnt something new about Nigeria too. 😁😁 That's the beauty of sharing experiences like this one.
I had a wonderful time in your country and hope to visit again. Asante Sana ❤️❤️😁😁.
Even in rural areas mpesa rules.. funfact: mobile money wa invented in Kenya as a way for city dwellers to send money to families in villages upcountry. Honestly I can't remember when i last had cash on me.. I only use mpesa
That's cool. ❤️❤️
For the security at first Entrance, my guess is you would better neutralise any threat outside the Airport than manage it inside the Airport, Great review❤
My sister you are such a sweetheart beautiful gorgeous you spoke well that’s why Kenyan love Nigerian Kenya welcome you with a open arms come back again and again hakuna matata bye❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great observations! Karibu Kenya. Watching from Canada. Next time stay longer in Nairobi to experience its fullness. Then head to the Mara, Amboseli and the Coast. You will appreciate more the beauty of Kanya.
Asante Sana. & thank you so much for watching. I sure will stay longer next time. I have to. 😁
As an aged person i dont ever recall ever paying rent annually. Its never happened in Kenya. We get paid monthly and thereofe budget our expenses on a monthly basis. Its the norm here. Also our rent is on the higher side. An annual rental may seem overwhelming for most of us. Also what happens if you want to leave mid year, do you forego your rent for the remaining part of the year? In terms of plastic bags we havent used those for years throughout the country. We have also gone cashless though you can still use money but not so frequent
You are adorable in your presentation, very fair and open to learning. I never knew your channel but today I become your number 1 subscriber. I am a Kenyan and love Nigeria especially Yemi Alade, Ayrr Star, Chidinma music
Thank you so much for the kind words, and thank you for subscribing ❤️❤️. Yes!!!! I actually love their music too. Afrobeats is a vibe, always. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Cops do that to ensure you know about your channel and not faking it. This is refreshing to see someone praising our hood.
Yeah, sure thing. It's their job to interrogate foreigners. I just loved their friendly approach to it. ❤️❤️ I'm glad you love the video. 😁
Hi Vera
Karibu tena(Welcome back) to Kenya, you are our brethren. Naija movies are always loved in our country; they are always played in our local TV stations.
Kenya's geolocation is very unique in that most of our neighbours are not politically stable or are in war. We have also been victims of terrorist attacks and with that we take our security very seriously especially in places that may be targets e.g.Malls, Airports, Government buildings etc...hence the reason for the extra security measures. Plastic bags are actually prohibited.
Wow Kenya looks beautiful ❤️
It really is beautiful. ❤️❤️
Thank you Vera for your very interesting video on your culture shock for Kenya. Nigerians visiting Kenya often picks out these other culture shocks: 1. No generators being used for electricity, 2. Robust and varied public transport - with the Matatu mini buses standing out coz of the grafitti and loud music 3. Fast and cheap wifi - even free wifi in public spaces (Hotels, SOme Public trasport etc).....
After I visited kenya I just feel like Nigeria is so behind and we are just called giant of Africa but yet haven’t gone half of how kenya has improved in many ways
It's because Kenya has changed its constitution to have more voices on the decision table, and guarantees that our voices are heard. We have to have public participation before any policy change or implementation, if not that policy is illegal and unconstitutional. We listen to women, youth, marginalized rural communities, business leaders, religious leaders, professionals; everyone.
Kenya also have a somewhat working justice system. So we solve our disputes amicably through the courts, and everyone gets justice. So less likely for people to engage in war.
Thanks for visiting Nairobi, Kenya, Vera Frank. However, you cannot explore Nairobi adequately in a few days. Prepare to stay for at least a month next time for more fun, cultural experiences & diverse tourist attractions. Welcome Home.
Yeah, sure thing 😁. I'll be back certainly, & hopefully stay for a longer time. ❤️
Secondly Rwanda is the first country in East Africa to ban common use of plastics as they were an environmental eye sore. Kenya followed suit and that has greatly improved our environment. Thirdly, we host the United Nations Environment HQ here in Nairobi Kenya and its important that we take the lead in making the world 🌍 go green and this is why you see trees all over Nairobi Kenya
In Kenya we are taught about etiquette and our parents ensured that we behave well and with that we grew up respecting people around us, incase you need to speak to a stranger, we do refer to them as bro or siz as a sign of respect. we also need to say hi before we ask for something from anyone especially the elder ones.
It’s pretty much the same thing here.
SMH! Uongo!!
@@somina4003 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I think boarding schls also have alot to do with this
Eye opener to me as a Kenyan that there's alot of good in my country.
Absolutely. There is. ❤️❤️❤️
Vera, ur eloquence is surprising from nigerian people. Most of nigerian get remarkable english accent. So delighted to learn much about kenya. I wish i had visited Kenya on my way to South africa in the past years
The friendly police aspect in my opinion and as you rightly put it is the fact that Kenya being a touristic hotspot, people skills are very vital even by the police.
Granted, police everywhere don't have a good reputation even in Kenya.
The Kenya Police Service is subdivided into several units to handle different aspects of human interactions. Apart from the general patrol and traffic police units, there are; Tourism Police, Diplomatic Police, Airport Police,Railway Police, Port Police Units with specialized skills to cater to those segments of society and operations.
As such, you are likely to encounter more friendlier police at the airport unit than may be those from the traffic unit for obvious reasons.
This explanation totally makes sense. I still applaud the Airport police for doing their job well. They honestly made me feel safe. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Welcome back to Kenya and sample our countryside to see our massive tea farms, wildlife, amazing landscape especially the great Rift Valley and Mt Kenya. You've just earned a new subscriber
Why the "air quotes" though! Kenya is truly a tourism hub ... Great content 🤩🤩
It's because we have other bigger tourism hubs in Africa like Egypt, Morocco, South Africa, Tanzania, Namibia, etc. that receive more tourists than Kenya.
For me, it's the numerous things we take for granted. The number of trees we have cut down in Nairobi. You learn new things everyday....rent yearly for example. Maybe, just maybe I would feel robbed paying rent yearly owing to the amount.
I officially subscribe to this channel due to your honesty,I am a Kenyan
Thank you so much for subscribing. ❤️❤️❤️
Welcome to my channel & thanks for watching 😘. Where are you watching from? I’d love to know. 😁

Wow! Thank you for visiting our country and welcome again!
Hearing someone speak so positively of my country almost made me emotional!
We are a great country and we will keep rising higher and higher.
The extra security measures were necessitated by the heinous acts of terrorism that we had faced in the past.
We use reusable non-plastic bags as the plastic bags are prohibited by our National Environment Management Authority (NEMA); it is actually a offense worth prosecution in court which could attract a hefty penalty/fine.
I am shocked that you guys in Nigeria pay rent annually! Wow!
Karibu Kenya. Normally we pay rent monthly but we can pay a few months/years upfront if we so desire.
Plastic bags were banned a few years ago for environmental considerations.
Going cashless especially while dealing with the government is in a bid to fight corruption since the money trail can easily be tracked.
.
Asante Sana. ❤️ These actually make sense especially the "going cashless" to curb corruption. Honestly, I love the systems put in place to make Kenya a better society. 👍
Thanks so much for sharing so much +ve about our country. Be blessed.
About the "going cashless" Kenya is not thinking of going cashless, we have been cashless formore than a decade and everyone here accepts mobile money including the government. Paying rent monthly is advantageous because you can only judge an estate/house and its management after living in it for a few months, also you might get a new job in a different city or theft can occur in the house/area forcing you to move; monthly payments make it flexible for any such unforeseen situations, but you can still pay annually if you so wish... great video non-the-less :)
Since 2005
The cashless part is one of the most impressive ones. Thank you so much for your feedback, Jackson. ❤️ and thanks you for the kind words. ❤️
Since 2008
This is a beautiful vedio about my home country ❤🇰🇪😘
I'm glad you like it. ❤️❤️❤️
It will be nice to input cost of trips in these videos as well. I schooled in Nairobi and i must say its a beautiful place with beautiful weather.
Yes, sure thing. I plan on doing a separate video for that. & yes, Nairobi is really beautiful. ❤️
If you want to enjoy the Nairobi national park you need to get there early before the sun rises, the variety of animals is insane
Yeah. I learnt that. I went late because my flight just got into Kenya that same morning. Next time, I'll plan better. Thanks so much for watching. ❤️
In Kenya you can pay rent for one, two, three or six or one year depending on your financial ability. Some do default and pay after the fact.
As to why we have security check outside the Airport ask Al Shabab
Just earned a new sub..😊💜we always feel wow when our country is being appreciated..welcome more🥰
Thank you so much for subscribing, and I'm happy you like the video. ❤️❤️
Watching from Botswana 🇧🇼
Woah! That’s awesome. ♥️♥️ Thanks for being here. ♥️♥️
Proudly Kenyan thanks for visiting and please come back again
I wish you'd make this video a one hour video because I'm so in love with your eloquence. Anyway welcome to Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪
Thank you for the kind words. 😁😁 & Thank you so much for watching. ❤️❤️
At the airport entrance the security checks are necessary. The car is checked of weapons as you are scanned also on the right side. This to protect the population inside the airport for it has more than 500 companies and hotels in the airport perimeter.
Thank you for visiting Kenya, for that I have subscribed.
1. Being friendly and nice is our number one weakness as Kenyans
2. In Kenya cashless transactions are taking over especially Mobile money is used to the last village.
Thank you so much for subscribing.
1. It's a beautiful trait 😁😁.
2. It's absolutely impressive that cashless transactions have been adopted nationwide. 👏
Thank you for watching.
Am really impressed by your video coverage, you’re a talented UA-camr. Keep going
Thank you so much. ❤️❤️
Kenya's tree cover had drastically reduced to below 10%. That's why the President set that ambitious target. And yes kids in school will have 4K clubs where they will participate in planting trees and nurturing them.
That's awesome. Protecting the environment is a top priority
The security check point outside the Airport was put up recently. Initially it was not there.
Reason, we are a country on a 24hr terrorist attack alert from previous experiences. So such sensitive infrastructure facility like JKA has to be very highly protected reason why you have to be screened for any terrorist threat outside the Airport.
We did have plastic bags but the government changed it a few years before covid due to pollution.The bags are actually paid for but it’s re-usable whenever 😊
The security cheque outside JKIA was added to enhance security following terrorist threats in the last 10 years or so...Threats are 'neutralized' before you even access the airport. Quite effective, in my opinion.
We are naturally welcoming People. One africa, one love..
Yes, it shows 😁😁. Thanks so much for watching. ❤️
@ 9.20 the reason why there is a security check outside the airport is because the vehicles and your luggage is scanned for explosives and anything suspicious. so those vehicles are actually passing through a scanner.. sort of like an x ray for vehicles
That's awesome. That's why I mentioned that I knew there had to be a reason. Thanks so much for sharing. ❤️
Nice to see you again vera frank! Kenya is a beautiful country,they have a government, unlike the looters called government in Nigeria. I think monthly rent is actually better than annually for economic reasons..The uk is right hand drive and we drive on the right side of the road like in kenya..With all the insecurity in Nigeria, l am still surprised anyone,even someone that is not travelling can just walk or drive into airports in Nigeria. At least kenyans are pro active,taking measures against terrorist unlike Nigerian government. Thank you!
Nigeria also used to drive on the left due to their former colonial masters but somewhere along the way they changed. Most former UK colonies drive on the left.
I actually applaud the proactive measures put in place by the Kenyan government to curb insecurity.
True. That was in the 1970s
It’s not only in government facilities that we go cashless,but even in hospital facilities,restaurants and different departments all around😊
Thank you for this, welcome back
Thank you so much. ❤️❤️❤️
Welcome back.
Thank you.
Rent in Kenya is CHARGED monthly. However you are free to pay it quarterly or annually. Mostly landlords would actually prefer the annual option
You also obtained an accent from us. Bravo!
About renting,I think monthly payments are much friendly to the rural-urban migration,that's a factor since it's affordable to many averaged migrators
Yeah, this makes sense.
Beautiful review of our country Kenya. You have great content Vera. You have earned my subscription.
Thank you so much for the kind words, and thanks for subscribing. ❤️
Kenya banned plastics and to date it's illegal to manufacture,import,sell or use single-use-plastics or carrier bags.
Most travellers to Kenya from major international airport are always warned to discard their plastic bags before boarding any flight to Nairobi ❤.
We've gone a notch higher to ban plastic water bottles in national parks. Tourists have to get reusable water bottles while in parks.
Yeah! Thanks for the clarification. I experienced the one at the Nairobi national park. The water we purchased were in bottles (not plastic).
Thank you for visiting Kenya 🇰🇪 Vera...
I'm glad I did. 😁😁 Thank you so much for watching. ❤️
Kenya went green in 2017 hence ban on plastic bags. Kenya is almost a cashless society, all government payments are cashless, covid also heightened use of cashless mode for payments, don't be afraid,it's safe as it can be. Am currently in Nigeria but av been warned not to Swipe my Visa. We are taught to plant trees and their importance since pre-school. As a tourist nation Kenyans are generally polite and welcoming.
I'll have lots to say about Nigeria, especially the food but one shock I never understand is most Nigerians are loud...av learned they are really friendly but it's just their nature.
Welcome back to Kenya, tourism is our business
Kenyans are the friendliest in Africa and so welcoming ❤
This is a great video and as a Kenyan I thank you for your positive observations. I also do not understand why you have to be scanned individually at the airport gate while they can scan the entire vehicle while you are onboard. About plastic bags, Kenya banned single-use plastic bags in 2017 for environmental and health protection. But you'll still find them being illegally used for various purposes, especially in miraa vending joints.
Welcome back to Kenya. Love your articulation. One can't even detect you are Nigerian. Kenyan suffered terrorism attacks before offshoot of AlQaeda based in Somalia called Al shabab & this made the Country take security more seriously. It easy to detect harm/risk at the gate of the airport & diffuse the risk than whilst inside the airport and cause harm.
There is nothing wrong with a Nigerian accent or articulation . It is low self esteem to assume a good articulation should not sound African .
@@ivyvictor6483he didn't say there's something wrong with the accent. We're just used to their accents.
@@ireneokellokartlies!!! There are many in Nigeria who speak just like her or even better.just that you guys always hammer on Nigerian accent,when on the average,the Nigerian accent is better than those strong eastern accents.
@@emmersonadi3067 😂not better if I have to struggle to understand you.
@@ireneokellokart When I listen to some of east africans speak,I wonder if they are speaking english or Arabic.😂😂🙏🙏🙏
Feeling happy about the review about the security at the gate its all about facial recognition software at the gate it will alert security if your a wanted fellow and also for the car to be scanned its actually a good thing
When you said friendly policemen I'm glad you gave a disclaimer immediately 😂
As for rent payments, we pay monthly otherwise for those who may not afford to raise yearly rent would be disadvantaged. Also, you may wish to change houses after staying in one place for a few months therefore paying rent on a monthly basis makes it easy to move. As for the airport security, Kenya once experienced terrorist act at the airport where a Somalia based terrorist group targeted the airport using a car loaded with explosives. From then on, cars are individually screened for bombs through that massive entrance while passengers alight to be scanned as well for bombs or other harmful weapons. That’s why our airport is one of the safest airports in the world.
For the rent part, I totally understand your perspective & the reasons you stated are 100% valid.
When you say change houses, are the houses in Kenya fully furnished prior to renting, that you don’t have to move lots of personal stuff while changing houses?
In Nigeria, about 96% of the houses come totally empty and as a tenant, you’d have to fully furnish your space. So, it could be a hassle packing up everything one has set up, to leave just in a few months.
About the security, thanks so much for shedding more light on it. I love that I asked the question, because now, I understand too. ♥️♥️
About housing, there are options. There are Houses that are fully furnished where you find everything in the House so you choose based on your taste. However, most of the Houses are empty so you have to furnish it yourself and move with your things when you move out.
@@TheVeraFrank Most people don't live in fully furnished apartments cause that would be quite expensive so you have to move with your things each time you relocate, however there are some very reliable and affordable companies that offer moving services, they provide packing materials, do the packing, wrapping, loading & unloading & arrange everything at your new house to your liking so in just a few hours you're usually all set, its not as much of a hussle as one would think.
