Durnham-Nairobi

Durnham-Nairobi

The City in the Sun:

Nairobi appears to be a city of interest, to many a person out there {and at the very least, from the perspective of Skyscrapercity.com even}. Many though, don’t truly see the city as it truly is, despite even, all forms of News Media in all, that attempt to educate one on Nairobi {and as with it even, a more interesting city in all than most places in the Middle East, or even Southern Africa too even really} {meaning that, the energy levels in the latter, do pale to those, seen in Nairobi actually and once you have been to them, won’t care even, to return to them truly (having been to Nairobi that is)}.

In many ways though, Nairobi to those who do attempt to study it comes off even, as being a Big and Useless place actually. The very fact though, it is in many ways even, at the very center of Trade and Commerce within Africa in many ways, very much means that, Africa in itself, is a Big and Useless place too in all really.

Many though, tend to readily view Nairobi from its Imagery actually [and a rather poor way in all even, in the attempt truly, to see the city as it truly is]. At the very least, viewing Nairobi this way is viewing it even, from its various ‘Divisions’/Districts actually, and in many ways even, viewing Nairobi, as being rather Decentralized in all even [as in some parts of it rather Residential, and others, Slum-like in nature even (and speak too even really, of poor Garbage disposal in all that is)]. In all again, viewing Nairobi from the perspective of its ‘Divisions’/Districts, in many ways even, does explain its name actually i.e. Nairobi {meaning that, its constituents in all associate the name Nairobi, as being a Political entity, and one whose name in all again, is often mentioned whenever Kenyan Elections in all truly, do come up actually}.

In many ways though, those who do view Nairobi this way in all {from Imagery}, tend to be highly Political even {and as with asking for better Government services}, and in many ways even, speaks of Poverty in all, and as seen in Nairobi in all too really.

There is however in all a better way to view Nairobi: Culturally. Viewing it as such in all though and from my perspective that is, calls on viewing it really, from the perspective of its Energy levels actually {and in many ways too even, ‘Song’ in itself truly}.

Work wit me understand how I come, ghetto jiggy

Niggas where you from?

New York City………………….................

-- ‘Ghetto Jiggy’ by the Lost Boys

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35cb_4PABbU

In many ways perhaps, while New York City and its Energy levels in all, is truly in this day defined even, by the music of Jay-Z {and speak even, of New York as a pretty much useless place actually}, and Johannesburg on the otherhand by Kwaito music {meaning, it simply just looks good with nothing much more to say about it}, and modern London/England even, by the music of British Rock Bands such as Oasis {and rather low-key in all}, Nairobi in many ways can be said even, to have its Energy levels pretty much similar (or the same even), to those seen in a song such as ‘Ghetto Jiggy’ {and by the ‘Lost Boys’ too really}.

In many ways perhaps, viewing it from as such helps one see Nairobi as it really is {meaning, not viewing it in all, as an Imagery based Political Entity too really} {and one mismanaged in all again, by Local Politicians in all truly}, but at the very least again, viewing it as such in all, helps one truly see it even, from its Designs in all actually [meaning again, from at the very least, speak even of genuine Nairobi based Artwork, or at the other end even, from its Ethnography in all} {meaning again that, Nairobi is pretty much unique and separate even, from the rest of Kenya/Africa in all truly}.

In many ways, Ethnographically speaking of Nairobi in all, truly refers to viewing it even, from Oracular/Oracle based Knowledge, which many in all again even, simply use in all truly, to simply survive in the place actually {and as with my even perhaps, not only being defined as such by songs such as ‘Ghetto Jiggy’ in all even, but in many ways truly, my use even perhaps, of Oracular Knowledge Systems such as that seen in Neimark/Epegas book ‘The Ifa Oracle’} {and in many ways even, Oracular Knowledge Systems, needed to survive in Nairobi in all, should be pretty much of the Egyptian variety, and not African either (and survival too meaning that, making wealth is not too difficult, but keeping it actually is (and in many ways too really)}.

In many ways again, the Designs that one sees in Nairobi, are not African or European either {they being more complex than this even}, but truly in all perhaps, Egyptian actually {and Designs too stating that, it is best in all, to do just about anything in a rather Alienable fashion actually} {meaning again that, attempting in all to do just about anything in a Solo fashion actually, and at the very least even, speaking of Nairobi again as very much a Republic truly (and as Plato even, did probably truly conceptualize it in all actually)}.

In all truly, this perhaps even calls for giving it, a rather new Name in all: that of Durnham.

The City of Durnham:

Many in most ways, have a poor conception even, of Nairobi as a place in all truly. They falsely even, tend to look at it {and as many a Magazine even at times, attempts to portray it actually}, as being Cosmopolitan even {and with well dressed ‘Westerners’ all over it even}, when in reality, it is best looked on as being a Worldly place actually {this in all speaking even of, its highly varying at times Physical Infrastructure, and also the varying ‘Physical looks’ of its peoples in all (including those, who do attempt in all, to call it a home actually)} {meaning in all that nobody in Nairobi truly does ever feel at home in the place truly}.

In all, attempting to understand these varying Physical looks and Infrastructure even, speaks truly in all again, of viewing Nairobi in all {or Durnham truly even}, from a more or less Directional perspective {meaning again that, most in Nairobi in all get around it even (and as with it even a big place in all truly), by associating themselves in all even, with a major Point in all from which, they do think about the place in general truly} {with this in the Western World on the otherhand, talking of the Metro Station in all ways really}.

Speak though of Metro Stations in all speaks even of Imagery in all truly, with Nairobi/Durnham in all though, best truly envisioned on the otherhand, from a more or less Cultural perspective {and as with speak even again, of major Points in the place truly} {and as with stating that even, calling it Durnham in all, speaks of viewing it as having ‘Westlands’ in Nairobi, as its main central Point actually (and not the main City Center either)} {this again though, and as with the Cultural even, speaks of viewing Durnham in all, as having peoples in all driven by Solo mentalities, and not Group mentalities either (as the City Center today, often dictates even)} {finally in all, viewing it as having ‘Westlands’ as its main center in all again, and its peoples driven in all truly by Solo mentalities actually (and as they often are actually), speaks even of associating Durnham in all again, with a Knowledge based Economy (and this as versus the main City Center in all, and isssues of Political Survival in all truly)}.

To help most out there see the city as it truly is even, is to speak of the place as being based around even, its highly differing even, Infrastructure in all truly {meaning again that, the development of Nairobi as seen today is rather Independent in its ways, and with the end result being a weird looking even, Physical Infrastructure in all even (and as with speak even, of its prevalent African Designs, and not Egyptian Designs either (and as they should be in all truly))}.

There are 8 main ways in all though {or Designs even perhaps}, of looking at Durnham/Nairobi in all, and they in all again will be presented below in all too really:

Religious Organizations/Bodies:

The first way of viewing Nairobi in all, is from its Religious lifestyles actually. This actually is truly a prominent way even, of viewing Nairobi in itself as it truly is in all, and as the only Design perhaps, that today in all again, does truly work in Durnham/Nairobi actually {meaning that, the Kenyan Government in most ways is not truly responsible in all, for the running of the City itself actually, but is only called on to solve any major problems that do arise, and usually by many a Religious leader even}. To make this somewhat difficult topic easy even is to say that, Religious Organizations/Bodies in Nairobi, tend to help train in all, Kenyans even, in what they do call the Trades & Skills (including Accounting), and Trades & Skills too, that are truly in all ways even, responsible for making Durnham/Nairobi today, rather operational and functionable in its ways really. In all, whether these groups be Christian, Islamic, ‘Kenyan Indian’ or even Swahili/Islam, they in all are truly responsible for, my knowing even that the Shop I often do visit, has Bread in it always actually. In many ways though, these Religious Bodies/Organizations are far more important than one thinks them to be, as in stating even that, they are in many ways truly responsible even, for enforcing the Law within Nairobi actually {and with most Law Bodies in Kenya itself, highly based around (or run even) by Religious Bodies/Organizations in all truly}. This though speaks in all again, of much more bigger opportunity in all than most believe actually, as speak of Law in itself truly, speaks even actually, of putting law & order in a School, Workplace, or even in the field of Advertising/Business Promotions in itself truly {meaning again that, all these Law based functions in Nairobi today, and responsible too for making it rather stable actually, are in all run by Religious Bodies/Organizations in all too really}.

Tribal Dens:

Tribal Dens in all speak of a facet of Durnham/Nairobi life, that many do know about even {meaning that if you ever read a Kenyan Newspaper, and even heard the word/term ‘Political Circles’, they in all are speaking of Tribal Dens in all seen/found in Durnham/Nairobi (and speak even of Nairobi/Kenya, as a rather Tribalized place even}. What this all means is that Kenyans in all, do tend to this very day, to very much associate Tribally {and Tribally too, in a Biblical fashion and not African either}. They do this though via visiting many a Tribal Den in all {and with this speaking even of an Eating Spot, a Touristic spot or even a Persons Home in all truly}, and to simply talk about doing Business in all (and in a Deal-making fashion too actually) [or what in Kenya/Tanzania they do call in all again, ‘Biashara’ actually}. An interesting way of doing things {and as with the Tribe even}, as it does in all breed competition between Tribal Dens actually {and not tribes either really}, and as in saying that, it is this facet of Durnham/Nairobi life, that is responsible for the very many even, Factories in all one does see in Kenya/Nairobi actually (and including Tanzania too even really), the Nairobi Stock Exchange, and finally even, Nairobi/Kenyan Corruption in all {and as with talk even, of ‘Political Circles’ in all truly} {and talk too, of Politicians in all favouring one ‘Tribal Den’ actually (and not tribe either), and over another actually (and as with this even, the best way perhaps to understand even, talk in all, of a tribe such as the Kikuyu being divided in themselves truly)} {In many ways even the part of Durnham/Nairobi in all, that does unite it with to the rest of Kenya even} {and in many ways again, talk abounding in all, of competition between the Kikuyu tribe and the ‘Indians’, and with regards even, to Kenya’s Manufacturing Industry in all too really}.

Modern/Western Kenya:

To some surprisingly enough, the above two facets of life in Durnham/Nairobi, are not Modern/Western (and as the Modern/Western World might attempt to claim) {but actually truly in all, speak in many ways even, of at the very least their being, Victorian in origins actually}. The Modern/Western World in Kenya though, often tends to show itself, primarily in the form, of the Financial Industry actually. In many ways, a facet of life in Durnham/Nairobi, that is truly probably, rather Useless in its ways actually. The Financial Industry in Kenya, speaks of lending money to the average Person out there, in their hopes even, of doing Localized Business {what this means is that someone apparently spotted an opportunity to make Money out there, and the Financial Industry is ready enough, to lend them this Money and with the hopes, of making a small profit from it all actually (or even, attempting to turn it in all again, into a Business opportunity actually)}. All this again speaks of a Kenya in all, as being based around Skyscrapers even, Private/Aid Organizations, NGO’s, and everyday even, African Market(s) activity {and as filled even, with Street Peddlers in all actually}. At the very heart of all this though, is what can be termed the Communications Industry (and including Cellular Communications even), and in many ways too even, whenever one does hear the term the Middle East & Africa, it actually truly in all, does refer to the Middle East investing into Communication Networks & Systems, and as seen in Africa too really {which apparently even in all though, speaks of Street Peddlers too really, and as with this even, a facet of life as seen in the Middle East actually, and not truly African either)}. In many ways, the group that brought you Communications in Kenya, Skyscrapers, and low-level Islamic/Muslim looking Building {but in all again, the very part of Kenya/Nairobi, that works most poorly (and that which many a Western Government/President in all, is most likely to talk about even, and when talking of Durnham/Nairobi too that is)} {meaning again, it is this facet of Durnham/Nairobi in all, heavy in investment actually, but mainly responsible for any National/Foreign Debt, that Kenya in all today, does face in all truly} {in all again, Kenya to these folks speaks truly of, the Communications Industry (and Communication Networks & Systems too really)} {and Networks and Systems too, mainly used in all by those operating even, in the other facets of life seen in Durnham/Nairobi too really}. In all again, Westerners in all {‘White people’ and ‘Mulattos’ too even}, with no clue on just how Nairobi/Kenya does work actually {as in saying that, the Kenyan Financial System is probably the worst performing Financial System ever, conjured up actually (and as with the belief even, that its possible to truly define a City in all even, highly based around Electronic Communications Systems & Networks, and not Cultural/Historical life either}.

Media Kenya:

The very world of Media Kenya in all, does exist in all truly as a Political Force even {and with it at the very least even, consisting of putting up rather huge Billboards even, where all kinds of things are advertised actually (and as can be seen even, in Skyscrapercity.com too really)}. In many ways even, the very world of Media Kenya in all, is rather diverse actually, but at the very least, one can say it is heavily grounded even, in Kenya’s Retail Trade Sector actually {and talk of all those Malls even, one is likely to see, in all on Skyscrapercity.com actually} {in many ways, when on reading a Kenyan Daily and hearing the word ‘Political Forces’, it does not speak actually of Politicians in all truly, but actually truly really, forces seen within ‘Media Kenya’ actually (and Forces too, associated with ‘Political Crime’ in all too really)}. Media Kenya in all again, is divided truly perhaps into Radio, Television, Magazines & Newspapers, Entertainment spots, and even the Popular Foods Industries in all too really [and including speak even of Beers and Wines in all too really]. These folks in all again, attempt truly to do what they do term, Business in Nairobi mainly [meaning again, if you ever hear a Person identify themselves as being a ‘Nairobian’, they truly in all live in the sphere, of Media Kenya actually (which even speaks truly of, many a Brownskinned Kenyan in all too really)}. There was a time when Media Kenya in all, was heavily controlled by Government actually, but in many ways again, a time even, when Kenyan Business {grounded in Retail Trade too} {and speaking even of before the 1990’s in all too really}, was actually well run in many ways even. The early 1990’s though saw Kenya in all, opened to all forms of Media in all again, and from outside it such that, what they do call ‘Americanization’ in all {and lower end even} {and as with speak perhaps, of Californias Ghettos even}, started becoming the norm actually. It appears that this freeing of the Media in many ways even, has made Kenya rather backward in all actually, and as in saying that at the very least, Government controlled Media in Kenya before, was in many ways even, somewhat truly Victorian actually {and speaking again, of looking to buy a rather popular interesting Book even, and rather than listening to a rather lackluster Popular CD in all actually}. In all again, Media too, talking of Investment into Kenya, and not only by Asians in all (with they truly referred in all even, as ‘Kenyan Asians’ actually}, and coming in from the Middle East and India too even, but also seeing Investments in all again, into Kenya itself, coming in from Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa even {and speak too even really, of African Trade in all actually}. They though, have managed to turn Kenya/Nairobi, into a kind of ugly mess actually, as in saying even that, they have no proper view in all, of what kind of Media even, truly does truly work in Durnham/Nairobi even {meaning in all again, most of the peoples seen in Durnham/Nairobi, are not driven by the Popular at all actually}. To make this even more difficult is to say that, this group has come in all, to define Urban/City Planning in Durnham/Nairobi {and disastrously too even}, and as in saying that, many a person in Durnham/Nairobi in all, tends to congregate even, around Business venues, set up by these folks in all truly, and in all again has resulted, in Durnham/Nairobi, looking pretty much ugly in most ways really. In all again, rather poor Media in all {including Poor Satellite Television services actually}, but whenever one does hear of Kenya/Nairobi becoming a future International Business Destination even, it is from the perspective of Media Kenya {and Kenyan Retail Trade even} {and not, Modern/Western Kenya either} {and as with saying again that, Kenyan Media in all, is best grounded even perhaps, in an International Magazine culture perhaps, and not the Infrastructural (or Retail either)} {meaning again that, an idea in a Singaporean Magazine perhaps, could very well work, in Durnham/Nairobi in all too really}. In all and as a finality even, this facet of Durnham/Nairobi life, is singularly in most ways even, responsible for most of the Chaos (and including garbage seen anywhere even), that you do see/find in the place in all truly {and including even, Traffic Jams in all too actually} {and an ugly facet of life in Durnham/Nairobi, that the Mayors Office in all, would probably best be advised to look into (meaning again, just bring back the old Victorian ‘mtindo’ (or in all again that is, flood the place with made cheap Magazines even, from all over the World actually)} {and ‘mtindo’ too, highly based around even, the Renting in all, of Public/Official spaces actually (and a perfect Business opportunity even, for Government/Serikali in all actually), and inorder, to hold a function or two really} {this, or face the danger even, of turning Nairobi in itself, into more or less, a Californian Ghetto in all actually}.

The Hospitality Industry:

Many might wonder if Kenya’s Government {or ‘Serikali’ even}, truly does play a role, in the Affairs of Durnham/Nairobi really {as in stating even that, Law in Kenya/Nairobi in most ways truly, is in the hands even, of many a Religious Body/Organization actually}. In many ways even, speak of the Kenyan Government in all, and in Durnham/Nairobi too that is, is to speak of in all again, the Banking Sector actually. One has to realize just how in all, Kenya’s Government in all again {or Government Officials too really}, do truly operate like in all actually: as Investors truly. They apparently are elected, to help deal with the many Infrastructural problems even {arising from a poorly planned city in all again}, and in all, Government Investment speaks about, dealing with these rather many even, Technical issues actually {and as with the rewards and perks of all this even, based truly around enjoying oneself, in Kenya’s rather popular even, Hospitality industry actually (and speaking too even really, of Kenya’s Hotel Industry in all truly)}. In all again, interestingly enough, Kenya’s Large Scale Industries are covered here {including Tourism too really}, and unlike in other places in the World where Large-Scale Industry in all, is used to Produce things actually, in Kenya, Large-Scale Industry in all again, is actually used to deal with Technical/Infrastructural problems, that the Government in all, might face in all truly. An interesting way of looking at Large-Scale Industry, and with the Kenyan Government in all again, facing calls even, for Privatization actually {and as with the false belief even, that outsiders to Kenya in itself, truly do know how to deal with Kenya’s Technical problems (and without speak too even, of a major revamp in all too really)}. In many ways, the whole scenario does appear to work but in some ways perhaps, calling for proper Population Management in all {as in the Government even, and in previous times too really, attempting in all to speak on, whom the perfect person from Durnham/Nairobi in all again, truly is (and as in saying that, there is something just not right about doing things this way as at the very least, there is noticeable Ecological Damage in Durham/Nairobi, that appears in all, to originate with this group actually)}.

Commercial Nairobi:

The term Commercial in many ways, tends to be misunderstood by most actually as it in all, does not refer to Commerce in all truly. Commercial in all ways even, speaks truly of Knowledge exchange in all actually, and in many ways speaking even of, our desire in all, to seek out Knowledge naturally even, and in doing, just about anything we might so wish to do actually. To speak of Commercial Nairobi in all, is to speak of it more or less from its ‘Divisions’/Districts actually {and in all even, speak of better Government Services, and as with regards mainly, to Energy Consumption in all truly}. In many ways though, what they do call Commerce in all again, speaks mainly of Products actually, to be used, in helping minimize Energy Consumption in most ways really {and in Durnham/nairobi, and Kenya too even really, speaks of its famed Nakumatt and Uchumi Supermarket Stores in all too really}. In many ways speak even of Local Politicians in all, providing better Government Services {and as with Systems too really} {and from Transport even, to Sewage disposal, to simply even buying Sugar in all truly}, but in all again truly, speaking actually of Accessing Knowledge in all, in helping deal with any kind of problems, one might face as an Individual actually {and as with speak even, of Health issues in all too really}. In all, speaking again of Small-Scale Business in Durnham/Nairobi, and in all, Commercial Nairobi even, is highly defined by its Militarized/Policing units even, and mainly even perhaps, its Transport Networks in all ways really {and as with this again, all about Knowledge Access (and speaking even truly, of many a Marketing Firm, to be seen in Durnham/Nairobi actually)}. In all again complicatedly perhaps, the very sphere of life in all, that did bring one, the Internet in Kenya actually {or ‘the Net’ as many would call it even}, and whenever you hear any person from Nairobi in all, referring to Nairobi itself as ‘Mtaa’, they are truly speaking even of, Durnham/Nairobi in all, from the perspective of Commercial activity actually {and as with saying even that, this is the main center today, of life as seen in Durnham/Nairobi, and has in all even, defined it rather poorly even, from the the main events, historical even (and including Colonialism even), associated in all, with the city truly}. In finality is to say that, the most Political of life in Durnham/Nairobi {and as with Violence too even really}, and speak even of, Durnham/Nairobi, as divided into Political Districts and Districts too, probably in all, lacking in any form or kind of Knowledge even, one might need at any given moment {and the rather volatile world even, of local Kenyan Politics in all actually (and as with speak even, of Councillors and Wards too that is)}. Perhaps in all again all this best viewed even, from the perspective of the rather many ‘Estates’ {British styled Housing that is}, seen all over Durnham/Nairobi too really. Durnham/Nairobi in all, as uncultured place even {and as many who do populate these ‘Divisions’/Districts in all, tend to be in general, listeners, of Popular African Music in all too really (or even worse, crappy Rap Music actually) (and such as 50Cent perhaps)}. A realm that exists but does not, as with it perhaps today best defined even, by Internet Access as seen in Durnham/Nairobi and as in stating that, Durnham/Nairobis Webtraffic in all (including Governmental Websites too even really), is probably the best way in all again, to view Commercial Nairobi in all truly {and with Transport in all again, being the major issue of this facet of life in Durnham/Nairobi, and as with it even, an underlying cause to the violence associated with Colonial Kenya actually, and before even that is, the Internet did come along truly}.

Popular Nairobi:

Many out there might be mistaken in believing that, Nairobi’s truly International Image even, arises in all, with Modern/Western Kenya actually, or even truly, Media Kenya in all even. In truth though, if you are an outsider to Kenya/Nairobi in all, and have ever heard fondly about it even, then you should know that all that, emanates in all from, Kenyan Educational facilities actually, International-Foreign Institutes in all {and including Embassies/Consulates}, and finally even, Kenyan Policy/Political Bodies actually {and where the UN in all again, does meet Kenyan actually} {what is been said here is that, most do not hear of Kenya/Nairobi, via Tourism actually, but mainly in all, via Educational Initiatives, of most kinds truly (as with speak even, of Kenya’s rather great and diverse even, Foods in all truly)} {and speaking again, of Kenyas unknown, but rather famed Chefs in all too really}. If you are an outsider to Kenya itself even, and travel to Nairobi, you will most likely find yourself in this section/facet, of life in Durnham/Nairobi {the Educational that is}. In many ways even, a facet of life in Durnham/Nairobi (and Kenyan too even), truly responsible in all even, for helping define and form even, a National Kenyan Identity actually {and as with speak even of, what does constitute Kenyan Manliness/Womanliness in all, and Kenyan Manners & Etiquette in all too really}. In many ways again, the only part of life in Durnham/Nairobi, associated truly with speaking fluent modern English in all truly {and as with even, Kiswahili in most ways, not being heard of other than, in the form of popular jargon such as, ‘Hakuna Matata’ even} {and with this facet of life in Durnham/Nairobi even, associated in many ways even, with Residential lifestyles, seen in the place truly}. Nothing much to say about all this other than, if you are in Kenya now, and within this sphere of life in all again, don’t seek out Tourism for fun in all truly {it mainly associated with another facet of Durnham/Nairobi life actually (that of Government business in all truly)}, but truly in all again, seek out the ‘city’ of Naivasha perhaps, and simply hang out and have fun there actually {as in saying that, those in this facet of Durnham/Nairobi life, should view Kenya in all again, primarily from Naivasha actually} {and as with helping even, create an International scene in all is to say that, Popular Nairobi is heavily associated with ‘Party Kenya’ (including ‘Home Parties’ even), and with Naivasha in all, the best choice for all this (and other than chaotic Nairobi that is)}. In all, life in Durnham/Nairobi, actually best identified in all, by International-Foreign Institutes, and all forms even, of Diplomatic Channels actually {and finally even, as with saying that in all, it is possible to find rather good Training in all again (Educational that is), on just about any topic even, considered of importance/interest, and to most out there actually (surprisingly enough that is) (and as with speak even, of a city whose constituents in all, don’t care too much about reading actually)}.

General Feel and Moods of Popular Nairobi:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoNXsne8exg

Cultural Nairobi:

This facet of life in Durnham/Nairobi, does not actually truly exist even, but is in all ways even, the most important part of it all actually {as with stating again that, Durnham/Nairobi is best driven in all, by the Cultural, and not by Politicized Imagery either}. In all, while Popular Nairobi attempts to give Kenya even, an International Image, and Modern/Western Nairobi, attempts to give it in all, a rather poor even, Cosmopolitan Image, Cultural Nairobi speaks of Durnham/Nairobi in all, from the perspective even, of it having a Worldly Image actually. At the very least, this speaks of the Real-Estate/Housing Industry, the Money Markets (and talk even of High Quality Services actually), and finally even, Cultural/National Arts Centers in all truly {and as with Durnham/Nairobi even, viewed as Cultural Center in all truly, and from the rest of Kenya too even really} {and speak even of, Nairobi in all, as distinct even, from the rest of Kenya too even really (it being mostly even, uncharted territory in all actually)}. In many ways even (if not all actually), this should be at the very heart even, of life in Durnham/Nairobi itself (and not Commercial Nairobi either) {as in saying that, for a City to exist over time in all, it must have a strong Cultural/Historical foundation to it all really}. Cultural/National Arts Centers too, primarily responsible in all, for creating culture for the Masses actually, and as with knowing that in Durnham/Nairobi, this at the very least calls for even, those highly knowledgeable even, in Oral Communications actually {and not an ‘expert’ either, from the Middle East, America, or even the Western World too really} . In my opinion, Durnham/Nairobi in all, is capable of becoming a Cultural Mecca actually, as long as one can find even, Creative persons in all {they mostly totally lacking even, in Durnham/Nairobi today actually} {and at the very least even, from the perspective of Oral Communications too that is}, and speak too even really, of High Quality Services in all, speaks even, of thinking of it all from the perspective even, of Oracular/Oracle based Knowledge forms actually {as with giving someone in all again, what they truly need in all really}. In all, Oral Communications, the Net/Internet, and the Creativity of a Chaucer even, in helping in all ways even, make Durnham/Nairobi, one of the premier Cities of the World actually {if not the Premier even}, by at the very least even, speaking of its Aesthetics as not being ‘White’ actually {with most out there today, heavily associating Aesthetics in all, with ‘White people’ actually}, but Aesthetics too, rather Egyptian in their ways really {18^th/21^st Dynasty Egypt that is}. In all, at the very least all this is deemed even, as nothing more perhaps, that a Culture based Website on Durnham/Nairobi itself actually {but in all ways truly even, speaks of one being highly knowledgeable actually, in Oral Communications in all truly} {in many ways even, one does see a fine interplay between the Net/Internet and the Housing/Real-Estate Industry as with each even, guiding the other along, in their Progress truly}.

Durnham-Nairobi (2)

Durnham-Nairobi (2).

The Green City in the Sun:

For many a Kenyan, and as including those outside Kenya in itself too, they in all again, probably do wonder just how to reasonably view Nairobi in itself perhaps, and as a home too that is. That for many, issues of Identity, and as arising too, and with many an Illegal Immigrant even, having invaded Kenya in many a way too, leaving many Kenyans in all truly even, truly wondering, whom they are as Kenyans, and amongst many an alien face too that is.

There are three ways in general, to go about viewing Nairobi (or Durnham-Nairobi too), and Kenya in general that is. These three ways in many a way, do describe whats going in Kenya Politically even, and as with speak too, of learning how to survive in the place that is. These three ways in all again, do speak of the following:

(1). Kenya Vision 2030 

(2). the proposed Kenyan Constitution 

(3). emerging Kenyan Industries

The first, Kenya Vision 2030, is in many a way, a futile attempt even, to develop Kenya. It in many a way too in all, speaks of building a so called World Class Infrastructure in Kenya (but in Nairobi in particular), and a World Class Infrastructure too, that apparently does go along, and with the availability of many a Middle Class job that is. The problem with Kenya Vision 2030 though, is that, first off, its very far away in time, and as with seeing any results from it all too that is. That it in all, and with some of the work on it already in progress, promises in all again, to apparently turn most of Kenya, into a Middle Class Country, but with a failure to realize that, the investing in this so termed World Class Infrastructure in all, and the Middle Class jobs that go along with it, is not being done by Kenyans, but by outsiders to it all, and especially the British/UK that is (that in all, this Infrastructure, and the Wealth created from it, is actually owned by the British/UK, and not Kenyans either, and who will have to find a way, to repay the British for it all too). In many a way too, a project deemed to fail, as there is no proof that the Kenyan Government can build a so termed World Class Infrastructure for all Kenyans, or even provide all Kenyans, and with Middle Class jobs too that is (and as with the belief even that, only about 20% of all Kenyans, will truly benefit from all this).

The proposed Kenyan Constitution on the otherhand, appears to attempt to create Civility and Order in all, and within Kenya today too that is. The problem with this Constitution is that, it is actually inspired, and by the Singaporean Constitution that is, in that, it will attempt in all, to turn Kenya (and Nairobi in particular too), into a heavily Authoritarian State that is (meaning in all again that, they actually will tell you, just how in all, to even to Dress, so as to be accepted in Kenyan society in general that is) [and with the Expatriate Community, perhaps above the Law, and as with regards to all this too].

Thirdly is to speak of emerging Kenyan Industries. That Kenya is not really Industrializing in all again, but instead Modernizing (attempting to become technologically savvy that is, and as with M-Pesa too for instance), but that in all again, these emerging Kenyan Industries in all, are not for all Kenyans, but have their Wealth base in all again, controlled by the Wealthy few, and some in Government/'Serikali' too that is. In all, speak of emerging Kenyan Industries, is futile talk for most Kenyans, as first off, they will never truly benefit monetarily, and from these Industries (with many of them being Export oriented too), and secondly, they only appear, to employ very few numbers of Kenyans in all (and as with a Factory too, having only about 100 employees in all again, and even with 100 Factories so to speak, speak in all again only of 10,000 employees that is, and furtherly too though, many of the good jobs in these Industries, going to the Expatriate Community that is).

What follows below though, is speak in all again, and of what Durnham-Nairobi, truly does stand for. That in all ways even, it attempts to accomodate all Kenyans living in Nairobi, and as with their being Independent too, and in most ways too that is. That it in all again, Durnham-Nairobi that is, stands for profiling in all, and is in all ways even, all about creating an Identity, that one very much, can use to survive on (that many Kenyans today, so struggle with the issue of Identity, and other than having a Family based Identity, or even a Tribal one too that is) [but with most Kenyans too, not caring too much in most ways, and for any of these two Identities that is].

A Constitutional Profile of Durnham-Nairobi:

Proposed below again, a Constitutional manner, and of looking at life in Nairobi (or Durnham-Nairobi too that is), and that in many a way, can help those in Durnham-Nairobi in all again, truly know just how to live their lives, and without being dependent on Government/'Serikali' too, and for just about most things too that is (that 'Serikali', and since Independence too, has proven a huge disappointment, and for most Kenyans too that is).

1. Language: It is recommended in all again that, those in Durnham-Nairobi, learn how to speak Victorian English. That in many a way today too, most Kenyans in Nairobi in all, do actually speak Australian English (and not British English either), and a variety of English too, not suited for Kenya, as most out there in all, have no true idea and of just how Australian Society in all again, has evolved (that Australian Society too, and alongside Australian English that is, has evolved mainly from it all actually being a Slave Society, and with Australia today in general too, highly discriminative in nature that is) [that Australia, and until the 80's even, did have a policy in all again that did state that, only White skinned peoples in all, could immigrate to Australia that is]. That those in all again, who do speak so termed Kenyan English (which actually is Australian in origins too, and as with speak of Kenya's Colonial Government housing many an Australian and not a British citizen either, and as many are made to believe that is), are in many a way too, racist, prejudiced and ignorant in their ways in general, and when it does come in all again, to actually dealing with people in general that is. In all again, Victorian English too, and as a rather intelligent form of English that is, and one too, when spoken in all, will not only result in Civility and Order in Kenya, but also a Kenya too, filled with rather intelligent peoples in it that is.

2. Dress: Kenya today, has undergone in many a way, a futile attempt in all, in attempting that is, to create a National Dress for all. It all in many a way, has failed in all this, and due to the attempt, to Africanize Kenya in all, when Kenyans in many a way, are more or less similar in attitude, and to Europeans too, and especially the Victorians that is. In all, what is proposed here, is Dress for those in Durnham-Nairobi, and that is inspired in all again, and by British Dress too (that it in all, is rather well suited even, and for those in Durnham-Nairobi too that is). In many a way too, a further recommendation that, rather than going the Western route, and which does have Men and Children dressing around Women (or simply Women dressing up Men and Children that is), that instead, Women and Children, should learn how to dress around Men actually.

3. Speech: Many in Kenya today, and in Nairobi too, do have problems, and as with regards truly even, and to what they do call Speech that is (or even Voice in general too actually). That unless, you kind of have an American accent in all, or even a European one too, then one in many a way, is generally discriminated against, even when it does come, to searching for a Job for instance that is. In many a way too, discrimination in the Western World, is highly based around Speech, and speak of Superiority and Inferiority too, does in many a way, have to do with Speech and Voice issues too that is (that in all, one can be intelligent for instance, and due to speaking Victorian English too, but still find themselves feeling Inferior, due to Speech/accent and Voice issues that is). A difficult problem to solve in many a way though, but for those in Durnham-Nairobi, is to propose a kind of Speech/accent and Voice in all too, similar to that seen in Television shows and such as 'Mind your Language' for instance, or even, in the Qu'ran posted below that is (and by one Abdullah Yusuf Ali too) [that in many a way, those feeling inferior in Kenya/Nairobi at the moment, should simply know that its all about Speech/accent and Voice issues, and that the proposed form of Speech above, can help solve many of their Iferiority/Superiority complex issues that is].

4. Ethnic Background: To speak of Ethnic Background in all again is to speak of just how best in all, to go about viewing the peoples in Nairobi (and Kenya too), and as with what even, does constitute Reality, and as with regards to the differences between us all that is. That in many a way, those in Nairobi today in all again (and even Kenya too), do go about viewing most Kenyans, and from the perspective of Tribal mentalities, and as with the belief even that the Kikuyus peoples of Kenya for instance, are simply superior to the rest of us (and when in reality, the rise of the Kikuyu to prominence in all again, very much has to do, and with their having had close contacts even, and with the former Kenyan Colonial Government too that is). However though, and in the attempt in all again, to create a properly working Nairobi for all, is to propose that the differences between us all, best be perceived, and from the perspective of Skin Colour too. That Nairobi and Kenya in general, can be divided into those with Brown skins, those with Brown-Black/'Chocolate brown' skins, those with Black skins, and finally those with White skins too that is. In the attempt to make this all a reality, and as with those who view Kenya and Nairobi and from a Tribal perspective too, feeling disempowered in general that is (and unless they are Kikuyu too that is), is to tell one that, Skin Colour in Kenya, can easily be Politicized, and from the very perspective of its Policing forces that is. That in all again, the so termed AP (Administrative Police), actually do deal with Brown skinned Kenyans in all, while the Regular Police (Blue Shirts), actually do deal with those with Brown-Black/'Chocolate brown' skins, and with the so called CID (and as including the Law Society of Kenya too), dealing in many a way, and with Black skinned Kenyans too actually, and finally, with many a Private Security firm in Kenya, dealing with White skinned populations in Kenya too that is.

5. Occupation: issues of Employment in all again, and in Kenya and Nairobi too, continues to be a big problem, and for most too that is. That most in all again, do think of a Middle Class employment in all, and as with speak too, of being Educated that is. However though is to tell those in Durnham-Nairobi that (and alongside most Kenyans too), that one in all, is capable in all again, and of finding work too, if and only if, its an Occupation that is (meaning in all again, any kind of work, and that does go along, and with what they do call Equipment/Gear, and not Tools or Machines/Machinery either). That in all again, one can be self-employed in all, if and only if, one truly does know how to use Equipment/Gear and of all kinds too that is (and as with speak even, and of being creative in all that is) [and as with Computers in many a way too, a form of Gear too actually].

6. Society: Society in Nairobi and in Kenya today, is highly based around Club Entertainment, Drinking holes/spots and finally in all again, Home Parties of all kinds too that is. In Durnham-Nairobi though, is the attempt in all again, to merge Society, and alongside Religious Identity too. That Society in Durnham-Nairobi, should consist of the Hotel scene, Restaurants and finally Religious Bodies/Organizations too (and as with their holding even, a social occasion of a kind too that is). In all again, Religion, and as practised mainly through Society in itself too actually.

7. Liaisons: for those living in Nairobi and Kenya today, they probably do realize that there is big even, problem too, and when it does come, to Communicating with others. That proper Communications in all, is not about having Cellphones all over, but instead, all about learning how to have others, and in general too, see things in ones way that is. For those in Durnham-Nairobi though, is to recommend in all again, what they do term Liaisons (and as opposed to depending on 'Serikali' too, and in attempting to do anything big that is). That in all again, Liaisons too, as not Sexual or Familial in their ways even, but instead Congenial/Friendly too, and as with associating all this even, and with what they do call Deliberations that is (and as with they even consisting of as few as two people in general that is). In all again, something not too easy to explain, but probably the source below, could be of great help and with regards to all this.

8.Status: there is many a serious issue, and as with regards even, and to Status, and as seen in Modern Nairobi and Kenya today too. That those considered as having Status, are in many a way favoured in all again, and when it comes to just about every facet of life that is (and as with regards even, to what Schools they do attend, where they choose to live, or even again, which friends they are capable of having that is). In many a way today too, and in Nairobi and Kenya that is, Status in all, is defined heavily even, and from the very perspective of Money, Educational attainment (preferably Foreign), Family Name, or even so termed Proverbial ties and with peoples in all again, that Kenyan Society in general too, deem to be superior in one way or another that is. In Durnham-Nairobi though, is to introduce the concept of Secret/Private Societies in all (and as with Private Membership of any kind too), and as way in all again, of creating not only Status, but also seeking out Wealth in general too that is.

9. Ethnography:  for most in Nairobi and Kenya today, one does realize that, most don't have what they do term Ethnography in all (or even Folklore too that is). This is in many a way even, is why, certain groups of peoples in Kenya too (and such as the Kikuyu, Maasai, Somali-Kenyans or even the Swahili peoples), remain somewhat reknowed, and as with they truly even, having Folklore, and to their ways too that is (that Folklore in all, speaks of everyday successes, and as with this referring even, and to how to approach a Woman for instance). For those in Durnham-Nairobi though, and as with speak even of Ethnography too, all this referring generally even, and to the general Culture in place that is, is to perhaps in all again, promote a Literary/Scholastic tradition in all, and that will help, and in the creation of a Folklore/Ethnography too, and for those in Durnham-Nairobi that is (although speak of all this in all, can very well be done, and from a Private perspective too that is). In all again, is to promote the very works of Graham Greene, and as and inspiration too, and for the creation of Ethnography, and in Durnham-Nairobi too that is.

10. Authority: there is huge problem in Nairobi and Kenya today, and as with regards even and in all again, to whom to turn to, and as with regards truly even, to solving Communal problems in general that is. That finding adequate Housing for instance, or even resolving Domestic/Legal disputes too (and such as speak of hateful Relatives that is), remains a problem, and for many Kenyans too that is. In many a way too, for many in Kenya today, Authority is often perceived, and from the very perspective of Religious Leaders, Serikali/'Government Officials', former Teachers (High School and University too), the Banking/Finance Industry, and finally in all again Diplomats to Kenya too that is. For those in Durnham-Nairobi though, is to promote Philanthropy in all (and as with speak even, and of Volunteer Organizations and such as USAID too for instance), and as a form of Authority, and that can very well help in dealing, and with issues too, very much Communal in their ways that is.

11. Power Structures: there was a time, when Kenya and Nairobi too (and in the 70's and 80's even), did in many a way, function favourably, and for most Kenyans, and due to the very presence too, and of Local Leaders that is (and as with many a Local Council Meeting too for instance). The late 80's and the 90's too though, saw the Moi Regime in all, do away with these Local Leaders, leaving many a Kenyan, helpless, and as with regards even, to everyday survival that is (and as with speak even, and of where to find Resources, and as including speak of Water too that is). In all again, Kenya and Nairobi today, having its masses suffering in many a way, and as with its peoples, having to depend on the goodwill of their Neighbours in general, and as with regards even, to everyday survival that is. For those in Durnham-Nairobi though, is to promote the Power Structures that do go along with Concubinage (and as the proposed form of Family in Durnham-Nairobi too), and as the Ideal Power Sructures in all again, and for those in Durnham-Nairobi too that is [in all again, all this referring to Resource allocation in general, and as with speak even, and of where to place a Shopping Market for instance, and for the benefit of a Community too that is].

12. Common History: many in Nairobi and Kenya, tend to have many issues, and as with regards even, to just how to go about creating a Personal Identity in all, and that will have them in all again, thinking of themselves, and in a positive manner too, and also very much, as successful people too that is. For many in Kenya and Nairobi today, a desire to escape themselves, and as with speak of Identity and History too, and as with it heavily even, based around the Nuclear Family in all, and also Tribal Identities too that is. Some though who do choose to escape these Identities in many a way too, seek to create a general Historical/Personal based Identity in all, and as based around the Schools they attended, or even the Kenyan Music Scene (and speak of one being a Teenager or Young Adult too for instance), Kenyan Sport figures (and as with they Nationalistic in nature, and as with further speak even of Kenya and as a whole too, and as a Home in all and as with any location in it too, and for all Kenyans that is), Slang too, and finally in all again Materiality in itself that is. That in all, the latter 5 ways mentioned above, are the very way in which most Kenyans (and especially the Youth), seek to create Success/Independence oriented Identities (and as with speak even, and of a general Kenyan History too), but with they too, having totally failed in their ways, and what is in all again recommended for those in Durnham-Nairobi too is that, Personal Success/Independence and of any kind too, and as with speak even of a common Historical/Personal based Identity for all in Durnham-Nairobi, is to base Personal Identity in all again (and as with speak even of general Routine life that is), and as based around many a Religious Festival too actually (and as with one seeing themselves generally, and in Durnham-Nairobi too, and as based around a Memory in all, very much originating with many a Religious Festival too that is).

Financial Mathematics

Financial Mathematics.

For those in Durnham-Nairobi, and wishing in all again to make it all so operational, and in the smallest amount of time too actually, is to know in all again that, the solution in all, does truly lie in Financial Mathematics actually {and as with it even, and truly in all again, a form of Oracular Knowledge Systems actually}. To make this all much more clearer, is to in all again speak of running Durnham-Nairobi in itself, as not only based around Financial Mathematics/Engineering actually, but also in many ways truly even, relegating the very world of Strathmore Schooling in all (and as seen in Nairobi, Kenya too), as probable high candidate too, and as with regards to all this actually {that in all again, the very world of Strathmore Schooling, and especially as with regards to Strathmore University in itself, be seen in many a way truly, as a Center of Operations, and for not only Durnham-Nairobi in itself that is, but with all this too, speaking at the very least too even, of a Course on Financial Mathematics/Engineering that is} {and with the further belief too that, Starthmore Schooling/University, does have all the expertise needed in all again, to truly deal with just about most technical and financial issues, that would arise or make themselves manifest, and in Durnham-Nairobi too that is}.

Durnham-Nairobi (3)

Durnham-Nairobi (3).

Landmarks:

Nairobi today, is a place in all, strongly associated even, and with various a Landmark and of a kind too. For many, Nairobi in all, can be said to be primarily viewed, and from the very perspective of the Holy Family Basilica, the Co-operative House, the Nation Center, the I&M Bank Tower, and finally in all again, the Nairobi National Park too.

Below though, is a proposal, and on just how to go about seeing Durnham-Nairobi and in its entirety too.

1. The All Saints Cathedral.

2. Strathmore School.

3. Jamia Mosque.

4. The Sarit Center.

5. The Carnivore Restaurant.

Francophone

Francophone.

Francophone vs. Anglophone:

Those who do live in Kenya in all, do recognize that, there are two primary ways of looking at Kenya, and Politically too that is. The first way, very much has to do, with centering Kenya and around the city of Nairobi too, and in all ways even, a truly British way of viewing Kenya, and as with this speaking too of, African presences in all, and in a now Post-Independent Kenya too {and with the British way of viewing Kenya, heavily focusing or concentrating on Colonialism (Kenyan Ethnic Identities), Independence (the Kenyan Flag), and African life since Independence too that is (the Kenyan Economy)}. There is however another way, and often used in all, and by Brown skinned Kenyans too perhaps, and in viewing Kenya in itself too. This manner of viewing Kenya, views Kenya primarily and from the port city of Mombasa too, and in all ways even, is a German way of viewing Kenya too, and as with it truly based around viewing Kenya and from Tourism/Adventurism in itself, its Educational facilities too (and as including Educational Media too that is), and finally in all again, Popular Media in all that is {and Media too, more or less Victorian in spirit too that is} {and as with the three too, a rather basic way even, and of living in Kenya too, and rather comfortably that is}.

There is also however, another way of looking at Kenya, and from more or less, a Cultural/Secular perspective too that is. It in all ways even, does speak of viewing Kenya and as either Anglophone that is, or even truly again perhaps, Francophone too {and as with Francophone here too, an umbrella term in all, and for those in all again, living within Kenya, and who do not ascribe to Anglophone Mores that is}. In many a way, taking Karen/Lakeview and in 'Durnham-Nairobi' too, and as an example of all this, is to in all ways even, speak of Anglophone oriented lifestyles, and as heavily based around Shopping Malls, Entertainment Spots & Venues, and finally in all again, Local News Media in all too really. To speak of Francophone lifestyles on the otherhand (and as with those in Kenya, and who also do very much live lives, and as based truly around the speaking of Kiswahili or Swahili even, and in their most pure forms too), is to in all again perhaps, speak of Religious Media/Centers, Language & Culture, and finally in all again truly even, Historical sites in themselves that is.



In all though, is to declare here below that (and in the attempts too, to salvage Karen/Lakeview in all and from very much becoming slum like in its ways that is, and as with it even, once former hot prime Real Estate and in Nairobi too), that in all again, there is a basic way of living in Karen/Lakeview too, and which in all too really, does truly speak of it, and as Independent in spirit and Community too that is, and without one having that is, to travel outside Karen/Lakeview, and as with a livelihood too actually.

In all, this basic way of living in Karen/Lakeview, does have to do, and with viewing Karen/Lakeview, Durnham-Nairobi/Nairobi and Kenya too, and from more or less truly, the German and Francophone ways, and of viewing Kenya Politically and Culturally/Secularly too that is (and all this said too respectively that is). That in all, basic lifestyles and for those in other parts of Abyssinia {'the Plains'}, or 'Nairo' in itself too, and who do wish, to live in Karen/Lakeview for instance, does speak in all ways even, and of associating oneself and with the various Religious Centers/'places of worship' in the place (and as with Political survival too), its various Botanical Gardens (and accompanying Restaurants too), and finally in all again the Karen Blixen Museum in all, and as the primary Historical site too, and in Karen/Lakeview too that is {and as with all this too, referring in all again, to the speaking of what they do term Francaise (a kind of Media oriented French, and not true French either, and once spoken in Pre-Colonial and Victorian Kenya too that is), or even truly again, the speaking of Swahili in all, and in its purest forms too, and not Kiswahili either} {and with the Pre-Colonial, speaking of a time in Kenya, when outsiders to it in all, and who were not speakers of Victorian English or knowledgeable in Victorian Communications either, do start to make their way, and into Kenya too that is (and as with many of these, and to the present day, never having learn't Victorian English, or even Victorian Communications in themselves, and as with they both needed, and for Kenya in itself, to survive and as with speak of Independence too that is} {that in all, Victorian Communications and Victorian English too, are actually the natural/civil/orderly way of communicating in all, and within Kenya/Abyssinia too that is}.

In all again, the main goal here, is to very much declare Karen/Lakeview, and as very much Francophone in its ways too, and as with the only English to be spoken in the place truly, Anglaise actually {and which is a kind of English too, similar to Francaise in all, and as with it even, a highly Media oriented form of English, but having its roots, and alongside Francaise too, and in what they do call the Angleterre actually (a European/Italian styled/way of speaking English, but having Victorian Communications to it too actually)}.
