Comments by "alex chui" (@alexchui3511) on "Стивен Ндукву" channel.

Kileleshwa, Lavington, Kilimani are at best upper middle class areas and a few affluent people live here as well. The rich live in exclusive mansions in Muthaiga, Karen, Runda, Kitisuru and other exclusive enclaves of Nairobi.

Take the prices with a pinch of salt. I'm not sure how he arrived at the prices. But there are prices in Nairobi that fits any pocket.

And SAns think you are joking. I watched this and I was like then Kenya is not badly off unless there are other areas better than what has been shown. And where I think Kenya has an edge over these properties is the greenery. These places are lush but Kenya's rich neighbourhoods are enveloped with trees, it's like homes built in the forest. Apart from Waterfall which gives Beverly Hills vibe, the others are not particularly better than what I see in Nairobi's rich neighbourhoods.

@limpopoRiver Why do SAns think nothing exists outside of SA in Africa? At the start of the video he showed number of millionaires in Africa and Nairobi was 4th in that list, shouldn't that tell you something?
4
@sekatimangena2671 And who said we are competing? A Kenyan in the comments made a comparison and I chimed in. Are we not supposed to comment because the video is about SA even though we follow Steve who has been to Kenya and did the same video on real estate? Get real people and get out of your feelings.
4
I hear this a lot. So there has to be similarities.
3
@limpopoRiver Did I say they were? All I know is that lushness/greenery go a long way in determining property prices. Of course this goes over your head!

@wahwah7701 You could be a rich country or city but that wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few. This is true of most capitalistic countries like SA and even Kenya. It is a fact that white South Africa controls majority of wealth in SA and I'm sure they are the majority living in those luxurious exclusive neighbourhoods/estates. In the USA, top 1% of rich people own 42% of the wealth. Mostly ordinary people are just used as workers/labourers for the owners of capital. So yes, Jo'burg is the richest city in SA and Africa but that wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few. It has nothing to do whlith it being 80% black. Majority of that 80% of black population just provides labour and its share of wealth is negligible.
3
A stunning city no doubt. But I'd only visit there but never live. The racial disparities in the socio-economic spheres is palpable if not obvious. I'd want to live in a city that has an African vibe and not necessarily European. Beautiful city but leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
2
@qhawenxele8032 Yeah Jozi has more of African feel though Sandton again is where the white man escaped to. I'd definitely choose Jozi over Cape Town if I was to settle there.
2
@daPhenomenal hahaha you are joking now. Show me another major city in the world with a national park. As for beauty, Nairobi tops Lagos by far. And let's not even compare the rest of Kenya to Nigeria. You are joking!
2
 @theoschoendube Everytime a black SAn opens their mouth, I recoil in shame. What do you even own in your country?
2
Blessed to have mortgages that you slave for the rest of your life and that costs an arm and a leg? Mortgage is only a good thing if it is priced right and doesn't go beyond 10-15 years. In most of Africa, it is almost unaffordable for the majority and people buy land and build their homes. There's no one way of owning a home.
2
@retsenateng Thank you, you understood me. I think the video should have also shown the suburbs with their greenery because all it says is where the super rich live in Jozi and I wondered then Kenya rich neighbourhoods aren't badly off if these were the best of SA. In Kenya, rich neighbourhoods like Muthaiga (old money) and Karen, Runda (new money) are basically forested homes for the amount of tree cover in those suburbs, you can barely see the homes unless you fly a drone which is also not allowed. What is shown in this video we call them in Kenya gated communities.
2
@sekatimangena2671 Nairobi and Jozi have pretty much the same weather/climate. They are both subtropical though Nairobi is nearer the equator and maybe a bit warmer. Also Nairobi and Jozi have the same elevation of more than 1700 m. The south/south east of Nairobi is more savannah like and the north/West is more lush with greenery.
2
@limpopoRiver Show me where I said that. Again, I will never say you are better than Kenya in anything. Of course you are more richer, more developed and I don't think that means necessarily better. On the same breath, you have the most inequality, among highest in the world, crime infested with 27,000 murders in a year, highest GBV, highest unemployment, half the population on grants, white dominated economy with blacks at the periphery of the economy etc. So you still want me to say SA is better than Kenya?
2
@limpopoRiver Which Indians and Whites own Kenya? Don't run away from the fact that Whites own SA's economy. Apart from a few Indian industrialists, the rest of the economy is in the hands of black Kenyans. Real estate, retail market, agroeconomy and agriculture, banks and Saccos, other financial institutions, private schools and universities etc. Can you say the same for SA? Absolutely NO! What is preventing you from speaking about Kenya? Say anything I'll be here to confirm or debunk any lie. What I have enumerated about SA is true that's why you haven't denied anything.
2
@viriacssa2003 By the way, only 6% of Nairobi land area is slums, go figure!
2
@wahwah7701 It's not about what you think but facts on the ground. SA is a capitalist economy run by private enterprise, it is not government run. The government governs and provides public goods and services, it does not run the economy but only regulates parts of it. Isn't it the reason why Malema and his EFF wants to nationalise some parts of the economy because the wealth is concentrated in what he calls "white monopolistic capital"?
2
@Marysmmiiith Did you check if I was feeling bad previously? Empty your frustration on someone else....
2
@Marysmmiiith And who said we are competing with you? Where have I mentioned we are in competition? Get the context right before you get into your feelings.
2
People leave this @lagondo troll alone. He is so bitter and suffers from acute inferiority complex. He is all over these videos looking for useless arguments. He even wants to argue with the owner of this channel, a Nigerian nonetheless!
2
The best views of the mountain are from the Kenyan side at Amboseli National park. Muache wivu watu wa Bongo. Watu bure sana.

 @StevenNdukwu We do remember sir with Afrikan Traveller. We boosted your channel and you've never looked back. Happy for you for the immense growth since.
1
Watching this is beyond belief. How they live here, survive and look healthy can only be by grace of God. Our African leaders have failed their populations and there's no hope in sight in the foreseeable future. God help His children.

Mr Lboogie 🇳🇬 you are out of your mind. Even Mali and Burkina Faso have held AFCON yet they are dirt poor. Yes, the government did not prioritise AFCON and that's why Kenya did not host it. You have nothing in terms of tourism, don't even go there. You produce oil but you don't have enough fuel in your petrol stations, a country that runs on generators including the airport! Naira has fallen so much in value that 1 kenya shilling is now equal to 5 Nairas. Nairobi ranks as a global city ahead of all Nigerian cities, check out Gawk rankings. The only thing that Nigeria boasts of is its big population. When you land at the airport in Lagos, what you see is shanties and poor neighbourhoods from the sky. The giant of Africa is a giant only by population. Try and visit Kenya if you can afford it then give us your comparisons.
1
Mr Lboogie 🇳🇬 do you know we have 47 counties in Kenya headed by county governments and almost all counties are constructing their own stadiums? Don't be a keyboard warrior, make google your friend. Did I mention about internet speed in Kenya compared to Nigeria? I can go on and on if you want me to....
1
@colossal4279 who appointed you moral police on these streets? Niwache buda ni deal na hizi ngamwe
1
Demi Khay 🇳🇬 no, it is what you call states in Nigeria. Local governments is what we moved from and went into counties. We have no mayors in Kenya, we have county governments complete with county assemblies and the Senate which oversees the counties. At the top we have national government what you call federal government that sits in Abuja. Be informed accordingly.
1
Demi Khay 🇳🇬 why are you discounting the fact that Nigeria's population is what makes its economy and all other things big. If you want to measure the richness of a country look at its GDP per capita, but obviously you don't know that. I am only here to set the record straight and to answer to those who want to belittle Kenya vis a vis Nigeria.
1
@colossal4279 get lost fool. And don't tag me again we don't know each other.
1
Facts. Such things don't impress me much. Living an ostentatious life removed from everybody else is not particularly a happy one. It only confirms disparity of wealth and unequal nature of society. Maybe just good to know how the ultra rich live and their lifestyles.
1
One thing I would give Nairobi over Jo'burg on high end, rich neighbourhoods is greenery. From these videos I don't see trees though there is lushness. In Nairobi, the rich neighbourhoods are pretty much forested in lushness and you need a drone to even see them. Apart from Waterfall which gives Beverly Hill vibes, the other estates are not that different from what I see in rich Nairobi neighbourhoods.
1
@sinabotshona7112 So world class estates only exist in SA? Do you know property prices in Nairobi are some of the most expensive in the world? When you live in your own bubbles, ignorance is the result.
1
@leomamofokeng5104 First of all, I never said Kenya's real estate is better than SA's. All I said was based on what is shown in this video, Kenya 's rich neighbourhoods have more greenery/trees and apart from Waterfall the houses aren't that dissimilar from rich people houses here in Kenya. So stop crying as if you are rich yourself or own property there, we both don't. Personally, I care less about this ostentatious living of the rich, I am just pointing out the similarities and differences and yes Kenya's real estate is hot commodity and some property prices in Nairobi are as high as anywhere else in the world.
1
@tnamr5652 Overpriced because you said so? Nairobi is nestled inland and at high altitude and in Kenya's highlands. It's nickname is the "green city in the sun", go figure. Nairobi is not Accra or Lagos that are port cities based around the ocean and sand. Actually Nairobi and Jozi are very similar in location and geography but your ignorant self believes nothing exists outside of SA in Africa. 2 years ago, the owner of this channel highlighted Nairobi real estate without the benefit of drone shots or being upclose in those neighbourhoods since they are very secured. He also did a comparison of Lagos and Nairobi real estate. For your information, some of the top neighbourhoods in Nairobi, that is, Muthaiga and Karen have 18 hole golf courses that host Kenya Open golf tournament every year and are part of European PGA tour with players from all over the world competing in it. Ignorance is no defence but a disease. Again, Nairobi property prices are some of the highest in the continent and the world.
1
@tnamr5652 If you only read to comprehend. Haven't I said based on what has been shown here? Or you are just quick to rebut? His own title says "Inside Jozi's most luxurious estates of the super rich", if you have a problem with what has been shown, take it up with him. I am only reacting to the video and nothing else.
1
@tnamr5652 Joburg is twice the size of New York but a dwarf to New York in everything, so don't even go there. Nairobi is same size as New York and its metro reaches other 4 neighbouring counties. I brought the issue of golf courses because it is also highlighted in this video for some of those neighbourhoods.
1
@tnamr5652 A rich person is rich everywhere. At the beginning of the video, Nairobi is placed fourth in the list of dollar millionaires in Africa. They can all afford the same things regardless of where they live. Based on what is shown on the video, I don't see anything particularly outstanding from what I see in rich neighbourhoods here unless you mean SA is the standard which I don't think is necessarily the case.
1
@SouthAfricaladiesfasion Pinheads who have no greymatter between their ears to counter arguments have no place to talk. Go find your match elsewhere because facts and educated opinions is not your forte!
1
@sanelemwelase It has chirping birds that wake rich people up in the morning. There's a national park within the city limits for wildlife (snakes) if you want to watch game.
1
@tnamr5652 Wisdom is to know that New York is the most significant, famous and powerful of all cities in the world alongside London. The rest is just noise.
1
@ienware I never said Nairobi is more expensive than Jozi, probably Jozi is more expensive because it has a higher reputation than Nairobi in the greater scheme of things. My point was Nairobi is a top tier city in Africa with high property prices just like Jozi. As for what it offers in quality, its pretty much the same.
1
@ienware So are you disputing that Jozi is dwarf to New York? Are you people just arguing for the sake of it or you are actually this ignorant? Yes, Jozi is a big brother to Nairobi, I have not disputed that.
1
@ienware Is richness only valued by minerals? I bet minerals market is traded at higher volumes in New York stock exchange than it is in JSE. Also value is not only in minerals but also in other things as intangible as brands. The value of NYSE is higher than the GDP of the whole America economy, go figure!
1
@morganseopa199 And what do you know about my city? Do you know it better than us and all the expatriates and multinationals that have set up base here? In that list at the start of the video where is that Mokopane? Ignorance is a disease.
1
@ienware By size it is not, Jozi is actually bigger as it is a sprawling city. Nairobi is almost same size as New York in area. But even then, Jozi can't compete with New York in anything, they should stop these jokes.
1
@SouthAfricaladiesfasion Now stay in your lane.
1
@viriacssa2003 Man made you say. Well Nairobi is natural forest, nothing man made when it comes to its trees. Also I was addressing myself to the estates/neighbourhoods depicted in the video, so I don't know why you are all in your feelings!
1
@SouthAfricaladiesfasion This is SA platform? How dumb can one be? This is Steven Ndukwu platform. It will help if you stop embarrassing yourself and parading your ignorance.
1
@sekatimangena2671 Ask Stephen Nduku to do those videos not me, I am only reacting to what is depicted in this video. His caption of the video says where the super rich live in Jozi, it is not me who has said that. I don't need to travel to see anything, I can do it comfortably in the comfort of my home through videos on social media and google map. Again, I have traveled and lived in the developed world so I know what a rich country looks like. There are rich suburbs and estates all over Nairobi with natural greenery/canopy of trees. Nairobi itself is called the green city in the sun because of its lush vegetation complete with two natural forests and a huge national park within the city limits not to mention other green spaces. I don't doubt Jozi has some of the most expensive, luxurious real estate in Africa, all I said was based on what is depicted by the video, it is not necessarily out of the league of what I see in rich areas of Nairobi. The video is also about Jozi not Cape Town and personally for me I wouldn't be interested in a city that still feels like apartheid South Africa with its clear segregation of people based on race.
1
@ntokozov8667 So what if they are 10 years old? Is what is depicted about them not factual? Stephen has teamed up with a SAn YouTuber who does real estate and I'm sure he is the one who has shown him around.
1
@sekatimangena2671 Kenyans will never be ashamed of their country, we are the most patriotic in all Africa our shortcomings notwithstanding. At least we don't live in a country where we feel like second class citizens with little ownership of the wealth. Even those expensive, luxurious suburbs are white dominated in SA. At least in Kenya, 99% of rich people in rich neighbourhoods are black Kenyans.
1
@sekatimangena6640 Jozi is also bigger than a lot of international cities more famous and richer than Jozi. After all, Nairobi metropolitan area extends to 4 neighbouring counties only that it has fixed administrative boundaries. I am only reacting to what is shown in the video as the places where the super rich live in Jozi, not my word but the channel owner.
1
@sekatimangena2671 You realise I am reacting to a video, it is not my video. As per the video, those are the estates or whatever you want to call them depicted as residences for super rich. It is not me saying that but the uploader of the video. By city size, Jozi is bigger than Nairobi but they have pretty much the same population number which means Nairobi is denser than Jozi. Jozi is a sprawling city, Nairobi is an urban core. As for the metro area, what is considered Nairobi metro in Kenya is not defined because Nairobi city which is also a county on its own, its metro region spills over to 4 other counties and taken together the 4 counties plus Nairobi has an area of 32,000 sq kilometres, roughly the size of Lesotho with 10M+ plus inhabitants.
1
@ienware They are all below New York. New York and London are he most significant cities in the world. They are both categorised as Alpha ++ global cities. Do a bit of research before having an opinion.
1
@ienware What are?
1
@ienware For me Dubai is soulless, artificial, hot and with zero greenery. Good for a quick visit only. Moscow is so cold I don't think I can live there plus it is a closed society politically speaking. Cape Town is stunning but the legacy of apartheid is too obvious plus too windy. By all standards, CT is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. But to answer your question, I still prefer my city Nairobi than all of them.
1
@ienware Yes maybe even better than you. Do you know what a legacy means?
1
@sekatimangena2671 I like imparting knowledge, curing ignorances, shedding light on nuances etc. But yes, I love and defend my country not by being necessarily partisan but factual.
1
 @tshepishochuene1280 All you have to do is search Kenya real estate and stop laughing like a pregnant Kangaroo!
1
@angiefromnairobi Why should he? I am Kenyan and he's 100% right. Our real estate can compete with some of that in SA. And the greenery in Nairobi's rich neighbourhoods beats what I have seen here. If you care to find out, the owner of this channel has done real estate in Nairobi and compared it to that of Lagos and he didn't even have the advantage of seeing the neighbourhoods upclose like he did in Jozi since most of the rich neighbourhoods don't allow flying of drones in their neighbourhoods. Check the video out instead of dismissing things off hand.
1
@viriacssa2003 Slums that also exist in SA despite all the mineral wealth. With the income/wealth inequality that is the worst in the world. Tell me another one.
1
@sekatimangena2671 Who is all Nairobians? Eish there's a whole world out there to be explored and compared with. In this era of information age, do I have to really visit a country to know how it is? Do you know there are people who will pick one country over another just on security/crime aspect alone? What has been shown in these pictures is not necessarily a preserve of SA, rich people and neighbourhoods exist everywhere.
1
@wahwah7701 You are talking of specifics and I am talking of generalities. Of course there are black SAns millionaires who have benefited through black empowerment programmes, government corruption and maybe a few from business. But majority of the millionaires and the top richest people are white SAns who are disproportionately owners of capital and wealth in SA. Majority of millionaires in Kenya are black Kenyans since there's insignificant white population in Kenya and their investments. In other words, majority of Kenyan wealth is by black Kenyans and that of SA is by white SAns.
1
@wahwah7701 Black empowerment programmes, yes. But how many people has it benefited? Isn't the ANC being accused of corruption with those BEE programmes? Fact is, it has benefited a few trusted loyals like the Motsepe's and Ramaphosa's and their cronies with the vast majority of black SAns left out. Also remember, SA economy has stagnated in the last 10 years and even regressed in the Covid years. In that same time, Kenya's economy has doubled.
1
@wahwah7701 Why is it blocking? Maybe just a network issue because I also experienced it. Was getting error message when trying to post a comment.
1
@friedafarmboys7491 Maybe you should have told me what he means by that? I'm sure you don't know what EFF's ideology is, you haven't read its manifesto and clearly you have a problem reading plain English. "White monopolistic capital" means exactly that. Take your ignorance to somebody you share the ignorance with....
1
@moetikitso72 Take these concerns to the person who recorded this video. The fact that you are even bragging about Stellenbosch and what it represents just shows what sad a society SA is. For your information, Kenya's central rift valley used to be called "white highlands" during colonial period because it offered English countryside landscape. The Kenyan highlands with its sweeping tea farms and greenery looks very much like English countryside. You can always research and look it up since you can't afford to travel. You asked who wants to come to Kenya, well millions of tourists visit Kenya every year. What Cape Town doesn't have is some of the world's best beaches with white sand and warm water that Kenya and East Africa coast has in abundance. Sit down clown!
1
@Marysmmiiith And who said we are concerned with you? If this video was not uploaded by Steven who I follow and has done a similar video about Kenya, I wouldn't be commenting here. So you expect because the video is about SA his subscribers outside of SA should not comment? Are you this dumb?
1
@nontozamoluqhide3828 You people say the dumbest things ever. There are 47 counties in Kenya, each with its own government, so you think people there live on trees?
1
@nontozamoluqhide3828 Number one in Africa on what exactly? I also know you are number one in unemployment, inequality, crime, people on grants, GBV, xenophobia etc.
1
@Justampleboy I'm glad you noticed but SAns here believe the best in Africa starts and ends with them. You are right the supporting infrastructure like access roads and orderliness seems better in SA neighbourhoods but the greenery in Nairobi is better and natural. Also places like Westlands and Upper Hill in Nairobi can rival that of Sandton and other business districts if they upgraded their infrastructure. But these people who have never left their countries live in their own bubbles.
1
@lungamadoda6992 What doesn't come close? You think what is depicted in this video is the best there is in SA? If it is, then I've seen better in Kenya.
1
@lungamadoda6992 First things first, don't call me honey, I'm not your man. Secondly, where is the infrastructure and architecture story coming in on a video about some rich people homes and their locales? If you cared to read through the thread and the comments, nowhere have I said we are more developed than SA, in fact I have conceded on that issue though that was not the point of the video. But since you want us to discuss countries, let's start with yours. SA with all its minerals and economic headstart is the most unequal country in the world, with the highest unemployment in Africa, with half of its population on government grants, with unparalleled crime and insecurity, highest gender based violence including rapes not to mention 17 years of loadshedding and counting. A country that is dominated economically and through land ownership by the white minority and a failing government in ANC. Kenya with zero minerals is the biggest economy in East and Central Africa, largest non mineral economy in Africa and its economy is largely owned by locals. Nairobi is a global city that was ranked the best in Africa and 12th in the world by expats in 2021. In the same survey Jo'burg was ranked last in Africa and 55/57 in the world, go figure! In 2024, Lonely Planet ranked Nairobi as the best city to visit in the whole world. Your ignorant selves think nothing exists in Africa outside of SA. I can tell you this for free, per capita, Kenyans are the most educated and probably more exposed than any country in Africa. You having been to Nairobi/Kenya doesn't validate or invalidate anything. I was in SA in 2011, I've lived in Australia for 5 years, been to more than 7 countries so when I write about something I know exactly what I am talking about. You can't tell me what development and infrastructure is, I've lived that life.
1
@SA_CrimeWatch Good. That's why the average black SAn is as poor as any average black African anywhere plus being second class citizens in their own country. So what exactly are you celebrating here?
1
@WNdaba Inferiority complex only exists where the majority are subjugated by the minority! Go figure!
1
@hopes9451 Address yourself to the video as I have. Whatever ANC has done is not my problem, that's for your politics and that's why you have an election coming up.
1
@Onelove-Oneheart-h4c No one cares about your feelings or what your favourite countries are. Detox your brain as well.
1
@truesouth6532 So what is your point exactly? What is so hard about addressing yourself to the video? Am I the one who made the video? Do you know Kenyan rich neighbourhoods are black unlike in SA where they are predominantly white? Do we start talking about who owns the economy in Kenya compared to SA. If we take this line of argument to its logical conclusion, black SAns will be embarrassed. So stop it.
1
@truesouth6532 You are talking of the few black elite that has benefited mostly through corruption under BEE programme? No wonder poor black SAns in their millions have rejected ANC because most of them are still trapped in abject poverty even after Apatheid. Remember you are the most unequal country in the face of the earth and with the highest unemployment in Africa even when you scream SA is rich. Black SAns need a reality check and not ride on riches that is domiciled in white minority hands.

Lol, should we also look away when we are at home in Amboseli with the best views of the mountain that was stolen from us and given to Tanzania? Toa Bongolala hapa aisee....
1
 @tanzanite9944 Why do you think it is called Mt Kenya? Kilimanjaro is near Kenya than it is for the most part of Tanzania. Mlima iko kwenye border bongolala wewe.
