Commuting...............Mobile Madness!

My first visit to Nairobi years back as l came to spend my 3weeks Christmas vacation. On my first morning in Nairobi, l boarded the Matatu, crazy experience l must say! 

My Neighbours, Mutual Strangers!

One thing l have learnt very soundly living here is, Mind your own life! l cannot even recognize the face of a fellow resident on the same floor of the apartment building where l live, should l meet her on the road and we have been neighbours for over 7 months!  No be me cause am!

Getting around food.

ln the past one week, it has been raining on daily basis here in Nairobi and other parts of the Country, glad l have been working indoors and consuming lots of tea! l have gradually become Kenyan as my body now craves for tea even after having a delicious meal of okro soup and wheat for supper!

Earning a living

It is not easy consistently earning a living in a foreign but being creative helps you out. Since you do not possess a business permit which allows you to own and run a business. 

Shopping for your new home

After paying for your new space and you have access to it, you need to fix the place up.

Housing

 

House rent is being paid monthly as against annually or 2 years for a new tenant back  in Nigeria. For a new tenant all that is required is a month rent, a month deposit and 2500Ksh($28) for electricity deposit.

Arrival

On arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport Nairobi, you are shown where you will fill the immigration form and pay the $50 If you have not done so in Nigeria,

Flight

                       

Factors are considered in choosing a particular airline to fly. Let us be honest, the cost of the flight ticket is the KEY FACTOR. Truth be told, why not save a few thousands if you can. Almost all international airlines operating in Nigeria have flights to Nairobi, Kenya but the cheapest of them is between Ethiopian Airline and Rwanda Air though at times Kenyan Airways do come close.
