I am a Christian, but only one thing makes me want to become a Muslim. HONESTY. The Somalis of Eastleigh are very honest

What i appreciate is eastliegh was started as a refugee hub for somalis. But instead of the place being turned into a slum, the somalis turned it into one of the most successful business hubs in Africa. Show me anywhere in the world where refugees turned their settlement into such a luctrative hub. Am not sure whether its true but there are figues thrown around that the money floating around in eastliegh is 600m dollars a month. Not sure whether these figures are correct anyhow just look at the construction of new buildings coming up. You just dont build such without massive amount of money flowing into the place.

Dude where did you get this from?.. Eastleigh was never a refugee camp. It was an area designated for Indians back in the day
One thing that stands out with Somali;arabs etc it's the unity they have as family or as a community and honesty in business they never try to outshine each other. And same with most of Indians family businesses thrive. Alot to learn from them

Masha’Allah! This was an amazing segment. Much love and respect to my Somali brothers and sisters as well as my brothers and sisters in humanity.
The government should improve the infrastructure in Eastleigh
The government should invest a lot in terms of infrastructure cause they’re getting a junk of money through taxes.
Masha allah Somalians are very successful smart people let's keep doing brothers and sisters love From Dharjaale City Somalia
Eastleigh is the surest place in Nairobi. I have been living since 2019, it is stable and cheaper than other markets you can get anything you want The business of Eastleigh is based on the trust of each other and that's how they built a strong economy and reliable market.
All the respect and appreciation Mash" Allah to Ahmed Sheikh. Hope to meet you Sir, when I'll traveling soon to Kenya, especially since I'll be marrying my beautiful Arab-Somali Wife, (born in Kenya).
This sustainable business system needs to be duplicated throughout Africa.
It was( kirimino) not to mention the famous the mother of all malls in Eastleigh..Garissa lodge which was the only one then..and focal point for all shoppers...otherwise the business community is doing great job where county and national govt has failed. including security, cleanliness, bearing in mind the huge taxes they collect in that small area. .

Trading is somali's DNA and long history of business transmitted from horn of africa to different locations in the world wide like old persions or indians
Thanks for this valuable info. Thanks to Eastleigh business community leaders for their efforts.
Masha’Allah! May Allah continue to have Mercy on us, continue to Protect us, continue to Forgive us, continue to Guide us, and continue to Bless us.
OK. Hi, everyone! This is Rafael and actually, I'd like to say that following into Business and management, this video it's a starting point for me, by when I'll be going to Kenya think also register our business company. Why?, Cuz actually what I found out and it's so important in business and development of any community, is the UNITY. So, I'd like to check on and possibly meet some of the Businessmen in this video to talk about. A wonderful Video and Documentary about the ES and Business in Nairobi. Thanks, and see u soon! Rafael,
Now indulge the national and county governments on creating worldclass road networks, and pavements, great waste management systems and relocate the hawkers.
Eastleigh is blessed. Everybody gets his/her bread. The goverment should done it part, modernize sewage and clean roads etc.

This is well done. Keep it going. That business community should lobby the govt to improve the infrastructure there. New sewer lines ought to be done projecting double the current residency rate. Pipe in more water, repair roads and clean up the area. KRA stands to benefit more as are ordinary folks. I haven't visited Eastleigh in 20+ years but will make a point to. Used to shop there back in my high school and Uni days.

Tell Ahmed Sheikh Abdullahi to spend and clean up Eastleigh. There are hundreds of millions if not billians of dollars in EastIeight but when you go it is very dirty. It is very shameful that they watch such a situation. Collect money from business, build the roads, clean the drains and build pavements and make the area a world class business district.
