It must have been a paradise before the came. I mean imagine Nairobi as this vast green land with all this rivers running through them. And at a close proximity. Like a fairytale garden. But whoever filmed this, did a good job. I can imagine the next century people being shown Nairobi as it is now.

I was born in the U.S in 1970 and moved back to Kenya at age 5. We lived in a highrise flat in Lowerhill overlooking a drive- in cinema, which we never went to but we would instead occasionally go to Fox drive- in on Thika rd. We'd get fresh bread from a bakery in Westlands

I was born and spent my early childhood at Parkland's railway quaters in the early 70's. This is the nairobi i remmeber! So many fond memories. There was this arab guy who used to sell cloth fabrics on his motorbike, and this other guy who you could hear shout from miles 'mandebe!' meaning he was collecting empty bottles for resale :D So much order then unlike the deathtraps in high-rises that replaced sprawling neighbourhoods all thanks to kidero and Sonko 🤬
