Kenya will treat well if you have money. Otherwise you find quickly like the Burundians.😂😂
People are forgetting once they startt making comparison about what things cause in different country the prices will go UP, it happened in the Gambia, Bali, Ghana etc foreigners CANNOT stop talking online about prices usually let greedy landlord get greedier.
This so amazing thanks for sharing your story .
Karibu Kenya.
This is really spacious. Where is this apartment?
HELL TO THE NO 👉 TO AFRCIA 😁🙄🤷♀️😪
450 is even too much unless u want luxury
African Veto Power or leave immediately because non black africans father should decide how our future children should live.<br>What happening to African Leaders? And why are you there?<br>Ruto selling lands to Israel why not to kenyans youth to take over what belongs to them?up lift
We need more African Americans to come invest in Africa. If Europeans, Chinese, Indians, and Pakistanis can come and thrive, why not our own brothers and sisters? The caveat is that they must manage their expectations and learn the local culture and even language. Many African Americans that become disillusioned and leave in frustration, show up expecting to continue their American way of life. We are very young and still developing as "nations" and democracies, and haven't quite gotten everything in order, YET. Welcome and be part of the journey!
Nairobi was build by British colonies in the mid of the Savannah jungle..

with the amount you are paying.....i suggest you buy a house in runda or spring valley...
This is bad
Amazing couple, great attitudes, and very business Savvy, we are lucky to have them here, more great minds to help us build this lovely country.
No winter. Nairobi can be warm, mostly cold around June -August, but not hot = perfect weather. Keep growing; all the best.
Yup....y'all welcome back HOME 🎉🎉🎉🎉 we missed yah😊.
Perhaps they own their place. Rents for a decent studio apartment are around $1000 in Kenya.
Very good story BUT I wish BLACK AMERICANS in America could also treat black immigrants with the same kindness like the way we treat them when they come to Africa.....
The house is so clean and we'll put together. ❤ I hear the mosquitos that manage to get in there identity as butterflies.
God i hope all the blacks move back to africa
Karibu Kenya 🇰🇪 ❤️
I am glad I found this video. I’ve been thinking of relocating my family to Africa but battled between Johannesburg and Kent. Our biggest issue is we have daughter with high functioning autism which we homeschool right now. And our other daughter was just diagnosed (10) with Autism she goes to school full time. So this is amazing to hear how welcoming Kenya is and caring for children with Autism. Wow
Caribbean people killing it.
It is great to see Kenya welcoming more expats,,, the decision you made coming to Kenya is very wise
I loved the animations I saw your team working on.What can we expect to see from the project, and what makes it different from other children’s animations?
Investing in Africa is a wise thing
Africa is home. Let's develop our dear continent together. We belong here where everyone feels equal ❤❤❤
We're glad you came here 😊 .karibu Kenya ❤
What's the animation playing at the start on the TV?
Waaait Waaait Waaait minute 38.51 ,,am an upcoming anime creator can I get insights on how your team got that?
WELCOME HOME ❤❤❤
Welcome to Magical Kenya 🇰🇪
Beautiful couple, and a beautiful story. Much success to them in Kenya. Btw I like the voice over narration. Please continue to keep that up in these vlogs. <br>Thank you for posting! ❤🎉❤🎉🇰🇪🌍
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BddyW-PHeJw">https://youtu.be/BddyW-PHeJw?si=kS_jPN_h9lGMkrwX</a><br>God bless! Rescue her from Jihan Sheriff. I believe she should have her own YouTube channel so she can help her family more. She is a good soul, singer and seamstress. I’m in America and I watch these channels. Most of them are just heartbreaking. They never received the money from the channel or very very little. God always has a purpose. I came across your channel and subscribed. Can’t wait to see more ❤God bless
for 1800<br>I had all that in the states but I like you all spot.
I go to Kenya at least once a year for the past 4 years, I'll be back end of year. Everywhere has its ups and downs. Nothings perfect, but Nairobi... could be close for me, kidogo pole pole sana. Naipenda sana sehemu hiyo. Also learning Swahilie passively with every visit
Shout out to the Oakley family and Kenya. As a South African have nothing but love for Kenya, but beg AA to stop comparing Kenya vs South Africa. I know its tempting, but is always come with a subtle bad taste. SA Ms Oakley is full of culture and we have less English-like attitutude than Kenya, I know because I was there.<br>For example SA usually carry their african names primarily whilst many Kenyans love to have their English name first (which is fine, its choice and culture). We celebrate our diversity of our ethnicities e.g. this month of Sept we´ll have our heritage day where everyone shows up in dress, food, and etc celebrating his coutlure at work and beyond. <br>Our TV programs, series, comdies, etc all run in our local langauges. Our #1 music hits are in Zulu, Tswana,Xhosa etc NOT in English. We learn our local languages home and in school fluently etc. Are proud of our shades of brown/black. (Un)fortunately we have nothing so much to do with the Mzungus as you might suspect and most important whites have no provileges here (we do not roll white carpets for them like elsewhere in Africa) . if you forgot Trump and Musk are accusing us of discriminating whites jsut bc we refuse to give them any privilege. We don´t need their dollars or Euros. if they come as human and with humility they are welcome, otherwise they feel the heat. <br>92% of SA is non white btw, jstu for the records and Joburg is the place to be if you want to make it happen. That being said, Nairobi is an amazing place, amazing people and for sure we are distant cousins who can and will benefit from each other. Prices in Kenya are for sure higher than in SA mostly (food, housing, schooling) while the infrastructure is way behind but coming up. On talents Kenya is hot, SA is hot but do not brag too much about it (just check what SA artists from movie to art to music are currently doing and our tech is more diversified but Kenya is doing a great marketing job and I am happy for them). Teh opps are in both countries. There is no rivalry here (Kenya mostly rivals with Tanzania not SA). We are same but different in a good way. Enjoy and stop comparing liek you say this sister is better than this sister, its simply not true even on your own case its not I intimately know both countries so I can, as an african who has also visited US more than one time, tell the more realistic view on the topic that many ppl need to know.<br>The best way is to visit both, take your time, mignle with locals and do not trust social media only - its a great investment of your time and future!
It looks to me that the black diaspora has been squeezed to squash out there.<br><br>I understand it somehow..I belong to a "large" family, 20-30 siblings..at least 3 mothers. 16 sisters, 15 brothers. Real, solid and consequential. <br><br>Where I was born, it was normal. I have another "large" family, over 10 children.<br><br>I know what I know. <br><br>In my book, one can either create and nurture a family or not. There is a bad space in the middle..Single parenting, 1 or 2 delicate "egg" offspring, etc..not good for humanity, not at all.
Kenya 🇰🇪 is beautiful you are all welcome ❤
No but why did my island 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 Jamaica catch a stray for🤔🤔🤔🤔
Mnatoka US kuja kuishi kilimani na westi badala mwende ushago🤷♀
As a kenyan living in Texas..your journey inspires me! ❤❤❤. Enjoy motherland fam!
As a Kenyan American citizen! I like to see Americans enjoy Kenya 🇰🇪to the fullest as they actualize their dreams in Africa ! You can make your dream come true away from America without STRESS as you enjoy Kenya 🇰🇪 serenity and that’s the beauty of Kenya 🇰🇪! <br><br>Let your dreams shine so bright in Africa !
Get the kiddo camel milk. It helps with the symptoms of Autism.
Beautiful Couple 🙌🏿🫶🏾
Karibu nyumbani ❤
Welcome home!
I lived in Ghana , West Africa for 4 years.Reality will hit you. I love my husband and his country, but money can draw many people of disreputable. There are problems everywhere I discovered.
Welcome home ❤
Karibu Kenya 🇰🇪✌🏼the pearl of Africa 💫 ❤ ⭐️
Good to see black families thriving
I’m feeling like the kids are being allowed to wild out at the mall and such because they are expats who look ready to spend money.
It depends on where you live in the states , in the Texas area I’m looking out to beautiful sunsets , wide open fields / modern homes .
In America , the ready yo prescribe drugs ,then they wonder why so much drug addiction , because it starts from small . Every thing is a pill .
Excellent success story 👏 👍
Im looking for FBAs in the comments 😃
What a wonderful couple. Karibuni Kenya 💕
You Should Be Here !
Welcome to 🇰🇪
NAIROBI is such a beautiful World class City !!!!!! ✓✓✓
That is one beautiful home. I'm curious to know the location❤
Pick your dystopia. Here there, wherever you feel comfortable.
Welcome to motherland. Help to build our continent.
Can you ask your interviewee about buying a house or building one instead of renting, that's alot of money as a starter, you need to build your own house rather than renting such expensive unit. Can you include such question. Do they have motivation to cut cost and build a house??
Africa is yours and no one can take from you....Welcome home brothers
I have met people ,, but none like thee “Oakley’s”. <br>I’d simply put it as Kenya is lucky to have you. I am blessed to have an encounter with them. <br>This family is a blessing to Kenya🇰🇪
The struggle is real wherever you live in the world, but in Africa & the Carribbean especially JA there's no racial anxiety. Everyone looks like they can be your family 🤗
the truth you dont tell people - how will you earn a living while living there? there are no jobs in Kenya.
i gat plans for Nairobi
We the black indiginous africans are not waiting on Nobody but to do it ourself. So any feels you belongs to us ALKEBULAN EDDEN OF GARDEN CHILD come Join us now. You are Welcome with Clean Hearts and join the selfs development african states
Dont like the laclk of trancparency on the expence to move thier belonging from the usa
Thank You
One thing i notice about a lot of these videos are that it's black people that were successful in the states and have the means. If you're just getting by and struggling in the states you're not gonna make it in Africa.
Yes my daughter was autistic and when we came to Kenya she had a shadow teacher with her throughout and she did super well! The kids also were more than glad to help her out play with her and teach her things. She’s now 20 .
wait, "kush" is a slang term for kenyan shillings? I had no idea
Kenya will benefit alot with such expats moving in. Welcome home
Hey guys can you assist me with help and info how to move ?
Hey,whatever works for people,I say go for it! They've been together for a long time and made that decision together. Their place is beautiful and very large. The price is great!<br>That view!!💯
The narrator is annoying, she should do less talking
They will adapt easily in Kenya because they are humble and got a positive mindset. This is definitely my favourite episode. One thing about this couple is they are very mature
Who cares 🤦♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️am coming back to my country.period after 30 yrs married in Germany🇰🇪🇩🇪 that money 1.800 dollars is a lot of moni everything🤦♀️😈😈😈the owner is evil
❤❤❤
For the Americans $1800 for that apartment is on the high end. They’re definitely overpaying. <br>While its a beautiful place. I can guarantee only foreigners who dont know better are paying that price. <br><br>Before you move any place spend 6 months there. Find a local who has a good job, and thats your resource. Stay in a decent Airbnb and find the resident thats going to work. <br><br>I lived in San Francisco paying $2600 for studio. Everything is cheaper. But you can really live well here. I dont want the people to be misinformed.
It was a pleasure relocating this family to Kenya, and we're happy they're building a successful life in Kenya.
We're glad to have you here. 💯
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🏆👑🫡
Now you’re YouTubers lololol. You were the incapable people.
Welcome back Home Karibu Kenya 🫡🫶🏽🇰🇪n shout out to Traverze Culture…🫡@Kea🫶🏽🇰🇪🫶🏽🇯🇲🫡
There are 55 Countries in the Continent each with different vibe, massive Continent with 1.20 Billions People. Any black American entrepreneur can make it big. If Indian, European, Chinese, Lebanese, Syrian that end up adapting and the make big. African Continent is the future. I have no doubt, we might have our Challenge but we had tremendous progress, since independent, by picking up the piece. Many Countries where left struggling, after long years of Slavery, follow by Colonialism, follow by instigating Wars of Cold War. follow by neo colonialism. follow by African resisting western domination, by all mean like what is currently happening in Sahel Countries alliance. Our future is bright.
Woods😂😂😂😂😂😂
Any country you move to in Africa, you have to add to the country - not just take and be entitled. It's important to have vision like this beautiful couple.
How do you leave a money making company in the hands of people that was inexperienced and incompetent...but completely dissolves in 7 to 8 months is even more Crazy. You monitor your company like you are there physically in the same room with the one you left in <a href="http://charge.you/">charge.You</a> electronically sign every check going out or coming <a href="http://in.you/">in.You</a> have Checks & Balances in place.
It is encouraging to see black people from diaspora come ,add value to the continent.... they're welcome,more love.
This is the way✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
VA!!
Your child Austic ? Get to Jay the Behaviour Analyst . He is an Africa - American who was here in Kenya but went to Texas US perhaps on Holidays and will be back. He is a specialist on Austic Children and has a clinic in the US and wanted to open one here in Nairobi. His Youtube name Jay the Behaviour Analyst.
Does he know about the Slums?
They should spend day with Jim Nduruchi
Their Company COLLAPSED?
When our Balack American brothers and sisters come back home to their roots, this satisfies my Spirit. Im sure this is what their ancestors could want
