I am a British born and raised Ethiopian who moved to Addis 3 years ago with my young family. Compared to life in London it’s in many ways a huge step up with some sacrifices of course. I’m now typing this from Nairobi, Kenya where I am actively working on a move to Nairobi and you have pretty much summed up in your two videos why. Nairobi and Kenya in general is pretty much everything I wished Addis could be. Especially in terms of accessibility of goods and services, utilities and infrastructure etc. I’ve seen massive improvements in many things in Addis in my time there but honestly until Ethiopia starts opening up to foreign companies to compete and drive up standards, it’s just not there yet. I still love Ethiopia and Addis has been so amazing for me and my family but the pride in Ethiopians literally blocks growth. The last few years I’ve been able to see massive improvements in Addis and I think that in the next 10 years (if we can stop with the silly ethnic nonsense) we will see Addis rise to be a champion on the continent. Owned by Africans. Thanks for the vid.

I'm an Ethiopian who grew up in Kenya. Almost 20 years ago I left Kenya, at 18 years old, to move to the States. None of the countries are perfect but Kenya remains my favorite country to this day and hope to go back to the country that raised me. I love Ethiopia too...but the political and tribal climate....not so much.

As a Somali-British individual who has had the opportunity to experience both Nairobi and Addis Ababa, it is noteworthy to express that Nairobi stands out for its openness and rich cultural diversity. Nairobi, as a city, embraces a cosmopolitan atmosphere that fosters inclusivity, and its diverse cultural landscape contributes to a vibrant and dynamic environment. The city's appeal lies not only in its modern infrastructure but also in the harmonious coexistence of various communities, making it a compelling choice for those appreciating an open and culturally diverse urban setting. Kenya❤ ❤Nairobi

I have lived in both cities. I am actually in Nairobi at the moment. I will say I always liked Addis Ababa more. Kenyans are way more friendly than Ethiopians though.

Dope. Personally i have never been in Addis but i have been in Dar es Salaam,Kampala and kigali but i prefer Nairobi
-
I loved part 2, just as much as part 1. Thank you for opening our eyes and ears to the reality of both these two mega cities.

Thank you for being honest and telling us the truth.❤❤

Great comparison yet again.

Having been to both cities, I agree 100% with what you said. I think you should have also included 1) Internet/wifi/hotspot. It was quite a struggle in Addis to send even a modest file over an email or reliably hold a video call. Coverage is always spotty and in many cases non-exist. It's difficult to compare Nairobi to Addis, as Kenya I think is positioning itself as middle-economy nation, whereas Ethiopia is at the very bottom in most rankings. 2) Language. Kenya has the highest English fluency in all of Africa (yes they do measure those sorts of things) while hardly anyone speaks good/okay English in Ethiopia.

Thank you for your impartiality and objectivity. We lack most of both, in our continent. As an Arab-African, even though we're all brothers and sisters in Africa, still have some emotional connections with Hebsesha is there. Simply, Yeah, Nairobi ticks a lot more boxes when it comes to the quality of life. Thanks for touching on the social fabric. Great content and keep posting.

Nice to see you back again. Hopefully next time you can show us more historical places in Ethiopia.
