Village to town tv that was a very nice view of Kiambu town ❤..Kiambu town smells money and riches when you land there ..Good job mr lonely traveler 🇰🇪🫡
Thank you
Yeah, Kiambu town has just developed along the road which I believe is as a result of poor planning which is the case in most towns in Kenya including Nairobi itself. In my opinion, I think Kiambu town has been over-rated, coz you cannot compare Kiambu town to other towns like Thika town. That was a very informative video Mr lone traveller, really enjoyed it.
Thank you, great thoughts.
Thanks a lot for showing us this part of the Mountain region. It is so green and not congested. It also seems to be clean.
My pleasure 😊
Kiambu was initially named for a man called Mbu, who was a son of Metumi. His family, Mbari ya Mbu settled in the area after the Agikuyu crossed the Chania River. It was thereafter named Kiambuu, although Mbari ya Mbu was later displaced by various conflicts, and they later settled in Thindigua
Ala, what a histrory! Never had that version, very interesting
Not really Kiambu was named Kia_ mbù ( Place of screams). This is because they bordered the maasai(Ukabì) who used to ululate when stealing cows . Hence Kikuyus named the place Kia_ mbù.
@@petergithua5964 that's the problem with oral history.It changes from one person to another.WE MIGHT NEVER KNOW THE ORIGIN OF KIAMBU, AS LONG AS WHATEVER SAID CANNOT BE SUPPORTED BY OFFICIAL DOCUMENTED SOURCES
@@VillagetotowntvAs long as it's not documented, don't trust the source.Oral history changes from one person to the other
.True
We have refused to modernize our minds. We need to embrace the small shopping centres by giving them infrastructure to grow them as opposed to debates about moving hospitals and prisons yet it is our planning that is missing out.
I agree!
Thanks for touring kiambu town....
Our pleasure!
great work highly informative
Glad you liked it
i love the greenery in kiambu
Very nice
Nice work. Githogoro is not in Kiambu county and grew in size during the construction of two rivers mall. The slum was very vibrant during the construction. After the construction was done, poverty has reigned UpTo to this day.
Thank you, you sound very informed about the area
Tell us which county is githogoro.....
@@rosamariewanjiru8659 Nairobi County
It is in nairobi county,within Runda@@rosamariewanjiru8659
@iglesiaswilliams7161 oh. My bad. Anyway kiambu town is a growing slum itself, we don't need another slum to our name. Thanks for educating me
Nice job showing more of kiambu👌
More to come!
Thanks alot for your effort to get us to learn about our villages and towns, your cameras/videos are always not very clear. Please check if the car windshield is clean or......?.kindly accept my apology if my comments is not welcome .
So nice of you..I will try my best
Amazing content
Thank you
Thanks so much for this very informative video 👍🏾. Kudos! Please please show us Riuki Town, I grew up there and haven't been there in so long, it's not far from Kiambu town. Thank you and God bless you. I've liked and subscribed.
Will do! Very soon we are moving Northward
I attended KIST back in 09/2010 good ol days😊
Good old days I tell you!
Niliishi hapa for 2 months during my my medical rotation,I didn’t like the place , it was so crowded especially evenings,, the town is concentrated along the road, the more you go deep the poor it gets
Thanks
You missed a very important feature of kiambu town KIST meaning Kiambu Institute of Science and Technology
too bad they were renovating around the gate, I could not enter
Am a subscriber here and I've noticed your camera is fixed and only shows only foward.I think your camera should be able to capture sides too as you move
Sure, am working on that. Thank you
How do you do that while alone and driving?
This is my home town. The first one.
You have a beautiful home town
👊
Next go to lower kabete, wangige and so on.
Up Next....Stay tuned
KIAMBU TOWN IS CLEAN THOUGH THE REAL ESTATES ARE INEQUITABLY DISTRIBUTED SINCE DEVELOPMENT SPRAWL IS MAINLY ESTABLISHED ALONG THE TARMAC.
You are a sharp observant. Thank you
I have lived in Nairobi for so long and have never been to Kiambu cause I fear my neck can be cut. Thanks for showing us how it looks. am surprised it looks more developed than Thika town
Our pleasure!
Neck cut for what, kiambu is a rich place no one needs your neck
@@KIM-xl6zs If you follow this channel closely you ll realize in some areas in Kiambu women vs men ratio is the highest in this country, why? ladies cut off their spouses neck to inherit wealth, work done by courtesy wanugu, rasta, wacucu and their company
@@kajairokajairo2271 I live in kiambu, my investments are in kiambu, sasa wewe unajua nini, kikuyu lands are matriarchal, so you just saw statistics and thought our women chop off heads of their men, you hear of one or two incidents and claim its the obvious, our women are enterprising, we are good at business, that's why all of you want to settle near our areas, if kiambu closes its borders to Nairobi, Nairobi is dead, we have everything we need here
@@KIM-xl6zs Yeah I don't know about Kiambu, Its the second richest after Nairobi and it would actually be first if the crime rate would reduce, insecurty sends away investors.
Just a few brave people like you are the ones investing in Kiambu
Most big cities have prisons in down towns. Infact even courts are within the complex where prisoners are locked up, so there is no need of transportation of prisoners to attend court cases. If the planners and policy formulaters are forward looking ,they shouldn't bicker over moving the hospital else but they shuld look for elsewhere most suitable to start another kiambu town.
Am sure most Kenyan policymakers' interests to move these facilities out of town to capitalize on the land's value. Pure greedy
@@Villagetotowntv so true, it seems Almighty blessed Africans with almost everything but cursed them with leadership, a political leadership that most often never use that which between the ears but their bellies when managing state matters.
mr lone traveller himself
Kabisa!!
I think the upcoming slums are as a result of expensive apartments being built everywhere. Where do developers want the poor to go? back to the village? No way. Anywy, a very informative video, Kudos!
Sure, Thank you
BUILDINGS IN THE OLD KIAMBU TOWN SHOULD BE REFURBISHED BY REPAINTING
Thank you
I grew up in Kiambu old town, and I cannot help but notice how government land has been grabbed and developed into private apartments.
And then, since the said land is grabbed by Kiambu tycoons, when the Government wants to recover, the same grabbers start to say" the Kikuyus are being finished ". Shame on them and " Shindwe Katika Jina la Yesu ".
They don't consider pedestrians or cyclists on those roads is awful
Very unfortunate
Kiambuu is not a town. It's the quickest growing slum a long a shabby road
Hahha, be nice!
@Villagetotowntv what do you expect from a place where people vote for waititu as their governor. I was ashamed after visiting machakos town. A well planned and organized town. Compare machakos with kiambuu,a town that once had coffee dollars raining from its sky. Did you know back In the late seventies, old kiambuu cou County could give aid to Tanzanian government? Those were the days the county listened to their literate sons. Nowadays mama sokos decides who leads. Ugly
You should have given us the history of this disgraceble name Kia Mbu -The place where people wail in disgrace.
The history is there, watch the entire clip buana
It's no kiambu. It's kiambuu
