There is no going back now for Kenyans in the UK.The cost of living in Nairobi has escalated to astronomical heights.Realistically you would IMO need at least 10 million or £100,000 to set yourself up initally.Even a flat in a decent area that cost 6 Million a year ago now costs 9 Mill.Factor in the cost of living and suddenly you need a huge monthly income.The alternative is of course adapting and adjusting to a lower standard of living,initially with family and investing slowly.Speak to as many people as possible that have just come back to get a wide variety of views.Good luck.I myself am leaving London this year and boy does my heart and body feel lighter as i think of the brown earth of back home,the fruit and veg in the markets,the hawkers selling flowers near sarit,the view over athi plains,driving down to the Rift and seeing the plains.It may not be perfect but it is home.Its also funny but when i go home i dont spend so uch time on the internet,perhaps because people out there are not so lonely.Anyway i have digressed.Good luck again. |
