Reason why USA firms prefer hardworking Kenyans

Reason why USA firms prefer hardworking Kenyans

Anybody still wondering why top of the notch blue chip corporates like Vodacom Tz are insisting on being led by Kenyans?
---------------------------------------------------------------
Kenyan immigrants working in the United States have been ranked the third most industrious foreigners.
Kenyan workers scored 73.4 per cent to emerge third in the list of the hardest and most skilled immigrant groups in the US, according a 2018 report by Bloomberg.
The research ranks Ghanaians and Bulgarians at positions one and two, with 75.2 per cent and 74.2 per cent, respectively.
Other African countries that feature in the report's top 10 are Ethiopia (4th), Egypt (5th), Nigeria (8th) and Liberia (9th).
This makes Africans in general the most productive immigrants in the US ahead of those from Mexico and Central America, who constitute more than 70 per cent of foreign nationals in that country.
“If we want more highly skilled and hardworking English-speaking immigrant obviously the place to go for them is Africa,” Bloomberg journalist Justin Fox, who came up with the report, said.
The report, developed from the 2016 US Census Bureau American Community Survey, also indicates that Kenya is among the African countries with the highest number of immigrants studying and working in the US.
According to the report, Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria and Nepal have the highest number of citizens pursuing higher education in the US after Saudi Arabia.
The report put the number of Kenyans who legally live and work in the US at 120,000.`
The Bloomberg report came three months after a survey by the Central Bank of Kenya indicated that Kenyans living and working abroad remitted a record Ksh64.5 billion ($645 million) between January and March 2018.
This is almost a 50-per-cent rise from the Ksh43.4 billion ($434 million) that the diaspora community sent home in the same period in 2017.
Deportations
But ironically, the report comes on the backdrop of President Donald Trump administration’s continued crackdown on illegal immigrants, including Kenyans.
Last year more than 100 Kenyans were deported from US— a sharp increase since Trump assumed power on January 20, 2017.
The rise— from 63 in 2016 to 103 last year— reflects an overall increase in deportation of Africans.
A relative of Devolution Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa is one of the Kenyans who was to be deported from the US in April after his appeal for political asylum was denied.
Dr Mzenga Aggrey Wanyama, who has been teaching at Augsburg University in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and his wife Mary Namalwa Mzenga, had attracted huge support as they faced deportation from a country they have lived in for 25 years.
“Well, what can I do? If they want me to buy my own ticket, I will do that,” he told the Minneapolis-based StarTribune newspaper in March this year.
Dr Wanyama told the publication that he had resigned to the deportation as ordered by the Trump administration.
His expulsion was later suspended by authorities after he lodged an appeal.
Dr Wanyama first entered the US in 1992 as a non-immigrant exchange visitor.

This is one of those capitalistic propagandas. If Kenyans are such hard working people that the US firms prefer them how come Indians, Arabs and Somalis own more than 20 pct of your economy? theeastafrican.co.ke, central bank of Kenya, Bloomberg? You can write a longer thread and it'll be shite if it comes from the east African.

The monkey will always choose banana over shs 1'000/-.
Likewise for kenyans who feel proud to work hard in others countries (for a peanut) than working in their own country Kenya.

Wachapa kazi kwa faida ya nchi yetu
- Waliopo ndani wamefanya makubwa na kuizidi nchi yenu kwa mbali
- Waliopo nje wanaongoza ukanda huu kwa diaspora remittances, sio kama nyie wazamiaji mnaobeba mabox huko nje hamna chochote mnarejesha kwenye nchi.

Because we have an open policy, sio wa kufungiwa ndani kwa majungu kama nyie, tunaruhusu kila mtu aje na kuwekeza, hata Wachagga wamejaa huku wanafanya makubwa.

We unajifanya hamnazo, hivi hiyo mishahara mikubwa unaongelea kwa exchange rate au kwa kusustain maisha yake, so kwa akili yako ya kiutuuzima unafananisha na cost of living ya hapo kwenu Kenya na ya USA, kule rent ni kama mshahara wako wote wa mwezi, kuna bills nyingi mno, hiyo unayoona high salary kwa huyo citizen kwake ni barely enough.

Tusidanganyane ndugu yangu. Marekani unapoenda huko halafu ukataka kuishi kama wao basi utaumia. Huwezi enda huko halafu akaamua kununua gari, fridge, ukaanza kulipa mortgage kisha ufikiri kuwa utabakisha pesa ya kutuma nyumbani. Ukiwa huko ni sharti ukumbuke kuwa uko kwenye nchi ya wenyewe na lazima ubane matumizi yako ili uweze kujenga nyumba nyumbani na kuwasomesha ndugu na dada zako.

Itabidi uziunganishe Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda ndio zitoshane na Tanzania.
Kenya, zaidi ya nusu yake kame tupu lakini ndio inaongoza ukanda wote kiuchumi, tusingekua watu wa kujituma hii haingewezekana.
Tanzania ambayo ni kubwa kiasi cha hadi uunganishe nchi zote hizo ndio zitoshane nayo, actually Tanzania ni muungano wa nchi mbili, ina madini, gesi, vivutio bora vya utalii zaidi ya nchi zote Afrika, ardhi yenye rotuba kila mahali na mengine mengi lakini ndio maskini balaa, yaani ukanda wote huu Tanzania ndio nchi inaongoza kwa raia wake kuwa omba omba kwa nchi majirani

La hasha, kumbuka unaweza fanya kazi mbili au tatu kwa siku. Kazi moja itakuwa inakupea mshahara wa kutosha kulipa rent na kununua chakula.Kazi ya pili na ya tatu inaweza kuwa savings. Unasema rent ni pesa nyingi, nimekuambia usiende kwa wenyewe ukataka kuishi kama wao, utaumia. Tafuta chumba kimoja yaani single room kwa motel na hio ni bei nafuu. Mahali kama new york nenda kaishi mahali masikini wenzako wanaishi.Unaweza panda metro au train ikakuleta hadi downtown unapofanya kazi. Metro ni bei nafuu.Makosa ni wewe kujifanya unataka kuishi maisha ya watu middle class kama tuseme queens new york, hutaweza.

No way. Mtu akiwa Afrika inamchukuwa miaka zaidi ya kumi ya kufanya kazi ya 9 to 5 ili anunue shamba na ajenge nyumba na pia awasomeshe ndugu na dada zake. Huko Marekani inachukua miaka tatu au nne na mtu anakua ameshajipanga kimaisha. Jambo lingine, hapa Afrika unapopigwa kalamu kupata kazi nyingine ni balaa sana. Marekani kazi ni nyingi kushinda wasakaji. Watoto wa 16 years wanafanya kazi. Illegal immigrants wanafanya kazi. Watu wengi wa mkono wana kazi mbili ama tatu na inalipa vizuri. Kama nilivyosema awali, mbona usifanye kazi ya kijungujiko Marekani kwa miaka minne tu kisha urudi Afrika na kuishi maisha bila tabu. Infact unaweza rudi Afrika na ukawaajiri hawa wanaopiga domo domo hapa Jf

Open policy or laziness? You are the only capitalist country not making serious progress economically. When you feel insecure you ask for the Americans to lend you a shoulder, so pathetic. Just own it, be sad pick yourselves up and move on. Tanzania is giving you nightmares, you'll learn to live with it.

Research yangu nimeifanya through life experience. Sawa endelea kuamini ulichokaririshwa na CCM eti Tanzania ndio nchi ya asali na maziwa. Ukweli ni kwamba Afrika hakuna pesa. Watu kama 30% ndio wanaenjoy maisha Afrika
 
Hardwork and Tanzanians is one of the best oxymoron I know.
