Could you help us with the low quality "best/classiest afordable" ugly houses in Kigali posts guy? There's a real estate sub for that, it always looks like he's just spamming these posts. The pictures look like they were shared too many times, so they aren't his.
I'm sure there are people who'd be happy to help with modding and handle these kinds of situations. All you have to do is ask. u/diddy1
Look at that CEILING ! why don't people want to do a simple ceiling like this ? i get it if you are going to live in the house but wanting to sell those atrocious fancy ceilings is just wild to me.
they got to bathroom and they did too much,so many colors,why not stick to one or 2 ? seems they also put some sort of arch in the bathroom,again why if you want sell the thing.
i have seen beautiful houses and i cant comprehend why someone decides to paint 4 different colors outside,its like a child painting his or her toy house,this one looks okay though.
why waste money,time and resources building a house for your main gate ? what's that about LMAO again at least this builder made a tasteful shade for the gate.
at some point will people start building simple houses or will the madness get worse ?
I’m 24F, Congolese, born in Bukavu. I left for university studies to Russia in 2019 right after secondary school.
I came back to Kinshasa this year, february, after getting my bachelor degree in economics and working for a while, because my visa expired.
It’s my first time in Kinshasa, and I really hoped that with my diploma and little experience I would get a job, and earn enough to survive. Little did I know.
I’m alone, I don’t have family here, they are in Bukavu and I don’t want to go back there because it’s occupied. All I want at this point is a job to pay my rent and have food in my plate. What must I do not to die of hunger? Some days, I just eat bread and juice.
I apply for jobs daily, I call recruiters, I post my CV in groups. I’m yet to find anything. It has been 6 months of daily job hunting.
I can’t start a business because I don’t have capital, I tried housekeeping but it was too hard. I was insulted, mistreated, I lasted 4 days. I couldn’t do more. It was physically exhausting.
I never thought I’d be in this position in my life, very humbling. I’m asking for help, advice and guidance.
A question for people who speak Kinyarwanda and another language:
What is one thing you find surprisingly difficult to translate into Kinyarwanda?
Not necessarily a single word. It could be an expression, a feeling, a joke, or something that sounds completely natural in English, French, Swahili, or another language but becomes awkward when you try to say it in Kinyarwanda.
I'm curious to see the examples people come up with.
You do not need to already have a startup. Strong farmers, agronomists, food scientists, engineers, operators, builders, researchers, and people with deep sector knowledge can all be relevant.
If someone comes to mind, please DM me.
Hi guys,
I'd like to know if there's anyone who has information about where I can get my nails treated in Kigali.
I've been suffering with ingrown toenail even after 2 successful surgeries where they completely removed them.
Bcz the problem persists, I was thinking of looking for an experienced person.
So if there's any of you who know a doctor or a place, I'd really like to know.

Hello fam,
Just a quick one, if I import a tablet from Dubai worth around RWF 500,000 into Rwanda, what import taxes or customs charges should I expect to pay? Has anyone recently imported an electronic device and can share their experience?
Thanks.
Is it like other African countries where you can beat the shit out of a thief, or are things different in Rwanda? I heard thieves don't get much time in prison because the prisons are already full, and they would let small-time offenders go. Would the police get involved if some guys beat up thieves?
The weather is one of the reasons me and my friends migrated to Kigali , I'm surprised seeing posts on tiktok and Facebook of rwandese complaining about heat, clearly most of y'all don't know that in west Africa our average temperature in the morning is 31C while at noon it gets up to 36-38C the highest I've seen during this heat season in kigali is 29C so what's the fuss about??
I know some will say use tinder. But any better way?
Anyone knows places for rent for reasonable prices anywhere around Kimironko to Kacyiru? My experience with brokers has been less than pleasant and I want to try a different method. I'm also open to renting a room in a shared house if anyone has a free room. I mostly either spend time in my room or outside and I don't play loud music. I just want somewhere chill close to where I work.
I'm not sure if this is a good place to look, but it won't hurt to ask.
Thanks.
Working under Nyehashi AI we built the first ever kirundi model it was pre trained from scratch its small just 91.2M parameters . Kirundi our language is so underepresented digitally that with time the world will render it not useful and more replacable with kinyarwanda but thats not want we want as the Rundi , we want a future where our kids watch kirundi. As of now many kids are hooked to kinyarwanda after their persuasive creations thats music, movies and the transcribed films. Ladies and Gent i introduced you the Ntahokaja 0.31 Base model any Fine tuners will eventually make it able to be conversationn as of now its text generation so accurate and no kinyarwanda mix up special thanks to 3 Teenagers that contributed for this Dream . I also acknowledge the effforts of the Ijwi ry'ikirundi AI model But their moddel is fine tuned from NLLB aafter araaanom quetion it till int have that kirundi flow . Checkout the image to get to see the responses of this new model the ntahokaja in the photo with its unique segment tech and actually on a custom BPE tockenizer to fit kirundi's aggultnative nature that no model achieves rather than its self. The link to the Hugging Face repo is Nyehashai (NYEHASHAI)

What's Rwanda's political ideology?
In 2026 movies are coming back fr. I haven’t seen a year with this much of a generational run since like 2019, and it has to happen during the worst year to be in Rwanda as a movie lover 😭 We’re really missing out without a cinema here.
I still remember experiencing Avengers Endgame on opening night in 2019 at Century Cinema. The energy, the vibes, the atmosphere, everyone screaming when Captain America held Mjolnir 😭 genuinely one of the happiest moments of my life.
Or when people turned up for Black Panther… the dressing up, the DJ, everyone doing the Wakanda Forever 😭 That shit felt like an actual cultural event.
I can’t believe we won’t get to experience that again this December when Avengers Doomsday releases. 💔
🤣🤣 also bdw where have all the Marvel fans gone?? what are you guys watching lately? Has the fanbase died?
I'm a video editor and content strategist who has been working with international clients and earning online in dollars for the past few years. I recently moved to Rwanda to build a business here.
Since arriving in Kigali, I've noticed that many young people have good access to the internet and technology, but aren't necessarily aware of the different ways they can use digital skills to build careers or earn online.
I'm considering starting a practical, in-person video editing and content creation program in Kigali, but before I build it, I want to know if there's actually a need for it.
If you're a young Rwandan, I'd love your honest thoughts:
1. Have you ever wanted to learn video editing/content creation? If not, why?
2. What's the biggest thing stopping you from learning?
(Cost, laptop, not knowing where to start, time, software, etc.)
3. Would you prefer learning through YouTube, an online course, or in-person training?
4. If you learned video editing, what would you want to use it for?
(Freelancing, content creation, getting a job, starting a business, etc.)
5. If there were a 4-week practical program in Kigali where you actually worked on projects and got feedback, what would make it worth paying for—and roughly how much would you be willing to pay?**
I'm genuinely doing market research here, not selling anything. So feel free to tell me if you think the idea is unnecessary or there's already enough training available.
I'd especially love to hear from students, recent graduates, freelancers and aspiring creators.
Hello.
Has anyone used Bank of Kigali to transfer money to Alipay in China?
I mean, my nervous system has never been as calm as it was while I was in Rwanda. Societal shock to say the least!
I come from one of your chaotic neighboring countries (take a guess 😵💫) and for an upcoming celebration, I knew I had to be by water. Algorithmically, the internet pointed me toward a video of a staycation in Kibuye and I was sold. Booked my bus tickets, packed my luggage, got my Francs and embarked on a solo trip to an unknown land.
I’ve never journeyed that far by bus but it wasn’t a bad experience. On arrival, getting a simcard took me 1.5hours yet I was the first person to be worked on😵💫😵💫 and that was my main qualm during my trip. Like why?
Anyway I stayed in Kigali for the weekend, at a nice accom in Kimihurura and met with friends, went out, toured etc. On day 3, it was time to make my way to Kibuye. Went to Nyabugogo, did the thing where I looked lost and someone helped me get a ticket and board the bus to Karongi. But that bus, Yoh! It was PACKED and I got off very fatigued from the journey but the reward…. wow, the reward was Lake Kivu in its beauty 🥹
I like accommodations with character so where I chose to stay was a no brainer. I was stunned. To make the most of it I swam, did the boat cruises, kayaking, hiking, sunset drinks, meeting people, BBQ, got a celebratory bottle of wine from my host, toured hotels… urghhh what an experience!
On the bus back, I met a Belgian who had spent 2 weeks in Rwanda on a solo trip and we chatted the entire ride about our experience (given we were the only English speakers). I was having it bad with language barrier and being in a new land, but he was having it worse 😂😂 so I helped him get his bus ticket back to my chaotic country where his flight back home was. He definitely has a story for the books.
It was not an easy experience at all but I figured everything out as I went and I had a memorable time 🤍
