What's the difference between what they're doing in this video and our cultural practices?
Why is ours witchcraft? If you were to do this they'd call it occultism and that you're breaking some laws you've never heard of, but it's perfectly okay when they do it.
I’ve always been curious about the guys behind these nganyas.
You see some of them and the owner has really gone all out — custom interiors, serious sound systems, lights, rims, paint jobs and all sorts of modifications. Some barely resemble the vehicle they started with 😂
But as passengers, we mostly just see the finished product.
For those who actually own them, what made you decide to go the nganya route in the first place? Did you always plan to modify it that heavily or did it happen gradually?
And what engine/mechanical setup are you running underneath all the customization? How do you maintain it, and when something needs replacing, where do you actually get parts? Especially with heavily modified ones, does finding parts ever become a headache?
What’s your favourite thing about owning one, and what’s the part nobody really talks about?
Also, what’s the craziest reaction you’ve gotten from a passenger or someone seeing it for the first time?
For anyone who’s owned a normal matatu and a nganya, is the experience really that different?
And if you had to start again with the same money, would you still build a nganya?
Are Prados actually the right vehicle for most Kenyan drivers?
I recently had a discussion with Brian about Toyota Prados, and he made an interesting argument:
Prados can feel less stable because of their height and body-on-frame design, yet many Kenyans use them almost exclusively on tarmac and in urban areas rather than for the off-road conditions they’re designed to handle.
That got me thinking — I’d like to hear from actual Prado owners.
For those who own or have owned one, what is the reality of living with a Prado in Kenya?
I’m particularly interested in:
Fuel consumption: What’s your real-world km/L in Nairobi/urban driving vs highway?
Reliability: What major or recurring problems have you experienced, and at what mileage?
Diesel/DPF: For newer diesel models, have you experienced DPF accumulation or blockages, regeneration issues, EGR problems, injector issues or turbo problems? How much did they cost to resolve?
Short-distance driving: Does predominantly doing short urban trips cause problems with your diesel Prado?
Maintenance: How expensive is it actually to maintain one compared with other SUVs?
Suspension: How often have you had to replace suspension components, especially if you regularly use rough Kenyan roads?
Transmission/4WD: Any problems with the gearbox, transfer case, differentials or 4WD system?
Stability: Do you notice significant body roll or feel uncomfortable with the vehicle’s stability at high speeds or during sudden maneuvers?
Off-road use: How often do you actually take your Prado off-road?
Urban use: If you spend 90–95% of your time on tarmac, do you still think the Prado is worth buying?
Resale: Is the strong Toyota/Prado resale value a major reason you chose it?
Overall: If you had the same budget today, would you buy the same Prado again?
Please include the year, engine, mileage and model where possible (e.g. 120/150/250 series, 2.7 petrol, 3.0 diesel, 2.8 diesel, etc.).
I’m especially interested in real ownership experiences rather than “Toyota is reliable” or “Prados are unstable.” Tell me what actually happened to your vehicle, what it cost, and how you use it.
So I'm trying to grow a social media agency. I have specialised in real estate and interior design but we can work in whatever industry it is.
I am also a good social media manager and a good digital marketer.
Lastly, I would appreciate your opinion of my video. Thanks🙏🏾❤️
Malindi has been flourishing of late and LAND is still affordable going at Ksh. 2M per acre in Misufini (10 minutes drive from Malindi Town), you can buy now and wait (or subdivide for investment). Also AIRBNB business is booming with new RESIDENTIAL APARTMENTS being built for that purpose. Getting a 2 Bedroom apartment, fully furnished with AC and Swimming pool and Gym being just 5 minutes walking distance to Lawford's Beach, for only Ksh. 9.5M
Which one would be an ideal investment considering taking a mortgage payment plan if it's for the newly built apartment.?

Anyone know her or got her contacts? She posted a while ago about giving out pets(kittens and puppies) for adoption. We chatted a bit but jana nikaona she's been banned.
Hopefully this finds her(wanted to post on Nairobi and Kenya subs but I can't because of my karma 🥲)
