SEE HOW THE SOMALI BILLIONAIRES HAVE TAKEN OVER EASTLEIGH NAIROBI KENYA (unbelievable) |4K WALK|

Nairobi’s Eastleigh neighbourhood hosts one of the largest ethnic Somali communities outside Somalia—composed of Kenyan Somalis as well as Somali nationals whose numbers have swelled since the collapse of their state. Eastleigh has become an important centre of Somali diaspora life and a hub for a trust-based trading community that operates across East Africa and into Asia and the Middle East. To call Eastleigh a neighborhood of any city, is to do injustice to the place. Eastleigh is a city in itself; or rather it is the city. If it were not the wrecked infrastructure and the lawlessness, Eastleigh would have claimed the center of Nairobi. Kenyans come from all corners of the country to shop in Eastleigh. Once a quiet residential area, Eastleigh has transformed into a bustling economic powerhouse, earning nicknames like "Small Mogadishu"and "a country within a country". In this video, we dive deep into how Somali entrepreneurs both local and diaspora have turned this Nairobi neighborhood into East Africa’s most dynamic commercial centre The Rise of "Somali Billionaires"Somali investors dominate Eastleigh’s skyline with high-rise malls like Amal Shopping Plaza, stocking global goods from China, the U.S., and Japan . Pooled investments from Somalis worldwide fuel rapid construction: 8 people might contribute KSh 10 million each to buy land, build skyscrapers, and sell apartments off-plan through trust-based agreements Eastleigh contributes billions to Kenya’s economy, creating jobs in construction, retail, and logistics . Critics claim "illegal money" from piracy or terror groups funds growth, but Somalis dismiss this, emphasizing their entrepreneurial grit . The area thrives on transnational networks, diaspora funds, global trade links, and Somali-run services like money transfers and travel agencies With 40+ construction projects approved yearly, Eastleigh is Nairobi’s 4th fastest-growing sub-county . Can this boom sustain amid rising land prices and government scrutiny over financial transparency?
