I came to Sweden about four months ago and life is extremely difficult. I paid someone some money to bring me here to seek greener pastures but things seem not to be working out. My host told me to go and seek asylum as a way of finding a base but I am not a political person and I was not ready to tell the story he gave me because I could not support it.
At the moment, I have no accommodation and I am being housed through the will of God by some contacts who sympathize with my situation. My host told me that since I failed to follow directives, I am on my own. The problem is that he has a family and living with him is just an extra burden. I had expected to get a job upon arrival but I just realized that my whole mind-frame when I left Kenya was misplaced.
In Kenya, I was a teacher by profession but now, I have lost my job. I am penniless. I know some people will say that I may have been foolish to have come here without proper plans and I do understand them. Things looked so real to me and I was misled. I have made mistakes and now, I need a solution. I am asking anybody out there with a good idea to help me.
Back home, I am a young father of two children and I am too ashamed that suddenly, I am helpless. I am writing this letter as a last resort seeking for help. I have tried contacting the Kenyan Embassy but I was told that the Embassy is not responsible for Kenyans here unless one is a tourist and has an emergency situation. I could not talk to the Ambassador because I was told that there was nothing to discuss. I do not know many Kenyans here but I am interested in raising some funds so that I can return to Kenya and start afresh. Any help will be appreciated.

the only way out for u is to ask for assylum as you sort youself out ,good luck lakani
If this guy took a risk to come to Sweden, why can’t he risk seeking asylum? Otherwise he will find himself back in Kenya. Grow some balls!
Hi ,
It is time this human trafficking ring is busted .They are a number It is not moral to take the life oaf another being as a chattel ,to be sold .Name the culprits .Asking for help is fine ,but letting the perpetrators go free is not justifiable.They are known ,its time they are named and shamed.
As for our brother who is in dire straits please be wise and use counsel.Going for broke at imes helps
One Thing is for sure when one is in Kenya one is very naive and of course the Greener pasture story works like a good dream.
But the minute you step in reality that hakuna kitu kaa land of milk and honey its always very late.
Like for this guy he have already lost his Job in kenya so my Advice to this Guy is:
Decide on what u really want coz one thing is for sure if u gonna stay here you have some how seek asyl or find a partener which can take alot of time,
Getting a Good Job without proper papers is also hard.
so. ……
MY Advice is have alot of patience and start from beginning OR if u feel that its too hard afadhali u Rudi home somehow u will get a Job Again it better to Go back home after 4 months with out anything Than stay here waste your life away and lastly Getting so stressed with everything here.
Its your decision to know to what extreme you can go to get thing Work out.
One more thing Dont Listen to all advice you get some will just make you loose
It Good It would be nice to meet you for more Inform.
You stranded Mkenya Listen very carefully I am not going to lecture you first but as a teacher everybody expects teachers to be very smart people but you seem to suffer like any other kenyan who suffer collectivelly from Amnesia _ Go to the nearest Police Station In Sweden the Police do not beat , torture or maim let them know your situation and name that Conman whose cartels earn huge money by Human trafficking and do not fear the police will provide you with security and a one way ticket to Kenya .
We will try to assist in anyway.We understand that in life,we as human beings are bound to make regretful decisions but one must not marktime in sorrow for what happened in the past.Instead rise from the ashes and try as hard as possible not to repeat the same mistakes,for as we all know (I hope) from experience that two wrongs NEVER make a right…..Feel free to contact us and we are sure we shall find a way forward….Blessed Love to one n all.
I fully support the sentiments of those commentators who are pushing for the naming and shaming of the culprit involved in cheating the victim by promising him greener pastures in Sweden. This is not the first or last case, so it is time for Kenya-Stockholmers to raise their voices against human traffickers who fleece innocent, hard-working Kenyans by charging them cash to come to Sweden, yet know very well that a Tourist Visa cannot be used for permanent residency or employment.
Human trafficking is not only a crime but also an act that is morally and ethically wrong. I would urge the Teacher to look for ways of survival now that he is here, though the most ideal thing would be to raise this matter candidly with the person that brought him to Sweden, then decide on what best cause of action to take. He should do this in the presence of other Kenyans.
Returning home through voluntary deportation via the Swedish Migration authority is another option. However, this is easier said than done because human traffickers often leave their victims broke, after bleeding them dry by making them empty their cash accounts and selling their properties, to pay them.
Since the Teacher has been here for four months, I recommend that he reads Osewe’s “Underground Survival Manual” which is a proven Bible that enables one to be street smart. There are many ways to kill a rat and others have made it in Sweden despite similar circumstances in the beginning. Whichever way, I wish the Teacher good luck!

Shemenji kimnji Kenyan teacher you may get assylum in sweden if you tell them you are a Homosexual being tormented in Kenya but be prepared hence your asshole must be measured by police to verify your claims If you are a woman tell them you are seeking assylum becouse some ruthless Kikuyu women wanted to circumscise you by force and you refused hence the Swedes do not encourage (FGM)= female genital Mutilation. good luck.
There is a lot of help you can get, and this is also Stockholm where u can live paper less for decades. But … I dont feel like giving the advice on where you can go and get what kind of help just like this on an Internet site for billions all over the world to read. But how do I get in thouch with you?
That a well intentioned objective opinion poll has sent shivers down the spines of Jubilee’s Uhuruto duo is not in doubt. It triggered Ruto to have a Paranoia attack right in the middle of a rally.
Ruto, whose only wins have been whenever he works with Raila, sees defeat in the horizon even before this game is over- it was evident.
The rally at Uhuru Park (which was named in honor of a dictator’s birth of a son called Uhuru) was addressed by crybabies who looked tired and beat up- underdogs, into whom reality has begun to sink.
Mwakwere, 72, he of the analog generation almost lost his voice trying to convince a reluctant crowd that he has always calculated to be on the side that wins. No that’s a lie. In 2007 he was on the PNU side that lost but rigged. Kenyans ignore Mwakwere’s wet dreams.
The Infotrak poll which inundated media circles on Saturday showed Railonzo-Weta trio ahead of the presidential tickets presented in March 2013. A previous Ipsos Synovate poll in mid December also put Cord in the lead. The writing is on the wall. Those with eyes should see.
Every possible indicator and multiple sources of data is in Cord’s favor, including Ruto and Uhuru’s body languages. Kenyans are scared of sanctions. Jubilee’s other name is SANCTIONS. Emaciation, hunger, disease, oppression, death, insecurity, business collapse of Armageddon proportions and infrastructural destruction, are all part of a package that the Jubilee curse promises.
Ruto’s vitriol at Uhuru Park against a woman pollster was filled with ethnocentric and xenophobic hate against an innocent woman whose only crime was pronouncing scientifically derived data, the attack may strengthen Bensouda’s case against Uhuru and Ruto at The Hague. Ruto forgot he has a case. Talk of Ruto-nesia.
Ruto had numerous arguments to make against Info track through his sidekick Adan Dualle but as is his element he chose the destructive diatribe path that took him to Hague, the path of ethnic hate and vitriol against an organization that has consistently made accurate objective predictions including a Raila win in 2007.
That because it’s led by a woman from an ethnicity that isn’t his own, then it’s biased when its research shows Raila would do a 52% first round knock out against Jubilee’s 39% , what an analog argument. Numbers don’t lie.
I haven’t heard Cord Luminaries make such retrogressive arguments against Margaret Ireri of Ipsos Synovate. Infact I have instead used Ireri’s cooked up results as the premise of my arguments in earlier articles, without crying baby that they are cooked.
Ruto should issue a counter-thesis argument against Info track’s opinion thesis, rather than engage an innocent woman with hateful, malicious and tribal diatribes intent on stoking embers of ethnic based 41-1 mob justice against entrepreneurial private sector organizations.
We now know who pens the useless anti-Cord blog articles intent on peddling falsehoods about UK’s overrated invincibility circulated by well known bloggers. From speeches to placards, watch those tapes it was all from the blogger’s drafted blogosphere, nothing based on science and/or logic.
Jubilee’s strategy seems based on fiction driven blog articles that cannot in anyway match CORD’s Obama like based campaign strategies that the public is evidently believing and trusting. Not when the intellectually dwarf are the TNA strategist.
Cord strategy team comprises top-secret intellectual heavyweights that I cannot reveal due to classified information. Cord thrives on the truth; smart strategy and tact- not hate speech as spewed at Uhuru Park.
For those who know Raila Odinga can acknowledge that he has always held the belief that the truth and only the truth should be the only basis upon which men prevail at elections. That he would rather lose an election than con his way into the presidency through falsehoods and distorted facts. Honor, integrity, truth are the virtues upon which the CORD movement was founded upon and will emerge victorious.
Whoever does opinion polls and finds CORD and Railonzo ahead, fine! With Raila as the leader Cord won’t betray its core values for political expediency. It was the reason it took it longest to conclude alliance talks, because no false promises or exchange of was tolerated in the negotiations.
As this happened Jubilee made catch after catch as it built its house of cards or do I say house of cash, or sand castles. They built it fast, and its collapsing fast. Scattered into the four winds.
Participants were expected to join Cord out of conscience and not manipulation, coercion or bribing. Faith, hope and love for country are the glue that holds CORD together. That is why it is enduring. That is why Cord is a fountain of peace and tranquility, without infighting whatsoever.
That is why together, Cord leadership has been able to turn around the mood of the nation from being dismissed as underdogs to now invincible “top-dawgs”. Opinion polls have consistently showed Cord headed to a crushing cruise to victory.
Numerous leaders including Mudavadi and Eugene have been betrayed by Jubilee. Jubilee is losing members in droves, days on end, talk of member hemorrhage. Whoever Cord recruits on the contrary, it keeps. It’s called member retention. A tweak of what in corporate-speak, we call employee retention.
And Cord has the least defections, the least wrangles, gets the most defectors from other parties, and articulates the most progressive policies. The most progressive of CORD’s policies will revolutionize the way the youth interact with the rest of the world.
That is why at Uhuru Park, an air of defeat and dejection rented the atmosphere. Other than just bar talk, not a single truly digital idea has been forthcoming. Among all the speakers at Uhuru Park, Ruto, obviously due to his paranoia problem, seemed the most incensed by the mood of the nation, which is overwhelmingly CORD. Watch those tapes again he was even scared of mentioning Raila Odinga by name for fear of a psychiatric breakdown. You cannot dare mention the name of the next President in vain. At least not when you plan to have URP negotiate with his government after a Round one win.
I shared the Uhuru park tapes with an award winning Canadian based Psychiatrist buddy of mine and he was like “an anti-anxiety drug called Haldol or Ativan could help Ruto deal with such anxieties of a humiliating loss ahead of March 4th”. That “had he indulged in a dose of Haldol before the rally, his speech, body language and thought content would have been different. He would have been more relaxed without paranoid delusions in the podium”.
