The number of residents seems vastly exaggerated. Figures given usually range between 500,000 and 800,000. --Kipala 17:58, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
One other factor that inhibits improvement is corruption. A visit to this location this past December '08 saw a new community housing project go up intended to move some Kiberians there. However, corruption left the Kiberians out and regular Nairobians moved in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.50.5.20 (talk) 19:00, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
Rarely if ever is Soweto considered a slum, especially considering the presence of shanty towns; true slums. 86.132.116.173 (talk) 19:03, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

This article says that Kibera is the largest slum in Africa, but Slum says it is the second largest. Also the news item on Kibera on the main page says that Kibera has 2 million residents, but this page estimates the population at 1 million. Mahahahaneapneap (talk) 20:51, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
It would seem to me that the lede still contradicts with the article on Slum, especially this picture, which seems to describe Mexico City as the biggest slum in the world. Colipon+(Talk) 17:59, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
should http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Nairobi_slums_area.png be added? Sarcelles (talk) 19:30, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
Hello,
I would like to add an external link for Kibera, it is the following : http://www.jeremysaintpeyre.com/wordpress/?p=88
I think it is interesting because this work talk about the inhabitant of Kibera and the issue they are dealing with from their point of view. Some of their issue are stricly linked to Kibera, other to bigger Kenyan issue... like shantytown as Kibera.
I have seen other work done this way, like Jonas Bendiksen did, or Christian Als : http://www.christianals.com/?p=3
I think that wikipedia should lead to other sources of knowledge.
Have a nice day.

The tribal and ethnic data breakdown makes no sense. Clearly, the author left out the overall breakdown by Luo, Luhya, Kikuyu, Kisii, Kamba, and only included breakdowns by male and female. What are the overall percentages? John Gage--JohnGage (talk) 15:49, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
