Leo nimekua nikipiga rounds kidogo, you know, kushukuru tu Mungu for this opportunity to travel kiasi. I don’t take it for granted. One thing I realized is that being a Kenyan is just a raw deal maze. Kenya hakuna nchi kabisa. County yetu mzima, hakuna ata pitch moja kama hii but all of a sudden chelilim ako na pesa sasa ya kuweka mansion while the stupid residents cheer him on wakingojea house opening ceremony ndio wakule mchele.
This is a very average middle class neighborhood na hizi viwanja ziko everywhere. Usiku mnacheza game yenu. Yaani hakuna corruption, mwezi ya kwanza kuland nilikua nishapata kazi haraka sana. Things are just working then you think about Kenya and you just feel ashamed.
Anyway, cause there’s no hope kwa hii nchi, na kura yangu moja haiwezi leta tofauti, siwezi kubali mtoto yangu akue mkenya, later a mere statistic of unemployed youth. I will never have kids. This 3rd world shithole does not deserve my offspring watandikwe na maisha bure, especially after seeing how other kids are living out here. A small decision that in the grand scheme of things means nothing, but to me, it means everything.
As a sidenote, nakumbuka Ferrari 458 ilishuka Nairobi karibu nchi isimame, but check out this beast. Mimi pekee yangu ndio nilikua na shugli ya kuipiga picha. I noticed other people wanaipita tu kama probox flani.
Africans tunakuwanga bonobos. However, one issue of living in Western countries is that a NO is a NO. There is no way around it. In Kenya, if you are caught drunk-driving, you can talk your way out of it.
I have come to understand your average African is passive, low-agency, unambitious, lacks foresight, proactivity, ability to plan, follow-through and everything in-between. In other words, your typical African is low in intelligence.
As a result, you can’t expect him to have a functional economy or make the most of all the resources at his disposal. He can’t elect the best leader from the bunch because… he can only pick a leader who mirrors/shares the most traits with him which is how we end up with clowns in offices, can’t manage waste or do R&D that would put him ahead of ther races technology-wise.
I mean, a good example is this forum where the most popular content is low-effort posts that benefit almost no one except lewd perverts who only live for debauchery, cheap banter and gossip.
Haha. This is very subjective. Huku ni mzuri with advanced economy, but I swear there’s no place I’d rather be than vumbistan despite it being a shithole.
It’s only because when you get there you suddenly realize the girlies think you look like shit, you sound funny, your skin is discolored with uneven patches plus your hairline that starts in the middle of your grooved head suddenly becomes noticeable in a society where image is everything.
You don’t like kenya because you think it’s objectively better, you only like it because the west makes you feel inferior and your flaws are suddenly obvious like a mad man walking naked in the streets.
If you had achieved the heights of prestige and respect you had imagined in your head like prof ngugi, you would have no desire to return to Kenya
Kitu hunikatisia na mayolo ni hii story ya eti you can’t “talk” to govt officers. Hio Na the fact that you can’t deal with a burukenge mundu khu mundu without some busybodies calling 911. Halafu revenue services wako rada yako mbaya. Hakuna story za filing nil returns.
I think being able to talk your way out of being caught drunk driving is an issue for us. This is the one area where you absolutely shouldn’t be able to talk your way out of
