Most people are like that - trapped in poverty with virtually zero chance of escaping. Huyo mtu wa nduthi with a wife and kids would have to win the lottery to escape the matrix. Kids are 25 year financial commitments at the bare minimum. By the time those kids become adults, he will be too old and frail to change his destiny. He will be set in his ways. Can a nduthi guy with a family escape from poverty? Yes. But the odds are overwhelmingly against him. In my home town, wale watu walipata watoi 2010 wakiendesha nduthi still ride motorbikes today 15 years later na bado ni peasants. The only thing they have to show for it is their children. Those guys are in their mid 40s now.
They are experts at triangulation. Wanaturn the rest of the family members against the one black sheep and can get nasty. I’ve had to learn psychology to understand life bana. Only the strong survive such family dynamics
Hatusemi usinunue shamba. Tunasema USINUNUE PLOT TOWN THEY’RE OVERPRICED. Go back back and buy a nice chunk of land to your village. Acha pesa ibaki kijiji.
After umenunua hiyo shamba. Wafungulie bar wakurudishie pesa yako yote na uwaletee waiter maraya wamalizwe hiyo ingine ndio wasipate pesa ya kukuletea makesi baadaye .
How will they have time for you when they’re dealing with hiv and poverty combo?
gentrification requires a brutual approach. You let them hang around you, and when they start seein you develop their precious land they thought was worthless, wivu itaingia. ni kufinish khumalo
