NAIROBI'S CUNNING PEOPLE

today is the day nimejua some people in nairobi can be very cunning. never trust anyone even if its your close friend. in short never trust a human being. i will use some pseudo names so as to protect the identities of those involved.

so yesterday mr mei came home and told my dad of how his friend had a HR job and so i should take it since he had convinced him of how i am best suited for the job since am a HR graduate. to make it better the pay only was enough to make me even be motivated for the job. so huyo mimi nikafika kinyozi nikachapia Otii msee wa kinyozi acheze na nywele yangu design ile hata nzi inajipata imeslide tu. Otii naye akashangaa sana since I am ana Afro guy so nikacheki vile nywele yangu ya 3+ years ikienda chini. i looked very different hadi wasee walishangaa sana "brathe naona manze umeangusha,‘investment’ ". kufika mtaani mzae akanishow tuende tubuy matoja na mashati official since job nishawai sasa itabidi niwe official. mzae alispend kitu kama 25k akibuy matoja, mashati, viatu hadi tai. tukarudi mtaani alafu nikapanga documents zangu vizuri juu zilikuwa zikihitajika. nikapiga hata ka revision kiasi ndo nikuwe ready incase wauliza swali yoyote. nilichapiwa hizo ni formalities tu juu job tayari nimepata.

leo nikaamka ngware ndo nisichelewe juu nilikuwa nipatane na huyo msee kitu 9 apo. what i didnt know is that mr jik (the one to give me the job) went to high school with mr mei. mr jik was the CEO of the organization i was to work for. so huyo mimi hadi kwa ofisi ya mr jik tukachapiana akanishow anahitaji application letter na passport size photos mbili coz vitu zingine nilikuwa nazo zote, passport photoz nakuanga nazo but nikaona nipige yenye nina official saa hio tai imeninyonga manze najua job iko. nikaishia kwa ndoch jamaa flani wa mtaa anakuanga amechorwa job tao kwa shop ya movie nikachukua lappy yake nikachonga application letter alafu nikaprint kwa duka flani hapo next. nikaishia place flani nikapigwa passport 8 walikuwa wakilipisha 100 alafu nikarudi kwa ofisi ya mr jik. kumvutia akanishow ameishia meeting nimngoje hapo kwa reception. nikaitisha huyo receptionist stapler ndo nishikanishe documents pamoja. kuna youtman alikuwa hapo kando akacheki application letter yangu akaanza kuniuliza kama na apply job huko nikadinda. nikaona ni kama huyo ana nia mzuri anataka kunicheza juu kulikuwa na wasee wengine wame apply hiyo job. nikaona nimsikize ndo akanichapia vile yeye hudunga job huko na hawajai lipwa for the last 3 months. akanichapia vile wao hushinda wakiambiwa excuses kibao zingine hazimake sense kabisa. yeye hata alikuwa amekam kuchapia mr jik amechorea job juu hakuna venye anaeza fanya job three months na hajalipwa. akaniuliza walikuwa wamenishow watanilipa doo ngapi nikamshow iyo doo akaniangalia akaniambia brathe hapa utachezwa. kidogo kidogo tu mr jik akaingia ndani nikamdunga hizo documents akanishow job nishapata sasa nimvutie saa kumi ndo tujue ntaanza job when since alikuwa akiishia meeting saa hio ilikuwa 12. nikajitoa nikapata ule boyz alisonga kitambo after aliambiwa angojee kiasi.

nikaishia kwa ndoch nikatulia hukl nikingoja 4 ifike niende nijue ntaanza job when. ndoch si alikuwa ameisha yake yote after amenicheki sina nywele. “brathe kwani huyo msee alikunyoa na wembe ama we ni fan wa the rock na hatujui?”
nikamshow ni job imewahi akanishow iko fiti. kitu 2.30 mzae akanivutia ati tuende mtaani nikamshow bado nangoja 4 ifike ndo nimalizane na mr jik akanishow achana na mr jik kuja tuende nyumbani kuna kitu ntakuambia. nikasema sawa nikajitoa saa hio ndoch ako zile za “msee na vile umenyonga hii official yote alafi job iume nje” nikamshow tema hiyo mate fala wewe. nikapatana na mzae place yeye hudunga job kulikuwa na meeting ya mabig fish wa hio place anadunga job so wanaeza enda home. nikaingia ndae tukaanza kusonga mtaani.

kitu mzae alinishow nikajua nairobi ni kuzii. he opened a can of worms literally. alinishow vile aliishia kwa mr mei kudiscuss report flani alimchapia vile nishapatana na mr jik. mr mei akamchapia “ambia kijana wako akuwe careful na huyo jamaa he is not straight. infact he has a fraud case pending in court and there is a court order in place for him to be investigated by some bank and his accounts”. mzae kuskia ivo kidogo afyatu "yaani wewe tangu jana hukuniambia kitu kama hii unaniambia saa hii? wewe unataka kijana wangu aende ajipate akitafutwa na askari jju ya kitu haiko? "

“no i want him to be cautious you can ask mr xy here can tell you”

mr xy is the cousin to mr mei. mzae alinishow alitoka huko akaenda kwa ofisi ya mr xy kumuuliza juu ya mr jik, mr xy akamshow “huyo usijaribu ku associate na yeye kabisa. mi namjua huyo tukiwa high school alikuanga na hiyo tabia. he is a smooth talker but once you work for him you will never be paid. mimi si nimefanya kazi na yeye miezi 5 sijailipwa nikaona niachane na yeye kabisa. huyo kama ni HR si ningekuwa nishamtafutia mtu tayari. yeye mwenyewe ni CEO na alipwangi hata na wakubwa wake kijana wako atalipwa aje sasa? huko eka x. hakuna haja utumie pesa mingi ya fare na hutaipata return yoyote.”

mzae kuskia ivo ndo alinivutia akinishow tuende home. kusema ukweli mr jik alikuwa smooth talker he talked so well you’d think he is a saint nigga is just a sinner just sins differently than me. hapo nikaona ule msee nilipatana na yeye hapo reception kumbe alikuwa akisema ukweli manze. iliuma mzae juu alispend dooh kibao kumbe it was just a farce but nikamchapia iko sawa nitaeka izo viatu na hizo nguo official job ikiwai ngakuwa nikienda nazo interview for now wacha nichongee wasee CV na Cover Letter hamna haraka.

Sasa hautaki hata experience?

At least ukiwa hapo una chance poa ya kupata job. It will help you create professional contacts. You can also continue with CV editing na kuandikia watu letters.

Sioni kama shida yako kubwa ni pesa!

I don’t have kind words for anyone who says he’s graduated and has his father sort out his wardrobe.
Maybe I’m just old school.

sijasoma

and makanika mrefi to boot

Now that you know that that Jik guy is a conman, are you going to let an unsuspecting Kenyan be conned? A responsible man would expose him. Be your brothers keeper. You see the devil thrives when he is not exposed. He hates the truth more than anything else. Truth is his kryptonite.
How do you expose him you ask? You can do it online through shosho media. At least you’ll give a Kenyan a small chance of not getting took. Good luck in your job search

This hekaya can be summarized in one sentence.

A dad buys his son who is a graduate a pair of undergarments and gives him money to shave.

kweli mkubwa. so that i can create professional contacts with people who are frauds and conmen. umeskia vizuri huyo msee ni conman and you dont expect any good deed with a conman do you?? nikiwa hapo nina chance poa ya kulala ndani na hautakuja kunitoa.

what’s your point. y’all behaving as if you were independent the second you were born. its as if you have never depended on your parents for anything. y’all loudmouths in here talk too much yet you are mama’s boys even not ashamed of fucking bitches in your mama’s house.anonymity and hiding behind a smartphone or computer screen doesn’t change the fact that you needed support in your life so as to learn on how to stand on your own.

Tall munyama everywhere except akili.
Now you want to cry?

You see mr @tall mnyama everywhere , when a parent wants u to change ur lifestyle ni lazima ukue processed vile naonanga vitu kwa manufacturing companies zikitembezwa from section to section.
In short he was telling u to change urself from a hood badboy/kadinya/holy herb user to a professional consultant and use your campus knowledge and think out of the box.
