There are several types of ‘sponsors’. From the really old men to young gentlemen chasing after every skirt around them, famously known as ‘mafisi’.
Complete sponsor
They sponsor you in all directions. They can buy you a beautiful house in the leafy suburbs and also buy you an expensive car. To top it up, they register the car’s log book in your name – just so you know they mean business. The sponsor ensures you go shopping in the world’s best cities; London, Dubai or Paris. They give you a lifestyle beyond your wildest dreams. His demands are very few because he has three other concubines besides you; he also has a big family including grandchildren, so they will never spend time at your house.
His demand to get physical is very low as… well; his energy is low thanks to his advanced age. Mostly, tycoons and prominent people over the age of 50 years fall in this category. They can also be called Unlimited Partners.

Limited sponsors
A limited sponsor is the kind of sponsor who will give you everything. They will buy you a house and a car but they will register all these possessions under their name. They will also bankroll your life and treat you to luxury holidays… within East Africa. Being that they are still strong, they might decide to have a kid or two with you. They visit you just for a night and dash out just before sunrise. They tend to be more responsible though, as your will later find out, you are not alone in this since they have three other side chicks. They usually fall in the age bracket of 45 years to 55 years. Mr Politician and that lawyer guy is one of them.
Particular sponsors
They are available for a particular day and for a given function. This can be a Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or any social media fan of the chick, who has some consumable salary at the end of the month for pizza. They are the type with six-pack chest you would think was built by the standard gauge railway constructors. They are often in charge of the girls during rugby or football match or when there is something cool happening in town. They are wannabes and the farthest they can take you is “#tembea_kenya_manenos”. Particular sponsors are often worshipped in bed. Enough said!
Mini sponsors
This is where most sponsors fall. This guy will contact you during end month when he knows he has his Sh50,000 net salary. He will take you out for rave in ‘Westie’ or ‘West-E’ for one too many then ‘chipos’ you the whole night. After this night treat, he goes back to the wife and waits for their next pay day to contact you.
Industrial sponsor
This is the one who shares his knowledge or personal service with you. They are also called ‘mafisi’. They will only buy you a drink after they have hustled the whole day for that money. Then want to ‘chipo’ you.
Silent sponsor
This last one is the one who does not take active part in the business of the sponsorship though in the real sense he is the real ‘fisi’. Think AY and Diamond singing; [I]“Nakula kwa macho…”
God help all of us, at this rate, your father is gone!
