What happened to Starehe Boys Centre, Luos?

Now no one does. But when I was in school it was a HUGE deal. In high school I had this Kao chic. She was a popular chic. Tafuta insyder magazine ya hizo miaka hutakosa salamu zake from countrywide. Her mom was terror. They had a phone in the house. Sounds commonplace these days, but it wasn’t those days. So one time I call our usual hours thinking the mom yuko job. Terror. The mom picks. She is breathing heavy artillery. Somewhere along the hostile fire, she asks which school I am from. I kid you not, she promised to have the daughter call me back as soon as she’s back.

:D:D:D:D Sisi watu wa Provisional schools tulikuwa tunakatia madem time ya funkie hawakuwa wanataka kutuongelesha kama Mang’u boys na Alliance wako around.

Alafu ujaribu kukatia madem wa Kenya High ama Limuru girls kama umetoka shule haijulikani wanakulenga.We were “meffi” in their eyes.

But Mungu ni nani. Saa hizi ni pesa inaongea.

May I ask what you were doing at a girls high school at 3am in the morning?

Kwani it is okay for him to be in a boys school at the same time?

@smokin_gun

Alafu watu wa National school walikuwa na kiburi mbaya sana. They were too condescending and acted like they had some secret to making it big in life.

Kwanza ukipatana na watu wa Alliance na Mang’u. Very stubborn individuals!

But in the real world, nobody gives a fuack which highschool you went to. Hakuna!!

Kiburi ni muhimu in life. Juu usipokua na kiburi utatumiwa kama kifagio.

Oh yes. I can’t find any photos of the classrooms, swimming pool grounds, football, basketball, hockey pitches, auditorium, the farm where most of the food was obtained etc etc. It’s massive. Don’t forget they house all the teachers, matrons, cleaners, non-teaching staff…

Sometime back, there was a discussion about Ivy schools like Turi and Brookehouse (as you called them) vs village schools. I recall you saying thatyou went Ivy schools and thatis why you are successful. SO which is which?

@Kaffir

walikuwa na mpaka bath tubs I don’t know if they were functional , they maintained that aristocratic feel !

And private showers too which was nice coz I used to hear other schools had communal showers. Weekly dry cleaning of all sheets and blankets…All fourth formers and best performing 3rd formers (matron’s pets) had a private dorm “cube.” House prefect had her own private bedroom and bathroom. Dinner time after supper there was always tea, bread and sausages available.

I wouldn’t call Brookehouse an Ivy school to be honest. Just an expensive useless school. Kenya High is definitely Ivy. Never been to Turi or interacted with anyone from there, but they have an airstrip. Jesus, the moment you decide you need an airstrip, that already says something.

I played a basketball tournament at Turi and you honestly wouldn’t know you are in Kenya. I was truly humbled.

Just seen what Turi and most prestige schools feeds students to make them feel “special”.

What’s the point of feeding students unhealthy junk food? Bacon, sausage, fried chicken, chips, waffles unapatia mtoto kila siku ya nini?

No wonder you will see a lot of fat kids in those schools.

Thanks for giving me the chance to say we fed exceedingly well at my highschool. 2 course meals. Main meal and desert. Professionally trained chefs. Ice creams, Custards, Mustards, all the junk. But that’s no excuse to get fat. Your health is your own responsibility. Ok maybe that’s a little harsh on teenagers, but at the end of the day. It’s your life. Blame if you want, but you’ll still have to live it.

:DHehe…mtu asiwahi kupatia pressure ati ooh you went to a Provincial school it means xyz…Even a district school is okay as long as you grew into a person of substance.

High school was such a total body immersion experience though.

[YuleMseeMbaya]

Alliance, Nairobi school, St.Marys etc used to be at their peak and boujee in the 1960s and 1970s, In Nairobi school, they used to have 3-course meals. The transition from colonial government turned those schools to look like concentration camps

There is nothing like “me son” kwa kizungu bana. “Me son” ni mnyama gani? Enda uandike, “Listen to me, son…” mara kumi halafu sasa tunaweza ongea. Otherwise nitakuja kukuenjoy hapa ukiendelea kuvizana.

Those kids eat that food at home every day so they don’t need it to make them “feel special”. Its just what they are accustomed to.
