Ujinga ni.......
Everything in Kenya seems to be changing so fast;so fast and furiously too. Kenyans are changing too with changing times.The last time i visited Nairobi,i had a feeling that Paris and other big cities would look like a big joke alongside Nairobi:the beautiful mushrooming up-class suburbs,the numerous car models one observes snarling up in a traffic jam,the sophisticated young men and women,business executives ,the mobile phones and other flashy electronic devices that still remain luxury in developed countries too;the list is just endless!
Having stayed out for only two years,i looked the old one out in almost everything;take my phone,for example.I am one lady who believes that a mobile phone's work is to make and receive calls.It therefore doesn't matter whether it still croaks like a frog or hisses like a snake to alert me of an incoming call.My Kenyan friends were disappointed on seeing what i had in the name of a phone,given that i now claim to be living in one of the modest cities in the world.In these parts of the world,mobile phones come in handy and since people are always on the move,they prefer using IPhones for example to work other than carry their laptops around.I don't want to mean that Kenyans do not use them for the same purpose;but allow me to express my shock when a close friend of mine who lives in the countryside where electricity is still a vocabulary flashed out his IPhone.I got curious and inquired why he found it necessary to own one,of course after congratulating him about having the same!He went ahead to explain to me how nowadays you are not nobody until you prove that you are techno-savvy,when you have access to the latest technological devices.Just then,someone rung him and to my surprise,he couldn't tell which was the call answer option to touch!!"ebu nisaidie,aki i keep forgeting kutumia hii kitu.kwanini waliweka hii kitu complications mingi hivyo?
I presented my apologies since the closer i have gotten to an IPhone is when i happen to be seated next to Chinese classmate(nowadays even Europeans find these gadgets a bit expensive!!)Now blame me for wondering why someone would invest about 100k into a gadget that they do not even know how the hell it functions!
Ujinga ni kununua IPhone na hata haujui kuitumia!!!!
There is this video Clip about two Kenya ladies whose business is selling their hot assets on K-Street.This particular night they could have said 'kahawa imeiva' or 'tumeangukia'.Why because they had gotten a white customer who was able and willing to purchase their merchandise.Only that this guy must have been taught a lesson or two by some Kenyan men i know who assert that 'they cannot buy a cow when they can gte the milk for free'.He should have asked if that mantra applies in all markets including K-Street.The guy apparently got the two cows and drank the milk(it must have been a lot of milk!!)and decided to apply the learnt mantra.That was when hell broke loose!The ladies vowed to teach him a lesson;the milk he had just drank was not just any other milk;it was K-Street Organic milk!He therefore had to pay DOUBLE the price!Now who the hell lied to ladies that white guys have fat wallets?Just because they come on holiday in Kenya?Hey women,do some maths,try to compare the shilling to the euro/Dollar and see why they can afford a holiday!!
Ujinga ni mtu kufikiria ati wazungu wote ni wadosi!mazee huku kuna wazungu machokora na hata hawana makao!!
Kenyans are known for their love of food and especially so chicken,or as my friends from western will call it,ingokho.Kentucky Fried Chicken(KFC) must have done their homework well and discovered what great of a potential the Kenyan market is.That is why a few months ago,they opened their doors in Nairobi and as a way of reaping benefits for a well done job,the fast food joint was jammed on the very fast day it went into business! I can't help to wonder where the hell KFC is getting their chicken from since i find their chicken completely tasteless compared to the tasty KenChick delicacies.Now i can imagine the bandwagon effect;all fast foods will be jumping ship very soon!
Ujinga ni waKenya Kufikiria kuku ya KFC ni tamu kuliko ya Kenchick!kuku jameni ni kuku;labda wa China tu ndio hatakuwa kuku!
Last one for now,is the love of shorthand writing method; c 2likuwa 2wende na cjamuona....nkt! I do not know who invented this method of writing but i know that it is the most annoying habits i have observed in Kenyans recently.
Ujinga ni kufikiria ati kuwa na swagger ni kuwa mjinga na kupenda ujinga!
