Few things are breathe taking in this world,like
walking in the evening's maze,the noise and haste of a relentless
battalion of humans of Nakuru,they come in all sizes,shapes and colors.
Because I am a banker,I will be in town most evenings including
Saturdays and Saturdays are bad news,I will leave the office in my
shirt,my sweaty self,my bad tie and tired mind,my ass will follow
behind,because it is numb from sitting the whole day,and talking to
funny people-mostly Kikuyus,Kikuyus are a funny lot.I am one but I have
never understood them,we are an overtly suspecting lot-we suspect
everybody especially bankers.We think the only thing they do is plan on
how they will eat our hard earned cash which we all starsh in Equity
bank-by the way if you are a Kikuyu and you are reading this,this is to
notify you that Kenya has close to 70 mid level deposit taking
banks-including Murangá Teachers' sacco and all other 6 Million Saccos
in Kiambu Nyeri and Murangá
Kikuyusand Saccos SMH.
I can spend hours of banking in Kikuyu literature and still fail terribly at ever comprehending it..Kwanza the ones from Nyeri.
So I digress.This article is about the Kenyatta Avenue and all its
vanity.So on days when my month is longer than my notes arranges
spacingly(if you can say that) I will walk home.And I will see things
and people and their things.Here's my list
SELFIE LOT
They
have phones the size of a probox windscreen,phones that require those
wheelbarrow from a certain Western Kenya town to carry and drag
around.They suave once have invested in a selfie stick.They will walk in
small groups of 3 or 4 or 5 or 57,heck the slfie lot can never walk
alone,They are always busy on their phones probably flirting with a
guy/chick they vcan only have in their dreams.they will suddenly and
spontaneously lift hands,no word, and poof pose for a selfie,here is
what I find ubelievably crazy about this lot,a few minutes they are not
talking,they aren't even looking at each other,but when it is selfie
time it is time to smile,and look up-quite literally and photo bomb.If
you are lucky you will appear in one.Some have smelly arm pits.But
selfies must be taken and moments must be documented,
THE PERVERTS
They have a twisted sense of value sytem.They are mostly,young boys
from campus mostly Egerton,Egerton is full of perves,boys full of
piss,what do people go to study in Egerton?they will turn around at the
onset of any female,they will ogle,they will stare,they will lust,they
will whistle at young girls probably taking BBIT in JKUAT,By the way
what do people of BBIT do?They will follow behind young girls from JKUAT
in pencil skirts whose main agenda in life is taking Selfies,wait I
have always thought guys of BBIT especially from JKUAT study Selfie
Studies go to their Instagram and see-thank me later.These perverts,
will take photos of young women butts,they will later post them on
Instagram or Snap Chat,or share with other young full of piss Egerton
perverts on perverted whatsApp groups.If you are a parent and your young
boy goes to Egerton peek into their phone..Just peek.You will discover
something likely to be seen on Keeping up with the Kardashians.I am
sorry.
THE HIPHOP FANATICS
They dress like they are straight
outta Birdman's video,you know those you can't really comprehend?Those
ones.They wear shirts the size of a Kanzu,they are always on head
phones,lost into some of those lucid tunes that prime time Tv
avoids.They are easy at cursing,They will show you the middle finger if
you cross their paths because their philosophy is YOLO-poor souls.They
are a funny lot these ones-They need redemption.
THE STOOD UP
Mostly women dating or trying to date fools that can't keep time,they
are always outside coffee shops and they always look wasted,anxious and
restless,they are punching their phones,the crazy charlatan has been
waited for,for like 9 hours,I suspect the waited for fools are young
full of piss boys from Egerton.see?
They are probably waiting for
Sports Pesa to send them betting money from last weekend so as to turn
up.The stood up will be heavily wading into their Istagram
accounts,because they have mastered wifi passwords for these coffee
shops because they are regular outside standers..haha.Mostly they will
remain there until the kingdom come.I rest my case.
TIRED BANKERS.
They have bad ties,bad shoes,bad moods and bad walking styles,they walk
like they own the street.Like they can buy Kenya Airways and Jambo Jet
and the government all at once.Bamkers are a sorry lot,if it is early
20s in the month they have some little money and thus,they are always
talking loud,laughing hesterically and showing you attitude on the road
because they work in banks-forgive them,there is something money-holding
money does to you.Bankers are high on attitude,I think they suffer from
severe esteem issues,and they have to make up for it by walking like
they can buy Jambo jet and Kenya Airways and the government.
THE SHREWD HAWKERS
These are annoying mostly,they will sell you anything.They will try to
sell you gumboots in January,yes because gumboots are the coolest thing
in January to buy in the evening,There is one that sells watches just
along Maasai Market,he has a Somali accent,he will follow you for
kilometres even after confessing that you are in the thick of things and
the month iko kwa corner..If you are in the company of a woman,they
double their mojo,they have something for "madam" a fake golden chain,a
fave silver ring just anything,you can buy a kidney from a guy who sells
watches along Maasai Market.
THE POLITICIANS
They are always
discussing issues,they stand unmoved on verandahs,on the way of well
meaning Nakurians,people who are having a bad evening and they only want
to get home,They will be discussing how Waiguru will be Ruto's running
mate in 2035,this they know because they went to school with Mzee Jomo
Kenyatta and were even to be included in his cabinet were it not for the
people that "surrounded" mzee,they will pack their bicycles against
walls of the shops adjacent and go full blast on tearing into Musikari
Kombo.they will even say he was bedeviled by his evil people and will
never amount to anything.
THE SPORTS PESA LOT
These ones need forgiveness.
