DEAR MATATU FACULTY

Howdy, I hope this finds you on the highway. I really appreciate the good services. Thanks for starting my day with the maina and king'angi in the morning and ending it with a very blaring hip hop tunes. I stick my eyes on your screens that i forget where i am supposed to alight. 
How do you manage to remember i gave you 100 shillings and not a thousand? Anyway, the change only comes after i have pestered you Couple of times. 
If insults could stick on peoples faces, matatu driver's faces would be crowded with a million insults. Driving through Nairobi roads, a matatu will always make you get mad for no reason. "Now he thinks he owns the road, si achukue aende nayo." you'd hear an angry Toyota premio driver blurt, apparently the matatu forced it's way in his lane. 
We enjoy the shortcuts you use to avoid the snail-pace Nairobi traffic, but not when you try squeezing on a pavement that's next to ditch. That's puting our heartbeats at a race. This doesn't prick the passengers only but also the cruisers of personal cars. You will end up trying to fix your matatu in the lane. 
I didn't mention that you have influence ,right? But yeah you do have influence on this pro-box and Subaru cruisers. You give them the courage to follow your pavement tricks and thus increasing the road rage of fellow kenyans on roads. 
Finally, how do you manage to hike the fares and still convince us that you said 70/= to town and not 50/=? You must have been those creative students who could fodge a mathematics graph. As I write this, am in one of the famous MATATU's branded catalyst, and no lie am enjoying the ride. Thank you. 
Yours faithfully

TOP TEN PICK UP LINES THAT REALLY WORK

Image
Starting up a conversation with a girl is the hardest thing ever. I can bet my bottom dollar that most of kenyan men out here find it hard to express their feelings in an appropriate manner. Believe me, love is an art. Creativity matters bruh. Here are the top 10 pick up lines that will miraculously work. 1. I'm sorry, I don't think we've met,  I wouldn't forget such a pretty face.  If you approach any girl with this line be ready for a killer smile. Girl's love hearing positive compliments, even if it's a lie,  go on,  lie to her she's pretty. 2. Can I have directions (to where?) to your heart This will obviously  get her offguard. She will at first be ready to give directions till you finish your statement. Would she still be stingy to give directions to her heart?  not at all. 3. Can I take your picture to prove to all my friends that angels do exist?  Now,  no one really knows if Angels do exist. But here we have one... Pose with her and

A DUDE’S PLEA ON A RICH LADY

Image
"Patricia where do you stay? " Bruno popped,  tagging the message upon Patricia's past classy-looking text. The WhatsApp group had been silent and the two had discussed alot as if they were in the DM. Other participants were mute untill Patricia announced that she stays at Karen. Messages from chirande, holly weezy and coco started flowing. "Bombeee!!!" coco  exclaimed " but it's so boring to be rich." Patricia added. " How boring ?"  Bruno asked "you only feed on pizza and junk daily." came her reply, brief as a miniskirt. "you can't buy money with happiness."  chirande added. " yeah. Here at karen you only hear cars passing... No other noises." Patricia's text came with a visual part of it in every person's mind. This seemed to escalate Bruno's hunger of knowing her deeper. "am sure someone is about to tell us she goes to the washrooms in a car." Bruno chopped in, accompa

SHORTCUT TO SIXSOME

Image
We walked in fear of being robbed. At the same time we had a trepidation of being raped. Yes,  I said raped. Klaus had been silent the whole walk from Getuma's crib. It was Getuma's idea that we should pass through the chwom . He had spiced the idea with this words, " by tha hio chwom hukua na mapoko idlers ... Mnaeza pita nao mkivuka iv o home ."  (by the way that shortcut has idol prostitutes  ...you can grab them as you dash home. )   If it were not for the 'commercial ladies', we could have been on the main road walking our way home on  the lighten pavements.It was midnight.  " I think Getuma was just playing with our wits." Klaus finally opened his mouth. " why do you say so? " I asked,  peeking back and sideways incessantly. " 'cause... I can't spot any hoe... " " chillax... We still have a long way to go. I guess they are near the club that's near the junction. Business mind bruh... They can't mar
