 Villagers vs Nairobians

Other than discrimination of color, tribe and other types that you may think of there is discrimination of villagers and Nairobians.  Favoring against those that come from the village and Nairobi.

 I know that it is not the only town in Kenya but hey living in this city comes with tufavours so palpable in schools, events and in family gatherings.

You are already thinking about how when you grow up you want to be living in Nairobi, unfortunately you are already grown and the farthest you know is Shamakhoho.

Remember those days in highschool when all of you shamelesly came from Nairobi. The cool kids type who knew all the westlife songs and Dj Lyta Riddimz from the first song to the last and also could differentiate between a movie and a series, the bottomline is that they are all watched.

Those that knew how to wear fitting uniforms bought from Kenya uniform while you from the village had to wear your very long and baggy uniforms made by the village tailor who cared less about measurement but was only rushed by deadlines to make uniforms for the whole village and had to be grateful when yours was made on time.

When you could not speak two English sentences, you still can’t. we don’t blame you, tell us how your primary English teacher did not care about lessons all that worried madam Wang’ombe is whether by 4.00pm her two litres thermos flask of tea will be finished and if you had spelt, he word cow right in her class that day you generously get a cup.

In events we have tents for Nairobians while the rest of you can sit under the scorching sun for an event that is supposed to last the whole day and what you get is water from the nearby river drinking from very old and shambled cups while city people get bottled water. Another reason why you should live in the city.

Food for Nairobians is served in the best plates and spoons and nobody worries when they serve more than one plate but let a village boy serve more than one plate shouts and screams from women while condemning the boy could easily awake the dead and the village chief is immediately summoned for disciplinary.

Latrines are made prior to events purposely for city people while the rest of you can hide your behinds in nearby bushes. Am surprised there is something special about their faecal matters too. There is nothing special about that.

Thanks for keeping it here.
