HOW TO KNOW A KENYAN
1. if you suddenly stop on the street and point at the sky, they will all stop and look.
2. if someone is being magged they will not help him but will stop, make sure they get all the drama and then go and tell their pals.
3. they will refuse to enter an empty matatu and enter an overloaded one because the overloaded one wont stop to pick passengers.
4. they will suddenly acquire a weng when talking to a mzungu
5. when they go to the States or Brito for 3 months they come back with a weng but when the go to India for 5 years they do not come back with an Indian accent.
6. they all know a public figure personally.
7. they drive at 30km/hour when it is raining.
8. they abandon their cars in the middle of the road when scratched by another car and wait
for the cops to come and view the accident
scene (a scratch only!)
9. it is manly to have spent a night or two in a police cell and cool to have a criminal record.
10. the chicks under dress in cold weather and overdress in hot weather and the jamaas over dress in all kinds of weather.
11. All kenyans have shaken the president's hand
12. they rush home at 7.00p.m. or 9.00p.m. to watch news which they follow like a soap opera eg this sizzling story that ran for a week;
Monday -Raila; i am an old guard in the game of politics this young people don't know what they are saying.
Tuesday - Mungatana; if Raila eats mbuta from lake victoria let him know i also eat crocodiles from Tana river.
Wednesday - Raila; when a dog is barking at you, you tell its master to call it off
Thursday - Mungatana; let Raila know that i am also a man and i can impregnate a woman with twins.
Friday - Raila;
Mungatana and i are the best
of friends, his father and i knew each other for a long time
Saturday - Mungatana; Raila is like a father to me and in fact he is my god-father in politics Sunday - Mungatana (at a rally with other coast m.p's); we are calling for the sacking of Raila Same
Sunday - Raila; it is not Mungatana who sacks ministers. that boy was in nappies when i was a lecturer at the university. it is only the president who can sack me..........
...........and the drama continues.
if you have examined yourself and are lacking in all of these qualities, then you are loosing your Kenyan touch and you need to pull up your socks.
