Dangerous market people

Wanja — Sun, 05 Aug 2018 15:50:30 +0000

Funny Anecdote Some of the most dangerous people you will meet are found in the market, carrying heavy loads on their backs. This human trailer, transporting a large sack of potatoes or cabbages weighing 20 tonnes, will not think twice about crushing anything that is standing obstructively on his way. He never walks. He just […]

When he is useless but got that good “D”

Wanja — Mon, 09 Jul 2018 16:39:18 +0000

Anecdote He may be broke and jobless, skinny and scrawny, spending most of his days idling on a wooden bench at a friend’s barber shop, talking about football and politics while recharging his phone with a bamba twenty he took on credit from a nearby shop. He shares a small room with a(nother) friend, where […]

That time I was getting my hair braided

Wanja — Sun, 01 Jul 2018 15:45:45 +0000

Hair braiding Getting your hair braided can be quite an experience. As they work around your head, the hairdresser may engage you in intimate body contact, touching you with parts of themselves that make you want to ask them if they mean what they just did, because you feel the same way. For instance, once, […]

Lollipops and your kid

Wanja — Sat, 16 Jun 2018 16:12:01 +0000

I like that those five or ten-shillings lollipops are a quick and welcome alternative when you go with your child to a shop and they demand for a box of condoms, thinking they may be biscuits. The wrapper, although sweaty and sticky on the inside, is light and tears easily. But when it comes to […]

Me and the “praise singer”

Wanja — Mon, 04 Jun 2018 17:26:18 +0000

I came face to face with a man who suddenly stopped in his tracks and begun praising my exquisite beauty, singing and dancing playfully in its honour, and blocking my path. I couldn’t blame him. I know the power of my beauty. Many a man have come before him and sung to me about it, […]

When a power blackout happens

Wordsmithf — Mon, 28 May 2018 13:12:58 +0000

When a brief power blackout happens past dusk, and there is darkness in the world, it suddenly becomes quieter, and voices and sounds become more distinct. I was caught in such a moment. It happened when I was eating from my sufuria, almost finishing a charred, partly-cooked atrocity I called food, that looked like something […]

This rainy weather

Wanja — Sun, 13 May 2018 16:18:47 +0000

This rainy weather is breaking boundaries between boda boda guy and customer, drawing us closer like no other season has, making our trips brief, intimate encounters. On a winding, muddy and slippery route, for instance, as his machine skids this way and glides that way, I find myself wrapping my legs around his waist and […]

Ogbeni stop trying to change her!

Onuora Onianwa — Fri, 04 May 2018 16:17:07 +0000

Stop trying to change her! This is a lot of guys who stress a woman about dating/marriage then want to “change her” when she says yes to them. Suddenly the person they claimed to love and want more than Isi ewu is now too playful and should not be on Facebook anymore. Why does she […]

Drama as female pastor wears military uniform to pulpit & shoots enemies with toy gun

Ariyike — Mon, 23 Apr 2018 10:33:59 +0000

Ahh ! It was hard to control my laughter! What haven’t we seen in this country. What won’t we see in this life?? It’s been pastors running things all the way. With their dramatic ways of presenting the message of God to their congregation or audience in presence and online. The last one was the […]
