On the flipside, I pity these fellows esp those in the Americas and Euroope when they come home. The whole village and entire clan expects something from them. Very sad. How do we expect these fellows to come home if we are just waiting to pounce on them? It saddens me that a Kenyan living in Mombasa whose shags is Maua is not expected to give goodies however rich he is but the guy who washes tushosho in Boston is expected to be a Santa claus!


Tabia mbaya, sana let someone mention you stepped out of the country even for a day, and you will hear questions 'uliniletea nini?' you wonder if they give things for free huko majuu.
However hao wa majuu pia they come and show off, i mean if you want to party everyday of the week, that shows you have more than you need, so dont blame me nikiomba cologne...

as someone who has worked abroad I am with the Diasporans on accents. its true! to us HEART, HURT, HAT, HUT all sound the same! some Americans would think you are talking about HOT. HEARD, HARD, HERD, HAD to us all sound the same and to outsiders they are not. COAT and COURT as well. so the accent we accuse them of having is actually the ability to learn how to communicate... WATER being pronounced as WARRRER. TWITTER as TWIRRA, BETTY as BERRRY e.t.c. so it happens.

The one thing that I don't support is the 'forgetting to speak' a local dialect or complaining on the 'stench' of us africans. Even us town folk get the same experience when we go upcountry. We get our grandparents and relatives who have a smoky odour or something else of they are cattle farmers. We don't complain. we hug them and enjoy. When it is required that you go to the loo and you find its a pit latrine located at a lonely corner of the shamba with offcuts used as walls (not to mention rays of sunlight that beam through the intersections). WE DON'T ZUSHA - we simply do our business and go!! When you are stuck in a matt from Nyandarua you get whiffs of all types of smells but olfactory fatigue steps in to sort you out! we don't complain! we understand that THIS IS KENYA!

Buy them some birthday gift package that includes deodorant. They will figure out what to do with it.

Are you sure?
In the offices i hear Nairobians from Buru/Shuge and the likes complaining about guys from Ololo (and Kibich) and such places of not taking showers..
You've never heard stuff like.. 'Men should learn to use deos' 'this is the 21st century.. hata sabuni mtu hawezi pata' and the usual attack on Somalis and their colognes?

tuwache kuwa hivyo. the same things we accuse the diaspora we practice on those we think lesser...
