Great times those. Do you remember 'ponyoks' while playing bano?
We also used to 'ride' tyres by putting water in between the tyre and then using two long sticks to push the tyre.
We used to give the fish (tadpoles, sorry) names - Dumbo (the ones which were pregnant), coloured - pronounced kaladee - (the ones which were multi-coloured)
We took them and put into old Toss jars. We would then fill out sand in the bottom, and put stones. We reared them as pets and changed the water weekly.
I MISS THOSE DAYS!!!!!!!! We had no Toss. It was OMO in cardboard boxes that we used to make safari rally cars with, before "beta" - bearings as wheels.

That's true, we've come so far. From the mud houses of Mathare 4-A (currently called Mradi), to all over the world, i have come along way to be a fully registered civil engineer.
I feel you boss! And we used to go dancing outside "Valley" something hapo Gumba after the bridge. Pia hope you remember 'Kitaa 1,2,3 and so on' Pia I don't know whether u ever visited Kwa DO, now the Chief's camp. Not forgeting watoto kaa chini hapo redeemed I can't exactly remember the days of the month but we used to get free movies 3 times a month. We would go next to the river(Nairobi River) and collect eggs. These we would throw at people at the end end of the movie. The eggs used to stink so bad, that ur parents would know u r coming when u r like 100m away from home. There was also 'kuduru' Eisich and Tao. Enyewe waseee wa gheto tumetoka far. I am representing Mathare hood. Bondeni, No. 10 na Kiboro yenyewe. Anyone in the house?

Am a happy man, hata nikiwa Northern Frontier District. Kita tumeogelea (Ku-duff or Duffo Mpararo), Depo/Mental/Bene tumecheza ball (MYSA) sana, one-touch/chobo ngoto/chenga-funga/mpepeto/shakes/cha mama na baba/prikicho/kalongolongo/pele zote nime-hussle! Watu wote wa Huruma Ngei-2 (esp. Metameta na mbuthia areas) mko wapi? Movie za factual (fakcha), mobile (mobili) etc, Huruma Red Carpet stadium (Currently its a forest of concrete building, poor kids don't have anywhere to play!), zilikuwa noma tu sana! Something funny i have remembered today, what word did u use in ur hood to refer to policemen, them days? Kwetu tumetumia ponyi, sanse,makotkot,...etc! Receive with simplicity everything that happens to you.” ― Rashi
