what did you do?


He came to tell us Pray . But anyway, very few Kenyans bother to take First Aid classes so many dont know what to do

Also a few "very intelligent" conmen/robbers have taught Kenyans and particularly Nairobi folk to be completely merciless outside there. Sometime back Kenyan folk used to mind each other. KAZA ROHO and mind your own business or just ignore, or just stare e.t.c, these are some of problems 'mean' leaders create!

This is so true. It feels naive to "get involved" in some of these situations. No one trusts a stranger in this city?

Nothing. Sad Sad
Had little ones in car. Otherwise I would have found a safe place to park and at least helped him cross the road cuz it seemed like all the cars were confusing him.

Nairobi has always been a heartless city, a swamp of muggers and robbers. I don't know where people get nostalgia from that it was a better city.

It was better some time back, in the 80s


Even early 90s it was ok...drama free life...

It is very sad when life is lost in manner that could be easily managed.

It is very sad and painful when those (whoever they are) who can take action to prevent a death choose not do anything resulting to death of someone; a wife, a husband, a son, a daughter and so on and it often results in raising up of all sorts of questions from the mentioned loved ones.

Its at such sombre moments that such reflections are common.

Some reflections are hypocritical (one cannot righteously accuse someone of the same thing one does), some do not last, but those that do produce reformation.

This scenario reminds me of an incident that happened not long ago, nilikuwa kwa stage when a lady fell down unconscious, and immediately some ladies covered her up and raised her feet kiasi and started pepeta'ing in her face and after sometime she came around.

at times I think its a class thing, people feel uneasy helping someone, especially if they conceive that individual is of a higher class than them, it might have been a different scenario if say a conductor, or shop attendant collapsed at that place maybe the passers by would feel more connected to help.

the typical middle class might feel its a bother to try help, since it might eat up their time and resources, and inconvenience them.
