I've noticed there is a huge chunk of RTS (Return To Sender) diaspora types back in town. Most claim to be back home so they can "feel grounded" and miss home. Yet when you hear their conversations, they spend most of their time telling us how things were so much better back in X ( for X use SA, USA, UK, Canada, Dubai etc). They also make fun of local ethnic accents, while they talk in fake twangs that sound nothing like English. Share your observations. All for a good laugh!  Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

I agree, when the Nairobians come back to Eremo village, they disturb us.They insist they cannot take ordinary water and are seen carrying mineral water, some who used to go to bushes to defecate and used leaves to wipe their behinds now insist on their kids using toilets and cannot allow their kids to use latrines plus so many other bad things!!!!!!! These Nairobians!!!!!!!!
