In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

As I leave at daytime, I gather 100bob notes n distribute them to the subuas n sufferers, n the older women who know me. This keeps borrowers at bay somewhat. Lakini the drunks! damn, they don't relent, so when go to the bar, I reserve like 5 beers for the first 5 subuas. We live in a society, can't afford to be too mean TULIA.........UFUNZWE!

You will be surprised at how much they appreciate. For the men if they drink its easy, carry them to the local shopping centre and hook them up with those kali kali plastic bottled alcohol as you drink your favourite, they will not mind. For the hardcore drinkers, give them aka 2sok at around 11.00 am to go to the changaa den, when they get there, they will share with the usual crew, other crew members will ofcourse keep sharing their chang'aa they will ensure they don't leave the changaa den till around 4.00 am the next morning. If the men don't drink, then arrange some mbuzi choma. I really hate giving men money for whatever reason. For those relas who call you asking for m-pesa, always promise to return their calls and then ignore them after that, they will eventually give up.

That said, social capital is important as society will give you free services for your social needs e.g. Dowry. Maybe the best is to deal with them like @xyzee.

Dress like a hustler! @Impunity this one really works for me. I have brown coudroy trao I bought in 2004 at Gikomba just near the Machakos bus station; 90% of the times I have been seen in Shags I have always been seen in it! It has a conspicuously dark brown patch on the left thigh area. I leave my car 15 km away in the homestead of a former primary school teacher who is a close friend to me, in fact he is my grass-root informer. I then board a pikipiki boda boda @50 bob to home. Jeez! Just saw that you don't give a 2k? I have about 23 close relaz, in fact extended families and 2nd cousind; if you multiply 2000 times 23 then you know what you will be giving out in a month!!!! And these relaz have got their relaz too from their wives side or husbands side who will sooner rather than later get the wind of your little wealth and come for it too. And, if & When you bid the world goodbye, God forbid... Thay shall qualify ad dependants.... imagine all relas, 23 asking to share with ur wifee n kidsur little hard earned peanuts.... SHAME!""!

Impunity u just cracked me up Though the coudroy tao is made in US state of Texas it cost me a mere 100 bob and has outlasted 10s of my other garments! They must think you are the poorest guy around ,do they give you something to take to town like Maize, flour or potatoes to have something to keep you going. Africa belongs to Africans.
