Mine is a response to those who always criticize the diasporans, a disaporan to a Kenyan is like a Nairobian to a village guy. When you go visit the village in shorts just because you are from the city, this is the same way a disaporan will come home sagging his trousers. When you go asking for cold tusker malt in the village bar yet you know the fridge stopped working in January it’s the same way a disaporan will ask for a Budweiser .You claim the disporans come home with outdated electronics, yet you forget you donate your old electronics to the village folks. Some guys when they visit the village and never talk about their jobs in the city only to be brought back one day in a coffin for the village to know that the guy was actually a . Just some few Kenyan habits
.Running away after seeing the alcoblow .Booze at the end of the month only to start asking for money on the 15th from friends and advance from the boss. .Going to shagz on krissy ama bouncing castles. .Showing off on a car bought on loan payable at 18% (what a rip off) .Buying a phone worth a month salary. .Eating fatty foods coz kitambi is a sign of good health. .Not observing speed limit yet ukishikwa , I did not see the speed sign. .Watching European league (timu yetu) as if you own them with kina Abramovitch. .Waiting for freebies, from serikali, scooping fuel. .Voting for questionable fellows only to start crying wolf after the elections. .Crossing roads anyhowly, politicking day in day out. The list is endless.

The term women first is unheard of, you will find grown men pushing women aside at bus stops even the expectant or handicapped ones are not spared. Very Uncouth in language.No public etiquitte. We love crowds.No wonder our mentality . We are last minute people.There 's always sufficient time till d day. We are not cultured as we would like the world to believe. I think we are confused. We suffer from zubaa syndrome. Ukitaka more,I will unleash.

Poor time keeping. Classic case last evening for a dinner. All foreigners on time, most locals 1-1.5hrs late. Then after dinner, the nyeuthi ni drinks na kufagiliwa kwa restaurant :)

I noticed perhaps the only women spared that indignity are women in those sharp, high heeled shoes. (incidentally, why are so many of our public places/spaces so 'disability-unfriendly? ) Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

Kiash I admire your fighting spirit. Nothing we say to you ever seems to get you down. Have you ever thought of joining 'Kenyan' politics? As for peculiar habits, lets us just agree: the most peculiar Kenyan tribe is Diaspora. You guys are simply strange. We still love you though.
