Nice of you You can never win an argument with a Kenyan Middle class fellow.. but worse is a villager who has just landed in the city or exposed to urban life.. he is comparable to the guys Masukuma is lamenting about..acquire an accent after a successful VISA application. I cringe when i talk to Nairobi women... that accent? GALS!!! Cant you just drop it.. what the Effff Something in between Shanikwa and Hillary Rodham... worse accent in the world

Everytime he comes 'home', he always speaks proper in mothertongue and never in 'American' accent. So I guess it depends on how fast some Kenyans get 'Americanized'. There is no mothertongue with American accent but there is mothertongue with Nairobi accent! Alot of Nairobians just refuse to speak in mothertongue..... if your name in Kimaiyo berberkwetiot, you should be able to speak in kale, and how can kimani wanjiku not able to speak in Kyuk?

Everyone can relate to a small part of the article. The biggest problem immigrants face when the move to western countries is the inability to decide where they want to live their entire life because no one can be in two place at the same time unfortunately most people in western countries have their minds in two place, their native country and the country they reside in.

How long should one stay in the diaspora before cutting losses if things turn bad? I know some who face hard times refuse to come back home coz they fear their society will laugh at them
