In 'Kafete' the 2nd years have always traded accusation on each other of 'not been tight' with the comrades from Kape and Maseno been the masters of this. Unfortunately, no one is willing to take the blame. Rumor has it that the loudest complainers are those of us who are single and our only way of getting all those 'goodies' of different variety (not to mention sizes), and in one go is through the class get 2gethers.
The class dinner (ilikuwa mamayao) brought us to reality that one can built a mud hut on top of a gold mine, sleep in it hungry and sit all day cursing the creator as to why he is so unfair yet 'vitu' ziko pale pale, papo papo hapo ulipo. Rumor has it that’s why the brand 'Nyama'' formally a men’s only thing was re-branded to include those of the opposite sex and guess that came in handy as a knight in shining armor after all the devastating drought of goodies. (hugs, smiles and.......name it).
But reviewing the get 2gethers from a different angle, I have noted some 'trade marks' habits that surely show where you belong. Here are a few:
• The machipo boys. This guys really shika me especially with thea unsaid slogan, "kaa hakuna machipo haiwezi shika". Trust me; for this guys machipo accompany anything be it Nyama, Beer or Ice-cream and anywhere, a bash in Kape, Nyama in upper hill, pork in Kafete or rock night in cani. Rumor has it that the reason some of them were late for class dinner, was that they had to have some machipo to get in the mood and reorganize thea vibes.
• The Ruaraka boys. The golden waters really do these boys some good. so much that whenever thea is a black out in Kafete, a quick visit is organized to 'kamuteini' to recharge the inner eyes and some times to open 'the inner heart' commonly known as kufungua roho, Rumor has it that during the get together, King King (KK) could be spotted hanging in some of thea coats, how true it is, I don’t know
• The lib boys. Under captain Phillip its Books books and more vitabu. I mean books is everything to this guys (they know better than all the others why they are in Kafete). No wonder you don’t see many of them in any get together unless we organize one in the lib. Rumor has it that the last Nyama session they sent an apology letter saying that they could not make it coz they were arranging the lib in readiness for next sem.(I hear watu watakuwa serious). Rumor also has it that they were protesting that the class dinner starts at 10.00 (after lib imefungwa, bet kantai doesn’t jua this). May be they required some time to research on 'how to turn dinners to opportunities ' and probably write a few Mwakenyas. Funny enough, Some of these guys have already named thea Board of Directors once they make it to one of Kenya’s top companies.
People, if we have to be together, we must have a way of accommodating and appreciating each other. I mean create an environment where Machipo, golden waters and books can co-exist. We need to find a mediator to strike a space sharing deal between the three parties and rumor has it, who is better suited than MZEE KAZIKWISHA (I don’t jua his real name), a person who we can all trust yet we jua little or nothing about him. But that’s a story for another day.
Watch out for the Maseno version
