nAIROBI tHUGISM

Many at times you do wonder where these peak-time petty thugs in Nairobi learn such tricks from,but i can assure you there aint no one definable thug school they bother attend.Recently i decided to have a nyc time with a street boy after i agreed to buy him lunch simply coz i wanted to kill 2 birds with one stone;to demystify my curiosity and to start off the December with a giving heart,you know what i mean.But i tell you i was more than suprised.

We popped into one of those fries and chicken cafes in town,can gues the scenario.And i tell you this is Kenya coz i enjoyed a good number of eyes wondering ,what the heck!But that i enjoyed coz we manged to get a free table easier than quicker.Then this kawaida waiter,"una rafiki leo"(this my joint bana) and i ordered the package.2 plates and a quarter.

Definately the boy was more delighted with my offer but little did i know.So he started off by telling me about his background life which i sympathised with bearing in mind that i was a bit lucky.The boy never knew who his parents were nor did he recognise if he had any of his relative watching.He continued by telling me how he and his comrades back in the street hustle with those merely but kids being told to borrow money from people walkin in the streets whereas those who were like him(gues the age of 15) indulged in the art of pickpocketing and mugging as their livelihood;the art is a very tactical one coz it involves both mental calculations and gues some physique.Well known spots form the basis of street mugging as well as pickpocketing;those places you find overcrowded,those dark chums, those 'injili'(city preachers avenues) just but to mention.When i asked the boy whether they use any kind of weapons he completly refused to tell me and dared me to buy him another quarter to earn my share.Which i did, after all si its Dec.And so it went,"manze ma'ithaa yu bidi uchomoe ile kitu ukonayo,iwe ni shoi,razor ama ata sindano,ndo upate iyo doe.Unajua kuna wale wasee ofcos wu dinda kucoperate na hii ndio dawa yao".He continued to tell me how it was easy to get down with females coz they are so sensitive to the 'sh' thing and and at tyms to even dudes."Ka sato ni siku poa sana since majamaa wengi woupeleka mamanzi wao out.So ukiget dame ameclad vismart jua we hiyo siku ume shiba"."Vitu ka sindano na razor ziutumika poa usiku since utaconvince msee vile iyo sindano ina virusi na ukienda zaidi umtishie kumdisfigure sura na hiyo razor".Damn this was so,"WAA!"for me coz the truth was really being sunlit.Manze at that moment i was feeling rather scared picturing the boy's innocent face.You know how it goes;like you want to kidnap one, look for the less harmful,but i guess for this case i had quite mistaken or underestimated the potential in that boy.I mean it was a complete mismatch of what i had thought of him!But all the same i had to recompose myself and ask more about mugging regarding mama's vibetis."Aaa,mamatha ni hard kuget hizo vibeti zao lakini strategy you apply most hapa.First, lazma ujue ile kibeti ni size gani alafu umuaproach vitactiful.Kuanua hiyo kibeti saa ndio kibarua lakini ni poa umfuate alafu utaim ile place hakuna wasee,kitu next nikuchomoka nayo".He went ahead to tell me how the 'kibeti robbery' was a large investment just like a bank robbery coz of the variables you find in a mama's kibeti. "Nilipata ufunguo ya gari bana".

I dared not to ask more coz of the chicken thing,but in conclusion he gave me a true story scenario which he was allegedly boasting to me about how ill he was.I tell you in my case, mesmerised was an understatement for the shock the story triggered in me.

Guys,aniwe what had i to say but than that man must live.
I gues this applied.
You know you dont try working out an incorigible fellow's conscise for you might as well end up becoming the victim in the situation.
