Its yet another Monday in the City.I've noticed that schools have opened (What with all those kids at the bus stage at 5:30AM and the heavy traffic jam....is there a co-relation between schools opening and the volume of traffic??).It promises to be a lovely day as the sun is out early .I feel good...ready for another day in the office.I will spend the first two hours in the office blogging, checking my mail, and off-course stalking women on facebook.Whatever happened to Kenya's education system....this thing of having tois wake up at 4AM in the name of education is not good.

Anyway, iam at the bus stop at exactly 6:15AM.Like most Nairobians i dont have time for breakfast and iam feeling kidogo hungry.Iam lucky to get a mat and it takes me around thirty minutes to get to town.I head straight to the Kenya Cinema where you find this nameless cafe which serves breakfast.I order for my favorite "Uji na mandazi" and am good for the day.

In the office, its business as usual. Everybody facebooking, reading the online newspaper,checking stocks online......et cetera.someone should invest some time and money and investigate how many man hours are wasted on a single day on such things...maybe the steadman group especially now when there is very little politics to report on....

Of Nairobi's women fashion sense

Has anyone noticed that women in Nairobi don't wear skirts or dresses??

Spare us this Vision 2030 crap

I spent four days in Nairobi attending college in the past week and was really depressed by the state of the city.
I will not waste my blogger time moaning about the traffic mayhem characteristic of our city.....i will leave that for the morning shows in our local FM stations and...oh...before....i forget, those boring TV breakfast/morning/sunrise shows, that every TV station seems to have put on its schedule nowadays (typically Kenyan).

Now, to the flesh of my blog.......I have been thinking about this 2030 thing.For starters, when 2030 checks-in, i will be like 50, yes fefteh years old.Thats when Kenya will host the Olympics (Stevo sare kutu pima), thats when we'll have Seven lane roads, massive airports,shopping malls, security, everybody will be middle-class, et cetera, et cetera..

At 50, i will be grappling with mid-life crisis and only God knows how miserable i'll be.I will not be that excited about racing a motty on the free lane neither will i be happy hitting the rev at a club in Nairobi situated in a shopping mall.Most of the people i know will most probably be dead due to the harshness of today's life....hakuna doh mazee....Pollution in the city today is so high mpaka when you are in Nairobi you'll be forgiven for thinking its that time of the year when flowers procreate (pollination).

So, gava inafaa ipunguze hizo miaka mpaka 2015.Someone should also be thinking of reducing the number of cars in Nairobi.....no..i meant the number of car registration in Kilindini Mombasa and then lets allow the Libyans, Chinese to invest more and employ more and maybe mambo yatakuwa mazuri.....blo
