Sabina Joy.

This piece was first informed by a slight altercation then spurred by bravado. A friend told me that I’m a “middle-class sympathiser” masquerading behind my yellowish rants as a way of “validating and lauding” the middle-class idiosyncrasies and that I should consider my modus operandi and “stop representing” the farce that this dated landscape has become.

Bullshit, I spat, I don’t representing anyone, and I only write about the middle-class because they are sitting ducks. “Sadly, you have become what you write,” she egged on, “and one day, when this middle-class skin has grown old, you will be left un-reinvented and stewing in your own reservoir of inoperable words.”

I asked her, “are you here to knock my head against a wall or is this going anywhere other than badly?”

“Get out of that shell, Biko.”

“By doing what?”

“Leave what you know. Go to the unknown,”

“Unknown? Like where this conversation is headed?”

“Close. Why don’t you one day show that you have the cajones to write about something challenging?”

“I actually like that.”

“What, the idea?”

“No, cajones. People don’t use that word enough.”

Stony silence.

“OK, fine. What do you want me to write about that you imagine will get me out of my comfort zone?” I inquired.

“Write about Sabina Joy.”

Enter stage left, Wanjohi Githae. Reporter with The People newspaper. He hails from Kerugoya Town and attended Kaitheri Primary School. By the way when some Kuyus tell you a name of a school they attended you always imagine they are pulling your leg because the names sound like a traditional herb: Riamukurwe Sec School, Ithekahuno Sec School, Gathuki Mundu Pri School (meaning: shake up a guy), Kianguenyi Sec School, Kangubiri Sec School, Kiangoma Sec. School (meaning: the devil’s), Muthuani Sec School…It goes on and on like a horror movie credit.

You meet someone who attended one of these schools and you want to reach out and hug them. Hug them and tell them, “it’s all right, you are here now, you are here, that’s all that matters.”

I met Wanjohi in 2010 during some KTB media trip where we scored the country from Laikipia to Tsavo. Fun times. On our last stop at Shompole Lodge (now defunct), a top-of-the-range resort clinging on the edge of Nguruman escarpment and charging about 50K per person per night for a view and a bed, we shared a large condo which had two monstrous four post beds, a private pool, no windows or walls facing the escarpment and a view so stunning it looked like a prank.

Anyway, this morning I stir awake because the room is suddenly awash with orange as the sun is rising. From my bed I could see the sunrise without leaving it and as I lie there half-asleep, I see Wanjohi walking across the room, heading to the loo. He’s naked. Buck-naked. I’m stunned. Not stunned at his nakedness but at the fact. But he’s nonchalant, shuffling across yawning and scratching his back. That’s how life is; you wake up hoping to see the glorious sunset instead you get your sun blocked by a naked man. And you dare complain about traffic? If that were Nyanza it would have been a different story, because the only folk who walk naked at dawn are night-runners. Wanjohi, unbeknownst to him, has that recessive night-running gene.

I called him last week and told him, “Boss, how about you take me to Sabina Joy, I want to check it out. Two hours tops. I’m buying.” He was confused but agreed.

You might know Sabina Joy as Karumaindo. It’s legendary, a mythological train that tirelessly keeps chugging and coughing decades of lustful notoriety. Karumaindo has been there since God was a teenager. It’s ideally a whorehouse, but if you are of the more decent disposition you will call it a bar. Everybody who has been in this town longer than a week has, at least, heard one urban lore about Karumaindo. It’s revered for its licentiousness; it’s total lack of sympathy to the naïve or the urban-virgins. Depending on whom you ask, it’s the den of thieves and the spot in town where Jezebel hangs her bra. Karumaindo swallows the innocent and spits them out baptised in the roguish ways of Nairobi. Although you might be with people you are always alone at Karumaindo because the quest for the pleasures of the flesh is a journey pursued alone.

And I was dying to see it for myself.

So 8pm last Friday. I leave my wallet, phone and watch in the car, not because I’m a wuss but because…OK, because I’m a wuss. I meet up with Wanjohi and together we walk down Kimathi Street, cross Uhuru Highway at Hilton and past the statue of Tom Mboya that stands forlornly in the dark pointing towards statehouse and in the process turning into a pitiful emblem of the Luo’s reiterated inability to rise to the big seat. Wanjohi reads me the riot act: don’t order anything that can’t be opened before you, so no whisky, or brandy; don’t leave your drink unattended; always keep your eye on the drink; minimise bathroom breaks; don’t use a glass; stay close; don’t get drunk; don’t touch any chic.

“What if she touches me first?” I wonder.

We stroll past National Archive, past hawkers and street bums and vagabonds and the evening crowd rushing home with the weight of the day slung over their shoulders. We pass that square before Ambassador Hotel, where all the suited Luos carrying folded newspapers (The Standard mostly) hurdle in circles talking siasa animatedly. You will not find a more boisterous and dedicated political panel of analysts South of Limpopo.

Sabina Joy doesn’t announce herself because Sabina Joy doesn’t need to announce herself. That’s how cocky Sabina is – whoever she was/is. One moment you are walking past the smorgasbord of heaving commerce at the Ambassador stage and the next the entrance is upon you. Only a small dusty Tusker shingle above directs you in.

Once you cross this threshold you have crossed the Rubicon. Now you are in a rabbit hole. (A bit of pun, of course). You walk up a tunnel-like winding staircase, following the thudding sound of the muffled music above. You walk up this tunnel of debauchery with other men, trudging up determinedly and with all that unbridled hope of those led by their crotches.

On the second floor there is a security guy with rheumy eyes the colour of strong tea, patting us down, groping our pockets and impatiently waving us in. We are patted by about four different security guys. Then we walk down this corridor with flashing gaudy disco lights. There are girls writhing around in what in this part of town passes for sexy. Fat girls, slim girls, light girls, dark girls, pretty girls, girls with faces only a mother can love, girls with faces that can fit at Brew Bistro, girls in heels and girls in sandals, girls

with long weave, bald girls, girls with talons for toes, dusty-footed girls, red eyed girls, girls with red lips, smiling girls, scowling girls, girls with teeth from Nakuru, girls with breasts that can asphyxiate you, girls with chests so flat you can shoot pool on them…then iron your shirt off them. They all have one thing in common; they are here for you. At a price.

Karumaindo comes as a sinking disappointment when we walk into the bar. Based on the stories I heard, I pictured a dysfunctional, treacherous and extremely seedy joint. I pictured something smoky with patrons all wearing those Kikuyu hats and tapping their pointed-toed boots to Mugithi songs that Wanjohi was to translate. I expected everybody in there to wear loose pleather leather jackets and big golden chains around their necks. In my head, the common word spoken there was going to be cigana?

Instead it isn’t; it’s seedy all right but you don’t get the feeling that danger lurks around. And there isn’t anybody wearing pleather jackets or pointed-toed boots. I’m crushed.

The sitting area is T-shaped. Tables are wedged close to each other with men slumped in them sipping their beers. There are TV screens all over, showing National Geographic, of all the things for crying out loud. The men raptly watch a scene of male Gazelles locking horns. There are old posters on the wall, some still proclaiming Lil Kim as the hottest star. How old is Kim now, 60? Fans whiz overhead. At the end of the room is a cage from where the deejay peeks like a caged psychopath. That cage for some reason reminds me of Hannibal Lector. Sabina Joy is packed. And it smells. Not a foul smell, but this smell of blue-collar struggle.

I order two beers. Wanjohi’s Pilsner comes in this titanic bottle that the size of a rocket launcher. I’m curious to see how he will lift it to his mouth alone. We drink. Girls parade by sipping from plastic bottles. Dodgy looking men pretend to ignore them, like they just came here to watch National Geographic then they will be on their way. Soul music blares from the speakers hanging overhead as 80’s disco lights flash about.

A guy selling boiled eggs stops by our table. We shake our heads, he moves along. Guy selling Kenyan porn next stops by. Again we shake our heads, he moves on. This girl with very dark elbows walks by eyeing us. We shake our heads…at her elbows. We drink and make small talk. My beer is warm; I might as well order a boiled egg to go with it.

At 10pm, I call this girl. You know how Tony Soprano used to call those strippers over? It’s very chauvinistic. It has to be chauvinistic, that’s the only way it can work. But it won’t work at Mercury. It works here because here is ideally a cave and we are all cavemen and the year is, well, what year was Lil Kim a hot commodity?

This girl I summoned wedges between Wanjohi and I and offers me a smile that is supposed to make me imagine that she is shy. Well, she’s as shy as a wolf. She’s light with a decent face but a body that contests that decency; large belly a flat bum, small legs and a tyre around her just in case El Nino rocks up unannounced. You guys, I believe, fondly refer to it as a “Kikuyu body”. Let’s not get emotional. Priss.

She tells me her name is Samantha. No matter, at Karumaindo names mean squat. I tell her I’m Musa.

I offer to buy her beer, she orders for canned Pilsner, which I pop open for her and she raises it up and we knock up in cheers like decent folk. Samantha has this red tattoo of a Playboy bunny on her right breast. Yes, I was looking. They were in my face, OK? What did you want me to look at instead, the Gazelle’s locking horns? I ask her what the tattoo is and she (I swear) holds the whole poor breast up (jeez Samantha, I forgot to mention I like my tea black) and asks, “Hii? Hii ni Playboy, I am a Playgirl.”

“No, you are a bunny,” I correct her.

“Hapana, mimi ni Playgirl,” she insists and I’m not in the mood to debate. Playgirl it is. Samantha is sort of funny. Wanjohi had warned me not to ask questions that would get us stabbed, so I struggled to keep it light and nonchalant. I’ve always wanted to interview a hooker. Or a Madame. Can you imagine the kind of male insecurity stories these women harbour in them? I say insecurity because I think – and I might be right- for you to pay for sex directly (not by buying Pinot noir at Level 8) is a sign of insecurity. For now Samantha will do even though my hands are tied behind my back because Wanjohi is listening.

But I needn’t to because she’s a talker. She tells me that she doesn’t service light older men because she never knew her father and her mother wasn’t sure who her father was and she telling her he was either a Kikuyu one or an Ethiopian.

She laughs a lot and when she does she sort of rams her body playfully into my shoulder, like we grew up together and shit.

The guy selling boiled eggs stops by again and looks at me in case I’ve had a change of heart. I shake my head. He looks over at Samantha who asks me if I want an egg. Well, not the one he is selling, I tell her in Kiswahili and it, unsurprisingly, flies right over her weave.

At some point she removes my hat from my head and asks if I wear hats. I tell her all the damn time. She asks why? I tell her to look tough. Don’t I look tough? She puts it back on my head and takes a good look at me and says no. She asks if she can keep it. I tell her she can if she lets me keep her Playboy bunny. She laughs and rams her shoulder into mine. Then without warning she gets right to it and asks, “sasa itakuwa Kanu ama?”

Kanu? Like Moi Kanu? I’m confused, is this a political parties recruitment drive? I ask her what that is and she laughs and says “Uko na utoto!” I swear to her that I don’t know what she means. She then wags her finger in that Kanu fashion (tingisha kidole fame) and looks at me naughtily. I still don’t get it. Then she wags it again, then I get it and laugh. You get it, too, don’t you? Wagging finger? You get it now? Alama ya jogoo? Anyone?

Sigh. She means sex and her finger is supposed to represent a phallus. These girls are creative.

I ask her how much. She says five hundred. I snort and tell her she is out of her mind, I aint paying 500bob, not with that belly on you, baby! OK, that last bit I think to myself. She says that’s the going rate. I talk her down to 300bob just to test my negotiation skills, or her desperation level. She tells me there are rooms on the same floor that go for 200bob for 20mins. There, she says, you are timed, which I gather means no foreplay or asking stupid questions like “how was your day today?” I ask her to come get me in 45mins that I need to discuss business with my pal first. She leaves obediently. Wanjohi and I sneak out 20mins later.

After all I heard Sabina Joy didn’t make look at life different or give me any unique insight into humanity or the trade of flesh. It didn’t illuminate me or the people I saw. It didn’t bubble to the surface my sense of morality. I didn’t find it gritty or profound or humbling in its decadence. Actually it disappointed me. Cheated me. Raised my hope then dashed it. Maybe it’s because I’m jaded by such novelty. Or maybe it’s the first impression I got when we walked in; that image of grown men watching gazelle’s lock horns on National Geographic. Has foreplay sunk to such lows?

  1. Bikozulu is back.You have made my afternoon. High five your friend.Karumaindo has been there since God was a teenager, Jezebel hangs her bra at Karumaindo, girls with faces only a mother can love..eh Biko Cigana…really stood out

    2
  2. goodness….with a face only a mother can love….awesome writing. and yes, got the same feeling when i visited the place, Like watching Man U draw with Cardiff….such an anti climax.

    1
  3. Last and most important rule of that place & Florida’s ‘leave no man behind’.

    Even if the guy insists you get him out of the door, then you have done all you can, he can return of his own volition on his own.

  4. Nice piece……Sabina….The only place where you spend more time watching and holding your drink more than anything else. But please Biko,watch your grammar..

    1
  5. I ask her what the tattoo is and
    she (I swear) holds the whole poor breast up
    (jeez Samantha, I forgot to mention I like my
    tea black…. Funniest Ish I have ever read!!!

    1
    1. *I forgot to mention I like my tea black* this should be the punch line but I don’t get it. Please explained to me. Sorry, I’m dumb (._.)

  6. “At some point she removes my hat from my head and asks if I wear hats” Did she really? Jezebel hangs her bra at Karumaindo 🙂

  7. Yeah Biko.Foreplay has sunk that low…and such is life in our times.. You’re a wordsmith boy!Ati Karumaindo has been there since God was a teenager! he he..

  8. Many years ago as students we visited Karumaindo. One of the guys prepositioned to one of the hookers for sex. The hooker asked : how much do you have? The guy : sina chochote. the Hooker: and how dare you get a hard-on? ( well she said in Kikuyu: Na ugokia?).

    1. The hooker asked : how much do you have? The guy : sina chochote. the Hooker: and how dare you get a hard-on? ( well she said in Kikuyu: Na ugokia?).- Dead!!

    2. #holomisa. I preposition people all the time. I prepositioned the waitress who served my lunch 2 hours ago. I told her to place the chapo beside the plate of ndengu. Then I prepositioned my boss when he asked where the report was. It was on his desk!!!!! and I’ll definitely preposition my sister when I see her later. She always asks where the remote is and it’s always on the bookshelf. Always!!!!!

  9. Hilarious and witty as usual!

    That ‘defuncteness’ of Shompole is sad but we accepted and moved on….

    Re the names of the schools, a drive along the Eastern bypass will make you feel sorry for the children attending some of the schools there…Mihang’o Primary School, etc

    http://project44eveandadam.wordpress.com/2013/11/04/tell-them/

  10. Biko a pal of mine says you should come meet Kikuyu chics from Kabete n maybe you will adjust that description of a Kikuyu body….i loved the piece though…humor all over

  11. Went there when I was in cole we used to call it Hall 14 HA! I disliked it coz i aint the kind of guy who buys what I can get for free [or so I think].

  12. ….”I meet up with Wanjohi and together we walk down Kimathi Street, cross Uhuru Highway at Hilton and past the statue of Tom Mboya that stands forlornly in the dark pointing towards statehouse…” Uhuru Highway at Hilton? You need to know that side of Nairobi dude. Awesome piece as always.

  13. Beautiful Piece. Biko, where did you go to school? I bet 90% of boys who went to high school in Nairobi or any male student who went University of Nairobi (especially upto late 90s) has spent considerable amount of time in SJ.

    I spend a good time there. My 4 friends had girlfriends. What you may not know is also SJ girls move to other joints later at night. We would pass by SJ early in the evening, then go to the “nicer” joint and find the same hookers at the same time.

    Anyway, the legend is the last time Sabina was closed was during 1982 coup! And it’s one of the highest beer selling bars in Nairobi, only second to Simmers!

  14. Don’t get the disappointed ending or the moral ambivalence……SJ is gritty and profound…..because of Gazelles locking horns….

  15. As usual, totally entertained! But you should have paid her something for her trouble… She did teach you a few things!

    1. Thought about it too. It has 2 possible interpretations. Kenya is north of Limpopo but maybe he is comparing to talent south of Limpopo. Ama Biko ulitaka kutumia hiyo phrase so bad, LOL.

  16. Biko, did you visit the urinal in that place? The whores along the corridor are bold! The last time my friend lured me there, i walked along the corridor to the urinal. One of the whores sensed my ‘virginity’ regarding this place. She grabbed my crotch (almost exactly like michael jackson used to do it), then smiling brazenly said “Twende shot!”. I froze, gave her a murderous look, and disappeared down that winding staircase. My friend laughs at me to this day. Heck, the hooker laughed too. I ain’t going there ever again

    1. @General Zod
      If you used to watch MJs electrifying performances, then you would noticed that he had a thing for his crotch. Imagine some hooker doing that on you as if she has just dropped her purse in your boxers! You too will do something to save your lineage….sorry,balls.

  17. Did my rounds there on Friday…..thought i imagined sporting a ‘brainy’ head huddled in some corner!! That was You!!

  18. foreplay has sunk to such lows that potential clients watch gazelles lock horns on Nat. Geo before they procure some human flesh! haha Biko you nailed it with this sad observation.
    Students are the people to find in such places most of the times. Check out a similar story here

  19. ”I snort and tell her she is out of her mind, I aint paying 500bob, not with that belly on you, baby! OK, that last bit I think to myself”
    as usual Biko you never disappoint. Loved this piece.

  20. Biko are you new in Nairobi? You have never gone to SJ? from this sentence you must be new in nairobi “…. we walk down Kimathi Street, cross Uhuru Highway at Hilton” – See more at: http://199.192.19.46/~bikozulu/sabina-joy/#sthash.b8hOxhSZ.dpuf

    Uhuru highway is the road passing between parliament and uhuru park

    1. Or the Dedan Kimathi statue and the millions that cross this place could make it represent Uhuru highway, donge Biko? 🙂

    2. And Tom Mboya does not point towards State House, he points towards Tok Komwanda, or city stadium. It has become a shrine for the Gor Mahia faithful

  21. Ithe Kahuno, Kiangoma and Gathuki Mundu – These schools are all close to my home in shags. That Riamukurwe can’t be too far either seeing that I’m from Mukurwe-ini. Thumbs up to my village naming system 😀

    Gathuki is a a tree stump. Gathuki mundu is a tree stump that looks like a human being.

    Kiangoma Secondary has since changed its name to Mukurwe-ini Boys High.

  22. “it’s revered for its licentiousness; it’s total lack of sympathy to the naïve or the urban-virgins. Depending on whom you ask, it’s the den of thieves and the spot in town where Jezebel hangs her bra. Karumaindo swallows the innocent and spits them out baptised in the roguish ways of Nairobi.”

    “/

  23. “girls with teeth from Nakuru, girls with breasts that can asphyxiate you, girls with chests so flat you can shoot pool on them…then iron your shirt off them…. Sawa Boss, you totally killed it yet again!

  24. Great as always, saw the title and was excited finally! An anti climax I must say, national geographic????

    www.chic-on-thrift.blogspot.com

    1. You write very well…you remind me of George Ogutu – NMG.
      Well, thank you for the interview today. The Tourism industry is struggling but we can all do something, great work at Travel Africa!

  25. You cracked me open.Your description of kikuyus,loool.N be advised Samantha’s body is two in every kikuyus.
    Awesome post!

  26. As usual, nice one. Some nitpics (sorry if they have already been pointed out):

    Not scored but scoured.
    You cant “cross Uhuru Highway at Hilton” because Hilton is far from Uhuru Highway. I would have suggested Intercon but you mention Tom Mboya’s statue.

  27. used to go there while in university.
    I used to have a hoocker friend who understood I didnt have much money.
    She would steal from her clients (pick pocket in the process of caresing) and we would drink the proceeeds

  28. this was really funny…especially the “That’s how life is; you wake up hoping to see the glorious sunset instead you get your sun blocked by a naked man. And you dare complain about traffic? – “….made my afternoon..

  29. i wonder how u even come up with phases like “where jezebel hangs her bra” and “when God was a teenager” maybe the latter would rattle some religious folks. excellent read,,,i will go to sabina joy and make my own observations

  30. This did me in…

    “girls with chests so flat you can shoot pool on them…then iron your shirt off them.”

    You should go back and pay Samantha for her time.. Even 150 shillings will do..

  31. Karumaindo swallows the innocent and spits them out baptised in the roguish ways of Nairobi
    You guys I believe, fondly refers to it as a ” Kikuyu body”. Let’s not get emotional.Priss

    Always a joy to read your blogs

  32. A well written piece as always. I have actually gone all the way to your first post. This blog should be printed out as a book….”a face that only a mother can love” “where Jezebel hangs her bra” Cant stop laughing!

  33. Great LOL moments from this piece.
    Are women allowed to go to this SJ place? Need to see to believe some things coz eish…

  34. Once again Biko has done it again —- it’s the den of thieves and the spot in town where Jezebel hangs her bra. Karumaindo swallows the innocent and spits them out baptised in the roguish ways of Nairobi.

  35. Lol…. Mate you have made my day. “You guys, I believe, fondly refer to it as a “Kikuyu body”. Let’s not get emotional. Priss.” Great read!!!!

  36. Girls parade by sipping from plastic bottles. Dodgy looking men pretend to ignore them, like they just came here to watch National Geographic then they will be on their way.

    This girl I summoned wedges between Wanjohi and I and offers me a smile that is supposed to make me imagine that she is shy. Well, she’s as shy as a wolf.

    Great piece Biko.

  37. Went there once because that’s what you do if you’re a regular guy who’s spent any reasonable amount of time in Nairobi.

    Went back to confirm what I experienced the first time round. I think it’s the saddest joint in Nairobi.

  38. another day, another masterpiece.
    although for all your poetic aptitude, am afraid you missed the nuance in that KANU metaphor. if you hang around hos more, you might come to overstand it someday.
    keep em coming though! and write a book please

  39. Musa, I see you haven’t lost your edge. More than anything, I think people seek your words for the humor. You do it well. Btw, it appears there is now more than one Mtu Flani among the commentators. It’s the only kind of flattery that irritates me. Jesus, you dont have to be very imaginative to create your own monikers people!

  40. Great piece….can,t stop laughing.

    ” I call this girl. You know how Tony
    Soprano used to call those strippers over? It’s
    very chauvinistic. It has to be chauvinistic, that’s
    the only way it can work. But it won’t work at
    Mercury. It works here because here is ideally a
    cave and we are all cavemen and the year is,
    well, what year was Lil Kim a hot commodity? “

  41. This Poem was conceived and born at Karumaindo. Talking Eyes >> http://otiatopali.blogspot.com/2011/09/talking-eyes.html

    And your friend was right, you are lost into the middle class. You never saw any thieves male or female yet they are there plenty plenty. You dint see the seasoned whore, the new whore, the bar man who’s seen it all, the guy who cant buy and therefore ends up wanking at the urinal, the whores at the corridors who drag you by the balls etc. You went in with a closed mind.

  42. Hello,
    My name is Patricia Liébanas and I get in touch with you because we would like to count on your participation for an advertising campaign about a company we think you can find interesting.
    If interested, please get back at me as soon as possible for further details.
    We would like to count on you in this campaign as well as in the future.

    Regards,
    Patricia

  43. Yes, I was looking. They were in my face, OK? What did you want me to look at instead, the Gazelle’s locking horns?
    Love your sense of humor
    Brilliant!!!!!

  44. Guys! guys!! I think we left Biko behind in 2013; sprawled out in Sabina joy.. Or maybe he went back for Samantha and got devored by a wolf,,, (the way he kept talking of that bunny…!? Sigh..) Someone please go find him… We miss him here… .

  45. Interesting read! Now you should attend some political rally or the ‘bei ya unga’ Demo’s and write about it!

    www.markmaish.com

  46. Haha!! Holds the whole poor breast..perhaps that was a form of foreplay.
    This story reminded me of an unexpected encounter I had..

    http://loungersperch.wordpress.com/2013/01/28/the-day-i-said-no-to-a-stripper/

  47. oh Biko, you nailed it !! Got out of your shell and scored a big one!! You made my day, its been a tough week and i had some much needed belly laughs!!!

  48. Dear Principal Biko

    We, the very obedient students of the high school are wondering where you have been. u see, since we reported this yr, we’ve been wondering if the school closed without our knowledge, or maybe u got transferred by the DEO due to sexual harrassment as has been the fate of other principals et cetra. u see sir, we are lost and delusional without you. Because no one else can tell stories so simple…………

    Regards,
    Concerned Student.

  49. Omera,

    You’ve left me in stitches- I’m still not sure that it ended as you put it. Did you really leave after 20mins? or was it 200mins later? Dude, please this story like it should.

  50. Then she wags it again, then I get it and laugh. You get it, too, don’t you? Wagging finger? You get it now? Alama ya jogoo? Anyone? hehehehe, karumaido, gai fafa, u r soo funny

    http://techballl.wordpress.com/

  51. great Writing, i love the way you knit your words and expressions together into an amazing story. This reminded of the many trips i made to sabina joy way back then, just to pee…ok, more than peeing….high school was rifw with raunchy stories of sabina joy. lakini uoga nayo?

  52. this is good, no really- never has the Kuyu female form been described more apropiately; and priss, just so we’re clear I’m kuyu so spare me the lynch mob.

  53. Hahahahahaha Boss you have come a long way since you used to write those article for us in the office every Friday Afternoon….. remember? Now if you want a real story like this talk to me I will take you to a place that afterwards you will run to church and pray hard!!! Again Nice one bro

  54. “cross Uhuru Highway at Hilton and past the statue of Tom Mboya that stands forlornly in the dark pointing towards statehouse ” this doesn’t sound right at all

  55. Don’t do anything that will get you stabbed… that just floored me hahahahahh. Brilliant mind you have there, hilarious!

  56. Okay, this post has covered it all, except for some minor corrections. First, the caged DJ that this article talks about is not caged anymore. Instead, this has changed to a more fancier location — no cage anymore.

    Again, there are no more old posters on the walls as the place has gotten a completely new makeover. See more information on http://goo.gl/WHfkna to get a feel of how things are changing so fast.

They all have one thing in common; they are here for you. At a price.’ haha hahaha. boss we (Nakuru Residents) should sue the now defunct Nakuru Municipal Council for their inhumane act of giving us poor quality water even though some of us were able to leave unscathed.
