Been talking to a friend this afternoon, and the zig zag chat got me remembering something I said in 2017 that was in college….”when I get voting in 2022, I’ll be having a mini me crawling around”
I just realized how impossible it is to actualize this, also kids mehn! (Ni babake hakuna)
Me in my 25th not bothered whatsoever, I am here manifesting a staycation, I just want to be the babygirl I am.
Or I just take myself to Kabondo, visit Oyugis quite often and admire the “Asante ya punda ni mateke” type of developments my governor prides in.
Kabondo is a good place, a place where sleeping in an empty stomach is close to impossible; we got “rabuon”- sweet potatoes in all corners of the homestead, guavas (this thing has no season in my village, it is always there) na ndizi from our Gusii neighbors.
Did I tell you guys I love south nyanza? I do, I am attached to it and sometimes I want to stay there forever lakini…臘♀️”tielo okia penjo yo” (the leg does not know how to ask for direction) *a luo proverb**she’d hum it in my ears to give me sense.
Network here is unpredictable, today it’s full, tomorrow you have a phone with zero network bars; the Instagram and Twitter headache ends when I board ahero mowuok( shuttle sacco) at Kisumu.
The sound of River Sondu-Miriu is the serene sound you’d die for, cows mow from a distance, and their calves jumping all over, and the sheep? Dumb creatures those ones, moving around in groups shaking their tails.
✓Kinyozi music, they are always playing Lucky Dube, I never understood the reason why, and those poshomills …ugali must always be served.
Kabondo is a rich land, home of talents and away, elites, city lawyers (they ain’t like those from siaya though)
✓betrothing a nyar south is a spot on! They know their craft, and very confident.
I am going back to the village, to answer questions like “to tinde in kanye?” “Nisetieko school?” “To be iseyudo ng’ato omako Badi?” “Nyiew sot krismas”… endless
Loosely translated to ” where are you nowadays,did you finish school, have you found someone to hold your hands and buy us some Christmas soda”…
…it is always happiness and pure vibes with my home buddies, they believe if you work in town, you got moneyBut I hate answering such questions, I hate having random chats about myself, so I go home and stay in my father’s homestead and watch that solar 24″ TV with free to air channels until the day to go back to ‘town’..
Welcome to Kabondo you all, I have a good role model for a father, come say hi to him, he might gift you me, I am a whole package, and a man would be happy to have me next to them…come home for Papa’s blessings.
Happy holidays
