Do you have any manual skills?

Imagine the country erupts into war and all of us have to be refugees in other countries. Everything has been destroyed (including @uwesmake’s X6) so all you have with you is your family and a few thousands in your pocket. You can only work in the jua kali sector and they won’t give you a job if you aren’t skilled.

Mi nimejiamini na metal work e.g. kutengeneza milango za chuma. Mzito @introvert tunajua anaeza assemble jet engine so ye ako sawa. @Female Perspective only needs to locate 680 hotel Kampala branch and find a local supply of P.Ks. @Meria Mata anaeza kuwa taniboi. What skills do u have?

I would carry my computer, shift to the nearest country and continue working online as I have always done. Business as usual.

I am a very good story teller . Naweza ingia streets nianze kupigia wasee story dj afro style but ikiwa mbaya mbaya nikuchukua mkokoteni na kusumbuana na kina @Mathaais kwa stalls .

Btw umeongea kama jokes but time ya election I was very afraid of this .

Hapa sawa kabisaa.
Skills ziko kibao sana most are self taught.
Kitunguu bado itanukia.

Guys out there don’t like work hard like Kenyans, I’d try farming or be a trader.
