As reported by one “Ole Weru”
Sometimes when you see people with certain behaviours, don’t blame them. Maybe it is inherited and runs in the family. Take an example of my friend Yong. He is not a mushaina as the name suggests, but we gave the name to him because he had a mushaina persons, one of those who had come to construct Thika road. Yong brags that in his family lineage right from his grandfather, they have a certain type of kababa that is shaped in a particular way, and once he sees your canaan, you will keep going back for more. So even when the mushaina tasted, she kept coming back and had even said she will take him to Shaina with her.
Whenever you see some parts of Thika road that are not properly constructed, just know it might be Yong who called the mushaina and she left the job halfway done. Despite that, Yong is a quiet guy, and talks less-he lets his kababa speak for him. He has however seen so many canaans, from Mombatha to Kisumu and from Mandera to Jororoko.
But he says it is not him to be blamed. It runs in the family. His grandfather had 4 wives, despite being a scratcher of skins (very poor). He is also said to have had many other women out there, and therefore very many children. Infact, Yong says he cannot throw lines to any persons from his village coz there is a chance they are related.
The reason why his grandpa was a poor man is because during the colonialists’ time, he had been employed by a muthungu to catch moles in the farms. One thing led to another and he started climbing the muthungu’s wife. The wife liked it so much, and even promoted him to be the CMO-Chief Mole Officer, in charge of capture and execution of moles in the farm. When other men his age were fighting for independence and grabbing themselves land, Yong’s grandpa was catching moles and seeing white canaan. The muthungus then went back to mayuu and left him drying.
I still however wonder how they borrowed each other with the muthungu, coz the ninja couldn’t speak any English. Hao ndio unaskia walicome up na majina kama fokoff, brarry fakin, brarry fagga etc from their interaction with muthungus. That was the grandfather.
Then come to Yong’s uncles. One of his uncle was a well known climber, but made the mistake of marrying a woman from Kafete. As I have told you before, women of Kafete don’t accept to share their men. If you try to bring another persons into the picture, she assesses the situation. If you are rich, she sends you back to your creator asap, and is left repenting on your behalf so that atleast you can see heaven.
Some smash a glass mpaka inakaa unga unga ivi…then kila jioni anakuekea kijiko moja kwa chakula. Wewe ukikula unasema ‘ai na hii mchele iko na tumawe tudogo tudogo ivi’,yeye anakuambia maybe ni iyo type ya mchele yenye hutoka nahuku Pakistan. By the time unamaliza one week of that dosage, you sleep and find yourself standing infront of St Peter akikuuliza ‘how was your journey son?’. But if you are poor, she just makes a visit nahuku Kitui, akisema ameenda seminar ya kanisa. By the time she is returning, you are singing her name like the national anthem, and following her everywhere even to chamas-unakaa hapo kwa gate amalize. Ukiona other persons unakimbia kama mshale. But due to the type of climber Yong’s uncle was, he was still made to meet the creator despite being poor.
We cant talk much about his dad, but Yong is the 13th born, nayeye ndio ako katikati. He has 5 wives. His smaller brother, already has faced the elders and the chief two times for putting persons in the family way. He could not raise the fine imposed, and so promised to marry them both when he comes of age. That is like
shooting both of your legs before you even get to the battle field.
As for Yong, he says despite wanting to remain calm, repeat customers keep coming back. So next time you hear a persons saying “I don’t mind my guy cheating, bora he loves me”…just understand its men like Yong who make them say so because of their legendary service. She wants to go but she doesnt want to. Yong says he doesn’t just score goals…he likes scoring spectacular goals. Sio kama zile za Giroud anatap in mpira kidogo kwa net alafu anaenda akiruka vile amefunga bao……ni ufunge bicycle kicks kama za Ibra.
