It was on 30th March 2018 that things started going downhill and they still do.
Mimi na educational certificates ni kama mzee moi na ruto,hatujawai patana. The only thing I have to show, as far as education is concerned, is a kcse certificate but that has never stopped me from scaling to the top. Kuna place niliandikwa as a marketing executive, earning a 15,000 salary. Nikaamua hapa ni kupambana kama ndume. When others were busy doing the usual email marketing and random calls, i was on the streets socialising with mechanics and guards who would show me the rich guys to approach. After 2years, I was the Marketing manager earning 180k. This didn’t last for too long though coz the owner who’s a Briton shut down the kenyan office after KRA came calling. While I was working nilimake sure atleast nimepeleka developments home. I extended my mom’s house to have an extra bedroom, kitchen and a toilet alafu sitting room nikaexpand kiasi plus tanks mbili nikaleta. Then built a good 5 stable cow shed, ngombe sasa was the next project.
After the Briton alifunga ofisi nikaingia kwa forex trading. Made some good profits for a few months but siku moja nikablunder kukosa kuweka stop loss na kulikuwa na kunguru ilikuwa inakuja. Vile nilikumbuka nilijipata na 50 dollars from 2,500. After kufanya job hunting viserious, nikapata job ngong road. Mshahara ilikuwa 25k. Nikaamua pia hapa nitangangana nijipandishe to the top.
Sonko pale alikuwa mdamme wa 38years wa nyeri, ushamba ndio ilikuwa imemjaa. Youtube to her was the devil’s tv. Hangetaka kuona flash disk karibu. She came one day with plastacine zikawekwa kwa usb ports. She even screamed at me one day for using a witty line in my powerpoint presentation but the client shouted back at her akamwambia being witty and funny helps while doing a presentation.
There was this guy who was reffered to as the tech guru just because he knew how to change the computer’s display na juu alikuwa anapenda kucheza solitaire. They even used to hire someone for 10k ati aconnect printer na comps. So mimi pale nikaleta mabadilisho, I synced everything incuding extension lines. Sasa pale nikaingiza adui. The working environment got tuff. Nikaanza kuingia kwa pombe sana. Ikafika point hadi kiatu inanuka.Saa hio kumbe majamaa walinipangia. They gave me some stuff za client niendee nazo ndio asubuhi wanipick up tuelekee thika. In the morning cops were at my place na employer ati kuna vitu niliiba. There was also an email that i had supposedly written to the hr resigning from my job. Nilipelekwa Kasarani police station but the case was later dropped.
After afew months, i moved to a single room ya mabati na huko mwiki. Sold all my electronics and furniture nikabaki na kamatress. Mlango ilikuwa inabishwa nikiwa kwa matress nastretch tu mkono kufungua. Things got worse when i couldn’t even afford mandazi. Friends dissapeared, girls started calling me ugly. I remember even surving on two bananas per day.10 bob ilikuwa gold.
Nilikuwa nabuy mandizi ama mandazi moja na mandizi. Used to chapa maroundi kwa vibanda, napata matunda zile za kutupa.
I always said that siwezi rudi home but i had no choice ikabidii shags nimerudi. At home, i had a PA system. Nikaanza kukomboesha kwa matanga na crusades. Siku moja mafala hawakufunika kukinyesha ati walidhani ni water proof. I was still doing some hustles za kuwa broker wa farm produce. Siku moja wazee flani walikuja home wakidai kazi yao niwache nayo since i had already snatched afew of the farmers wakuwe wananiuzia. Nikaona hapa nitaletea mathee noma ya kuchomewa nyumba.
Last week my uncle sent me 50k, my plan was to start a small cyber cafe juu watu huku ecitizen ni greek. 2 days after, the brokers came back, this time with the police, chief na mzee wa nyumba kumi. I was being accused of stealing 20 ngunias za waru. Ati they saw me with some other guys loading them into a lorry. Na juu ni mimi nilikuwa broker, it meant i organised everything. My mom was my only alibi and the police would have non of that. Ilibidii nitoe zile 50k hizo zingine mathee akachukua kwa group ya wamama.
Sasa hakuna kitu huwa inaniuma siku hizi kama kuskia mtu kwa tv akisema ati the reason why guys are not making it in life is because they are lazy…sometimes ni life haikutakii.
