Monday Musings: Nairobi Matatu Culture

I am in a Citi Hoppa bus no 46 heading to New Life (story for another day) and I am angry.

The Matatu Culture in Nairobi has become unbearable for me.

Beggars guilt trippping you into “toa kitu kidogo Mungu atakuona” contributing to their whatever (I almost said something worse)
