Um…they said like father like son…but I think there’s a big difference between Jomo Kenyatta and Kenyatta the son. Yeah, am talkin about the difference between JKUAT and KU. Most notable, one is in Nairobi and the other is not..oops!!! Anyway, our first round is KU staged against JKUAT…You be the judge (I meant judge, not patriot)

JKUAT

Nick Name : JUJA BOYZ or jus’ JKUAT(pronounced as JAY’KAY’YOU’HURT)

Location : Juja (near Thika but so faaar away from Nairobi)

Brag point : The new swimo

FB page : Diary of a JKUAT student

I will try as much as possible to be gender sensitive here where I’ll use boys to refer to males and the handful females- no offence !!!Um…located in Juja centre (barely a town), JKUAT boasts of chops and smart dudes with scary Engineering courses notably; Financial Engineering (hehe, is this the course taken by those guys who manufacture chumz at DeLarue? Just askin’). Folks here have the best accomodation in Kenya and maybe even East Africa, lotsa cool apartments (not hostels) surround the skool via its so so many gates. Some 1 bedroomed cribs even go for as low as 5 Geez per month. Hehe, but the school hostels are just so ol’ skool with Hall 6 being the better one of the shacks. Talk of Hall 6, a male hostel full of KU chics, don’t ask me why (This is Juja Boyz man!!!). The illest hang out joint around is Club Straight where all the boys go out for drinks and footer. The other pack of HELB beneficiaries prefer Senate which is a Hotel-Pub combo. Hehe,as for the rest, they prefer “Kwa Maggie”..word is out that she has the best keg in Juja!!! Others prefer the Student Centre which is more of an outdoor raev joint and easy access to the hostels. I think these guys have the best hpuse parties in Kenya,hands down!!! Mad music,imported chics, rooftops and cribs…The campo is divided (as usual) into various zones: Gate A, Gate B n Gate C guyz. Gate A is more populated and you know well how populous areas are. Gate C is for more average students i.e hapa chapo ni ashu (Sheng’ word for 10bob…a Whiteman would think I’ve misspelt ‘her shoe’ n yet it’s Juja Boyz we talkin about). Gate C nae ni ya masonko i.e the mean price of chapo is Sh 18.72 rounded off to ksh 20 with the size per chapati being equal to x and being the size of a Gate B chapo.

Nickname : KU

Location : KU, just KU (half way between Thika and Nairobi but mathematically near Nrb)

Brag point : Post Modern Library (escalators and lounge)

FB page : Its Only In KU

I will try as much as possible to be relationship and alcohol sensitive. Here,unlike JKUAT, most guys have more than one chic coz they are really there in numbers. Those that fail to impress are gladly exported to Juja, fact. The alcohol part starts with their student Annex(studiez) which allegedly restocks thrice in one night. Plus the place is located closer to the hostels for easier transit of ‘happened’ guyz to their hostels. Away from that, the campo lacks momos. Weight is lost through walking, the campo is just too big, from the gate to a hostel is a 30 mins walk and a 5 minute run for a pressed jamaa,8 minutes for a thief, 10 minutes for Kipruto and 20 for the rest. The best hostels are the newer Nyayo 5 and 6 which are individually gated and with ovens in their kitchenettes and marble floors. Accomodation outta school is far much expensive than Juja with bedsitters costive around 7k upwards. But KU is the biggest client of Ampexx Limited i.e. woofer zote KU zinafanana !!! The campo has limited and ever slow and clogged wi-fi (but tunangojea ya serikali soon). Word is out that KU has equally long queues like those of Tharaka Nithi coz the campo has intakes like every semester. The best hang out joints are Club Makuti in Kahawa Shuge or others prefer to invade the JKUAT infested Thika Clubs. Their house parties are just average with routine interruptions from caretakers and housekeepers. Swagwise, ati their current trend is dudes hittin the famous Burundi gym (20baab per day plus lotsa uji and cassava), as for the chics weekend travels to their ‘uncles’ is a must.

Verdict: You be the judge

She sat there so dilapidated, time had flown so fast. A year, to her, was like half a minute. So minute a time. The other voices echoed in her cerebrum. Nyalego and Muthoni; her mum’s and her mother-in-law’s harsh voices battled. Both were becoming so impatient. And they talk a lot, quite a typical trait of the women who ‘graduated’ in the 70s. ‘Graduate’ used in the Afro context, getting married. The word would eventually spread like the bushfire caused by a careless hunter. They, she and her man, both knew that the truth would soon be exposed to the already curious world. Talk of hiding a secret from a group of cats. The man, Murima, was lucky and more or less at ease. He’s African. He only feigned his grief at least to lend a supporting hand to Akinyi, her love. Murima knew pretty well that if the pressure exceeded his limits, he will have to opt for a second option. Wife number two. This time round, he wouldn’t repeat his mistakes not unless he’s out to exhibit his gross stupidity to the world. I told you the world is watching.

She sat there so dilapidated, time had flown so fast- backwards this time. Akinyi remembered her heydays in campus. She had become tops in her deep rural school in Nyanza. She vividly remembers her journey, accompanied by Nyalego, aboard Mbukinya bus headed to Nairobi to join her university of choice. “Nyathina, som matek ikonywa dala…na uchunge maisa…hii ni Narobi” These were her mum’s last words to her before she went to Gikomba to buy some goodies for her village friends en route Machakos Airport. Now back to Akinyi. She secured a hostel in school with a one Vivian aka Vivv aka the Nairobi chic. This created a two sided cloud. It was either Akinyi to turn Vivv into a humble rural chic or Vivv to turn Akinyi into a town girl. This is where the naïve ones fall prey. Definitely it’s Akinyi who fell prey of Vivv. She remembered her first party which was hosted by a prominent ‘dirty’ politician in some posh den in Hurlingham. Akinyi had joined Twitter by then and her tweets explained the feeling well iced up by her Jaluo nature. She met the who is who in the business world. Her doors were open and she created more space in her phonebook. The revelers there had noticed her naivety and she became a target. Here, she found sweeter Vodka than the Blue Moons she was used to with her broke campus dudes. No offence but to me, broke is relative. Anyway, the party got underway and so did the number of bottles she galloped. The problem with sweet liquor is that you don’t know when you are high enough. High enough? Hehe, if only ‘highness’ was measurable! The Tom the swinger approached her and blabbered some indistinct words into her intoxicated ears. Moments later, they excused themselves. Her naivety and intoxicated nature gave Tom an easy time in ‘chipoing’ her. Chipo is the new slang word for rape, that’s according to me (oh, and you too i.e. if we share the same sentiments)

She woke up the next morning in bed with Kibet. “Hey, who’s Kibet? Gai, huyu ametoka wapi? Where’s that Tom of a guy??” Kibet , on realizing the look on Akinyi’s face, quickly put on his clothes and rushed out. Moments later, Vivv came in as confused as Akinyi but Vivv was more used to such aftermaths. They both left and, as usual, passed via the chemist for some P2s. Even the chemist attendant knew Vivv very well. She would be heard, occasionally, asking Vivv “Nikupee zile zako ama leo utajaribu hizi mpya??” Yeah, that was Vivv and Akinyi was already in the overtaking lane; she was tired of following Vivv. The habit continues all through her campus life. Yes, she graduated with flying colors. She knew virtually all the bad lecturers plus her rich friends in the government influenced her STD (Sexually Transmitted Degree).

Years later, she met Murima. By now, she was regretting about her past life. It had hit her so hard. She really wanted to change. To settle down and correct her past mistakes. Murima was stealing suggestive glances and smiling at her amourously. But Akinyi was still sad. Very. Everybody else around them was sad. Saddened by the death of their friend. They even cried more as Vivv’s casket was lowered 6ft under. Murima had lost his workmate and Akinyi her old time friend. For a moment, Akinyi regretted ever meeting Vivv. Meeting her was more like inviting the virus into her life. Death. Vivv had died at an early age. May she rest in peace. Akinyi knew hers was knocking. Akinyi was a strong lady. She decided to accept and move on. Move on and get married. And Murima looked nice a husband to her. Time flew fast and they got married.

She sat there so dilapidated, time had flown so fast. She looked at the bloody knife on the floor. Blood oozed from her stomach. Things were now on slow motion mode- and irreversible too. The doctor had earlier confirmed her fears. She was HIV positive and the numerous emergency pills had made her barren. To her, she really had no reason to live. Who would? The pain was now unbearable, she decided to end it by farther jabbing herself in her chest. Her precision couldn’t have made her miss her heart. BLACK OUT.

“AKINYI THE AIDS AMBASSADOR COMMITS SUICIDE” read the dailies. I told you the world was watching!!!
