My father (RIP) used to say if you can make it in Nairobi, you can make it anywhere. I want to add if you can stay sane and true to yourself in Nairobi, you are a rare breed. The one with the latest car, best house, the most money, biggest behind, most expensive drink, never mind that you cannot even pronounce it. We are constantly on high alert, looking out for the next best thing, next best bar, trying to impress people we do not know, worse still who do not care. Only at the end of the show, instead of a standing ovation, tears, debt, depression and unfortunately, in some cases, death by suicide.
