(Thika Republic)
You don’t remember the last time you ate a pineapple but they seem to be all over the streets everyway you turn in the innumerable fruit carts, you wonder who actually buys enough fruits to keep these arrogant guys selling apples for 40 bob in business. Must be the Nairobians. You Know every club in town and you’ v probably visited all with the exception of zinc which everyone knows is for high school kids, not very unlike F2 in Nairobi, of coz u used to go there when it/you was new but you unlike Isaac Hassan, you can swear the opposite is true on a stack of bibles/Korans? Yep you guessed right, we are in Thika town; a small town where East Africa’s biggest superhighway ends, or begins, am not sure where the Chinese started. Maybe if we could figure out where the oldest Chinese-Kenyans(Chikens?) are; the Nairobi or Thika side we could tell where it starts.
Thika is like Nairobi without the traffic, except Chania bridge which can be a bitch, the confused hustlers waiting for the fare to shuka by ten bob and best of all the city council and all the other elements of Nairobi that make you want to throw yourself from the KICC, if you had the 150 they charge to climb to the top. Thika has more going for it both on the social cultural and financial front (same thing to kyuks coz money is our culture) than most of the villages that bear the title city in the country. Nevertheless it is so small that if you get in the habit of ogling the lasses walking around in micro minis, you will realize you check out one ass about thrice in a week. That is a man’s way of saying in Thika everyone knows everyone else. And you wonder why Kiambu county headquarters are in Thika, Coz Kiambu, my friends is a town waiting for Nairobi to expand and cover it with urban bliss, Thika is the town pushing Nairobi towards Ukambani.
