Yesterday was an interesting day for me. I had a semi-blast at work meaning was almost happy, met up with my girlfriend I had not seen for ages...ooh speaking of which, she is looking good...okay moving on and I also made up my mind on a girlfriend proposal. So all was well.
There was a mingle something for our contestants of the Tusker Project Fame at the San Valencia restaurant in Nairobi Kenya and my girlfriend invited me as she works there as an evening plan. For those who don't know, Tusker Project fame is the Kenyan equivalent to American Idol or British X factor; it's a singing competition based in Kenya but for East Africans (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda and South Sudan). Please note that South Sudan is not officially part of the East African Community.
I got there when the contestants had done their part and were leaving and that's where the fun began. People desperate to get tickets for the live shows were tasked to sing and dance. Other than one young lady, most of them sucked! But they did make me laugh so hard, so for that kudus.
My potential boyfriend escorted me and my girl to our bus stop where I met the drunk or born again christian. He kept yelling "Pokea Yesu" i.e. "Accept Christ" randomly like he had lost his mind. He was dirty, unkempt and holing a wood plunk. He was staggering then stops and yells "Accept Jesus". My guy would hold me closer every time he was staggering our way and we actually had to move and stand away from him. I decided I had had enough of this drunk and got into a matatu. Like luck could have it, so did he, he got into the same matatu as I was.
Before it took off, he opened the window and yelled "Pokea Yesu". I was like "here we go". One elderly man took a stand and told him to shut his pie hole or he alights and he pays for the seat. The drunk responds, "Shetani huleta giza...pokea Yesu", " the devil brings darkness..accept Jesus".
At this point in time , the lady seated next to him asked him to tone it down lest he angers the rest of us. I was like "it's too late for that". He then starts singing Swahili gospel songs out of tune and loudly.
The driver of the matatu, stopped the car and asked the man to leave. He told him that he is the son of God and doesn't like darkness so eh aint alighting the matatu (matatu - public transportation in Kenya). In every bump we hit, anyone he saw, any car that overtook us, anything even houses, he'd open the window and yell "Accept Jesus". I thank God am a law abiding citizen because my thoughts were not lawful nor pure.
I alighted before him and never been more glad..ooh he even took the time to wish anyone who alights a safe night while yelling at us to accept Jesus. What was the timing of this religious outburst... between 9PM GMT +3 - 10.00PM GMT+3.
Hope I get a better day today.
