Hi. I am currently producing a curriculum here in China dealing with University students and the theme I am working on is culture. I would like to use the story written by Mwangi concerning the bus incident. Acknowledgement will be given in the book. Please get back with me. I would appreciate this.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

[...] Me and my buddy left the store and immediately jumped into one of the severely overcrowded buses which was the inspiration behind tales such as this one. [...]

@liberiangirl: Glad I could make you chuckle…and the best part is it’s a true story. You know being crazy isn’t always a bad thing:

@kelly: A lot of people here in Australia do the same thing with trains and trams, just ride on them like they’re free (even when they discover they are not). Don’t worry the posts will be here waiting for you to read when you get to the other side. And be prepared for some other remarkable speeds, especially when you visit cyber cafes in project Cay.

This is such a hilarious post!! I can imagine how mortified the dude was to realise that the bus is going empty. Fortunately these days Nairobi traffic is a bit sane, but it’s still something.
I once read on Mashada about this guy who rode the subway for a month without paying, the guy never realised that it’s up to you to pay before boarding. Luckily he was never caught, he always wondered, kwani US trains are free!
You’ve got so many posts I’d want to read, but since my internet is being rationed (no longer in the office), I will catch up when I get to the other side. Cheers!

@sci-culturist: Thanks for that! This week of guest posts just gets better and better and better! sci, cheers for the kind words. I have so many plans for this blog going forward, stay tuned, we’re about to go 22nd century up in here. I have checked my mail and I have received no email from you. Did you send it to masmilele@thedisplacedafrican.com because that’s the blogs email address or use the Email the Author links at the bottom of posts?

@sci: As always, thx 4 da kind words. Rather than an extra 24 hours I wish the 12 hours that are between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. could be extended…nothing quite does it for me like the night time.
The story is so hilarious, sometimes I wish it was me it happened to. Then I would have had the flexibility to embellish it a bit. Don’t be shy to just stop by and say hi.
Btw, since this is the week where I am asking for guest posts, if you ever have a spare moment and something to say, don’t hesitate to guest post.
Have a great week
