For most Nairobians, January sucks! What 10 things will we hate about January?

1. Traffic jam. Yes, the roads were relatively clear in December. We all know that school buses play a role in the Nairobi traffic jam. Imagine being broke in traffic and there is nothing yo can do about it.
2. Everybody wants a loan. If you have a reputation for being good with money, chances are that your friends will call you up with “Si unisaidie na 5k?”. Zima simu tuu!
3. Clubs are boring. Clubs are nice when they are not so packed but when you are a few of you there, it sucks. Imagine being in the dancefloor with the DJ and waiters
4. Raised rent. Some landlords have a terrible habit of raising rents in January. Washindwe!!
5. Christmas decorations. Most shops in Nairobi will still have their Christmas decorations on. This serves as a constant reminder of the terrible financial decisions you had made during the festive season
6. New years resolutions and annoying gym pics. We all know someone whose resolution is to gain weight and this January you will get to know it. You can’t run away from it. Who told WhatsApp that it was a great idea to have status updates?
7. Everybody will become a hustler. There is a weird culture that we have for demanding for cash for each and every little favour. From the watchman, to the government office to the children. Yes, the culture of “Si unipee ata mbao ya chai kwanza”
8. After merry making... there will be no important news and politics will take centre stage yet again. Look out for “Politician goes for official trip with girlfriend”. Damn you media
9. January weather. It’s the driest time of the year and dust is in abundance. As a result, you need a Vaseline budget for January. Haki hii kuparara ni mbaya!
10. Rich Nairobians hawataacha tupumue. Don’t go visiting a rich Nairobian because January is their time to flaunt. True story!
