Living in Nairobi has taught many of us lessons we were never taught in school, such as life in Nairobi is survival for the fittest.

Depending on where one started life, we have interacted with different types of people.

Below are the different of people you are likely to meet especially when living in plots and in areas such as Mathare, Kayole, Pipeline, Kawagware, Soweto, Mukuru Kwa Reuben, Githurai etc.

  1. Stealing pegs

Imagine at this time and age where pegs go for 2 shillings some people are busy stealing them from clothes hang out to dry.

My sister while busy stealing millions we unangangana na pegs, schuuupid.

2. Stealing clothes

We all must agree that at some point we have had our clothes stolen from the clothes line.

Personally I have, one even had the audacity to steal my new panties , still hurts me to date.

3. Snooping

If you live in plots, you probably know that your life is everybodys business. You can't even fart without them questioning you about it.

If you buy something new and pay for delivery, you will see them trying to move curtains to see what it is you bought.

4. Gossiping

Plots should actually be named headquarters za 'Kamati Ya Roho Chafu' members because this is where they thrive.

Most will gossip from morning to evening especially house helps after all they have no much work to do, they work better than our Kenyan Police.

5. Counting the number of men you bring to your house

If you are planning on practicing promiscuity, a plot is not the best place to do that as nosy neighbor keep tabs on your men.

Hata wanajua which one is married and which is not you wonder how that improves their lives.

6. Omba Omba

There are needy neighbors who are constantly borrowing something. Leo ni pan kesho jiko the next day rolling pin ya kupika chapo.

Come 2020 such neighbors should stop these terrible habits, kama maisha ya Nairobi imekushinda kaa na mama yako reserve.

7. Team vuvuzela

These are the kind of neighbor who constantly want to pick fights even when they is no reason to.

The funny bit is that such women are just bitter and cannot even kill a fly.
