Mombasa is one of the best cities in Kenya. Its several beaches, hotels and different cultures attract both local and international tourists. Known for its funny majini stories, Mombasa-mji wa raha as many refer to it, hosts close to 1.5 million people all led by governor Joho.

Well, Lee Elly, a resident of Mombasa, has come up with a list of characteristics of people who live in different estates in the coastal city. I thought I should share these interesting features with you. Go through and leave a comment.

1. MTWAPA

All alcoholics live here, in fact, there are more bars in Mtwapa than shops. All prostitutes strippers and single mothers live here. Very safe and best place to invest, 24hr economy.

2. KIEMBENI & MTOPANGA 

All those utahama lini children live here, as for girls, they have 3 or 4 children and they still live with their parents. In short, men from these estates are mama's boys.

3. MAGONGO & BOMU

Role models here are thugs and conductors, infact, here the more you get arrested the bigger your celebrity status. The more cat shoes and silver chains you wear, the more you gain popularity. Hapa disco and night vigil for matanga za wezi ni daily.
