There are people who have lived in Nairobi almost all their adult life. They came to search for the Kenyan dream that resides permanently in Nairobi. These are the people who despite the inconveniences of Nairobi such as traffic jam and the rains that bring everything to a standstill cannot go anywhere.

You can tell them. They know the entire city like the back of their hands. They know the origin of certain estate names such as Kawangware, Kariokor or Dagoretti. They have seen the city grow and expand in leaps and bounds. They remember the red telephone boots.
