So this week, I happened upon a certain radio conversation. This angry fellow had called in threatening to butcher a certain boda boda rider who confused his wife. From the caller’s accent, it was clear he comes from a community not scared of butchering people. He ended his call with a strange question, “What does a Boda Boda jamaa have that I do not have?” This set me on a path of inquiry to find out if boda boda guys possess some magic when it comes to seducing women.
