Is it a coincidence that next to every stadium in Nairobi, there is a village of hungry-looking marabou storks? These ugly birds have a long history with Kenyan soccer. They have actually become part and parcel of popular jokes around our football matches.
Fans of Ingwe and K’Ogalo have a long love-hate relationship with these creatures. They do not realise that the football matches at both City and Nyayo stadiums actually intrude on the birds' natural habitat.
