Nairobi is this one beautiful city of dazzle and we all need to dress up to keep up. With the helter-skelter kinda lifestyles around us and the current dynamics of dating, a very extreme sport in this sinful city, we have normalized living a big lie - it's all about survival. Love is one lie that you should laugh off when it's pronounced by a Nairobian. In fact, when a Nairobian tells you they love you, slap them! We don't do that here. Love is for the birds and the heart is purely for pumping blood.
"Dating in Nairobi requires you to lick cement from time to time to strengthen your heart". I read this tweet and rolled on the floor! But where's the lie? Like, literally, you not only need steel muscles and big balls (pun intended), but a concrete heart to fully date and trust a Nairobian. Else you'll be enrolled directly to the Kenya School of Character Development and be baptized by fire. In the name of love.
