It is that seasons when many people have traveled to their villages to reunite with their kinsmen. However, as celebrations go on in villages, Nairobians or those who stay in the urban will be an exceptional lot. Exception in the sense that all their actions and moves will be closely monitored by villagers. If you happen to carry bottled water they will accuse you of looking down on them yet you grew together drinking from the swamp.

Many argue that Nairobians disappear into the city only to emerge at end of the year without much justification for their long and silent stay in the city.
