It is a fine evening, and I am heading home after a beautiful work day. I am sitting on the front seat of a matatu. There are five screens, five y’all, like really it’s a Nissan. We are three people here, so that’s six eyes. Which means each eye has a screen to watch, and one eye will drive or at least focus on the road. You would think that the screens are enough, but our beloved driver is checking out something on his phone. My mind is blown, and I am thinking, Wow,what hasn’t Nairobi shown me? The future is wild, but the present is very interesting, especially since there was a time when we had one television set per five kilometers. I grew up in the village, so you know how upcountry that is. Now we have one per centimeter, literally. How we survive in this town is a pure miracle on its own.
