Najivu ... oops ... Nakubaff Nikiwa Mkenya ...

beyond preposterous ...

How is this shit possible?
How is it logical?

How does one with a Kenyan Flag in the house have the temerity to tell Me:

"Wee, do not speak Kiswahili in the office!"
"You will get fired!"
"It is very unprofessional"
"That's why I respond in English everytime you speak Kiswahili to me!!"

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

Remember when we were kids and used to be told things like:

If you swallow a seed when eating an orange, a tree will start growing in tour tumbo ...

or

Ukimeza Bigi-G ati it will wrap up your intestines and keep you from crapping ...

or even worse:

Ati ukikumia ile minyoo ina manyoya you'll die!!


That is how much my intelligence was insulted, nay, assaulted @ the office leo, tena by a fellow Kenyan!!

Bear in mind:

The French people in the office speak French ...
The Spanish peeps speak Spanish ...
The Foundation's mission is centered in Africa (even have an office in all 3 East African Countries!!)

etc.

Does this person believe Kiswahili to be an inferior language?
An inferiority complex?
Undue "respect" / fear for Wazungus?
An acute case of boot-licking and tail-wagging?


I subscribe to none of that stuff. I wish someone would as much as hint @ the office that they have beef with me speaking Kiswahili!!

I would demonstrate to them that:

"Nametameta nikiwa Mkenya"



Viva Kiswahili - I'll never let you down!!
