Archer said...: @Kagz: however much you try to ignore the sentiments, you begin to realize that the Kenyan society is still very conservative and judgemental. Somehow you just find yourself bowing down to the pressure and conforming to avoid problems.; 9:19 AM, July 16, 2006

I feel your pain.I always wanted to get some when I was in nai but due to the mungiki connection I never did.
It takes someone who is determined and hard headed to keep them in spite the pressure to conform.
@ nick
Them and contacts too!
@ nakeel
Come on down!
@ kagz
I think I work less at anonymity than most bloggers.I constantly post pics of my home town,digs,pals etc.
It's a good thing that your bro had the strength of character to suceed despite what people thought.
@ kenyananalyst
I guess time changes people but I am still as acerbic as ever!
@ mama mia
