There is the boda boda jazz! Hahaha! Have you ever wondered how these guys seem to know everything? They will tell you who owns which home, who is behind that new apartment block under construction and who started which business and of course for whom.
They even know whose side chick is causing the late night trips, whose husband or wife isn’t exactly faithful and which family is quietly battling issues behind closed doors (in their voice don’t just see them happy they are not!). It’s like they are living in a real life soap opera always in the know.
Then just when you think the gossip is getting too hot. They will casually switch topics “Eh, that’s a big dog and I heard no one can touch them!” as if it’s all perfectly normal neighborhood talk.
And wait till you see them reach a traffic stop. They will smile at the policeman as they call him by name, even laugh together like old buddies. That is when you realise maybe my friend’s joke wasn’t really a joke perhaps these boda guys truly are the ultimate spies!
What I’m saying is, boda boda riders always have jazz or what some folks now call juice. Whether it’s about the economy, relationships or street politics. Hop on a boda and you are guaranteed an earful. Just remember: sometimes it’s wiser to keep quiet and simply listen. Haha!
TUHAME ❤️
