Life on the Streets

His peers convinced him to accompany them to Nairobi in search of greener pastures without the knowledge of his parents. Filled with desperation and frustration due to lack of school fees, forced him to agree on the proposal, only to realize that life in the city was harder than he expected.
While in Nairobi he was situated in Nairobi’s Saika estate, during which he worked as a vegetable errand boy to and from the Gikomba market to survive. He experienced hunger and mistreatment by indifferent members of the public. With time, however, the people he was hanging out with introduced him to drug abuse. He ended up being tossed from one abandoned house to another. Life offered very little to laugh about but somehow he chose to embrace comedy as a vehicle to numb the misery of harsh street-life, encouraged by members of little-known Barikiwa set book group who often staged show in various colleges
‘Initially, I was just hustling while being hosted by someone but as things got worse I ended up in abandoned buildings and I hit rock bottom. That’s when I started sniffing glue as a pick-me-up. Glue can make you feel full for five days, even if you have not eaten anything. Sniffing glue makes you feel like you are on the same level as everyone else, but it’s a bad addiction’. Narrated MCA Tricky.
