Nyayo Gardens or park according to who showed you the town, is a resting zone at the centre of the finest town – Nakuru.
Grass and trees fool one in trusting the serenity for relaxation.
However; odds are plenty.
Hawkers.
Snacks and drinks are circulated by industrious vendors here.
By the time you get a place to rest, they buzz around you like bees tracing stolen honey.
"Boss nikupe fanta ama stoney?"
"Mahindi chemsha fresh siste"
And efforts to dismiss all are softened that you're lured to tamper with your budget!
Noisy pastors.
It's very unlikely to enjoy total silence. Loudest pastors rest by interfering the occupants comfort if any at all. They accelerate from one corner to the next splashing saliva that it gets easy to confuse a spectrum around them as an aura of holiness!
They have anti-rich sermons, why tithes are important and obviously, seed planting!
Street children slightly below ten years will hover around you like vultures. A humanitarian is moved by their dirty and torn attire. Sympathy and pity are all they strike such that by the moment they ask to taste your soda, you part with a fifty shillings note.
Not that one is so merciful. No, it’s the guilt of the bastard you fathered or that little Angel you dumped near a children's home!
Jobless nuisance. You're enjoying your hot soda after being disappointed by the seller. (It's supposed to be coldest but sh*t happened).
A fellow crawls near you with a familiar stare.
"How's your big brother, do you think the governor will be reelected?" And before you draft a dismissal, he reminds you how you met and shared classes yet hell knows nothing of the sort!
Opportunists. Nyayo rest is yet to be bigger before the opportunistic fellows, guides and outright know-it-all bumps into you.
"Do you know why the best place in the world is the USA?" This kind pretends or exaggerates the obvious with a target to sink your ignorance into their tricks.
Scare them off by mentioning that you work in the government and your in law is security personnel.
For the newcomers and soft spoken, opt for a hotel to kill your time. Nyayo has its own experts who are intellects in their own measures!
