Nairobi city has been ranked the third best city to visit around the world. Due to its continued developments in infrastructure and business ventures, it has attracted millions and millions of people from all over the world. However, the city has its own “dos” and “don’ts”. Here are craziest things one can do when in the city:
Lend your phone to a stranger
Be aware of conmen around the city. A beautiful lady will approach you asking for assistance. She will borrow your phone only to be taking your number, so that together with her other con gang, they track you and con you whatever you will be having. Moreso, someone might borrow your phone and take off with it without you realizing.
Sleep off in a corridor
This is something you should never do when in the city. When you fall asleep in secluded places, chances are you will wake up naked, all your things gone. If at all you feel sleepy, make sure you have someone you trust, someone maybe you came with before sleeping.
Throw “waste” on the street
You don’t have to meet the city askaris, do you? Obviously, no one will ever wish to cross their line. By bad luck maybe you through that packet of biscuit on the street and the askaris see you, tell you will have a very rough day. The best thing is maybe take off to be safe.
Speak on the phone carelessly
When you are in the city, your phone is the first thing to be careful with. When you receive a call, make sure you watch people passing near you, there is chance a city chokora will be targeting your phone. By bad chance they get hold of it, then that’s gone forever.
Borrow money from people
Before you go borrowing money from people in the city, make sure you look like a chokora. Trust me, no one will give you their shilling when you look when groomed, even when you are in real trouble and in need of money. Nairobi city is “Rome” you better act like Romans.
