If you’re new to the whole MA experience check out this page for a picture and profile on each of my mamacitas otherwise this won’t make any sense.
As we all know Francesca, despite her durability, is one moody mama. Well she finally got too moody for the Green City in the Sun and thus, earned a one way ticket to the proper Green city in the Sun, Ka²mega. This was a massive development as far as mentalacrobatics was concerned because, well, Francesca and I have an understanding. She takes me around, I look after her. Now that she was gone I had to look for a new alternative to my one’s and two’s but it still felt werid. Using any other mamacita would feel like ummm cheating.
I admit that didn’t stop me fooling around with Matilda. But Matilda on top of being a carjacker’s wet dream is also very delicate. And if you go where I go and do what I do you don’t need delicate. Unsurpisngly rolling with Matilda leaves me slightly nervous and uneasy. This situation was taken to its natural conclusion when I smashed her up outside Yaya, at noon, on a busy Monday, dressed in a full Agbada, without a belt, without my wallet, and my license.
All’s well that ends well however, I found myself a mamacita I can roll with. She is big, I like that, she is strong, I like that, she always on time (well most of the time) I like that, she is popular, I like that, she doesn’t wait around for nobody, I like that and best of all I have no problems with parking. Introducing Daphne:

Daphne is the best thing to hit Nairobi since the Lost Boyz concerts!

Ya i agree daphne is cute…but carjackers also share this sentiment, since apparently guys on this bus are misconcieved rich! there’s always a chance of getting away with money, & mobilephones!

I must say Daphne has brought some civilization to some off us who had to wait ages for a matt home….but for those of us who live in the bundoos of Karen where it doesn’t seem to get to… it ain’t fair….i think they should extend the distance of their journeys for those us who are less fortunate to afford to drive around….in the luxury of ‘Humvee’
