You know the way Kenyans love each other abroad? How everyone is willing to step in on your behalf if they are available? How Ubuntu is the mantra. I booked a ticket without considering my arrival time to the said destination. My Sis was like worry not niko na rafiki anaitwa Manu he'll pick you & ensure you get on the right train. I got to Copenhagen at 9pm and the Nandi Champ from Megun-Kapseret kotachaa, he was from school that evening. My train ticket was for almost mid-night, he got me a sim-card and airtime. And showed me how to use it, I wanted to pay him he said "mambo madogo haya" The few hrs tukingoja gari ya moshi, i got to know he is phd fellow and had landed just 2 months ago at that time. He was 30 at that time & was the only african in his class of economics. But their were some Nigerians in different departments. From the talks I realised this guy was really sharp upstairs, nikamuuliza when you arrived who received you? The railway lines etc "Kolenjo atyondo" he figured Everything on his own😭 and stayed in a hotel for almost a month since accommodation is crazy in cph. My time was almost up and the only way I thought i could appreciate Manu was offer to share whatever I had taken to my sister. Nikamshow niko na Familla Porridge flour akasema he drunk enough in "tumdo of the forest" hataki. I used to think you guys were exaggerating tl about uji. The only things he agreed were Omena & royco cubes. So we said our goodbyes and I went my way to South of Denmark. Since then we've been in communication once in a while and I promised the next time I am there I would bring him Omena & unga ya ugali. A few days ago he had a cardiac arrest and passed on in his sleep, i am so gutted, annoyed and very sad. Mutyo nebo iman Bot Manu, the Dad and siblings. Ngogaikayak Kiptaiyat.
