Although, to be fair to other third world cities, we *are* scrapping the bottom of the third world barrel
Aka, perhaps this shit only happens in *this* city

# at the airport, immigration officials outdo each other to be as rude to you as can be
# dogs roaming the streets like they own this shit
#mosquitos!
#finally! Good coverage of international news on t.v
(*on that note, fkc south Carolina and those in-bred kkk’s (including those imported from n.carolina). its time to bring back the BPP.)
# you add cellphone ‘credit/minutes’ to your mobile phone in order to buy internet ‘daily bundles’
- This shit is slower than dial-up
- You bought a weekly bundle once, which was used up in a day, and never again
- ‘it swallowed my credit’ becomes a sentence that makes sense
# your main phone network line works sporadically, hence you have more than one phone number
*downloads fbmessenger, whatsapp, viber just to make sure you have options*
# children less than three years old running around barefoot, half-naked playing unsupervised (it’s a beautiful thing, these kids are fearless)
# child labour (depressing)
# the lack of concern about child labour (frustrating)
# kids walking to and from school in their brand new uniforms (uniforms are ugly, watching the kids enthusiasm brings a smile to my face)
#women breastfeeding whenever and wherever (this should be life)
#all adult women are seemingly always in three stages of reproduction; either pregnant, or breastfeeding, or getting ready to be pregnant.
#the fact that households leave covered pots of water with cups outside their gates for passersby to have a cup of water on their onward journey (little mercies)
# soldiers walking around with aka47s slung around their shoulders is a ubiquitous sight
- The fact that they are not as many as a few years ago is a sign of progress
- You can tell the ones who have been kitted out with new guns since your last visit
- You are impressed that the curfew is not being enforced and the checkpoints are fewer
# you can be arrested arbitrarily, including for ‘talking back/ badly’ #truestory
#your friends advice you to have on speed dial, the numbers of a powerful person/someone with connections, a lawyer and a doctor, just in case, for next time, if you ever do get arrested. *pause*
# you’ve ridden around in a truck full of soldiers, all the while thinking wtf is this life
# half the country is at war but we party and bullshit in the capital city
# an argument about politics is always about two minutes ahead in any conversation
#everybody’s got answers but nobody is asking the right questions
#”we liberated this country” is considered a valid way of ending said political discussions, especially when it’s contrary to the status quo/ way of thinking
# we all know national security is listening. We also know they drive the cars without number plates
#knowing the dollar exchange rate at the black market, but not the official rate
#this exchange rate tripled in the six months since you’ve been here, yet we continue to soldier on
# majority live in poverty but huge SUVs are the main mode of transport for a chosen few
#the moment you realize you and your grandkids will be paying off the debts that were taken to buy said SUVs and accommodate people in expensive hotels
#motorcycles/boda bodas are the main means of public transportation for the rest of us
#nobody you know takes public transportation and wtf is wrong with you? Hire a car
# drinking spiced tea under a tree while the tea lady and her clients regale you with funny stories
#tea options include hibiscus or fenugreek tea
#becoming one of those people who spend hours drinking numerous cups of tea under a tree while talking about ‘building the nation’
#you can spend hours ‘people-watching’
#ethiopian coffee, now *this* is life
#the local coffee, spiced with a lot of ginger- now *this* is heavenly
#food from the local restaurant tastes way better than anything you make when you are home
#not knowing how to speak the main language or mother-tongue is shameful and a pity. in fact, since most people speak at least four languages, nobody gets it.
# complaining about any and everything about this country even though you realize you will never stop coming back, regardless.

i myself would never want to be god,or even like god.Because god got all these human beings on this planet and i most certainly would not want to be responsible for them, or even have the disgrace that i made them.
