Kenya No Wahalla!

Tofauti on the move again would love to share another experience from the eyes of thee Naija queen Ashley the Diva as they used to call her. Personally, I learnt a lot from her(other than her diva swagg and the antenna dance moves) as I always insist Africa is quite diverse.“God don butta my bread” by having her as one of our interns and now my true Oko. Here is what she had to say...

“My experience in Kenya was a beautiful and amazing one; from the very moment I got down from the plane, the hospitality I got was out of this world (I bet she must have been referring this to me kkk). Kenya being the heart of East Africa, I always thought it was overly developed; but then hey!! (ABEG!)It’s still in Africa, and on getting here and realizing that, I felt more at home(:/).

Kenya as we all know means the “Animal Horn”, and with this at the back of my mind I knew I was going to see so many animals. This I did and I’m so happy I got to experience that.

I had a whole list of things I wanted to get done on getting here like people do when they go to a new city, especially one known for its safaris. To me, I would say I met all my expectations and even more.

My project was quite a tough one as I was attached to render services in the Health Sector at the Nairobi Spinal Injury Hospital, as I’m not a medical practitioner. But on getting there I got a very warm embrace with doctors, nurses and even my fellow interns treating me like one of theirs that made working, adapting and even socializing very easy. The Project actually taught me how to be ‘patient’ while dealing with patients and people in general.

Honestly, I don’t like Kenyan food (com on Ash, wetin de problem) , but then when you are in Rome you best act Roman, hence I had to adapt and embrace the foods but I loved ugali, chapatti and of course the tiny beans which Mathew the food engineer was amazing.

All in all, I would say Kenya was really good to me. I met and made some really cool friends, the weather was amazing and I can’t recall having any bad experience. I could write more but I was told to do just one page.

ASANTE SANA KENYA, MIMI ITABIDI DHAHIRI KUWA NYUMA.
