Buriani Mzazi Mwenza

Mganga wangu, mzazi mwenza…

Umetuacha na machozi,

Umetuacha na majonzi…

Umemuacha binti akiuliza,

Maana ya maisha ni nini?

Hata kama tulishetengana,

Binti katufunga kama kamba…

Buriani Shahame,

Buriani mzazi mwenza…

Mo Faya indeed!

Sikudhania nitapata kushuhudia mambo kama yale niliyoyaona jana kule Go Down… sizungumuzii kuhusu onyesho lenyewe la Mo Faya lakini kuhusu wapangaji.

Tuliwasili pale baada ya kazi, mwendo wa saa moja hivi… tukawakuta watu wengi wamekusanyika pale nje… Kisa na maana… ubalozi wa Netherlands umelipia viti vyote kwa hivyo, wapangaji walionelea ya kuwa sie tusio wageni wa ubalozi, turudishiwe hela zetu au tukubali tikiti za siku nyingine… nakwambia… Mo Faya ikaanzia hapo!

Kama wewe ni mkaazi wa Nairobi, wafahamu hali ya barabara ilivyokuwa jana… msongomano wa magari kila ulengapo jicho… kwa mfano, nilitembea kutoka kazini hadi mjini katikati…nikatafuta teksi ya kunifikisha Go Downs… kawaida huwa dakika kumi hivi lakini jana ilichukua saa nzima hivi… kisha niambiwe eti sitapata kutazama Ma Faya?????

DUH!

Tulipiga kelele sana… waandalizi hawa husema ya kuwa wakenya hawajitokezi kuwapa motisha wenziwao sana sana katika haya maswala ya usanii….Mbona walituuzia tikiti basi kama ubalozi ulikuwa umeshalipia viti vyote? Tikiti si agano kati yangu na wao… tulikwamilia hapo hapo na kuwaambia waite polisi basi maana kilichotuleta hapo, kwa ahadi kati yetu (Tikiti) ni Mo Faya na sio kula chakula kilichandaliwa kule ndani, wala kutazama wazungu waliokuwa wamejaa kule… tukakataa katakata kukubali kurudishiwa hela za gharama zetu…

Tulifaulu. Tukaingia. Tukatazama Mo Faya. Tukafurahia. Tukaondoka.

UKOLONI MAMBOLEO POTELEA MBALI!!!!
