"Love his shoes the most."

@martomuge:

"Hii Nairobi lazima ukue unique ndio usurvive poor leadership."

@Mandela_O1

"Today while in town, I saw pedestrians literally jumping from the sidewalk to middle of the road in order to cross. Those saying Nairobi is not exception from Dubai, should remember that Nairobi's floods are due to clogged drainage not due to lots of rain."

@James46660440:

"The Kenyan people are a remarkable group of individuals. However the government's lack of concern for its citizens is a significant impediment to the country's progress. Despite this challenge, Kenya remains a beautiful and exceptional country."

@ogutuoscarjr:

"For God so loved the world that he could not give his only beloved shoes but whoever believes in shoes shall not perish."

@aymnyaoroo:

"Jamaa hataki kesi ya Airforce accidents tena. Keeping it clean."

@Sir_Onserio:

"Drip lazima ipewe heshima zake."
