Reaction 1: Looks like we are competing well… I’m 26, graduated, no job, not dating an engineer, just a hustler too. I’ve done nothing for my mum except buying her a dress on her birthday. I’m not in France, just here in Turbo, Eldoret… you win.
Reaction 2: Akothee always putting people down. Not everyone is your enemy. Share your testimony without calling people’s parents’ names. We are happy that you made it, that you have beautiful and amazing kids. And you are rich, Akothee. But give people a break.
Reaction 3: Dating an engineer doesn’t guarantee you will have a bright future. You can date a shamba boy, and God will take you from there. Don’t ask others what they have done for their mothers. We wish to buy even ordinary milk for 30 shillings, but it’s hard. It’s not in our wish; we still hope God will remember us.
Reaction 4: Some of the people here, their mothers are already in the graves. So does it sound funny for you when you keep on asking, where are your mothers?
