Mama Boi is back from escorting Boi and Sydo from School. She finds Keni in the living room watching Akili Kids! TV on the television.

“Mum, mum!” she called the mother looking excited. “Nataka kuandika barua.”

“Barua? Unaandikia nani barua kamum?” Asked the mother.

“Akili Kids! TV wametuambia tunaweza andikia barua to yule character tunapenda kwa Akili Kids! TV alafu watasoma barua yetu kwa TV.” Keni replied cheerfully!

“Eeeeeh!” exclaimed the mother.

“Si utanisaidia?” She asked her mother.

“Ntakusaidia kamum.” She said. “Na unajua kuandika kweli ama unataka mimi nikuandikie?” Said Mama Boi teasing Keni.

She looked at her with a smiley face and the mother chuckled back.

“Sawa, enda basi ulete kitabu na kalamu. Alafu tuandike barua yako.”

She rushes to get a book and pen from a shelf and places it on the table.

Favourite character wako kwa Akili Kids! TV ni nani?

“Esme na Word Girl na Princess Pea” She says excitedly (Add links)

“She laughs… kwani hii barua itaenda kwa hao wote ama ni kwa mtu mmoja?” Asked the mother.

“Sawa basi tuandikie to Princess Pea” replied Keni.

“Sawa tumwambie aje?” Asked Mama Boi.

“Tumwambieee… Princess Pea, nampenda, alafu tena napenda dress yake na nitakuwa na dress kama yake Christmas ikifika. Si utaninunulia mum?” She asked. “Alafu mwambie, when I grow up nataka nikuwe princess ako na crown na wand kama yake.” Explained Keni. “Na pia nitakuwa na spelling powers kama yeye.”

“Hiyo ndio unataka kumwambia?” Asked Mama Boi.

“Alafu tena asalimie team yake ya super readers na kila mtu kutoka Akili Kids!” She concluded.

“Okay! Sawa.” said Mama Boi.

It is Wednesday morning. Mama Boi is preparing Boi and his siblings Sydo and Keni to go to school. 

She helps them pack their lunch in their lunchboxes and put it in their bags.

“Haya! twendeni, twendeni Boi. Sitaki mchelewe kufika shule leo. Basi iko karibu kufika kwa gate!” Mama Boi called out.

“Chiiilaaax….tunaharakisha mum!” Boi giggles as he carries his school bag rushing out of the door.

They wait a few minutes out of their gate and their school bus arrives. They get in and off they go to school.

“Good morning class.” Greeted Mrs. Naisula, the class teacher in Boi’s class.

One thing you will notice about teacher Naisula is her long, black, silky hair and her colorful Mitumba pants! Her style is just….Whoa!

“Today we have a new student joining us in class.” Mrs Naisula said enthusiastically. “His name is Alex.”

“Let us all welcome him and be friendly with him.” She encouraged as the children clap.

Classes go on and the children go out for their short break time.

“Mambo Alex.” Greeted Boi.

“Poa sana.” Replied Alex.

“Najua leo ndio siku yako ya kwanza Roho Safi Primary School, na bado hauna marafiki. Sindio?” Asked Boi.

“Bado, sina marafiki. Wale watoto wengine walikuwa wananicheka juu nimevaa uniform ya shule yangu ya kitambo.” Alex nervously replied. “Lakini baba yangu ameenda kuninunulia uniform mpya leo na kesho ntakuwa na uniforms kama nyinyi!” Said Alex.

“Wachana na hao wasee! Wanabore! Sisi twende tucheze futa!” Boi gleefully replied with his arms streched out towards Alex.

They go forward and play together. The bell rings and they go back to class for a Maths class.

“Lunch tiiiiiime!” Shouted the children as they run out of class to go have their lunch.

“Alex, kwani huendi kukula lunch?” Boi was concerned.

“Sikupatiwa lunch leo, maybe kesho ntakumbusha mama yangu aniwekee lunch.” Alex Sobbed.

“Usijali. Lunch yangu ni mingi unaweza kushare na mimi leo.” Affirmed Boi.

“Leo nakula mchele na maharagwe. Wewe hupenda R n B?”

“Alex, kwani unaenda wapi na Boi?” Mrs Naisula interrupted.

“Boi amesema naweza kukula lunch na yeye leo.” Replied Alex.

“Ukweli teacher!” Boi Babbled.

Boi and Alex head out to have lunch together and get back to class after lunchtime.

“Sssssshhhh! Special announcement. Kesho tutakuwa na holiday. Kwa hivyo hatutakuja shule.” Said Mrs Naisula.

“Yaaaaaay” shouted the children happily.

“Holiday ya kesho itakuwa Mashujaa Day. Nani anajua tunacelebreate nini on Mashujaa Day?” Asked the teacher.

“Teacher, teacher, teacher! Shouted the children in unison while raising their hands.

“Yes, Alex, please tell us.” Said the teacher.

“Tunacelebrate wale watu walisaidia Kenya kupata independence.” Replied Alex.

“Correct!” Mrs Naisula nodded. “We will be celebrating our heroes. Our heroes can be anyone who has helped you in time of your need.”

“Kama Boi!” Shouted Alex. “Leo sikuwa na lunch na yeye alishare na mimi lunch yake na pia nilicheza na yeye futa time ya breaktime.”

“That is good Boi and keep it up!” Mrs. Naisula applauded.

“So as you go home today, remember to celebrate your parents, your househelp and anyone who has helped you in life tomorrow.” said the teacher.

Parents, remember to celebrate your children when they do good! It boosts their self-esteem! 

HAPPY MASHUJAA DAY TO YOU ALL!

Baba Boi and Mama Boi are rushing to prepare their children so they can begin their journey. Mama Boi is helping Keni wear a sweater while  Boi and Sydo are combing their hair. “Harakisheni Boi na Sydo, sitaki tuchelewe kupata basi. Tukikosa itakuwa shida sana na vile hakuna mabasi mingi saizi” They finish combing their hair and put on their shoes as they hurriedly move out of the house. They hear a honk outside. It is the Taxi driver alerting them he is ready. They need to hurry. “Haya twendeni”  Baba Boi tells them all. “Mama Boi nisaidie kubeba hii bag ndogo”. He says as they all head out. They proceed to put their luggage in the boot of the taxi. “Pole kwa kuchelewa Jonny (Their local Taxi driver), ni hali ya safari…” says Baba Boi apologetically. “Usijali, naelewa, uzuri ni tuko ready sasa.” replies Johnny. “Fungeni mshipi Boi na Sydo.” Baba Boi tells them as they are seated at the back of the Taxi. They tuck their seatbelts and they get going. The Taxi leaves.  15 minutes later they  get to Bus Station. “Asante sana Jonny” Says Baba Boi as he hands him a note for the fare. “Twendeni pale, ndio hiyo basi yetu.” Points Baba Boi. “Harakisheni, basi iko karibu kutoka.” Signals the Bus Conductor to Baba Boi and Family. They rush in and get to their seats. “Finally tumefika.” Says Mama Boi. They begin their journey to Kakamega(Shagz)  “Mum! Mum! unaweza kutupea simu yako kidogo?” Sydo asks. “Kwa nini kababa, mnataka kufanya nini?” Exclaims the mother. “Tunataka tuwatch Akili Kids! na Sydo” Chimed in Boi. “Haiyaaa, kwani sikuizi Akili Kids! pia iko kwa simu?” She bubbled. “Eeeeh! marafiki zetu shule walituambia ata wao huwa wanawatch Akili Kids! kwa simu ya mama zao.” Replied Boi. “Wanafanya aje ndio waweze kuwatch Akili Kids! kwa simu?” Inquired the mother. “Kuna App wanadownload kwanza ya K24 Plus alafu wanawatch Akili Kids! hapo.” Said Boi. He seemed to know it all.  “Wacha niwadownlodie hiyo App ya K24 Plus kwanza.” She proceeds to Google Playstore and installs the app. “Haya shikeni sasa mwatch Akili Kids!” She says as she hands them over the phone “Mum! ni kama inataka tulipe!”  Mmmh! hamkuwa mnajua inalipiwa?  She asked. “Wacha tuone” She clicks on Akili Kids! and proceeds to pay for the subscription. “Ndio hio, ni 40 bob  tu.” Nimeshalipa, sasa mnaweza kujienjoy.” She assured. They continue with their journey and they reach their final destination – Kakamega(Shagz) BTW, mnaspend this Christmas wapi; Mjini ama mnaenda Ushago?

Part 1 : Christmas Eve “Mama Vinii, Mama Vinii… Mambo?” – Sydo Greeted his Aunt. “Poa sana Sydo,” replied her Aunt “Habari ya Nairobi?” She asked with a smile on her face. “Ni poa sana. Tumefunga shule  na Dad alitupromise tutakuja Ushago tukifunga shule” replied Sydo. “Akina Vinii, Manu na Vanessa wako wapi?” He asked excitedly. “Wamepeleka ngombe mtoni kula na kunywa maji, alafu wataoga wakimaliza.” She told him. “Si tunaeza kuenda kuona ng’ombe huko mahali wameenda” He inquired. “Eeeh, wacha Daniel awapeleke” said Mama Vinii. “Danie, peleka hawa watoto mtoni mahali akina Vini wako.” She called out to Daniel. “Boi, twende mtoni akina  Vinii wako huko.” Said Sydo to his elder Brother Boi. They agree and immediately follow Daniel as he leads them down the stream. “Boi, Sydo!” shouted Vinii upon seeing his favorite cousins.  “Waaaah! Mmekuja ushago.” said Vinii “Mmekaa sana bila kukuja.” “Dad alitupromise tutakuja tukifunga shule this time, na sasa tumekuja.” Babbled Sydo. The children looked very elated. “Kujeni tuswim. Kujeni ” Said Vinii. Boi and Sydo jumped in the water and they all played and had a great time with their cousins. Later in the evening, they left to go back home with the cows. They showered and gathered in their grandma’s house for stories.  As they were settling down, Keni noticed something. “Dad, Dad! mbona ile mbuzi haijaingizwa ndani ya nyumba kama zingine.” Keni asked curiously. “Kwa sababu hiyo ndio tutachinja siku ya Christmas.” replied the father. “Eeeh, ata mimi nataka kuchinja mbuzi baba” Boi requested. “Watu wanachinja mbuzi ni watu wakubwa. Lazima uwe na nguvu nyingi kama mimi.” Echoed their dad. “Lakini usijali, unaweza nisaidia kuchinja” Assured the dad. “Ni sawa basi.” said Boi They all had their evening meal as the children gathered around a fire lit outside for stories from their grandmother.  Shosh was always telling stories to the children during the long holidays and they used to enjoy it a lot. Part 2: Christmas Day “We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year” musical notes  The children were singing in unison. Boi, Sydo, Keni and their cousins excitedly wake up singing the Christmas carols. They were very excited and they looked forward to this day. “Eeh watoto!, Mmeamka mapema hivyo kuimba?” Asked Mama Boi as she walked to the living room. “Merry Christmas Mum, Merry Christmas Dad.” Said the kids to their parents. “Merry Christmas Boi, Sydo” Merry Christmas kila mtu” Said Mama Boi and Baba Boi. “Sasa wacha tuanze kupika na Mama Vinni na shosh.” Said mama Boi. The children hurriedly rush out to the field to catch some grasshoppers while watching their father and other men slaughter the goat. After a few minutes, their aunt calls them back for breakfast. “Kujeni mkule breakfast.”Calls their aunty Mama Vinii. The children rush back to the house and they enjoy the delicious breakfast of Mandazi, buttered bread, milk, and porridge. “Sasa mkacheze na msichafue hizo nguo mmevaa saizi.” Says Mama Boi. “Hatutachafuka Mum” replies Keni, the younger sister as they walk out. They play brikicho(Hide and seek) together with their cousins Vinii, Manu and Vanessa.        The day goes well for everyone. They slaughter a chicken for the special occasion. At lunch hour they all gather for their Christmas feast. “Mum na mmepika kuku vitamu, kwani mlifundishwa kupika kuku kwa shule?” Asked Vinni to his mother. They all shared in the light moment as they continue to enjoy their meal. “Na hizi machapo ni poa sana. Tunaweza kubeba zingine twende nazo Nairobi?” Teases Baba Boi. “Zitakuwa zimeisha zote kabla mrudi Nairobi” replies Shosh. They really enjoyed their Christmas meal and they were all happy and excited. Mmespend aje Christmas Yenu? Tuambieni.

It is morning and Baba Boi looks distressed about something. He is typing something on his smartphone. 

“Aaaaargh! Kwani hii password ni gani? si nakumbuka vile niliweka last time,” said Baba Boi. “Kwa nini saizi inanisumbua.” 

“Baba Boi, ata wewe huwa unapoteza password yako kila saa,” said Mama Boi. “Na hata hujakaa na hii simu kwa mda mrefu.” She said.

“Si ati napoteza password,” said Baba Boi. “Kila time naweka password kwa account yangu ya Facebook iko sawa, lakini next time nikijaribu kuiweka tena, ni kama imebadilika.”

“Uko sure hakuna mtu mwingine anajua hiyo password yako?” asked Mama Boi.

“Ama kuna mtu anaweza kuwa amehack Facebook account yangu?” said Baba Boi. “Unajua juzi nimekuwa kwa cyber cafe.  Walikuwa wananisaidia kubadilisha password. Sijui kama walilog out kwa account yangu.”

“Basi, itabidi tumebadilisha password yako saizi,” she said. “Ndio sasa next time ukuwe unaikumbuka na kuijua vizuri.”

Baba Boi hands over his phone to Mama Boi. She is helping him out with the password issue.

Mimi sijui vitu mingi sana kuhusu hizi mambo za social media, lakini najua password yako hufai kuwa unasahau tu hivo,” Said Mama Boi. “Nimejifunza kidogo kidogo kwa ile show akina Boi wanawatch ya Flash Squad.”

“Ooooh, naikumbuka,” he said. “Inaendelea aje?” He asked.

“Iko poa so far.” She replied. “Unajua last time, ilikuwa inahusu kupoteza password, kama tu wewe.”She teased.

She hands over the phone to him.

“Sasa weka password mpya hapa,” she instructs. “Na usiniambie.”

“Wacha niweke ile yenye natumia kila mahali.” He said.

“Apana, usifanye hivo!” She exclaimed.

“Ata kwa Flash Squad wanasema, ile password unatumia kwa account moja, hufai kutumia kila mahali,”  she said.“Tumia password different kwa kila account.”

“Kwa nini, na hiyo ndio nitakumbuka virahisi?” He asked.

“Unajua kama mtu amepata password yako ya account moja, anaweza kuaccess hizo account zingine,” said Mama Boi.“Ndio maana hufai kutumia the same password kila mahali.”

“Sawa, na nikisahau hii ingine?” Asked Baba Boi.

“Wewe andika kwanza, niko hapa kukusaidia,” said Mama Boi.

“Nimeandika,” said Baba Boi.

“Sasa, shika kalamu na karatasi, uandike hiyo password alafu utaiweka mahali haitapotea,” She said. “Na pia mahali mtu hawezi kuipata.”

“Wueh, na wewe ni mnoma!” Said Baba Boi.

“Nakuwanga mnoma kila siku,” she chuckled. “ Sasa hizo steps, ndio zinaitwa permanence, privacy na protection.”

“Basi ntabadilisha passwords zangu zote, na niziandike kwa notebook yangu ya secret passwords,”  he said.

It’s a typical Saturday morning. Mama Boi is cleaning around the living room. She is expecting to host her nephews and niece for the day.

“Knock, Knock, Knock,” someone is knocking on the door.

“Hodi.” It’s Mama Janet – elder sister to Baba Boi.

“Karibuni sana Mama Janet.” Welcomed Mama Boi.

“Asante sana Mama Boi,” Said Mama Janet. “Tunashukuru.” 

“Akina Boi na Sydo walikuwa wamefurahia sana kujua cousins zao wanakuja  kuwatembelea  hii weekend.” Said Mama Boi.

“Ata mimi nimefurahi sana kuwaona.”  Sighed Mama Janet as she sat down. “Mara ya mwisho kuonana ilikuwa before COVID-19 alafu tukakuwa na lockdown.” She said, “Na Keni amekuwa mkubwa, ameshafika 3 years?” She asked.

“Ako karibu kufika,” explained Mama Boi. “Keni ako na miaka mbili na miezi sita.” “Janet na Kevin pia wamekuwa wakubwa, mpaka sasa Janet ako na simu yake. Sasa amebakisha kupata tu kazi.” Teased Mama Boi.

“Ata kazi yake ni kupiga mapicha na kupost kwa social media kila siku.” Ridiculed her mum.

They all joined in the laughter

“Hio ni nzuri sana. Wacha nipanguze meza alafu niwaletee Chai.” Said Mama Boi as she was heading to the Kitchen area.

“Wacha nikuje nikusaidie Mama Boi.” Said Mama Janet as she followed her.

The children were by themselves in the living room. They were happy to see each other and had a small chat.

“Waaaah, Boi kwani mlinunua TV kubwa?” asked Kevin. He was so amused to see the enormous screen size mounted on the wall.

“Eeeeh, Dad alitununulia TV kubwa ndio tukuwe tunaona Akili Kids! TV vizuri.” Replied Boi.

“Aaaaaai, kwani hamkuwa mnawatch Akili Kids! TV kwa ile TV ingine?” inquired Kevin. “Si ilikuwa tu sawa?” 

“Sisi tulikuwa tunataka kuwatch Akili Kids! TV kwa screen kubwa kama vile watu huwa wanawatch kwa Cinemas.” Said Boi “Lakini, time ya Easter, Dad alipata offer poa sana ya .….” 

“Ni mimi niliconvince Dad anunue hii TV”. Interrupted Sydo.

“Apana si wewe!” shouted Boi.

“Ni mimi” replied Sydo.

“Sasa mtashinda mkibishana ni nani aliconvince baba yenu kununua TV?” jumped in Janet. “Ebu nipatie remote ya TV Sydo niweke reality show ile napenda.” She commanded.

“Lakini sisi tunataka kuwatch Akili Kids! TV.” Cried out Boi and Kevin.

“Basi wacha niweke tu kidogo, nipige picha ndio nitaonyesha friends wangu nilikuwa naiwatch.” 

The younger ones agreed but unwillingly.

She changed the channel and watched for a few minutes, probably less than 5 minutes. She took out her smartphone and took photos of the show on the TV.

Immediately, Janet posted the photos and a video clip of her watching her favourite reality show on Instagram. 

She captioned, ‘Tuned into my favourite reality show’ #realitytv#enjoyment#tuenderoad#fedhaestate#bigscreen

The children enjoyed continued watching the television and Kevin, Stevo together with Boi and his siblings watched the repeat of Flash Squad at 3:00PM. The show ended after 10 minutes.

“Waaaah! Waseeh! nimefanya mistake kubwa sana.” Said Janet feeling remorseful.

“Umefanya nini?” asked Boi.

“Nimepost photos na video nimerecord tu saizi online, na nimeweka details mingi sana kama jina ya estate yenu na barabara pia.” She said. “Alafu kuna mtu amecomment ati ‘tunakujia hiyo tv’ kwa comments.”

“Mtu anakujia TV yetu?“ asked Boi. “Kwani hujaskia vile wamesema kwa Flash Squad kuhusu kupost vitu online.”

“Si tumewatch tu saizi, kwani ningejua aje kile wangesema before show ianze?” rebutted Janet.

“Hufai kupost online kuhusu mahali uko, ju watu wabaya wanaweza kupata. Alafu ile time umepost haufai kukuwa hapo saizo.” Said Boi.

“Boi! Boi! alafu pia walisema kama kuna information private, mtu asipost online.” Added Sydo.

“Eeeh! pia hiyo.” Affirmed Boi.

Mama Boi and Mama Janet come back to the living room.  

“Ni nani huyo amefanya mistake kubwa sana?” Asked Mama Janet.

“Ni Janet Mum.” Snitched Kevin.

“Amefanya nini?” She asked Kevin.

“Amepost picha na videos online na aliweka details mingi sana.” He said. “Alafu after tumewatch Flash Squad akaona mtu hafai kufanya hivo.” 

“Janet! kwani hujui kuna vitu mtu hafai kupost online.” Said Mama Janet. “Hufai kupost location yako, mahali unaishi, namba yako ya simu, ID number, bank account details zako na hata saa zingine mambo ya kazi.” She warned her.

“Pole sana mum, sitarudia. Hii ndio mara ya mwisho.” She assured the mum.

“Na wewe ndio master wa kupost na hujui vitu mtu hafai kupost.” Teased the mum.

“Umeshadelete hizo picha na videos?” Asked Mama Janet.

“Bado.” Replied Janet.

“Nadelete to saizi, one minute tu.” Said Janet.

“Aya, nishadelete.  Poleni waseeh! Najua ningewaweka kwa situation mbaya. Nimelearn mistake yangu. Sitarudia tena.” She said.

It is a chill Sunday afternoon. Baba Boi is done cleaning his motorbike, ready to begin his week on Monday.

“Daddy, si ulisema utatubeba kwa bike yako, leo?” asks Keni as she comes running to her Dad.

“Yes, kamum, najua niliwapromise, lakini nimeosha tu bike saizi, labda niwabebe kwa bike lakini hatuendi mahali, si ni sawa?”. 

“Sawa Dad,” She said in a joyous mood.

“Basi enda ukaite Boi na Sydo mkuje niwabebe, alafu nitawapiga picha kama mko kwa bike”

“Boi!, Boi! kuja dad anatuita, Sydo kuja” She runs to the house to call her elder siblings.

“Boi, nataka niwabebe kwa bike leo lakini hatuendi mahali, nitawapiga tu picha ni kama mnaendesha motor bike”.

He proceeds to put down the Bike stand, then lifts the children onto the bike. He takes out his smartphone and takes a Selfie facing the kids on the motorbike and two more selfies.

He immediately proceeds to posts the photos on Facebook and caption “Sunday ni kurelax na family” #family#chilling#goodtimes

It is Monday evening and Baba Boi is back home after a long working day. He appears bothered. Mama Boi welcomes him to the house.

“Mambo Baba Boi, siku yako imekuwa aje leo?” asks Mama Boi.

“Job imekuwa poa, lakini kuna watu wamekuja kuniharibia siku jioni vile nilikuwa naangalia Facebook yangu”.

“Kwani nini imefanyika?” asked Mama Boi.

“Sasa, jana after nimemaliza kuosha bike around lunch time, niliweka watoto kwa bike tukapiga mapicha, kujibamba tu!Alafu nikapost kwa Facebook”.

“Leo jioni, kuingia kwa Facebook, napata kuna watu wengine wameanza kuongea vibaya kunihusu na kuhusu zile picha nimepost.”

“Na ni kama, si real accounts kwa sababu zile majina wanatumia, ni za kuguess, na pia ni watu wenye si friends zangu”.

“Ati ni za kuguess?” asks Mama Boi while laughing.

“Kuna mmoja aliongea vibaya sana, wacha tu nikuonyeshe”

He takes out his phone to show Mama Boi the comments. The first comment which had tonnes of reactions read;

How can you leave your children alone on the motorbike, that is very dangerous. You need to be a careful father! -(Phyllo Queen Mtrue)’

Huyu anataka watoto wake pia wakuwe bodaboda riders in life, you need to give your children a better vision in life.(Johnte Mhumble )’

Other people had also negatively commented on these two posts.

“Niliwajibu vibaya ata mimi, sikuwaacha tu hivo” said Baba Boi.

“Alafu sasa, wakaanza matusi, mimi sikuwa na time ya kuwajibu tena, so nikawaacha tu hivo. Lakini nataka kudelete ata hii picha, ndio watu wengine wasikuje kucomment vitu mbaya”.

“Si ungewacha tu kubishana na wao. Kwanza, Boi, ile show ya Flash Squad yenye mliwatch, si walikuwa wanaongelea mambo ya online trolling?”.

“Eeeeeh!” shouted the kids in unison.

“Eh! ni show gani hiyo sijui?”, asked Baba Boi.

“Inaitwa Flash Squad Dad, iko kwa Akili Kids! TV” Keni told her father.

“Eeeh, waliona kwa Akili Kids! TV, last week on Friday” added Mama Boi.

“Kwani hiyo show ilikuwa inahusu nini?” inquired the dad.

“Daddy!, daddy! kuna msichana anaitwa Phiona, aliambiwa vitu mbaya kwa social media, na kumbe mwenye alimwambia alikuwa ni msichana mwingine tu wa shule yao anajifanya ni mtu mwingine” said Sydo in a joyful  mood as the others watched him explain to their father.

“Ni kama hao watu walikuwa wanacomment vitu mbaya mbaya, hata siwajui lakini waliamua tu kusema vitu mbaya”

“Anyway, sasa alifanya nini?” asked the dad.

“Dad!, kwa Flash Squad walisema step 1 ni Report” said Boi.

“Hiyo ndio nini sasa” exclaimed Baba Boi.

“Kureport, ni kutuma complaint ya hiyo account inasema vitu mbaya  kukuhusu kwa Facebook” explained Mama Boi.

“tuna click tu hizo comment zao alafu kuna option ya kureport, tunaclick hapo”.  Said Mama Boi as she was showing him how do it.

“Dad!, alafu step ingine yenye walisema kwa Flash Squad ni Block” said Sydo.

“Ata wewe unajua baba?” asked Baba Boi.

“Eeeh! najua. Ukiblock hao watu, hawatakuwa wanaona Facebook yako” said Sydo.

“Anamanisha posts zako za Facebook na kila kitu unapost hawataweza kuona” clarified Mama Boi.

“So, tutaclick hiyo jina zao alafu tuclick on Block user” she continued.

“Na last step ni gani?” she said in excitement while looking at the Kids.

“Clean” they all shouted in excitement.

“Kuclean ni, kumake sure umedelete hizo comments mbaya from your post,” emphasised Mama Boi.

“Ebu, delete hizo comments kwanza” she insisted.

“Sasa hiyo ndio REPORT, BLOCK AND CLEAN” said Mama Boi.

Boi and his siblings, Sydo and Keni are back home from school. They have just closed for their mid-term break and are about to start binge-watching on Akili Kids! TV.
“Mum! Mum!, leo kwa shule headmaster alituambia tumefunga shule for mid-term holiday”
“Eeeeeh!, hiyo ni poa sana!” Exclaimed Mama Boi.“So mmefunga for how long?” She asked. 
“Teacher kwa class alisema atatupea homework ya kutosha for 5 days, ni kama itakuwa for 5 days”
“Kwa hivyo uko na homework ya kufanya?”  Na wewe Sydo na Keni, mko na homework?” 
“Eeeeeh!” said the children in a cheerful manner.
“Basi nataka, mjipange vizuri na timetable yenu, alafu mmalize homework zenu, mmeniskia?”
“Yeees Mum!” said the kids as they went to change their school uniforms and keep their bags away.


Sydo and Boi come back running to the living room. Hurriedly they grab the remote. Boi does so before Sydo. 
“Mbona mnakimbia hivo ndani ya nyumba?” Asked Mama boi while seeming a little bit displeased.
“Mnajua mnaweza kuumia vibaya, na sina pesa ya kupeleka mtu hospitali. Ni nini mnakimbilia hivo?”
“Ni remote!” Poor Sydo cried out as he had lost to his brother Boi.“Nataka kuwatch Akili Kids!” said Boi. 
“Basi si mnaweza kuwatch bila kukimbia hivo kwa sitting room.”
“Kama mnataka kuwatch Akili Kids!, kuna a new show niliona wanaleta inaitwa FLASH SQUAD”.
“Wooooow!” Keni, the younger sister was amazed, “Ni poa Mum?” she asked.
“Ata mimi sijui, inakaa kuwa poa juu ile trailer wamekuwa wakileta ni poa sana.”
Keni and her siblings were all elated about the news their mum was giving them.
“Inakuja saa ngapi?” asked Boi. “Inaanza by 7:30 PM on Fridays kwa Akili Fam!.
Mkiwacha mimi na Baba yenu tuwatch news leo usiku, tutawaekea after news.”
“But mum, news inabooooo!” said Boi in a gloomy face. 
“Basi tuweke 15 minutes after news imeanza.” said Boi
“Wacha tuweke after 20 minutes!” Sydo jumping in to negotiate.
“Lakini ata Flash Squad haitakuwa imeanza” Mama Boi trying to convince them. “Ni sawa Mum! Bora utatuwekea after news, sindio?”
“Yes kamama” she assured the little one.


Time passed and evening approached. The children were all excited to begin watching Flash Squad.
“Mum, news imeisha, tuwekee Akili Kids! pleeease😊😊😊,” pleaded the young one, Keni.
She switched the channel and Flash Squad had barely started.
They were sitting pretty and you could see the excitement in their faces.
The show is showingMIMI(A character in the show) is at her locker.
Her smartphone pings and she looks at the screen. We don’t see what is on it, but Mimi is clearly distressed.
The kids remained glued to the television, and they watched till the end without anyone interrupting their attention on the show.
“Waaaah, na iko Bie” said Boi and all his siblings nodded in agreement. 


The show ended after 10 minutes.
“So mum! unakumbuka, ile time watu walihack Facebook account yako alafu wakaanza kuitisha friends wako pesa…” Sydo in amusement said.
“Basi ata sisi tukipata simu, tutakuwa careful sana na mambo ya social media”
“Eeeeh! ni vizuri mkae rada”, said Mama Boi laughing with the kids.
“Basi hii Flash Squad ni noma, itakuwa inawapatia information poa poa especially kuhusu vile mtakuwa mnajichunga na mambo ya internet na social media.” Said Mama Boi.

Baba Boi comes home from work feeling a bit grumpy. He sits at his usual spot in the living room and and he is not in the mood to watch Akili Fam! with akina Boi. That’s quite strange. Hadi watoto wameshangaa… 

There’s an uncomfortable silence which is quickly interupted by a question…

“Ni nini mbaya?”  Mama Boi asked.

“Kuchoka tu…” Baba Boi replied.

“Aii…apana. Kuna kitu inakusumbua. Ni nini? Niambie…”Mama Boi insisted.

“All my friends are getting their loans approved na sasa they’ve bought new boda bodas while mine have all been denied.” he vented out.

“How am I supposed to expand my boda business kama ata siwezi pata kasoft loan? Yet my credit score iko tu sawa. Hii 2022 inafaa iwe mwaka yangu but so far, niko nyuma!” Baba Boi lamented.

“Okay. Okay. Wacha I’ll see how to help”. Mama Boi encouraged him.

The next day, Mama Boi was having her bi-weekly chama in her house. She seemed to be detached from this meeting…

“Mama Boi, umefikisha cabbage huko kaloleni?” Mama Majembe teased.

“Mama Boi, Mama Boi”…

“Oh! Oh! Sorry, Mama Majembe. My mind had drifted kidogo.” Mama Boi snapped out of her thoughts.

“Eii, nimukuita mara mingi! Kwani leo huchangii meeting?” Mama Majembe asked.

“Pole. Nilikuwa nafikiria loan ingine hapo Baba Boi amekuwa akijaribu kuapply but hajafaulu. I wonder how I can help him…” Mama Boi inquired.

“What has he been wearing akienda kuapply loan kwa hio offici?” Mama Majembe asked.

“His kawaida motorbike suit. Why?” Mama Boi replied. “Hmmmm…Unajua ukiwa kwa boda boda, ni rahisi sana nguo yako kupata uchafu. Si vumbi, si matope, si kunyeshewa…so, unaweza pata nguo imepata stains over time. Unaweza angalia kama his suit 

has stains then do the necessary. Plus, watu husema first impression matters…” Mama Majembe advised.

“Btw!!! Mbona sikufikiria hivo. Wacha nitaenda supermarket after this meeting kuget sabuni strong!” Mama Boi replied.

Later that day, Mama Boi went to the supermarket. As she was strolling down the isle ya soaps, akaona the New OMO Bleach Multipurpose kwa shelf. Zilikuwa tatu. Regular, Color Safe na Lemon. They were all calling her name. She picked one and read the instructions carefully. Mama Boi was convinced it would work and she decided to try out OMO Color Safe. It was only 30 bob! 

Mama Boi got home in good time and washed Baba Boi’s Motor Bike Suit. As she was washing, the fragrance of the soap lingered in the air and the soap was super gentle on her hands. Once Mama Boi was done, she rinsed the suit and hanged it on the line to dry. 

“Baba Boi, I think you should go back to that office and reapply the loan.” Mama Boi advised.

“Sure?” Baba Boi asked.

“I have increased your chances of getting that loan approved.” Mama Boi confidently affirmed him.

“Aje?” Baba Boi asked.

“I have my ways.” Mama Boi smirked.

“Fine, ntakuwa hapo kesho by 7 am.” Baba Boi agreed.

True to his words, Baba Boi was at the office by 7 am sharp! He noticed the admin was smiling at him and surprisingly asked him where he got his suit. Kidogo kidogo, the admin gave him his application papers with a stamp of approval. Everything was happening fast, it almost felt like one of those “DJ Afro’s” movies. Haraka haraka, Baba Boi got on his bike and dashed home to share the news with his wife.

 My beautiful goddess! My loan has been approved! “ Baba Boi hugged his wife.

“That’s wonderful! I’m so happy for you! You can now get more bodas for biashara” Mama Boi replied.

“ Oh yes!!! Ebu niambie, how did you do it?” Baba Boi asked.

“It’s the OMO Bleach Multipurpose I used to wash your suit. And it worked!” Mama Boi gleefully replied.

“Ha! That’s why the admin kept asking where I got my suit from. You smart woman!” Baba Boi replied. 

It was a good day at Boi’s home and everyone was happy! What a relief! 🙂

“Peep and The Big Wide World ikiisha, si tufanye general cleaning. Kila mtu, atakua na a small task kufanya ndio tumalize kazi haraka, sindio?” Mama Boi requested.
