THE UGLY VILLAGE GIRL!

When I was joining college, many people including me were very humble and innocent- just like one of my lecturers Mr. Waweru kept saying that when people joined college, students were and are usually so innocent such that when it comes to ladies, they had/have those very long dresses reaching to the ankles. This is somewhat true since everyone is very enthusiastic to try out their new life and to explore their education and get the best. It is with no doubt that many of us came from the village- me included.

 Very few people come out of college changed in a positive way and this is a fact. Well, to this point, I wish to clarify something, life is personal yes but we have to talk about some things. Within a few weeks so many people start changing their behaviors and of course having made so many ‘friends’. There are two categories of people here; those from the village and urbanites and in one way or another; they want to show where the difference lies.

This urbanite will always want to show the village people that they are ‘so fly’ and they are more informed. In this case, I will use an example of two ladies. The lady from town is busy having some ‘good time’ with their friends in the name of ‘furahia maisha’ (Swahili language meaning ‘enjoy life’).

                                                             

The Village Girl

The urbanite can never miss paints of ‘colorful’ makeup, fly clothes and generally some good ‘desirable’ life. The urbanite lady goes ahead and gets a sugar daddy since the college boyfriend cannot meet her demands. This is still the kind of lady who will appear only during Continuous Assessment Tests just to leave in five minutes since she has nothing to fill in.

The urbanite can never miss paints of ‘colorful’ makeup, fly clothes and generally some good ‘desirable’ life. 

As this lady is busy doing all this, the ugly ‘village’ girl who wears old-fashioned clothes and does not know how to do her hair lady is busy making up her life by making good friends, doing what is expected of her and of course reading. This ‘village’ girl will always be insulted by the others for not ‘fitting’ in their cartels as you will even hear others saying ‘unachoma picha’ and such crap. With hope, perseverance and self-drive, they both complete school after some time.

Here now, the reality dawns! The urbanite leaves the school with almost three or more abortions, no certificates and it’s the real time for the VILLAGE girl to shine. The village girl has some education, some very good attributes and she is still a WOMAN. Five years later, the village girl is the most beautiful lady all over having achieved her life goals and having a lovely family. On the other hand, the urbanite is almost on her way to commit suicide since she wasted all her time in college and can witness the village girl shining. No one wants to be associated with her and truly, the village girl becomes safe and beautiful, she also becomes friendly and approachable.
