Picture this; You’re a 24-year-old guy in Nairobi. Your girlfriend just texted “We need to talk” after you forgot her birthday, again because you were juggling your kibarua , your mom’s “Tuma ya fertilizer” demands, and the fact that your “keja” is a curtain-partitioned corner in Kawangware. Society says “Be a man!” but doesn’t tell you how to survive when a plate of beans costs 100 bob, your side hustle imededi kama fish za Nairobi river , and your boys keep tagging you in memes about being broke, unfortunetly.

This week on ONCE BITTEN PODCAST, we’re keeping it raw, real, and 100% Sheng. Host Alexander bring in Guest-Hosts, Sam and Gabu in tackling the chaos of being a young African man now.

Like; Why she wants “energy” but ghosts when you suggest a “Netflix & Chill” at your Airbnb (aka your cousin’s couch), or Breaking your back on TikTok affiliate marketing just to afford a “flex” weekend at BND… only to end the month na deni ya Fuliza, ama Your uncle’s “We did it barefoot in the 90s!” lectures vs. your reality of sending “Niko na Talent, ntawacha kazi” to dodge his fake promise of giving a job after highschool.

The discussion on How to handle stress when your brain feels like a Maandamano ya Genz; overcrowded.

We’ll roast the toxic “Man Must Suffer” mindset (looking at you, guy who posts gym selfies but survives on mayai pasua na smocha), share survival hacks. Grab your earphones, mute your auntie’s “When will you marry?” calls, and join the vibe.

No scripts, no pretense just your boys keeping it real and unfiltered. Tafadhali, if you do feel like crying, jibambe.

Warning: Contains only Sheng words, relatable traumas, and jokes about your ex’s new “business partner” who looks suspiciously like her Insta gym coach.
Remember to listen, comment, like and share with your man.
