Growing, my mother used to rear cows at large.
Most of the times ni sisis tulikuwa tunaenda nazo malishoni.
It was a criminal offence to let a cow breastfeed while in the grazing field.
But what used to suprise me is how my mum could easily realise that Ng'ombe ilikamuliwa or ulinyonywa.
With time nikajua masaa ya Kukamuliwa huwa inapiga mathe mateke na inatoa maziwa nusu.
IT'S YOUR PERFUME.
I've seen this many times. A foreigner or in this case a black person goes to China or East Asia, and they are greeted with covered noses and mouths.
They think to themselves, I smell good, I applied perfume before leaving, why are they doing this? This must be racism.
Chinese and East Asians do not have body odor, ~95% of us carry a variant in the ABCC11 gene causing us to produce no smell after sweating.
You can't even find deodorants supermarkets in China, people just don't need it. So our sense of smell is not used to strong perfumes, and when you enter a confined space with your perfume, people literally find the smell stinging our noses.
In Mwea, a poor man and his pregnant wife asked police officers for a lift... Midway, the police demanded a bribe of Ksh 1,000 or take them to the police station and plant bhang on them. The man panicked, jumped out the moving car, injured. Police officers, then took the shocked pregnant woman and threw her out of the speeding car. She died immediately... And all authorities in Mwea and dead silent... Inspector of Police is mute as usual...
