When I was younger, I really wanted a middle name that started with an A...because all the other Luo girls had one. My name is Oyuga. When I asked my mother to change it, she said, and I quote- " Dhi kucho ibaro wiya!" Directly translated - 'Go there you are breaking my head!' (Go away you are giving me a headache!)
I get it now when my children want other names. We put a lot of thought into these names yawa.
Anyway, a few years ago I created my alter ego, Adua. I finally got my A name. I then shelved her for a bit. She is back now and not only that, she has been dating, in Nairobi!
Adua Is Dating In Nairobi is a comic book loosely or otherwise based on Oyuga's dating and relationship escapades in 'this our' Nairobi. If we have dated, you featured my guy, just buy the book so I have money if you decide to sue me. (I'm teasing ish).
I had a lot of fun creating this comic. I laughed at myself and also drank a lot of wine, Baileys, and rum (I'm saying I cried and cursed a lot).
Dating in Nairobi can be a wild ride filled with joy, heartache and laughter. Get ready to delve into the crazy, comedic and sometimes ridiculous world of dating with Adua.
Laugh, cry and get a few words of wisdom and caution.
