Many years ago i was a Mono in some good Boys school somewhere in Kilifi County.
So one day during a bullying secession, i was asked by some mean boy, "Wewe mono unapenda Soap gani?" I thought and i thought, i cant mention PANGA soap the one i am used to wash with back at home. I had to "jichocha" to create an impression that i wash with one of the finest soaps in the Kenyan market. So with a confident face i answered CUSSONS IMPERIAL LEATHER. Si vijana waaliisha na kicheko, later i learnt they meant which soap opera i liked.
I was very embarrassed, for a moment i thought, I am so primitive, but from where i hailed from soaps are reserved for the female species, so i felt i am more of a man than the other boys who i guessed watched soap operas, CHEEEIIII.... ABOMINATION ABEG......
Salalaah! I think you have seen it all.

ReplyDeleteBUT come to think of it.... Soap is soap... How soap became a movie, I am yet to understand... Their communication was not clear... They should attend SPU and take BACS! They will understand the 7Cs of effective communication and the characteristics of communication.... AMBIGUITY!

ReplyDeleteThe reason why Soap opera movies are referred to as Soap opera is that when these kind of movies started most of its sponsors were soap manufacturers and hence the name the “soap operas”.
