Moi University Environment {Photo by Emmanuel Yegon} |
Setting your feet to this well-known institution that is the
mother of most scholars both those in progress and the alumni too, Moi University,
one is welcomed by a live line up of trees along the tarmac road and a cool
breeze of fresh air. Well, this gives an ideology that campus got the best
healthy environment but is it logic? Is it always a reality that what we
believe is what we get?
This is where congestion of every sort emanates. The so
called best transport system in the area-the noisy systems’ engines ever
catching the attention of many. The busy thwarting noisy facade of the business
centre giving well-off individuals a reason to never fall for the idea of
shopping in this sullied and jammed markets.
Imagine buying fish where dust is one of the added nutrients
in it? Are we pigs or human beings? ‘Germs are not aware’, this is the slogan
for many in a way of consoling themselves in accordance to health. Does that
really apply? Are we installing diseases into our ‘concocted’ bodies? Hah!
Maybe we are going digital- our bodies
acting like machines ever with breakdowns whenever a problem erupts.
The so called hostels welcome the
scholars in an unusual way; exactly the resemblance of the cosy and comfy
bedding exhibited in the online booking system. Is this the superb lifestyle in
the university? Is this the so called a place where one could just make his
dream come true with the noisy, congested and wicked surrounding?
The malodorous reek of the lavatories
could barely psyche one to breathe. The corridors more of encouraging embracing
as two comrades walk though. Is this the stress free life we had been yearning
for? A squeezed room: double-decker bed with two chairs and to wardrobes.
Imagine sending your friends out of for you to dress! If this is what survival
for the fittest means, then endure.
Night falls. Stillness and peace
in this institution is past tense. Music and raucous fusses of drunkards; stealing
the calmness of the vicinity. Is it a breeding ground for the immoral
activities as such? The attires gape mouths. The hairdressing styles-widen the
eyes almost popping out. Is the same dress code applied at home? Are we going bogus
and ersatz? Where is our sanity? Where is our sense of belonging to our traditional
norms and standards?
Who will answer all these quizzes
we have engraved within us for so long? Who is our next saviour? All the same,
we are the ones who create the problems, so, are we to solve them!
