10 types of comrades you will find in campo

It is that time of the year again when teenagers make a big step in their academic progression. Many have received their admission letters to various colleges and universities around the country and are very excited on what to expect when they report to start their stay. There are those who have already reported and are getting swirled in the confusion of being a shagzmoddoz fresher in the midst of comrades from diverse backgrounds. In campus there are many types of people and here are the most common ones you will not finish your orientation before you encounter.

1. Aoko, the village girl who reports with a metallic box full of vitenges and tailor made skirt and blouse suits. She has Obama braids or a shiny weave on top of her avocado shaped head. This type of girl has the latest brand of China phone and she proudly displays its fake brand name of either 'Nokla' or 'Samsvng' thinking it is either a Nokia or a Samsung brand. Aoko speaks in heavily accented English and Kiswahili and listens to loud gospel or ragga music from her Nokla handset without an earphone. Try shaking her mafuta ya ng'ombe conditioned hands and she will pull them away as fast as possible thinking that you are the guy her mother warned her about to be wary of in campo.
