“I’ve been seeing photos of Chira’s burial and it was so chaotic. disorganized. Too much noise…tumblers everywhere cameras, left right and centre. Manshoot content. Mmlikuwa mpaka mnatwerk. kwa burial, surellly!! You din even care to give the family a chance to mourn their son.

The last time I checked or from my experience through burials that Ive attended burials come with so much pain esp the fact that we’ve lost a young soul . It’s not like we are celebrating an old mans death who passed away, at 100 plus years.

Nooo! ata hip regardless its so painful coz this person is gone…gone foreverrrr! i get it was supposed to show unity and love but jana most of you guys mliburnnnn. Mungekaa tu home . Jana was perfect definition of watu kuja burial yako kama roadtrip.”
