Moving up If she previously lived in Zimmerman, but suddenly moves to Ngong Road and starts saying things like, “Makangas harass commuters,” (previously known as passengers) and she drops a line like, ‘Zimmer is so crowded.’ 2. Shop business She suddenly opens a well-stocked shop, mostly selling clothes and handbags from ‘Dubai’ and you cannot trace source of the capital. 3. Expensive wear She wears expensive weaves, clothes and shoes. Women hate spending extravagantly on themselves if they are the ones footing the bill. 4. Loves Rhumba @PatOski on Twitter reckons those ladies who enjoy Rhumba are sponsored. I agree. Any woman under 30 who enjoys Rhumba has dated an older man.

Or she changes her smartphones with the regularity of a spoilt brat, yet she is just a student on HELB. 6. Exotic holidays She posts pictures of exotic destinations without male company.
