This Nigerian Artist Thought Nairobi Was a Place Where Elephants, giraffes, zebras Freely Roamed the Streets

Olamide Adedeji,a nigerian musician,is in the country courtesy of Coke Studio.
However the obviously naive singer couldnt avoid making a fool of himself when asked what he thought about kenya.

"I had never visited Nairobi before. In fact, before leaving Lagos to come here, I didn't bother to get any background information on Kenya. I had already formed my own impression of the country in my head. I had this fantastic imagination that Nairobi was a place where elephants, giraffes, zebras and other wild animals freely roamed the streets. I envisioned a place with Maasais jumping up and down, and killing lions with their bare hands. Besides, isn't Kenya known much for its wildlife? Isn't that what the country is marketed for? You can't entirely blame me and other people who think likewise."

That said, I am quite impressed by what I have seen so far since I landed here on June 22. I have never met friendlier people. The hospitality is top notch. Before my visit, I happened to listen to dancehall musician Wyre, and I am looking forward to enjoying more of his music while in the country.
