“Nlikuwa nauza njugu na kubandika posters around town. Nimewahi ata bandika poster ya Juacali, sikujua ntawahi kutana naye,” said Mejja.

Adding that

“Kuchongolewa ndio ilinipea psyche ya kuendelea kuandika ngoma.”

Crime

“Unajua msee, unaskia amepigwa risasi na unaenda unaona. Hiyo kitu inakupea uoga. Ukiona brains za msee inastick kwa mind yako,” said Mejja.
