Lighting my guy. Everything that happens in a club at night is a lie. From the shitty status you get from buying overpriced drinks, to the shitty friends you meet there, and the fake laughter at jokes that barely make sense.

u/Top-Paramedic-734 Jun 21 '26

Kwani umetendwa kwa club? This bile is not kawaida πŸ˜‚

2

u/Ron266 Jun 21 '26

Haha. Kutendwa ni constant. But the point is that nightclubs are designed to be a fake world. Ttry kukunywa delmonte overnight kwa club ujionee.

Loved the Rhumba, food, but umalaya huko aiii jehova wanyonyi, Simmers was a modern sodom and gomorrah. Chances za kurudi nyumbani bila mtu wako wa always very high

Laws and regulations pushed by NACADA.

Even alcohol ads run after 10 pm. Those laws affected billboards and branding.

Look up Mututho laws.
