UNIQUE-ITY

      So yesterday I needed to see a friend who studies law in Parklands School of Law UoN but I did not know how to get there. Call me geographically incorrect. I am very bad with directions. I figured that instead of asking for directions ( I am stubborn like that) I could just Google it. For some reason, The Nairobi University Parklands Campus in not on Google Maps. I asked the friend to tag me in his locating and this is what I got.
      

      There is actually a university called Inoorero University! Wow! Talk about kukosa jina. Of all the words in the mothertongue dictionary.
      At first I thought it was a Law inside joke that I obviously do not get until I physically reached there and saw that is was true. Inoorero University. Formerly KSPS. Kenya School of Probably Something.
      I spent the whole day (two minutes) trying to figure out why someone would call their school that and how many really take that school seriously? I mean, do people get laughed at when they say they go to school there?

Niko Poly. We Uko?

Inoorero.

Ati wapi? Nauliza uko chuo gani?

Si Inoorero.

Sawa its in Othero but what is called?

Yaani in short that is a weirdly long argument to have so probably the students there just say

Niko colle fulani huko Parki

and hope that the asker does not need more details because he will probably confuse it with the Law School. Because this is Kenya and we like to look down upon things that are local. We find the name Inoorero disgusting when in reality it is the most unique university name I have heard ever! Took me a second (two minutes) to realise it but I did.
      Most of the university names are either a person's name ( Moi , Strathmore , Kenyatta), locational ( Nairobi, Mt Kenya,) or just a a collection of initials and acronyms that confusing if you are Usually Slow in Understanding. But a unique name such as Inoorero University, iyo sijawahi skia. That is why I am loving that university right now. So Kenyan! Just hope its not all bantus get admitted in it and they do not actually teach in Kikuyu either. Because lets face it, albeit unique, it sounds like a place that would do that. But before I jump to more bashing, what does inoorero mean?


P.S Can someone put Parklands Campus on the map.
