Nairobi City is a busy metropolitan area filled with residents of diverse backgounds who are undoubtedly one of the craziest if not the most creative individuals in Africa.
In fact there are things you will find nowhere else but in Nairobi. From the language Nairobians speak, the swag, the activities that take place in the capital will with no doubt buffle many first-time visitors.
Talk of the hustlers of Eastlands, the revelers in Westlands, the strugglers from Githurai, the slum dwellers in Mathare and Kibera, the middle class in Langata and along Mombasa road, the 'country folks' of Kangemi and its environs without forgeting the nationals from the 'diaspora' otherwise known as Rongai.
But the online creativity by Nairobians and generally Kenyans has previously gotten not only the continent speaking but even the world. The hashtags #someonetellnigeria and #someonetellCNN got BBC warning the rest world not to start twitter wars with Kenyans.
However, the hashtag #YouareNairobianif is our focus now and here are some of the best:
