Way to reduce your carbon footprint, mostly by increasing your print on tarmac. It sure looks like fun!
This priceless picture thanks to Lady Jay Dee’s blog.
Suggestion was perhaps several trips at worst. At best, bus or other means of transport where they would not be so exposed to the elements or danger of critical injury.
I do hope they made it to their destination safe and sound.

Rear view
Front view, note the spiral steel staircase. No, it is not the fire escape.
We are moving on up, to a highrise apartment in the skyhiiiigh…The Jeffersons sure did not have this apartment in mind when they were writing that theme song, yes?

Would you believe me if I told you that this is a HOSTEL!!!
LOCATION: Juja [Nairobi - Thika Road]
APPROXIMATE SIZE: 100 square feet! (3m by 3m)
But I understand why he did this…Hostels in Juja sell like hot cake! There’s a huge demand for them. I hope he gets tenants though…
I personally think this is an EPIC WIN.

Oh, the irony!
No suggestion on what I’d do better, other than maybe, errrr… actually write an “About” page? LOL.

Too often we sit by and say nothing as failed programs, projects and ideas are launched into and inside Africa. Here’s a chance for you to air your gripes and show us all just how cynically intelligent you are. To anonymously state why you think “project x” is a complete waste of resources, time or is a danger to society.
In most cases, there reasons why groups are doing something is for a good purpose, they are just tragically mislead, ignorant or both. Which is why we apply the “ONE RULE” at AfriFAIL, and that is that you must give one suggestion of how this failure might not have been. A way it could have been a success.
You’re also free to post your funny African fail pictures:
An electric pole planted in the middle of the road, why?
