Kenyans are a creative lot when it comes to passing information or entertaining each other through generating funny memes and coming up catchy phrases about day-to-day Kenyan life.
Examples of such catchy phrases include Mwanaume ni ... , Ujaluo ni gharama... , Kidogo kidogo ... among others.
Now a new phrase has been created and is taking over our online conversations among Kenyans.
The phrase is bangi si sukuma (loosely translates bhang is not kales) and through it Kenyans aim to sensitize others not to underestimate the harmful effects of bhang and therefore they should not abuse it.
The phrase is also used to encourage others to think reasonably at all times.
The phrase is usually accompanied by a story of something outrageous that someone did while under influence of the drug.
Those who are not good with words use funny photos to pass their messages across.
The following as some of the best jokes and stories shared by Kenyans on Facebook, Twiiter and Instagram using that phrase.
