On Wednesday morning we woke up to the news that Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) was on fire. Letโs just face it, Kenyans tend to turn to social media for news before switching on the radio or TV these days so it when the news spread like wildfire (sorry, it had to be done) everyone who had access to a social media account, and especially … Continue reading Fire at JKIA
The funny thing is that when this bill was tabled, there were a lot of men who gasped in disbelief. I know this because many men whom I interact with, talk to and keep in touch with openly looked like wounded soldiers who couldnโt go on any more.

In fact I thrive in these winter months of ours because … Continue reading Our Winter Is Here!
Silly cartoons about the First Lady are coming up and all of a sudden everyoneโs a fashionista and decides how our First Lady should dress and behave. Continue reading Why donโt you all just leave the ‘First Lady elect’ alone?
Iโm not going to. Iโm sick and tired of people living abroad telling me what is wrong with my country. Iโm not a political expert, nor am I one of those who can knowledgably talk about infrastructure and whatnot. Iโm just a proud Kenyan who hates to hear nothing but criticism from people who donโt even live here. Continue reading INTERNATIONAL MEDIA AND THE ONES WHO CHOSE TO MOVE AWAY
On Monday we are all going to make decisions that will affect us in many ways for the next five years. On Monday we will all exercise our civic duty and go to the polling stations and vote… Read more Continue reading I CHOOSE PEACEโฆ
If youโre signed up for the micro-blogging site Twitter, youโll know at once what Iโm talking about. The wonderful and addictive world of Twitter has a magnetic pull that if you donโt … Read more Continue reading That Hashtag For Kenyans #KOT
The plight of the ordinary Kenyan can wrench anyone who has a heart. This clearly excludes the fat cats who donโt seem to see beyond their gold and diamond encrusted Rolex watches that… Read more Continue reading Kenyan Poverty โ a curse on our Nation
