VP Meetup. *pauses for a moment…draws out a sigh and attempts to go through with the post* A bunch of people have already shared their thoughts on said meetup. Here’s one by @kachwanya. Something I’ve come to appreciate with this wave of ‘political seduction’ on one of the most levelling, if not the only levelling […]
When I posed this rhetoric a couple of months ago, little did I know just how quickly my words would call out for answers/response. Well, here we are. The past week has been a very interesting one. On Tuesday,August 30th, the long awaited #DinnerWithPM finally materialized. Then on Thursday, September 1st, the #VPMeetup came to […]
I contemplated, for one regrettable second, to ‘draw inspiration’ for this post’s title from this headline that has been properly addressed by Media Madness aka @mediaMK (and since redone), but I puked a little at the thought. (Moral of the story: do not go with such silly headlines in the name of trying to popularize articles!) Back […]
Last week, through his official twitter account,Prime Minister Raila Odinga,(all protocol observed), expressed his intention to dine with tweeps,and asked Kenyans on Twitter to nominate those among them who would make good representatives at the round table forums that he occasionally has with various interest groups. It was all the buzz last Wednesday,with many a […]
Through corporate Kenya’s effort, we are feeding Kenya. To use the twitter hash tags: #Kenyans4Kenya, we are/have/shall #feedKE I understand, there was a need, and the need is being addressed. To every Kenyan, and indeed, any well-wisher who has donated to these worthy initiatives in some way or other, thank you is too small a […]

Parents have complete and utter confidence in him/her,and as such,they’ve entrusted them(child) with just about everything. When asked,they say that theirs is a dependable,responsible,credible child. Yet,as it turns out,said child is anything but! All that the poor parents boast about are […]
I might get fried for this one,but someone has to ask. Ok,we are charged,we are awakening/have awakened to the Kenyan reality,and it isn’t a rosy picture. It doesn’t sit well for most of us,and so we wanna do something to alleviate the situation. Mind you,this not only applies to the drought/food crisis,but to many other […]

Not too long ago, I told someone that Kenya could be a nation of brilliant,innovative,entrepreneurial minds…but with no food to eat. I never thought that I’d come as close as I have to witnessing this very near reality. I salute the great minds putting Kenya on the world map,especially in technology and athletics,a standing ovation […]
Almost every conversation I engage in these days has the phrase ‘Social Media’ sneaked in. I’ve met self-made gurus in this growing phenomenon,and been awed by the opportunities that ‘Social Media’ presents. For those still not so clear on the definition of said phenomenon,do take the time to visit the world wide web and inform […]
Let’s face it, it may well not be us.It is,however,very possible to at least catch a glimpse of a better Africa,a prosperous Africa,before the dusk of our lives approaches.I realize that we haven’t accepted this fact. The backlog of atrocities and injustices against our motherland predate our generation,and we have done quite well piling onto […]
