Why we wouldn't like a maize shortage

Living in Kenya is like living hell without fire, and if you manage to survive you can survive anywhere. Its like we are blessed with leaders who only think about themselves. For instance how can the price of maize flour skyrocket when farmers are giving positive reports of bumper harvests. They have reduced luhyas living in the city into behaving like stone age apes I find the queues in poshomills growing longer with each passing day They claim that sifted mauze has no ‘power'.They also claim that eating Ugali cooked with sifted maize flour is like eating Indomie which is equated to having your stomach mopped. One told me that flour is like rice and should be recommended for babies and not for legends like them with digestive systems with the similitude of crocodiles and alligators. In the former Western Province Ugali is like a drug you will get one saying that he hasn't eaten anything if he has taken rice and must be compensated by a small mountain on a plate. They can tak...

Those who were born before the millennium i mean the late 80s and early 90s had it great musically.we had a great deal of music starting from koffi olomide tshalamuana, Mbilia Bel my favourite to Awilo Longomba. These folks were so talented that the music they made managed to make the most saved of the pastors shake their bodies and twitch a buttock here and there in some uncontrolled pattern when their music came on. Radio stations weren't many in the country so most of us were at the mercy of KBC the only surviving government. Since the country was ruled by some man what they broadcasted was final. We had to bear with their unending adverts since they monopolized the airwaves. afete most of these Kardashian-Nicki Minaj wannabes wouldn't know what this life was.Many who grew up in this era know that listening to good music from those age-old radio cassettes was. If youn are from this era you might be tempted to tell Wasafi to leave us alone. We might even look for Migos parent...

how those who gambled on Manchester are

Chelsea might beat Liverpool today

Liverpool ended up beating Chelsea narrowly during the UEFA Super Cup on penalties which saw Tammy Abraham insult us by failing to convert a penalty. Chelsea has been underrated the most this season starting form their opening match against Manchester where they were thrashed to poor defending.Since Super Frankie changed his  formation from 4-3-3 to 3-5-3 that morphs into a solid middle field when off the ball and offers pressure when on the counter. meanwhile Liverpool might have problems at the back if virgil van dijk's injury is serious.Both teams suffered midweek defeats in their respective champions league fixtures. Valencia beat chelsea 1-0 while napoli proved too much to handle for liverpool and beat them 2-0. Since both games were pacy i expect some fatigue and balanced football.  This is the expected starting 11 for both teams but am backing Chelsea to win today.                 Chelsea XI:  Kepa, Zouma, Tomor...

Nostalgia.

   People can really be stupid when drunk and i tend to think that the person who discovered alcohol poured a little English and a lot of foolishness in it. While in campus my friend used to imbibe this bitter drink and start telling us how his ancestors from Nyamagesa are telling him to and swim in a certain river nearby in the wee hours of the night a behaviour i personally would call witchcraft. When gambling went well i mean (bet zikiingiana) we would come back crawling to our respective hostels. At times we ended up sleeping in the nearest hostel a friend had nearby. Mahali ulikua unaanguka ndo place ulikua unalala tu mpaka kesho. i used to wonder what ingredients are used in coming up with this alcoholic concoction that saw my friend confessing to his long term girlfriend that he had cheated on her (that was the last time in saw them together). I wonder why those biblical fools crucified Jesus someone who made wine out of water a fete that has beaten many. meanwhile con...
