A day in Eastleigh , Nairobi.

I didn’t understand how the night came to pass,damn it! I had heard a drowning crawl of the estate cock – yes that huge, long-nailed black and white brutal cock. Everyone knows it especially from how thorough and ‘cruel’ it climbs the neighbors’ chicken regardless of their ages. As a matter of fact could it be a human being it would be long dead following a mob justice for raping mothers and children in the estate if not rotting in Kamiti maximum prison! It is that grievous.

An open letter to my sweetheart, cc to all ladies in relationships.

Dear Elena my love,

I have severally overheard you and your girlfriends the likes of Asha, Amina, Peninah, charity [come on, you know them], say that we, men are dogs! Of course I’ve never confronted you over the remark but that doesn’t mean that I accepted that as a man, am a dog.

You are entitled to your opinion and definitely you have a right of expression. Am very aware that our relationship has turned out to be a rough journey on a roller coaster; we quarrel often and if we fail to do something about it, our world might split. We are doing well though.

Our Private Security Firms are wanting

Last weekend I walked with a lady friend of mine into one of Nairobi’s outstanding malls. As the norm, at the main gates we walked past a tight private security personnel inspecting vehicles entering the mall’s public parking. At the building’s entrances were more security personnel armed with scanners and metal detectors inspecting each and everybody entering the business hub.

Counterfeit phones crackdown; A double-edged sword, but for how long?.

In Kenya, we’ve known authorities over the ages to be more talkative and good at giving threats and promises and too bad at keeping their word. However this time round, Communication Commission of Kenya has in conjunction with Kenya’s four telephony service providers taken us by surprise. This is through the counterfeit phones shutdown exercise that was scheduled on September 30^th, 2012 being implemented.
