Arsenal

When I have nothing important to do I’m usually reading football. Yes, reading football. For those of you who don’t understand this, it is about scavenging the internet and hard copies for football news and gossip. For an ardent lover of the beautiful game and a great fan of the best footy club in the world; Arsenal, watching alone can not quench the thirst. Reading football has made me a better fan, now I understand quite a lot about the game and how it is played. I played football in college but it is far from pro football by a country mile. Now talking about fan’ship’ we have got three sets of fans: There are those I rate as below average, the ones who are waiting for a goal to cheer. To them a good match is one laden with goals and crazy foot works, a goalless draw despite the display is often dismissed as a dull game. These fans are especially active when major tournaments like world cup, Euro, and Africa Cup come around. They know very little about football outside match-days a

Mombasa Raha

If you are visiting the coastal city of Mombasa, don't fly; more so if you are a first timer. There are lots and loads to beautiful things to behold and do on the way. The Nairobi Mombasa highway is without match when it comes to scenery. Travelers are spoilt for choice of view as the state-of-the-art road snakes through Kambaland, Tsavo national park, Mitito Andei, and Voi (check order) along side the Kenya-Uganda railway. For history lovers, the memories of the man eaters are evoked but soon fade as the imposing minazis and madafus welcome you to the beautiful hot and historical city, Mombasa. WEATHER Mombasa is divided into two sections; mainland and island interlinked by ferries and a bridge. Likoni ferry is the gateway to the South coast and Nyali bridge links to northern residential and industrial areas which opt out of town. LIKONI FERRY It is a distinct city from its upcountry counterparts, in many ways it takes a break from what we've come to get used to in such places

Draft Constitution - Contetious Issues

Listening to the NTV debate on the Proposed new Constitution, especially on the abortion clause, I’m left in more dilemma. In the debate room all the contending parties were well represented with expert defense of their stance; the reason they are voting either YES or NO. In the opposing side strange bedfellows are propagating the NO campaign with vested interest and pure intention properly represented. I love listening to Reuben Kigame and his take on issues, he did not disappoint tonight. The clergy made no mistake to send one of Kenya’s finest interpreters of the Word; to say the least, his ‘apology’ on abortion leaves me challenged for the remaining six days. It is enough to say he is one of the few people opposed to the draft Constitution with genuine cause. I am now persuaded that no amount of debate and/or analysis can adequately and conclusively handle this topic. Here at play is Logic verses the Bible. While logic advocates kill the child and save the mother, the Bible states

Witchdoctor and the Grass-eaters

- Part One - Grass is to animals what Ugali is to man, but not anymore. This scenario is fast changing with many people taking to eating grass in the place of their livestock albeit involuntarily. Well, the last time the world was treated to this was about 2600 years ago when King Nebuchadnezzar was condemned to eat grass like cattle for seven years. This had come as a punishment for going against God’s will and seeking divine-like exaltation… this is a story for another day. The case at hand is a lot more difficult to handle as nobody can adequately and authoritatively ascertain its authenticity. All that we got here are stories from sources with lack of facts. Nevertheless, we write because it is an issue that touches on sensitive areas and has drawn the attention of many. For the past several months it has been in the news the case of a witchdoctor with the ability to make culprits eat grass like livestock. This witchdoctor (name withdrawn) comes from Western Kenya and has been per

Death in the Night

Brothers be Warned … just like the previous day and the day before and the day before that, he got himself drunk and rose up to stagger his way home. But this particular day was rather different because along the way he picked a woman (actually she was laying by the roadside) and asked her home. Drunkards have a fondness for one another; so thinking she was a comrade in the bottle he took her hand and offered to accommodate her for the night. But she wasn't drunk as such. What was happening there was that she had run away from home for harassment or I don't know what; she was carrying a pregnancy at an advanced stage. Now, there is no problem with that except that it was illegitimate. The man (mid 20s) under the influence of the ‘spirits' made advances to her convincing (or confusing) her that after all she can assume the wifely responsibilities. The dude was fresh from chasing away his wife with one kid for not being up to her tasks. The gates opened and he announced the a
