Let's Reflect...

 I do not know where the misconception came from which makes people feel that when they do not discuss or address sex topics or issues they are very holy. Am sure by now you are already getting defensive and claiming that what someone thinks or writes about that what they are all about. But at the end of the day the good book says God judges our motives. Dr. Phil did a show one time and his audiences were seeking his advice on how to address the sex subject. What the show revealed is how parents are terrified of the inevitable subject with their teenage children and some were getting relieved when he told them some topics are for their spouse if one was a mother of boys or a father of daughters. In the African culture when a father has son’s he feels very privileged because African culture glorifies the male child more than the girl child but regardless of the gender, as the years go by and kids grow up, parents start to dread the teenage years because they know they will

There is a mugiithi song I love so much. And allow me to make correction here when the word mugiithi is used every where it generally means kikuyu secular songs and not the popular notion that mugiithi only means that specific song that is commonly sang in weddings where people form a circle and go round dancing and producing a sound equivalent to that of the train when hooting. That, my friends, has been a poor representation of mugiithi. Now back to the mugiithi song it is about of a girl who is telling a lover, who also doubles up as her teacher that she is going to write a letter to her mother asking if what the teacher is doing to her is right. That she cooks for him, cleans after him while the other students continue with their studies and she ends up by telling the teacher he has become too much and then Salim Junior remixed the song and said ‘’Teacher! You have come too much (direct translation from kikuyu). And that is what Mr. President, et al, Kenyans are sayin

In my short or long stay on this earth I have had the privilege of interacting with many of the languages spoken in Kenya and one dialect I would say has stood out and I have come to love is the Luo dialect. The dialect according to me is very romantic; it should actually be classified among the others of the world which are regarded as romantic. The way their words flow, as they speak, one has no option but to enjoy listening. This is a language, firstly the words rhyme so well with English language; secondly a word can be used in so many instances until one gets confused. Take for example the now common words ‘ Gini Wesikawo ” when these words were spoken by supporters of one team who were shouting to the supporters of the opposing team, even before a football match was over that they have taken the trophy the same words have now evolved or transformed until they are featuring in adverts as a way of bidding us goodbye. Then there was the music duo Gidi Gidi and Maji M

There is something I cannot understand with our media people, you guys have power of influence but instead you choose cell tape yourselves and your cameras and head to the streets. I did not understand that message! You guys are an embarrassment to yourselves. Why do I say so, you people set the agenda for this country, you dictate what we read and watch. During the last general elections you guys preached so much peace until when we were going to vote I think, we were actually electing peace and not individuals. You then took the ICC theme and that is what we have been hearing and reading about until we are so fed up.   You deliberately or conveniently chose to ignore the victims who are still crying for justice. And since you dictate how we think, you decided the post-election violence victims were not important, and you went ahead to rally your support to just the two important gentlemen in the country who apparently are the only ones being unjustly treated by the rest
