Nurses, Doctors and everyone who works in the Hospitals…. Yours is the Calling…

Every morning as I go to work, I pass at least 3 main hospitals and I always remember to ask God to bless the nurses and the doctors and all the people who work in the hospital for the good work they do for us and sometimes you see nurses boarding Matatus (public transport) after their night duties looking very exhausted and that really challenges me. I also remember to thank God even for the medical students who are also in training. That job is a divine calling from God.

Not everyone can operate on someone, that is, cutting someone then going inside to find what is wrong. Not everybody can stand the sight of blood or the sight of a wound. Which you guys have to dress every morning until the wound heals, I hear some wounds are so bad that worms bubble from them yet you guys are okay dressing those wounds. Not everybody can work in the laboratory where you test all manner of nasty things that come from our insides. Not everybody can be a cleaner in the hospital. Not everybody can work in the morgue. That takes the grace of God, the fact that you guys can still go on with life as if it is not a big deal is amazing.

The saddest thing is that we hardly appreciate you and especially when we recover, we abuse you, harass you, call you all manner of bad names, yet we cannot do without you. The government does not even think much of you. Sometimes you only want the Government to provide you with tools of trade like gloves and machines that are operational, since they are always refusing with your salary and they do not think you deserve reasonable remuneration and for that you still have to go on strike. I wonder what is wrong with our priorities. Because even when you go on strike we still cannot understand you are do so for our own safety.

Guys we appreciate the work you do for us. We may not say it but deep down we know we cannot do without you.

It is amazing that you still continue working, even under those harsh conditions. And more are still joining the profession. Yours is truly the calling.

Are Church Leaders Fighting The Condom Or Sex???...

I still cannot understand what the hullabaloo is all about with the condom advert. My view, that advert makes a lot of sense. The makers of the advert are realistic and admitting that married people are having illicit sex or enjoying the forbidden fruits outside of their matrimonial homes. What I construed from the advert is that the woman is not having her nocturnal exercises at home and hence her need to keep a side dish to provide  those essential services. Am sure there are many valid reasons in homes that are driving couples to leave their matrimonial beds. That, I think is what the church leaders should be addressing, not the sheath they choose for protection. We need to know why respectable men/women feel the need to quench their thirst away from home. And the best people to furnish us, with that information is the church leaders because they are the ones who do counseling to these couples. Church leaders should think of how to address the sex subject rathe...

Luo is a Romantic Language…

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...

Masaku sevens ….I hear it was a show to behold….

I have really been thinking a lot about what I hear happened during Masaku 7’s. And mind you though being in Machakos on that day I got home early before all the free live movies started. So I just heard just like some of you. No wonder people say free things are not good. In one way or the other let us be glad it happened now in broad day light the last time Masaku sevens was in Machakos the young people were discreet they did their mating in the darkness where their parents could not see them and the consequences of what happened at night were visible the following morning with the littering of their implements of trade. But this time around I guess all bets were off and behold they threw caution in the air and hence the reason for the daytime movies.                                       ...
