IN WHOSE HANDS ARE WE SAFE!?

Image
Its sad how the Meru culture embarrasses khat "miraa" more than other people's lives.  Most of the youths in Meru most especially the sides of Laare, KK, Mutuati and many other places worship khat because of the value they consider it to have. The other day I visited a place in KK and met a young man whose hands were chopped off by the owner of the khat shamba claiming that the man was stealing and that he decided to chop his hands off. My big question was, is the government not there.? Why are this people taking action in there own hands. In whose are we safe.? I hope the and believe that the government can intervene in this issue and get to take protect the lives of Meru people. After a few weeks too, a lady was amputated her head off, because she tried talking to another man. This was reported in Meru too. The man is out there free roaming around. He is an animal and justice should be served no matter the case. People should stop taking actions for themselves yet there...

JUSTICE FOR THE POOR

  When I interviewed Dr. Lilian Munyua, this is what she said; "Every time I am treating a rape victim especially young girls, it reminds me about a lady I schooled with at Tumutumu Girls High School before I proceeded to KMTC - Nairobi. My friend proceeded to UoN -Main Campus to pursue a Bachelor of Mass Communication degree. Ann was a beautiful brilliant student and had scored straight A's at Tumutumu. Surprisingly, despite her starring performance, she preferred to pursue Media studies as most of us went into the medical profession. I would later meet a dejected Ann at Aga Khan Hospital where I was working before moving to KNHđŸ„. Ann had been drugged and sexually abused (raped) by a Bank Executive who had invited her for a late lunch date. According to Ann, she had met the man severally at Barclays Bank 🏩where he worked and this was their first meeting outside the banking hall. They had lunch in one of the old hotels along Kenyatta Avenue, close to where the gentleman work...

MAJUU MENTALITY

Image
"Majuu" is a sheng' word mostly used by africans which means abroad. In african's mindset, the term "majuu" symbolises success.Travelling abroad seems to be an endearing idea on the beginning  of their journey to success.In reality, when one member of a family gets a job abroad, the whole community is called upon to celebrate. This african's mindset has distorted the virtue of patriotism. According  to the viewpoints and ideas that I acquired from different  sources, it is a clear implication that this statement is largely supported. Diana ; "Yes it is true that when one travels abroad, he or she gets to interact with different  kind of people and able to get opportunities  that enlighten his or her future."  Erick ; " Opportunities  are everywhere  but in "majuu" are more since they look at your skills mostly and not level of education." The  "Majuu" mentality has really  detered  Africans from exploring great opp...

If there was ever an army of people who have suffered in life, and lived to tell the story, Mr. Mathew Aol Nyamlori, would be a Five Star General of that army. This man, whose middle name literally translates to ”I am tired” has pushed the limits of patience, beyond what physicists call the ‘‘limit of elasticity’’ and overcome all conceivable odds to achieve his greatest goal in life; academic excellence. It is the reason why on 23rd July 2021, Mr. Nyamlori, 38, was trending in Kenya. This man literally took over all social media platforms by storm. And he did so for a good reason. On that day, Mr. Nyamlori graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Public Policy and Administration from Kenyatta University in Kenya. Mr. Nyamlori is no stranger to fame. For sometime now, he has been a constant fodder for th...
