In the 90s and early 2000s all campaigns were directed at ‘empowering the women’ Do not get me wrong, women were mistreated and suffered under the tyranny of men and their egos. UNICEF created the International Day of the Girl to help end the circle of violence against adolescent girls. It is celebrated on the 11 th of October annually. Education was the major concern and center of debates, and the United Nations felt that it had serious impacts on human and economic aspects of society. Girls worldwide were forced to cook, clean and do other house hold chores while their male siblings went to school and received care and attention from parents. Girls were seen as a curse while boys were seen as a blessing. Men felt proud having a boy while mistreating the poor mother for having a girl. Something needed to ...

I know many women wonder why men are always willing to fight even to the death because they have been disrespected, it's simply because RESPECT is all we want.  The reason why men have respect for each other and solve conflicts faster and never hold grudges. We respect each other. We do not pry where we are not supposed to and we have secret codes which we all understand. For example in a urinal there are bowls placed next to each other. Instead of going next to where a gentleman is handling his business another man would go to the furthest or to the main toilet, because it is respect. Most women who have discovered this have always found life very easy. If you have noticed your mother championing for human rights but bowing to her husband as she gives him his food, it is not slavery, that woman knows what her husband wants. Of course the Bible expects a w...

As men we have a habit that as long as we provide and come home early to our girlfriends or wives we always think it is the best show of love. We are always somewhat disgusted when a woman says she does not feel loved and has to be told 24 hours a day to feel it. Well in truth the female species need a sense of direction and protection. They need that feel of love. I may not be the love expert but I have noticed that if you give a lady that sense of love she will always be attracted to you. Telling her she is beautiful, remembering her birthday, sending her messages of love, giving her your time, respecting her and listening to her input are the sure fire ways to keep a woman faithful and loyal to a man. It is unfortunate that today men have fallen short of becoming intimate with their partners. We complain when women become difficult and hard...

(Photos courtesy of Google) I believe we have lost our senses as human beings. We have stooped so low and rejected what has made us live in relative peace. So many things are happening today and they create questions in my mind “where did we go wrong?” I had a dream about my old high school days, when I was thinner and looked healthier than I am today. When I felt the need to work hard, because it was the only thing I had left. When I felt like running was a punishment that should have been abolished. When you could walk into the town of Nairobi and feel a sense of calm and tranquility. Then comes the reality today. I left myself loose and became obese, now I have a lump in my stomach and for some strange reason I keep on increasing in size. I don’t feel safe in walking into town, at any time. There are thieves, the police and the terrorists who want to cause fear, pain and havoc. I am now walking with an old phone and the exact amount of fare because I have no idea when I w...

(photos courtesy of Google) I knew this day would come. I had planned and schemed how I would get myself out, but I knew no matter how prepared I was, my reactions would be different. For one I had planned to go after the leader, plan number two, attack the subordinates then go back to wrestling with the leader and making an example for others. How wrong I was. I was coming out of class, tired. The lecturer left early so it was around 7.45 when I reached Nairobi, alighted from the bus and walked to the bus stop, unaware of my fate. As I was walking I saw a girl in a Hijab. She was always borrowing from people passing by the pavement and I had seen and helped her several times. I reached in my pocket and grabbed 30 shillings and put it in her hand. She was grateful and skipped on to the following people. I have questioned myself was it God, thanking me for my generosity? How had I escaped the knife’s edge? As I crossed the busy jam, I was being followed by three gen...
