50 Stories

(Photo Source: visionsfcu.org/images/50_Member_Stories_Logo_1-16)

Well it has been 50 stories. I was not sure what would happen when I started this blog in 2013. I just wanted a place where I could write stories and save them, plus have some people to read. So far I have been able to write many exciting and sometimes sad stories and the number of readership has really impressed me.

As I am writing now I have had as many as 1300 viewers and readers who have gone through my stories. My biggest reader base has been in Kenya and the United States. However I have had people as far as Chile, Romania, Germany, Russia, France, Ukraine, Canada, Mexico, Spain, Brazil, The United Kingdom and Poland going through my stories. I am truly thankful.

I also appreciate my friends Linda and George who have supported me and challenged me to write these stories. I am also thankful to one of my former lecturers, Dr. Larry Ndivo, who encouraged me to start a blog  and put my stories.

The story that has had the most views is the one where I talk of my love for dub step. It has had over 350 views. That is amazing.

Thank you, thank you all. I appreciate the support

Long Way from home

(Photo Source: Common dreams website) Jadim is a refugee. That is what the international organizations call her. The country hosting her is expected to feed her, protect her and make sure she is comfortable until her home country has some amount of peace. She gets ‘aid’ in terms of food, clothes, a blanket and a shelter. She has a right to get them. Moreover she is now pregnant, so she is feeding for two people. She sees people coming in and out, she heard they are called donors. Every time she sees the stream of vehicles she has to ensure her shelter is clean and she puts on a smile. They are the ones responsible for her stay there and they need to feel they are doing something. It also means extra rations that day, so of course she will put on her best smile. Jadim has lived in the camp for 2 years now.  Despite  all the niceties mentioned above, she constantly feels she was better at home, but since she lost her husband and two children to the war, she decid...

Why an antagonist is important to a story

  (Made on Canva) Who is an antagonist? An antagonist is the villain of a story. It can be a human being, a natural phenomenon like a hurricane, a disease, an animal, an idea or a fictional character like a dinosaur. The aim of the antagonist is to create chaos and wreak havoc while creating obstacles for the protagonist (hero). The protagonist has to find a solution to the uncomfortable situation caused by the antagonist. In story-telling, the antagonist propels the story forward by creating an inciting incident that forces the protagonist to go on a journey to remedy the situation and restore balance. In the Dark Knight (2008), the Joker creates chaotic situations in the city of Gotham with the aim of killing the Batman. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thanos is looking for rings that will give him ultimate power and make him the supreme being of the universe. Why are antagonists not popular? Being an antagonist is not very appealing, especially in the acting business b...

Mentor-ship and Africa

(Marcbombenon Website) In stories told, before Africa was divided into colonies, the elders trained and taught the young ones about life. They were taught how to speak, how to act and how they were meant to live. The elders mentored the young ones and then left them on their own to mentor others. The cycle of  mentor-ship  continued on for generations and the culture, history and traditions of most African communities were kept. Unfortunately when the colonial masters came, Africans were forced to reject the traditional ways and adopted the ‘civilized manner’ of living. I have no arguments or bitterness towards that, and I do not think we should go back to “The African way of life”, rather embrace it and encompass it in our daily living.  Mentor-ship , to me, is what is making Africa drag its feet in the race towards incorporation into the global space. Today Africans are greedy and selfish. We have been given the mark of being  among  the...
