Wananchi

I was in a mat this morning, listening to Kiss. They had Sir Edward Clay, the outgoing British High Commissioner, as a guest and wananchi are asked to call in with any messages or questions they have for Clay.

This guy calls in and says he doesn't want Clay to leave, he wants him to be the MP for Kapenguria! I was livid. What is it that makes Kenyans look outside for help instead of trying to solve our problems ourselfs? All you have to do is listen to News anytime something happens to the ordinary mwanchi whose boat sunk in the lake, whose roof caved in, whose house got submerged due to heavy rains and they all start the same 'tungetaka serikali itusaidie...' even though they should know from experience that the serikali has never helped any ordinary mwanchi!!

Clay is a zungs and he's not even a citizen which you at least need to be to qualify as MP!

Uuuuurrghh!!!

I definitely share your disgust.

I find it really depressing that Kenyans tend to have that let-someone-else-save-me-from-myself syndrome. The more we take responsibility for the reality we have the more power we have over it.

Therein lies our ability to change our country for the better. If more Kenyans realized what you, Lesaan, have, we'll witness a meteoric rise in our lives and our place on the global map...

So what are we angry about... the government, 60 year old Clay, wananchi , the radio for bringing such vibe to our ears or ourselves?

What can be done to alleviate our anguish and pave the path forward?

We have many programs- crossfire, many other forums where people curse about the atrocities commited to us...

People share views.
Temperatures rise.
Emotions tense the air
breathe fire
Others get beaten
Others beat...

Tomorrow is another day.
SSDD.

I admire what MM said - Do your work and do it diligently. That's how you make a difference.

How To Make A Woman Do Anything In Bed

When Paul sent me this, I was a bit nervous about posting it. However, it's simply too good to keep to myself. Enjoy his wisdom. I love porn. I'm a man. Of course I love porn. When I watch Briana Banks , Jenna Jameson or Flick Shagwell do their thing, I can't help but wish that my girlfriend would be as freaky, playing with toys, sloppy blow jobs, anal craziness and experimenting with hard core bedroom games. In my first couple of relationships, I would suffer in silence. Sure, I was having plenty of sex but no one could come close to my favourite porn stars. The good news is that with age comes experience. I've learned how to turn every woman I sleep with into a bona fide porn star . These days, even the most frigid, conservative and church going women end up turning into raging nymphomaniacs. ( I'm assuming you already have a woman you can use this on. This article won't tell you how to actually get a woman. ) Your wife is a porn star T...

Men who cheat sucessfully and repeatedly

Are smoother and their discourse is finer because it has been tried, tested and stamped a bill of good health Their sex is obviously better; they get ideas from various women which they are only too eager to share with their spouses They do not waste trying to gratify their unquenchable need for sex from just their women; their spouses are free and happier. They present a more exciting package since they come with new surprises of tricks and tips they learn and keep learning from various other women. They keep themselves in hot form, physically, mentally or/and otherwise. Since there are many judges who are continuously assessing and grading them. They are not jealous since they understand the boredom monotony generates, and in the event their spouses cheat on them in return... they understand. They will not leave their spouses for such an understandable act based on the circumstances. Their spouses are free to explore sexual adventures and still know That there is someone to do the se...
