Wananchi

By Anonymous
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

By Nicholas Ochiel
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...

DIY Abortions

By Nicholas Ochiel
I'm not quite sure where I stand with regards to abortion. I'm still trying to figure out why the thought or mention of it forces chills down my spine, a lump into my throat and painful tears into my eyes. My father has often stated that once a woman decides to have an abortion, she will do anything and everything to get rid of the child prior to birth. He therefore advocated for legal and safe abortions to be made available. Initially, I didn't quite understand his argument. Today, however, I agree with him. I was pushed over the cliff by the situation in South Dakota that has prompted women to start considering Do-It-Yourself Abortions ! The potential dangers of this are obvious. A man can easily identify with the horrors of self-circumcision which pale in comparison to self-executed abortions. One thing is certain: Women need to be protected whatever they decide.
