I have not yet believed it. The untimely death of my innermost friend, innermost neighbor, school mate at kakimanyi primary school, desk mate at Bukunja ngabo primary school and desk mate at st Michael wamalwa kakimanyi form two and form three. A very humble man, very approachable problem solver, very gentle man, very secretive, a go gater and a giver but not a taker. I have lost another person whom I had planned secretly to work with towards my future journey in the political blue and white clouds.I had already preferred to walk with him in ups and downs in few days to come.You have left a very big gap in the bodering clans and villages of Bayumbu.May he Rest in peace.

AFRICA.
Be one of the people transforming Africa. Don't be one of those trying very hard to retrograde Africa.
Africa is a continent rich in history, culture, and diversity. From the ancient civilizations of Egypt and Ethiopia to the colonial era and struggles for independence, Africa's history is a tapestry of triumphs, challenges, and resilience.
The history of Africa dates back thousands of years, with evidence of early human ancestors found in regions such as the Great Rift Valley. Ancient civilizations like the Kingdom of Kush, the Mali Empire, and the Kingdom of Aksum flourished, leaving behind impressive architectural wonders and cultural legacies that continue to inspire awe today.
The continent's history was forever changed with the arrival of European colonizers in the 15th century. The scramble for Africa led to the exploitation of its resources, the imposition of colonial rule, and the devastating effects of the transatlantic slave trade. Despite these challenges, African nations fought for independence in the 20th century, leading to the birth of new nations and the struggle for self-determination.
Today, Africa is a continent on the rise, with a vibrant cultural scene, economic growth, and a young population driving innovation and change. As the cradle of humanity, Africa's history is a testament to the resilience and strength of its people, and a reminder of the rich tapestry of cultures and traditions that make the continent a truly unique and diverse place.

STORY STORY
WHY CHICKEN LIVE WITH PEOPLE
1. A very long time ago, chickens were wild. They lived in the bush just like other birds and animals. Mr. C**k was the proudest of all. All the other birds and animals were afraid of Mr. C**k because he said that his comb was made of fire. Any animal who did not obey him might have been burnt.
2. One evening, Mother Leopard came home late. She wanted to cook some food for her children. When she went to the kitchen, she found that the fire had gone out. She sent her children to the chicken-house. She wanted them to ask the c**k for some fire from his comb. She told them to go without a moment's delay because she wanted to cook their food before six o'clock. Her children were afraid to go to the chicken-house. They were afraid of Mr. C**k. If they ever made him angry, they might be burnt. But their mother had told them what to do. They had to obey her.
3. When they reached the chicken-house, all the chickens were asleep. Even Mr. C**k was asleep. The leopard children didn't know what to do. They didn't know how to get the fire. They decided to go back home and tell their mother what had happened.
4. When Mother Leopard heard this story, she gathered some of the dry grass which was near the house. She went back to the chicken-house with her children. She wanted to steal some fire from Mr. C**k's comb. Mr. C**k was asleep when Mother Leopard arrived. Mother Leopard quietly put the dry grass very near Mr. C**k's comb. She thought the grass would catch fire. But it wouldn't burn. Was his comb really made of fire 🔥🔥? Mother Leopard decided to find out. She touched his comb. Then her children also touched his comb. It was very cold. They knew that Mr. C**k could not burn them. All the leopard family began to laugh. The chickens awoke and so did Mr. C**k. He started to shout at them. He turned his comb towards them. He said, "You should run away. Aren't you afraid?
5. Mother Leopard said, "We've touched your comb and we know about your trick! We aren't afraid of your trick now. We'll go back and call all the other animals. We'll tell them about your trick and you'll be killed."
6. The chickens were afraid. Mr. C**k and all the other chickens ran away. They went to the house of a man and asked him for help and food. Since that time, chickens have lived with people. Whenever they see a leopard, they run away.

🏹 KAMAGAMBO CLAN

Kamagambo people trace their origin from Trans Mara triangle and are descendants of Kimbaba the son of Thunya. They are a clan of the Girango or Abagirango section of the Luo speakers. The morpheme "aba" also "abanto ba" means "people of". The present day Rongo District in the South Nyanza Province is mainly inhabited by the Kamagambo clan. The traditions maintain that the Kamagambo ancestors came from Migori River in the Trans Mara triangle, now in Tanzania. And having escaped wars at Sori Bay areas, they settled around what is today known as Mbita Township.

The ancestoral father of the Kamagambo clan, Kimbaba, first settled in the Gembe hills with the Kasgunga people but later abandoned the place and migrated to Homa Bay areas. They continued with their journey up to Marindi and from there they went to the present Rongo District. However, another group first sojourned among the Konyango clan in a place called Kabuoch.

In their expansion, the Kamagambo pushed the Gusii to the north and Karachuonyo who in turn pushed back other groups. They also fought with the Konyango clan and Maasai tribesmen. In fact, the Kamagambo drove away the minority Maasai sections whom they found occupying the land. The war was successful for the Kamagambo people because of the magic they used against the enemies. And it is a clear indication that before Europeans came the Kamagambo people were under the leadership of magicians.

The Kamagambo people lived near the Maasai border with the Luo, and therefore, some of them began to speak the Maa dialect. Moreover, a section of them were absorbed into Maasai ethnicity. Those who joined the Maasai became known as Alburugo. Hitherto the Kamagambo people spoke Girango language commonly known today as Kisuba, which is a sister language to Ekegusii and Igikuria languages. In their tradition they maintain that the branch of them that started to speak Luo were those who went to Konyango, and married Jaramogi Luo daughters. And it was due to Jaramogi Luo influence that they later abandoned Girango customs.

In real sense, the Kamagambo are somehow a section of the present Utegi clan since Kaimbaga or Kimbaba son of Thunya, the son of Tegi, is the ancestral father of Kamagambo people. The other sons of Thunya were Marwa and Gogo who founded the present Utegi clan together with the other three sons of Tegi (Sigiria, Sebe and Beri—the brothers of Thunya). Kaimbaga first settled among the Kiseru people where he married his wife Magambo, the sister of Kigunga. Kigunga is the ancestor of the present Kasgunga clan, hence Kamagambo people do not intermarry with the Kasgunga clan of the Kiseru section because they are blood relations.

The Kamagambo clan are comprised of two main sub-clans, namely: the Kanyawanga and the Kamwango. The former are well distributed in all parts of Rongo District, while the latter are mainly based in the settlement of North Rongo. In fact, the Kanyawanga sub-clan which is the largest of the two is composed of various small clans like the Kamtue, Kamreri, Kadhudha, Kawino and Kamsumba who are collectively called Kanyamamba; the Kangeso or Wagesi; and the Kanyandiga (Kongudi, Kongoma, Koluoch, Kabuoro, Kagoro and Kanyadieto). The Kanyandiga people who traditionally live in the West, North and Central Rongo settlements form the majority of Kamagambo people today.

WAKUNE & SIMBUCHI PEOPLE

Bunyala has two distinct groups: Abanyala on one hand and Abakhone on the other. All these groups considered Abakhone to be the earliest inhabitants of the area. After the Abanyala had defeated the Abakhone during the war of Esiadikho in 1800, the latter adopted the name Abanyala but they are scattered in other parts of Western. The late Cardinal Maurice Otunga is one of the prominent Abakhone.

The abakhone clan used to be people with mysterious powers. Even in war, their warriors war charms of mystery that made them look like giants to the enemies. Their army of unmarried men was brave and daring. They believed that not even the combination of all the clans of Banyala could manage their military. In the end, the Abanyala managed Abakhone, a very powerful clan which used to terrorize them and other clans (hence the name Aba-Nyala).

After the Abanyala had defeated the Abakhone during the war, some crossed through Lake Victoria and settled among the Abagusii where they are called Abanyakoni, the clan of Justice Maraga. Those who settled in Homa Bay call themselves Bakone.

The Bakone who later migrated into North Mara Region among the Abasimbuchi are today known as Irienyi people, and they maintain that they came from Suna Migori. "Irienyi" means in Ekiirienyi language, could it be that they chose to call themselves "Wairienyi" (southerners) in reference to Homa Bay where they first settled.

Meanwhile, the Abasimbuchi are descendants of a great legendary man called Simbuchi. He was a Maasai man who got assimilated into Bantu around Mt Elgon areas. The Jo-Wagalo people in Bondo are cousins of the Simbuchi. The Abasimbuchi today speak Kuria dialect and see themselves as Suba people. Could it be that Abasimbuchi today distorted as Abasimbiti only to relate them with Suba? See less

WHAT MEN NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WOMEN
1. Women fall in love through a man's words, they stay in love because of his actions.
2. They find it a turn off when a strange man uses intimate names like "Dear", "Sweetheart", "Love" on them. He might think saying so impresses her, but to her she finds it cheap, that he uses those intimate names on any random lady.
3. Before you tell her "I love you", be sure you know the meaning, depth, weight and responsibility of those words
4. She loves to be slowly unveiled, don't push or rush her
5. Even though her heart believes in love, she needs convincing as to why she should love. It is up to you to call her heart out from hiding
6. Awaken love in her only if you are serious
7. Honesty is key, tell her the truth no matter how painful or difficult it is to bear, she will love and trust you more for it.
8. Women think of s*x too, but it is a side of her preserved for her special man
9. Women love attention, the moment she notices you don't give her attention, she reads that as things falling apart between you two.
10. The best gift you can give a woman is your time. You can buy expensive gifts but if you rob her you, the expensive gifts mean little to her. Her indicator of love is your time.
11. Every woman wishes her man would confide in her but often women find men to be guarded and she feels helpless on how to get to him. Share with her your troubles, fears and hopes; she wants you to need her.
12. There is a difference between love and being in love. Loving you is her personal choice, being in love with you is dependent on how good you treat her and excite her.
13. When you keep secrets you make her insecure. The easiest way to make her feel safe and secure is by empowering her with information. Let her know your friends, your schedule for the day, alert her when you will be busy and not able to talk or meet and she will understand.
14. It is one thing to say you love her, it is another thing to make her feel loved. Too many men claim to love their women but their women don't feel loved. As the saying goes "Justice must not only be done, justice must be seen to be done", in the same way, do things that make her feel loved.
15. It is your duty to make her feel s*xy by how you desire her. She feels s*xy when you are hungry for her, when you look at her and how you talk to her. If she doesn't feel s*xy, you have failed.
16. Women make love with their heart, treat her heart well and your marriage will have an exciting s*xlife. She is eager to drive you crazy. Treat her well outside the bedroom and in the bedroom she'll be on fire.
17. It will hurt her if she receives more compliments, admiration and respect from other men than she does from you.
18. Outside the house, she will dress in a s*xy and beautiful way, not because she wants the attention of other men but because you make her feel s*xy and beautiful.
19. An insecure man is a turn off. She is with you and no one else. Relax; other men want her from a distance but you have her up close and personal for life.
20. A faithful and confident man is very attractive.
21. Not every woman is the same. Know your woman, don't think she is like your ex, a celebrity, the stuff you read in magazines and blogs, or what you see in movies.
22. Sometimes all a woman needs is you to listen. She will open up to you, not because she wants you to give her direction and advise but so that she can vent. You don't always have to have answers for everything, just listen.
23. If you break up with her tell her why. Women love closure, don't just disappear.
24. A woman loves with her all, and before her relationship/marriage to the man she loves ends, she will give her all. Fight for your love with her, she can't salvage the love alone.
25. Many times she has been unappreciated and suppressed. As a man, do the opposite, appreciate her efforts, support her and build her.
26. Don't change for the worse from the good man she fell in love with. Consistency is very important to her
27. Just a simple and short phonecall from her man to check up on her or tell her he loves her makes her smile all day. She never gets tired of hearing "I love you" from the man she loves
28. Women are generally calm, loving and peaceful; they get defensive, combative and bitter when pushed to the wall and betrayed. Don't cause her to be defensive, combative and bitter.
29. If perhaps her ex taught her pain, it is your role to make her unlearn old lessons and teach her love.
30. Eye contact and physical touch makes her feel special. Don't rob her these
31. Love her in public the same way you love her in private.
32. Being loved by a woman is a blessing, she will come into a man's life and bring increase, favour, beauty and life transformation; only if you treat her right.

LAWS OF FARMING
1. Never use 100% chemical fertilizers that's madness blend your chemical fertilizers with organic fertilizers, chemical fertilizers alone will gradually kill your soil as it also has life like any other living things, let's organize the knowledge acquired from schools and put it to work, because without that our education is nothing it means we spent all that time and money for nothing, basics of agriculture, soil has life for us to benefit from it we need to feed it with organic matters, we can never depend on chemicals, as soil is organic, and it needs food for microorganisms movement which we can not get from chemical fertilizers
Never target peak seasons, peak seasons come with their own challenges. Be a farmer not a gambler.
2. Choose at least two main crops and a rotational crop plan. Jumping from one crop to another is not right to your pocket.
3. Plan your farm and always have the crops at different age stages, to ensure constant supply.
4. No crop that is not profitable, just master the pro and cons of a particular crop.
5. Having a lot of money is not a licence to successful farming.
6. Have a spray and fertilizer plan and stick to it.
7. There are four important decisions that farmers should make when it comes to choosing fertiliser.
First, fertiliser is chosen depending on the soil type. For sandy soils, NPK fertiliser works better than DAP. Farmers should also buy the right amount of fertiliser. The amount will depend on the recommended nutrient application rates, the target yield, the size of the farm, and the nutrient concentration of fertiliser selected, with Chemical fertilizers alone the highest yields per acre is 35 to 50 bags if you apply accordingly.

SLAV£RY OF MEN BY WOMEN*
Every Man irrespective of who they are must read the book by a German writer Esther Villar In her book "The Manipulated Man"
This book has caused outrage and *hostile criticism* from women, it explains how women since the earliest times have manipulated men and turned them into their slaves, they have *pretended* to be the oppressed s.£¥ while in the real sense they are the oppressors.
She explains how a woman manipulates a man skillfully by steps like *courtship* and finally *marriage* , hence the saying “ *a man chases a woman until SHE catches him”* .
In her book she explains how the man is *tricked* to care for the woman all his life and her offspring.
He rolls the stone like *Sisyphus* and in turn gets rewarded by a few minutes of s£xual pleasure.
We can, by observing Esther Villars assertions that a man is a slave of his desires and the woman uses and has used it for thousands of years as a stick and carrot to keep the man chasing vanity and commit his life to serving her.
She goes ahead to explain the *rivalry of women* , how each woman feels the powerful urge and need to own a male for herself.
Like a *sl@ve owner* she detests any move the man would make to offer his services to another woman. She uses all means to keep the man to herself and her offspring alone.
Esther Villar's sentiments are captured by Nigerian Poet, critic and writer, Chinweizu Ibekwe in his book, “The Anatomy of Female Power” (AFP) and Will Farrel's, “The Predatory Female”.
They all push the theory that all societies are matriarchal and not patriarchal as we are pushed and forced to believe. *Matriarchy has ruled not through brawn but wits and tricks;* women feigning weakness to be protected etc. Thus the male becomes the most exploited s.£¥ in human history, (in wars the man is always ready to die for the woman; he has been trained to do that).
Chinweizu calls the idea of *dating* and *courtship* , *training*, like that of a horse. It is during this time that a woman having kept the man on a leash by denying him s.£¥ and getting him addicted to her by false charms, trains and breaks him to whatever she wants him to become.
The marriage celebration becomes a celebration for the *woman and her friends,* and they all congratulate her for having succeeded in getting herself a *slave* .
A man on that *wedding* day waves goodbye to his independence and his coalition of males and commits himself to a *Sisyphean* life, rolling the stone, an act he cannot abandon having *society* and the *government* checking on him and always ready to *jail* , *shame* or *exile* him for absconding his duties of slavery.
Thus the government and society helps the woman in keeping her *slave*(man) in check.
Chinweizu gives a narration of how women are trained by older matriarchs to *tame* men. He explains how a man is trained to rely on women by his own mother.
A man is *shamed for cooking* for himself and other domestic chores by his *own mother* who is an agent of the global matriarchal rule.
By getting the man to hate *domestic* works and having it enforced by culture which warns men against going into the kitchen, doing *laundry* etc.
The mother trains his son for the woman who will captivate him and when the time comes she takes hold of the man's stomach and by getting the man addicted to her body she holds him by the two, in *bed* and in the *kitchen* .
With those two weapons she manipulates the man and turns him into her plaything.
In the “Myth of the Male Power”, Esther Villar's “A Man's Right to the Other Woman”; “The Polygamous S£¥”, the authors of those books challenge the narrative that men oppress women, and by detailed research across African, Western and Eastern both in ancient and modern societies, the authors unravel the hidden power of the ruthless matriarchal power that rules the world.
Also Helen E. Fisher did anthropological research of ancient human societies and wrote the book "The S.£¥ Contract, The evolution of human behaviour" 1982. She too came to the conclusion that Marriage is a selfish creation of a Woman, where she uses s£¥ to manipulate a man to take care of her and her offspring. Other male animals do not carry the same burden and responsibility.
*Presidents* , *Emperors* and *Kings* are all puppets of the matriarchy forces that rule the World by pulling the strings from behind the curtains
A noble piece which is a must read for every Man under the globe...

God is slows revealing something that I have been searching for a long time
He continued exploring the basement and found a padlocked door. He used the key and the door opened, revealing a secret room. Inside, he discovered ancient documents that told a dark history of the Ramírez family. It turned out that the family's ancestors had practiced dark rituals to gain wealth and power, and the consequences of those acts haunted them to the present.
The documents also revealed that Roberto, Elena's husband, had attempted to reverse the effects of the rituals, but had failed, leading them to a desperate situation. In the last attempt to save his family, he had summoned an ancient and powerful force, without realizing the terrible consequences.
Alejandro left the basement with a sense of urgency. He needed to find the mysterious figure with the scar and get more answers. Determined to confront him, he returned to the mansion the following night, when the atmosphere became even more ominous.
The storm continued, and thunder rumbled in the distance. Alejandro explored every corner of the mansion until he finally found the man in the attic, surrounded by old artifacts and mystical symbols. This time, the man did not try to escape.
"You have discovered the truth," the man said. "But you still don't understand everything. The Ramírez family is trapped between two worlds due to the mistakes of their ancestors. Only someone with your determination can free them."
The man explained that the only way to break the curse was to perform a ritual at the basement altar, using the family's personal objects and saying the correct words. Alejandro, although skeptical, knew he had no other option if he wanted to solve the case.
They returned to the basement together and began the ritual. As they did so, the atmosphere became heavier and darker. The symbols on the walls seemed to shine with a light of their own, and Alejandro felt a presence watching him. Finally, as he spoke the last words of the ritual, a blinding light filled the room.
When the light faded, Alejandro found himself alone in the basement. The photographs and personal belongings were gone, and the gloomy atmosphere had dissipated. He left the mansion with a sense of relief, knowing that he had managed to free the Ramírez family from their tragic fate.
