Can you believe it folks? Just like that we are halfway through the year. I am yet to use the Nairobi expressway but I bet the year 2022 has been using the longest expressway in Africa since day 1 of 365. May and June have been rough months for me as I have been under […]

Billed as the “Fight of the Century”, was about five years overdue. Still, that did not kill the frenzy of the grand showdown which took place at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, May 2, 2015. Considering the level of publicity the boxing match received, lack of private jet p...

I first mentioned David M. Grimm here. We enrolled in the same campus at different times, but graduated at the same time. The bespectacled chap studied Print Media meaning he is a writer by profession. I reached out to him, while we were still in school, after being reliably informed that he possess...

Its amazing how long childhood friendships can last. I’ve known my brother MZelo for close to two decades now. When you’ve gotten to know someone for that long the title, “friend” becomes inappropriate. Our brotherhood was conceived in the neighborhood and has stood the test of time. Like me...

This is Manchester United football club, this is the theatre of dreams. — Sir Bobby Charlton — In June 2002, Carlos Queiroz who’d managed Portugal, South Africa and Sporting CP, arrived at Old Trafford to become Ferguson’s new assistant. During his first tenure at the position, the Portugues...

In case you’re new here, I am a counselling psychologist by profession. I am equally passionate about the social science as I am about art. Matter of fact, I purposely switched majors halfway through uni to study the human psyche, but that’s a story for another day. Today, I want to share with y...

How do I approach her? This is the instinctive question which storms into a many a man’s mind when they spot a beautiful lady. Since time immemorial a man has always been defined by his achievements and success. The ability to successfully woo the daughters of Eve is as rare as it is precious; it ...

I don’t know about you, but I am a dreamer. Every year I set unrealistic goals for myself which force me to hold myself to the highest standard. Always, I fall short of my target, which totally sucks, but in the grand scheme things I make significant progress; in reaching for the sky, I land […]

I’ll be honest, I was initially reluctant about posting in December. Expecting people to indulge you in the last month of the year is like trying to hold a serious conversation with a drunk at a night club which plays loud music. So relax, this certainly won’t take long. This time last year, I c...

At the core of every man is his ego. Tear a man to shreds and on the last strand of his flesh you’ll find his ego hanging by a whisker. “Great men have great egos; maybe that’s what makes them great.” —Paul Arden There a lot of things that constitute the male ego but they’re […]

I was officially called back to school after serving a three week suspension. This time I showed up accompanied by my parent. The night before, my father came home with a branch stick. The fact that he had gone through the trouble of cutting a branch from a tree was the surest sign of his […]

Since my premature return home, I always made sure to be out of sight. When the good news came on during the prime time bulletin, I was quickly summoned you’d think our house was burning down. Education matters headlined that day’s news bulletin and panel discussions. This was in line with the f...

The start of the past decade was a tough year for me. It felt like I was an accident waiting to happen. By the end of the first quarter of the year, I had been indefinitely suspended from school. Which is a polite way of saying expelled. Truth is, I shouldn’t have attended that school […]

As Su***de Prevention Awareness Month comes to an end, here is a mental health piece I wrote a while back. *** Damn I hate being sober. No, those are not my words. They are lyrics to one of Chief Keef’s hits. In the song, he represents the sentiments of most campus students. When was the […]

As a writer, my ears instinctively perk up like a greyhound at the slightest mention of literature. Conversations about prose and poetry and drama are mellifluous. Now try to imagine how I feel when I come across a lady who shares the same conviction.   Her: Hey, I finally pushed myself to write so...

2010. WATTBA. Football finally came home. The world cup was being staged on African soil for the first time in history. It was so surreal. It didn’t matter what nation was hosting it, the time zones were so close you’d think the sporting event was being held at your next door neighbor’s place....

It would be imprudent of me to go on without talking about the company that took a chance on me. Let’s be clear, I am not writing about this company simply because they paid me. Money can indeed buy happiness but I do not worship it. I only worship Yahweh. For Yahweh’s creation, the bags […]
