Few Kenyans remember that Harambee Stars once beat Morocco 3-1 to qualify for the AfCON. Legendary striker Peter Dawo nicknamed "Rambobutcher" by North African press was named the best African goal getter of his time.

Neymar is tactically a better player than both my favourite Ronaldo and Messi. But with the temperament of Balloteli and attitude of Antonio Cassano the poor sod won't win Brazil the WC.

If a Luo ODM MP was to greet President Ruto like this you and your other murima houseboy (Sifuna) would say a lot of trash.
Humility is strength.

This is Abeti Masikini. I regard her as the best female singer from the Congo. A cut above Mbilia Bel,Tshala Muana and Mpongo Love singers of great repute themselves. I do not know where to place Faya Tess, Nana Akumu and Jolly Detta.

A child who wets the bed is not testing your authority. He or she is asking for your leadership. Do not become the source of your child's shame. Become the source of their confidence. One day, your child will remember how their father handled his or her weakness. Not with anger or humiliation, But with knowledge, patience, structure, and strength. That is what fathers do. They turn childhood struggles into lessons of dignity, resilience, and trust.

You remember the 2023 sufuria movement? Yes Gachagua woke up 3am. Not to do anything else but to splash state machineries on Luos. We were beaten like burukenge, drawn from mabati houses of kondele just so we can be flogged. I have never been an admirer of Ruto but I can never support anything Gachagua has his influence on.

The same people who celebrated when Raila Odinga lost elections on the ballot, lost petitions in the supreme court, lost the battle on the streets and lost legislative bills in parliament are today feeling the heat seeing their son lose in parliament, lose in the streets and now losing in the judiciary. Rigathi Gachagua must make his threats of teaching President William Ruto a lesson in 2027 a reality; failure to that his supporters will cry and wail painfully seeing Ruto back to Statehouse. Acha hivo wanalia juu ya Impeachment; wait until thy see Gachagua himself break down after losing in 2027. Since I was there with Raila twice; hyo kitu ni uchungu sanaa. Thank God Raila Odinga left us in the Broadbased Government; na hatutokii Ng'ooooo.

Did natives rule themselves before Europeans ever set foot in Africa, well, O wasn't there but I believe there was some kind of order. That order was disrespected when whe decided we are going to solve our problems using formulas other nations used for their people.

I have seen a number of treatable mental illnesses cases in Msa and Siaya Misdiagnosed or attributed to witchcraft. Our society has not been very attentive to mental illnesses.
Just watched a a documentary on mental health and the psychiatric hospital Bedlam, England. One guy was getting sectioned, medicated, wrongly diagnosed. Eventually they looked into his history and childhood and release him from the psychiatric hospital and prescribed therapy. Hes doing so much better. External factors, society etc seriously underestimated in mental health.

*BRITISH WRITER PENS THE BEST DESCRIPTION OF TRUMP* Someone asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?" Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response: A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump's limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don't say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it's a fact. He doesn't even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn't just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It's all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don't. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He's not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He's more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless or female – and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy' is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that: • Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and most are. • You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man. This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it's impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

Have you ever wondered why mothers are always suspicious about their sons' kids and not their daughters? All mothers use the same syllabus.

The students arrested in the Utumishi Girls fire case will be tried under Kenya’s juvenile justice system as children in conflict with the law. They will not be tried as adults. They'll prolly get done for manslaughter and get 5 years. Focus will be on rehabilitation, not punishment.

I have a mild suspicion Ruto's second term will focus on correcting historical injustices. Land ones. I also suspect those responsible are aware of this.
