Ain't I Social?

You say that I am egocentric when we pass each other without me saying Hi. It’s not like you said hi and I failed to respond. What if you said hi and I don’t respond you’ll say I’m arrogant? Didn’t you notice that I had earphones plugged into my ears? The substantial function of the earphones is to tell you that I’m having my time: not that I’m autistic but I just want to be alone. It’s a decoy to say that I don’t want to get into any conversation right now. Remember I’m not a narcissist. Or you come and sit next to me in a matatu heading to Rongai without talking and you expect me to say hi and you can see that I’m glued on my phone’s screen then again you say I’m egocentric! If you need to know, I’m replying to snaps on Snapchat after reading Selena Gomez’s hilarious tweets, double tapping my crush’s every photo on Instagram(although I wasn’t tagged in any) checking out funny Dubsmash soundboards and later reply to all my chats on Whatsapp. These are only five social

Kenyans on Twitter Defence Forces

A new force has emerged. A force that nobody knows the source. A force of made up millions of unknown people joint by one mission, to fight using their fingers. A force that cannot be disturbed. A force that will not be the last to stand even in the wake of retaliation by the self-proclaimed gravity movers. This force will pounce on you and tear you then leave you in tatters. This force has resisted eternal forces from all over the world. CNN can attest the magnitude of this force. In July 2015, The United States media organization referred to Kenya as a “hotbed of terror”, in the context of President Barack Obama’s visit to Kenya. “Obama is not just heading to his father’s homeland, but to a hotbed of terror. Terrorists in East Africa are now posing new worries for the President’s trip to Kenya this week,” the broadcaster reported on its website. The network quickly changed the story from “terror hotbed” to Obama’s “father’s homeland.” This was after #SomeoneTellCNN erupted with t

Perpetual Optimism is a Force Multiplier

An optimistic mind is your treasured assert, invest heavily in it. A robber can rob you of everything apart from your mind. Anyone who writes you off is amnesiac because left to an optimistic mind; you shall transcend all boarders to become a wonder! You are not void and devoid as they think. Their end is your beginning and their full-stop is your comma. Their confusion should not concrete your conclusion. You can fall but don’t stay fallen. Low moments are seasons and not lifestyles. Do stay your mind on victory and keep your guts on the trophy. No matter the dictates of your current situations, there exists in the annals of time your grand manifestation and in the hall of fame your unread story of grandeur, red carpet, a pat on the back. Remember, you are hope, and you become strength and infect courage to people whenever you defy inability and incapacitation.

Rejecting Rejection

  As long as you are reading this, you are a world changer and you carry the potential and incorruptible seeds of perpetual greatness. Make strategic choices that would deliver you to an expected end. Don’t die outside the closed doors of your life; others were opened as you mourned the loss. Don’t lose hope just because the situations say that you are hopeless; defy the odds, reject rejection and command your mind to always have a positive thinking. Whatever is impossible is only what has not been conceived in the womb of a positive thinker who faces no problems but only challenges in their endeavors. No issues, only opportunities. No deadlocks, only the start of something new. No closures, only beginnings. They see a testimony beyond a test and a message beyond a mess! Make up your mind and reject rejection and become a hopeful optimist!!!

The Bus Preacher

This Nairobi struggle has pushed many to the edge and people are now looking for ways to make quick money. Preaching to passengers in bucks is one of the new ways to make money. The ‘buck preaching department work’ is not an easy task. A buck preacher gets into a buck knowing too well of what the passengers think of him, a conman who wants to fish out some coins with a well constructed sermon. In most cases, a preacher carries a bible and a notebook which they hardly use it because they have no pen. A preacher must do anything to convince the already switched off minds corrupted with the fact that he is a conman. What can you preach to over 50 passengers in a buck with different things going on in their minds at that time?? There is a woman who is thinking of what to do after finding out that her husband has been cheating on her with her friend, a man thinking of what his family is going to eat after spending all his money at the bar, a young woman complaining why she doesn’t have an
