WHY MOST MARRIEGES WHERE THE WOMAN IS OLDER LASTS.

Although Kenya boasts a low divorce rate compared to neighbouring countries which has double it's prevalent rates, the dwindling rates cannot be felt on the ground. Most marriages still end up on the rocks. The Bible gives no room to divorce except for situations where unfaithfulness is irreparable.

With about 15% divorce rate, Kenya's successful marriage relationships are credited to women marrying at a much latter date than normal.The McGill university study published in December 2016, which came up with the 15% rate, attributes the unbroken marriages to education among other things which compel women to marry late in life.

At such later age the women are not distracted in their commitment in relationships. It is all they want and are more objective and determined to keep the marriages. They work towards keeping and building the marriages apart from going out of their way to cure differences.

Another possible reason is the maturity factor. Most women tend to pursue success and education and carreers before settling down. After achieving these ambitions, women are normally aged and hence does not attract many potential suitors. They end up being sponsors and mafissilet, preying on jobless young men who are seeking easy life.

Since they are more mature than these young men, they control their marriages and as such have no ingredients for disagreement, conflict and misunderstandings. They pull the shots. They are the decision makers and the young men who enter with them in relationships are like mere puppets, who just dance to the tune they sing.

Today for smooth harmonious marriages, it is mostly the union of a Sugar mummy and a sugarboy. So long as the woman is footing all the bills the relationship will subsist because the man will be compelled to toe the line she draws.

True to the fact, women who enter into marriage before achieving their goals like education and career normally find it hard to juggle ambition and marriage life. As a result most relationships break because of overexpectation. Naturally men prefer a woman who spends more time at home tending to the kids and the house. A responsibility the modern woman has left to the housemaids or managers. So much that the house girls themselves steal the husband's and thereby breaking the families.

A FEW PICKS ABOUT VALENTINE AND BROKEN HEARTS.

I have been following on Valentine's day heartbreaking escapades of what sacrifices guys made for the sake of love, and am left in a reality limbo. The question that rings in my mind is is if indeed love exists? A man braced himself for a two year jail term sentence for an offence which was perpetrated by his lover. Sadly the girl who stole from her father a good amount of money went ahead to incriminate her husband after they had agreed the husband would come in to stand in for his wife in prison. By the time the guy was released from incarceration his love had left him. In a separate incidence a lady boycotted their wedding, broke a relationship two days to the wedding, fled and eloped with a white German man. It happened that two days to the wedding, one of the brides maid called the groom who was far from the wedding venue, telling him the wedding was bound not to be. The groom got concerned,,travelled down south to interrogate the issue one on one. When he found the bride,...

ARE YOU READY FOR THE FUTURE: BY ANONYMOUS

This piece is not my article. It has anonymous author. In 1998, Kodak had 170,000 employees and sold 85% of all photo paper worldwide.  Within just a few years, their business model disappeared and they went bankrupt. Interestingly the inventor of digital photography in 1975  Steven Sasson worked for Kodak but Kodak ignored the new technology and in the process ignored their future!! What happened to Kodak will happen in a lot of industries in the next 10 years - and most people don't see it coming. Did you think in 1998 that 3 years later you would never take pictures on paper film again? Yet digital cameras were invented in 1975. The first ones only had 10,000 pixels, but followed Moore's law. So as with all exponential technologies, it was a disappointment for a long time, before it became way superior and got mainstream in only a few short years. It will now happen with Artificial Intelligence, health, autonomous and electric cars, education, 3D printing, agricult...

THE STRUGGLE OF THE LUO NATION.

HOW THE LUO MANTLE NEVER SAW THE LIGHT OF DAY Although, Thomas Joseph Odhiambo Mboya was never among the Kapenguria six or the prominent Mau-mau fighters, who were passionate to defend their ancestral land to the last drop of their blood; he played the most fundamental role in the clamor for Kenya’s independence. His was an epic monumental activism that must have been the invisible force which pushed the imperialists to full conviction to relinquish African land.   The Kapenguria six were arrested by the colonial government as the luminaries of the Mau mau rebellion, and were incarcerated in Kapenguria for 9 years. Among the six was Ramogi Achieng Oneko. Who was born in Tienga village Uyoma sublocation, the year 1920. Alongside other Mau-mau fighters he is credited with the invincible feat of Kenyas independence in 1963, through his critical role in their uprising. The then prime minister, Jomo Kenyatta appointed him to the portfolio of minister for information, broadcas...
