NAIROBI WOES WORSENS

THE FALL OF NAIROBI COUNTY
With the inception of county government in 2013, Kenyans, specifically the over three million nairobians, had extravagant expectations from one man Dr. Evans Kidero who was to be the first inaugural governor taking on an elephantine task of steering the most crucial county housing Kenya's capital and national headquarters. It was an uphill task but albeit with the competence and management proficiency he had, the son of Asumbi was poised to achieve a lot and mitigate Nairobi's problems.

Unfortunately Nairobians are an impatient generation. They wanted everything sorted in one year. What a hypocrisy? Without structures  foundations making remarkabke progress in two years could not only be described as a pipe dream but a daytime reverie. Kidero needed time to achieve transformation of the city. His second term would be a critical opportunity to enable his government execute his ambitious plans after fixing structures and rudimentals,too bad his reelection was rigged.


Ever since Dr. Evans Kidero was robbed of his bid to bring to completion his blue print for Nairobi, Nairobians have been faced with a more pathetic state of affairs courtesy of an  incompetent, not up to snuff half-arsed leadership.

I don't want to think about the mugging in the city centre that has necessitated an Anti-mugging squad, the bodaboda riders fiasco and the return of hawkers on the pavements of the CBD. Am not crying foul over the spate of insecurity at Muthurua and the entire Nairobi county, nor am I pegging the sorry state of insecurity to the newly amorphous Nairobi business community. Though, I believe these people constitute the greatest number of hardcore criminals in Nairobi. In fact they only swing into action only once there is a civil protest

The most intriguing social insecurity upheaval I have seen happened a few days ago in Nairobi. A criminal gang alleged to be The Forty Brothers ambushed some church in industrial area, codoned the area and took charge of the church premises. For over one hour the church was under siege by the 40Brothers(as is alleged).

The worshippers both within the church house(Temple of God), within the compound and those trouping in were frisked of valuables in a rough manner. Once they were done they flee leaving the worshipers counting their trials and tribulations within the holy ground. Should I liken this to the destruction of Jerusalem by emperor Titus or King Nebuchadnezzar in the 6C BC? I don't know.

SAMANTHA THE PERFECT GIRL.

With the emergence of sex dolls for men, Samantha's, the striking difference in men and women interns of sex cannot be overemphasised. Sexuality of men and women are diametrically opposed to each other. Men want sex for physical satisfaction( in most cases) while women want sex for emotional satisfaction. Women give sex to men as a precious gift. A proof of submission and sacrifice. Women undoubtedly believe giving sex is the ultimate show of love. "A man can cheat on his woman and still love her but a woman cannot cheat on her man and still love him. I say this because while men do not have sex with emotions, women can't have sex without attaching emotions to it. This is the reason men simply need a place to have sex while women need a reason to have sex. Most women who take their husbands to court for divorce are those that cheat on their men. A non cheating woman would most likely never take her husband to court for divorce, unless the man exceedingly abuses her ph...

The Reasons for the Rebellion of 1837 in Upper Canada

The Reasons for the Rebellion of 1837 in Upper Canada INTRODUCTION There was neither big revolution nor dependence war in the history of Canada. The Rebellion of 1837 was the first and the only one revolt with certain scale, which occupies an important position in Canada history. In The Rising in French Canada 1837 , Joseph Schull indicates that the Rebellion of 1837 is the mirror of the conflicts among developing national and political philosophy, different life styles. It’s a test for the people and leaders of the country. There were two armed uprisings of 1837 which took place in the lower and Upper Canada respectively. In the lower Canada which was ethnically heterogeneous, comprising both the French and English colonialists; the revolt was due to political ethno-exclusivity. The colonial administration treated the two factions with discrimination. It favored the English colonialists and neglected the voices of the French colonialists. However, in the Upper Canada, t...

ELECTIONS ARE EVIL HENCE THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD

THE TROUBLE WITH KENYAN ELECTIONS The current legal stalemate bedeviling the country can be attributed to reluctance on the part of Kenyan institutions to adhere to the rule of law. The chief culprit is the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission and the government. Jubilee party has merged with the state so that the country is not ruled by the Jubilee government but by the Jubilee party. The party even controlling an independent IEBC This diabolic precedence started way back in 2013 when Jubilee, not in a free and fair manner, rigged their way to statehouse.   The Supreme Court then did not make satisfactory findings, though the petitioner accepted the verdict. Since then the party had been choreographing another rigging scheme. Although democracy entails the decision of the majority to prevail, Jubilee has taken advantage to exercise tyranny. The government rules its own way independent of the wishes of the people. Even annihilating and trampling the law more o...
