THE GADDAFI NO ONE WILL TELL YOU ABOUT
» ‎ Mwangy's Musings

This is a post borrowed from one Moreno K O’campo first published on Friday, October 21, 2011 at 1:13pm at an unknown platform but the information is the most shocking about Libyan life that I have read. Here it goes: The media has successfully painted Gaddafi as a hard-core dictator, tyrant whatever you want to

I dont like bullies much , they tend to not be very smart or as tough as they imagine they are. The somali militia that go under the gangsta like name of al-shabab tend to act like a bunch of bullies that didnt get enough hugs from their mommas. They banned, radio, music, bras and

I avoid writing about personalities because I believe it is judgmental to claim to know what makes a person tick and to try to condense a persons actions, beliefs, and values into a couple of paragraphs. I don’t think its fair unless its a factual piece so I do not do it. Prof. Wangari Muta

If you went to the regular boarding schools upcountry like myself during your primary/high school life then I know one item that was close to your heart for the four years and after. Its an age old food that was eaten by everyone from Jesus to the Egyptians and Mwangi as he writes this. A loaf of

Ordinary Kenyan
» ‎ Mwangy's Musings

I have always wondered what this statement means. I mean what constitutes normal? Hardship? Hunger? Enduring sense of hopelessness? Those with the sense that the system is taking advantage of them? Perennial rule breakers and late for everything including their weddings and funerals? There is nothing normal about anyone I know. We all have our eccentricities and very

Xenophobia according to wikipedia is defined as an unreasonable fear or hatred of foreigners or strangers or of that which foreign or strange. It is becoming rather prevalent around these parts of late what with the influx of refugees and all sorts of nationalities dropping in to do business. The general mood is that there

I take great offence when taken for a complete moron especially by foreigners who think throwing around words like server and electromagnetic waves will throw me offguard and mesmerize me. Two australian guys were today on the news claiming they can control rain clouds using servers and beaming electromagnetic waves to the clouds and shepherd

As we say in slang iko watu wamelalia maskio. Kenyan/east african artistes are doing themselves a major disservice and they dont seem aware of it.

When it comes to ‘development’ there is always a loser

Basically the new developers decided in such a neighbourhood, Coca-cola kisoks are unbecoming to the residents. I doubt the (current) residents were asked though.The kiosks were directly opposite the gate of the new development. Security was the choice reason to evict them. Now a mother has lost a means of livelihood. I know this is

Ever since mid 2010, Safaricom has been selling a plethora of android based handsets most of them unlocked and at subsidized rates. The latest handset to be pimped to the populace is the Huawei ideos retailing at 8499/- bundled with 1000/- airtime and 600MB of data. A good deal anyway you splice it.
