It comes a time when desperation forces a human being to act like a fool. This comes in when everything that seemed to be in place disarranges itself into chaotic ends.

Politics in Kenya has been marred with betrayal and mending of ties. It is not a wonder how this is being weighed with acute concerns. Others political elites giving warnings that Uhuru's ethnic group has to repay Rift Valley votes.

In Kenyan politics, especially the rift valley politics, everything was great until recently that all the plans stuck on the pendulum. The Peter Kenneth factor in Jubilee politics is a killer for DP Ruto's ambitious 2022 presidential dreams in  Kenya.

Peter Kenneth comes in Jubilee politics as a clean man with full potential to lead Nairobi County into greater heights. His Presidential bid in 2013 gives him an upper hand in Nairobi gubernatorial race. However, Peter Kenneth is only threatened by the current Nairobi Senator, Mike Sonko, who is also determined to vie for Nairobi Governorship on Jubilee party ticket.

Rumors has it Mt. Kenya region is grooming P. Kenneth for 2022 presidential elections. This region is known for supporting their own in politics and it only remains a miracle if they would support DP William Ruto in 2022--- according to Jubilee Party MOU.

Early, there were speculations that the deal between him and the current president of Kenya, H.E Uhuru Kenyatta will not hold. The TNA governor once openly said his region will not honor the deal. The URP side experienced some wrangles about this but the president came out and calmed the issue. 

The looming standoff between the Rift Valley and Mt.Kenya region will definitely affect President Uhuru's reelection bid that is just around the corner. The fear of betrayal is enough to make things cold in the Jubilee campaigns. If this happens, then it will be the big blow to the president and his deputy--- and their MOU might not hold any longer.

Insecurity in Kerio Valley Force Residents to Flee

Freedom is never free.' Ask me who said this and I would tell you blatantly that 'I don't know.' The most important things come free and it does not really matter who provides them. Anyway, let's talk about the 'freedom' that is lacking in Kerio Valley in Kenya.

It has been reported that Kenyans living in the Kerio Valley have been forced to flee following ethnic clashes being experienced in the land.

The Pokot and Marakwet communities have been engaging each other in banditry raids, that has turned into freedom mayhem in the rift valley region of Kenya.

Kenyans have been expressing their concerns over the social media, Twitter in particular, about the level of insecurity in Kerio Valley. The most disheartening fact is that bandits have taken control of an entire region. The law enforcement agents are nowhere to be seen and the killers have nothing to hide--- the innocent defenseless citizens are the one suffering.


Kenya's most outspoken deputy president,William Ruto, who also hail from the affected region is mum on this. The President of Kenya, H.E Uhuru Kenyatta, has also remained silent on this issue... or maybe, he is working closely with national security body on the best method to end the menace.

Of course, this has forced the political leaders to have a say about Kenya's security, giving negative views about how the head of state handles threats to national peace and freedom to live.

The two pastoral communities' rivalry over land and pasture for their domestic animals goes back in history. However, most people link this to politics in Rift Valley. It has been confirmed that such social-political unrest only happens when the country is heading to the general elections. The country is almost there; August 2017.

Compromised freedom in Kerio Valley confirms that freedom is not free... sometimes it means doing whatever possible to attain it. An escapist government of people by the people has turned people down. Children and women forced to flee, just to feel a sense of peace and freedom. So sad!

Why do you marry or get married?

marriage is all about being together as one (from meme center)

It has been the norm and the expectations of every parent are to see his daughter or son getting a family of his or her own and having a plus of grandchildren.

Marriage is an institution that the society looks upon as the obvious outcome is for the couple to definitely have children. And this is such a saturated issue such that couple who even go for a year without a child will obviously get curious questions from their immediate family members or even from their close friends.

So just recently, we were treated to some shocking news here in my country of a young man who chopped off his wife's hands accusing her of not conceiving for the seven years that they had been married. But then there were reports that the same man had corrective reproductive issues being the reason for their failing to have children and could not even own up to seek medical attention.

Getting into the institution of marriage means that as a man you are ready to step up into the shoes of being the head of a family and a wife as your partner.

For sure being parents to your own children is definitely what you look forward to, but what if this fails... Does it mean that this marriage is doomed to fail?This question would definitely have answers and to some extent, it depends on the individuals involved.

But then for couples who are not able to sire kids,the society comes in here.Let the society not condemn the couple like theirs is a life of crime and we need to shun the mentality that women are to blame here in this case.

Like for this incident,this lady lost her arms yet her husband failed to follow up on treatment that would maybe have rectified the situation though he still chose to blame his wife for their reason of not having children.

So the society ought to accept childless marriages

Why Kenya Needs Dictatorship In The Fight Against Corruption

Kenya Needs a dictator in fight against corruption (image from http://cdn.youthkiawaaz.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/dictatorship.jpg

It is now clear that even the current president is incapable of turning Kenya around to its rightful place. The competition among the developing countries only hints where Kenya could be only if the issue of corruption was unheard of. It is just heart breaking to see countries making big progress while Kenya is being eroded by this beast into oblivion.

Leaders We Have,

As far as corruption is concerned, it is like a beast which is consuming the livelihood of Kenyans rendering them vulnerable to anything that might be on their way. It is sad that we have leaders who are ready to dine, encourage and celebrate those who are implicated in graft. These individuals are offered government posts and hidden from the public for sometime, before an outcry of another corruption scandal. The circle goes on and on. 

The leaders we have are like an ostrich in an arid area--- bury their heads in the sand and let everything else suffer the wrath of an angry sun. The more the public cry for accountability, the more the elected leader would point an accusing finger to a third party--- just to avoid being seen as a sleeping leader.

Why we need a dictator,

The issue here is leadership! And how do we make it right? It is very simple, we should elect a no-nonsense president. Yes! A person who would not look at an individual and think of a ethnic background of the culprit, a person who would over use his powers because he/she wants to make Kenya a corruption free nation, and a person who would be so mad if his close allies are implicated in graft scandals.

When the going gets tough, only the tough would be tempted to keep going. In this case, we can't just sit and wait for a miracle to happen. We have to do something! If it means electing a leader who would be so strict to this issue to the point of making us feel out of breath... then we have to try it out and regret later other than to shy away and watch from far as a few individuals take the country down.

Have your say!

Teachers From Hell Brutalize a High School Student In Tanzania, East Africa

Who is gonna save Kids in this school?

This is rather a rough question for parents who hand over their children to the teachers hoping for better tomorrow but forget to follow up to see how they (children and teachers) are working together towards the dreams for your child. Why say these?

for the video, click on this link by Victor Matara

A Tanzanian school, Mbeya Secondary School, is on spotlight after a short video that is already going viral online showing four male teachers beating up a student for an unknown reason. The two angry teachers are seen pummeling the student, kicking him and even shoving him where he fell landed on his back writhing in pain.

A female teacher is heard pleading with the four teachers to leave the boy alone but all was falling on deaf ears. It was clear that the teachers were not administering discipline but were ready to cause harm and even death only if time could have allowed it. The video shows the kind of brutality that the current generation has to ditch for better future of humanity.

Should parents have a say when a student has done something wrong?

Well, I guess there is no parent who would allow his or her child to undergo what the student in the video was experiencing. The law should take cause if normal disciplinary measures proves futile and there are many other ways to administer discipline to a rogue student but corporal punishment should not be the only way and the easy way.

Some parents allow too much or go quiet when they realize that their children are being targeted by rogue teachers while at school. In most cases parents allow ‘don’t care mentality’ to lead the way--- giving a deaf ear to reality---, acting as if ‘ school life is just how it is’ without asking questions or even letting the higher authority know what goes on at school. Such parents let criminal minded teachers walk away with such crimes and this leads to repetition of the same.

Now the wheel of change!

Even though the beating happened in Tanzania, Kenyans on Twitter are pushing for the arrest of the four male teachers and justice for the boy who underwent that ordeal. Hopefully, the Tanzanian authority will act on this and apprehend the teachers from hell.

We should not allow inhumane activities in our school. It is so sad that people sometimes give a blind eye to such criminals activities.

Parenting, Teenage Pregnancy And Why The Society Should Adopt Some New Changes

It is not how you prevent you child from unknown, it is all about
how you bring them up.

It may be shocking to all of us but as parents, it ought to be an eye-opener to other new challenges of parenting.

Just a few days ago.it was there in the print media of how girls as young as 13 years are already using contraceptives and this may be largely due to an increasing number of teenage pregnancies.It's true  that our young girls are solving the case of unwanted pregnancies but not the sexually transmitted infections(STIs). This revelation came to be the talk of everyone and a number of radio stations aired the same, out of concern for our young girls.

Most parents were willing to talk about this issue and reckoned that even as we say that we are in a generation where everything has changed, we cannot hide our heads in the sand and refuse to take the blame.

It's so sad that some parents opt to take their daughters to have birth control programs to avoid facing the embarrassment once they get pregnant. But the question is, what is more important, covering shame since you are a staunch Christian or the well-being of your daughter?

Any parent will have other reasons like ensuring that the daughter completes education without any interruptions, In this case, an unwanted pregnancy. By doing this, you as the parent are giving your daughter the go ahead of engaging in sexual activities since the fear of getting pregnant is well taken care of. But there are some adverse effects due to the usage of some family planning methods and as a parent then you ought to be ready to face the wrath of your daughter if she fails to conceive in future.

Parents should take their parenting roles responsibly talking to their children well in advance in order for them to make sane choices.

It so happens that some of the girls just get contraceptives over the counters without involving their parents because they think that they are old enough to make their own decisions.

For quite some time now even the government has been at the forefront  in encouraging young mothers to adopt family planning methods in a bid to properly space their children. So the concerned medical personnel should take up this opportunity and let them know that family planning only avoids unwanted pregnancy and so they ought to be careful since actively engaging in sex means more vulnerability to getting sexually transmitted infections(STIs).

So as parents, let us talk with one voice of being friends with our children and talk to them frequently and this way ,they will feel the parental touch of having parents who hear them out and assists them in their challenges.

How To Maintain Your Patience For a Long Time

How to be patient for a while wothout giving up (ideaquotes)

The term 'Patience' is mostly used when one is waiting for someone or something with hopes that at the end of the day the time wasted with be compensated in one way or the other. What many people forget is that this term can be used in other situations as presented by prevailing circumstances. Patience in anything means either a gain at the long run or disastrous fallout with everything. Here, you have to agree to either emerge a happy person or hang the face and count all among the lost. And yes! There are things you can do to ensure that an outcome counts positively just as expected. Let's see some of them:

1) Being Patient Positively.

This can be very tricky with regards to how much you are willing to wait for the expected happening or an outcome. It is always a two-way traffic! The more you wait for it to happen, the more the nerve breaks down and that is when some other ideas take prudence over positivity. It is not easy to be patient while at the same time allowing the negative thought (impatience) to keep instilling fear, corrupting whatever that means much to you. What do then?

2) Do something as you wait.

Yes! Keep your mind busy all the time. It is essential to let your mind roam from one item to another just to make sure nothing distracts your peace of mind. Patience is mostly determined by how much one’s brain can withstand stress-levels as and how well it can adapt to the surrounding and form inhibitors that would later be the basis of a relaxed mood.

3) Don’t give up yet.

There are times when you would feel that your wasted time will never pay off. The moment when an idea to give up seems much of a reality than just a little more wait. That is when you have to think better because a proverbial ‘eleventh hour’ might be lingering around but daring not to show up in reality. It is good if you become more patient than ever than to give up and lose everything you hoped for. You never know where your twist of fate might be laying in wait… Yes! Never give up just yet because things are seemingly so out of place and time rushing out quicker than usual.

 Conclusion

What if your patience is turning negative? Well, sometimes patience and fortune walk together as one. As you are already aware, fortune comes in two distinctive forms.. bad or good. Now, if your long wait emerges as expected then it is good to go. However, not everyone who patiently waits for something or someone emerges the winner. Twist of fate has its way of turning things around, but remaining positive for a better day someday makes things less bad. Just accept and move on with other plans.

Any questions?
