TRENDS OF FASHION IN AFRICA

The program, Focus on Africa at BBC, commenced on time but with some technical on the satellite transmissions, however, the producer Clere, did her magic and we were able to go on air after some minutes. She's an inspiration.

Our Nigerian 'Broda' was up in arms to battle people like us who are not patriotic to the traditional wears. Furthermore, he fully supported the idea of a Nigerian minister of enforcing a law that would make all the civil servants in Nigeria to were traditional dressings on Fridays.

On my side sat a Kenyan designer , John, Who was involved in designing the Kenyan national dress some few years ago, that failed to hit the market. With much passion on his work, John was partially supporting my argument that, people should not be forced to wear traditionally and especially young men who have been brought up in an urban society.

Callers from Sierra Leone, Nigeria, S.Africa and London were sorry for me that I had become a symbol
of use by the Westerners. As the Presenter of the program described the way I was dressed and said that I could fit in any street in NY or L.A, others were even saying that I was suffering from Inferiority Complex..... awwhh it made me laugh.

The question is Who is it to blame between me and my parents who raised me up in an urban setup???

Keeping of pets is an art that is applied by people who love animals. The love must be instilled in the animal in order to win its trust. One must ensure that the animal is well fed and also ensure he/she understands the emotions of the animal. One must be able to know if the animal is in good health so that you can provide medication. Different animals are kept as pets depending on which is friendly to one. While there are those who like dogs, others like cats, and others like birds. There are those who even keep snakes, lizards, etc. In A sia, there are people who are known to keep elephants as pets. During the time of th Roman Empire, lions were the most favourite for emporers. One may wonder how a feared animal like a lion, cheater or leopard can be tamed by man. Other animals are very wary of man e.g. antelopes yet we hear of people who have endeared themselves to them. All this happens due to the interest people have in differnt animals. The interest leads people to make observations of the animals they like. They also try their tactits like feeding them and other tricks on the animals untill they win their atention. These pets learn how to submit to their masters' instructions who in turn respond by making the animals appreciate what they get as rewards.

Initially everyone believed that Kimunya would be found guilty by the Cocka commission. But if the final outcome of the iquirely comes out according to expectitions, some of our politicians will have to apologise to the former minister who have not been treated hashly like we expected by the findings so far of the commission.

Childhood Night mares

When I was a small boy, I used to have night mares which usually terrified me. There is this dream which so often I dreamed. Iwould see Satan following me and I would try to run away from him yet in vain since he would catch up with me. I would then decide to comfortably and confidently walk away from the devil and to my surprise, I would succed in getting away from him with a lot of ease. This was a dream I used to have on many occasions and today, when I consider how the devil brings temptations to me, I always feel that it was God who wanted me to have faith in Him and I would always defeat the devil no matter how trying a moment may appear. Experience has taught me that if I just resist the devil, he will run away from me. I should not fear him but God Almighty. It is only God who should be feared and nothing else in the whole unverse. When Daniel showed fear to the Lord only, and declared that he better died than to worship idols, God declared that he would not be eaten by lions. Also, when Shadrak Meshak and Abednego stood their ground in the name of the Lord, fire could not kill them. Even now if we stand for our faith in Jesus, we will not be consumed by eternal death.

Kenya's IDPs

The war in Mt. Elgon has ended with displaced people going back to their homes. While everyone commends the Kibaki administration for the good work they have done, the question lingering in the minds of many Kenyans is ; is it the government's plan to let people suffer first and then come in to their rescue or is it taking the government long to know that people are suffering? One thing is certain, that the problem in the Rift valley is not too much for the administration. But why has the government not found it wise to send troops or even police to affected areas such as Molo, Kulesoi and Burnt Forest to restore peace and security? Considering the affected people are the people who devotedly voted for Kibaki, why has the president desided to neglect them. Do these people really deserve to live as IDPS when they have their own plots which they rightfully own? Isn't it the right of every Kenya to enjoy security and to live anywhere in the republic without fear? If these people or any other group of people ca continue to live like this, then nobdy should feel secure in Kenya because, these are people whose protection is enshrined in our constitution and for them to continue suffrering, then it shows the constitution we know is not the one which is being applied. This is reason enough to fear because any one who feels like displcing you can do it with impunity.
