Have you heard the saying that ‘respect is earned, and not forced or bought’? Ihave seen and heard a lot of men talk about not getting enough respect and love from women around them, and every time, blame these women for their problems, but the truth is, anyone will respect you if you carry yourself well enough to be respected. It isn’t rocket science, and hopefully, this post will prove it. OOZE HAPPINESS Learn to always smile, no matter what life throws at you. Don’t take things too seriously; life is too short for that. Happy and funny people are attractive. When you meet a woman for the first time, confidently crack some jokes, but don’t take it too far; it is the best way to open up women you meet for the first time. It will keep her curious about you. BE CONFIDENT AND COMFORTABLE This is attractive to women, even though some of them pretend not to be moved by it. It is natural for women to like confident guys because they are rare. But do not fake confidence, let it come from ins...

BY Strive Masiyiwa __Can you spot it? In the end, you’re always going to react to a new venture in one of three ways: 1) as a consumer; 2) as an entrepreneur; or 3) with dismissive indifference. Just remember: Every new venture that’s created also creates opportunities for YOU to # imagine and # create a new venture. Consider Vaya which I wrote about last week: What opportunities do you see as an entrepreneur now for YOU to create a new venture? Since this platform is about # Afripreneurship , I’m urging you to open your eyes to the infinite possibilities that it opens for you. What do you “see”? # You might have simply spotted something in the concept, and go on to use it for other things. # You might have seen something my team missed and I, and now go off to create something new or better. # You might have seen a way to use it to enhance and scale your own business. When we completed the Vaya business concept, I actually said to myself: “I wish Vaya had been there when I started my ...

While the nation was in grief due to the tragedy involving Mariam Kighenda and baby Amanda, Sarah Cohen, the main Suspect in the Killing of the tycoon Tob Cohen was released from remand. Sarah and Jowie Irungu have a similar case but since Jowie is broke, poor, homeless, jobless and young, he is still rotting in Kamiti Maximum Prison. Since the courts released Sarah Cohen, i demand that Jowie should also be released unconditionally. Ya Okoth Obado pia tunakumbuka. # JusticeForJowie # ReleaseJowieNow

Oscar Sudi, you are trash. I am not your age mate nor your equal in any measure. I am giving you 7 days to withdraw the nonsense you posted with borrowed english or I take necessary action that befits your mental dwarfism. You are a beneficiary of drugs trade in Kenya and I will be tabling a dossier to the effect of your involment in the illicit trade. Your master Kipchichir must have sent you but I inform your empty head that I will deal with him vehemently. A few years ago you used to come to my office for handouts ukiwa makanga hapo Naivas stage Trucadero Eldoret and you think you have the decency to insult me. I pulled you from the changaa dens in Eldoret behind Bandaptai garages and led you to the table to eat with kings yet you turn against the hand that fed you while you were a chokora.~Francis Atwoli~

Paul Bundi Karau, improbable Miracle in an impossible night, in the # IconsofMeru February 28th, 2003.Like a film: The teenage boys emptied through the narrow dining hall door into the night shouting, screaming and splinting. Just outside the school, thinking it's another night of student madness, an old `man peeing outside his House, fled back inside in panic, kicked his inquisitive goat standing by the open door, hurriedly closed the door And then angrily muttered to his wife, “5th strike in one year? What a devil's school. It should be closed down forever” Back at the school, the throng of over 800 students, united, senseless and now mostly shirtless after running in circles finally assembled at the wooden dais, in the center of the field and with their hands raised to the gods, broke into “Yote yawezeka” song and danced in ecstasy, danced to give thanks for the most improbable miracle that the school-Old Meru, actually - might ever have seen. Earlier on, The impossible nigh...

You chose me and rejected rich able-bodied men, Choices have consequences, Consequences can be positive or negative, I can re-write the story again today as I present you this special gift of a car, I can remember that day we enjoyed our time at Uhuru Park, Money I had none except the Sh5/= in my pocket which was only enough to buy two ice creams, I can remember we had not taken lunch that day, Not because we were not hungry but because my pockets were empty. True money I had none except many dreams and my special gift - sense of humor, I could dream and make promises, I could tell you in future I will be the greatest of leaders, I could tell my love my ambitions and aspirations, I told you about the castles in my dreams, I told you how I will build a Palace and you believed even though we were still living in my mother's Manyatta, sleeping on a cowhide as a matteres...
