By Dr.Paul Bundi Karau I arrived at Kanyakine High School on 18th February 1999 a small village boy. I had never been to a boarding school, and certainly this is the furthest from home I had ever gone. The boys who were assigned to escort me to Mungania dorm looked at my stunted height and loudly wondered how I would survive in Beast's school.  "Who is Beast?" I asked in bewilderment. "You will know." Musyoki answered curtly. It didn't take me long to know who Beast was. The following day, as the 10 o'clock tea was being served, I heard a commotion, with boys leaving their tea and running helter-skelter towards the classrooms.  I was a fresh mono, so I didn't know what was happening. I ran along the pavement, and came upon a mighty man, who appeared to be adjusting his trousers. He yanked his belt and thrust one whip towards me. I had encountered Beast himself. He was tall, imposing, burly and endowed with a thunderous voice that could re...

"In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful...

They told Americans and other visitors, that they needed "democracy" and "freedom" never realizing it was a cut throat system, where the biggest dog e...

A journalist asks Cristiano Ronaldo: "Why does your mother still live with you? Why don't you build her a house?" Cristiano Ronaldo replies: "My mother raised me and she dedicated her life for me. She would go to sleep hungry, just to let me eat. We had no money at all. She worked 7 days a week and nights as a maid to buy my first shoes so I could be a player.

There is an amazing picture I once saw which showed the streets of New York in 1905, and then in around 1915; in the first picture, the streets were filled with horses with just a few cars, and in the second picture, they were filled with cars and just a few horses! That my friends is what is going to happen with electric cars and petrol cars. And it is coming to Lagos and Harare! Now some people will be thinking, “How do I get myself one of those cars so I can show off to my friends; maybe I will get myself a Tesla?!” Some other people will be saying, “How can I stop this so it does not get me out of a job or even kill my Petrol Station business or garage?!”  Others, the true entrepreneurs, are drawing up lists of the opportunities that this new industry is creating for them and others, and running as fast as their little legs will carry them!  Which one are you?
