Imagine there is no pizza

I am not a great pizza consumer neither am i one of its greatest fan ,but once in a while,i do try one at Pizza Hut's especially when there is a 'buy one get one free' promotion.I am a lover of freebies especially if whatever is at stake can make me save a few euros to see me through the month.
I am not worried about my pizza unconsumption,but if what the Grandfather pizza guru cum Republican Presidential Candidate Herman Cain says is something to go by,i think i will advise my man to consume more of pizza.
This is what he had to say;“The more toppings a man has on his pizza, I believe the more manly he is,because the more manly man is not afraid of abundance.”“A manly man don't want it piled high with vegetables! He would call that a sissy pizza.”
Now this guy has not only a passion for pizza, but also a penchant for women.Just a few days after declaring his interest of occupying the White House,Cain has been accused of  sexual harassment by five women,the sixth and seventh might be doing the same as i write this.This allegedly happened during the guy's humble days,when he was a Mr Nobody.This, he would say,is the dirty hand of his Democrat opponents or worse still his fellow Republican candidates.Not that this is new in America;we cannot count the great men who have been felled by American women through such allegations,and we know who the culprits are anyway.
Cain also faced a backlash that saw his candidature plunge severely when he stumbled about Libya during an interview.Americans were surprised by his ignorance about Foreign Policy;Libya has been in the spotlight and even a 10 year old could tell you what has been happening and who was for or against the uprising.He also marveled many when he said that China does not have nuclear weapons and many more.But again,Presidential hopefuls are just human like anybody else;they  can not know everyting and can do anything that any human does.


Presidents do gossip too;didn't you hear that Nicholas Sarkozy,unaware that the microphone was on,was overheard telling Barrack Obama that Benjamin Netanyahu is  a liar and that he hates him?Yet in public,these heads of states smile and laugh with each other as if all was well.
Cain must by now be feeling the heat of being in the spotlight;you no longer have a life of your own and every word you say is put under the microscope.Infact this is just the beginning of his woes and conspiracies,he should be prepared for more.

Talking about that,i am looking forward to a day when Kenyan aspiring Presidential candidates are put under the same pressure.I would like to see their insight about issues and know a bit about their history.That would be a great way to separate the wheat from the tare.
In the meantime,my good luck wishes go to those taking the risk of getting to the top,even when to them Libya and Labia sounds the same.They should also know that 'THE HIGHER THE MONKEY CLIMBS,THE MORE HE EXPOSES HIS REAR'

The Kenyan Diaspora Has Been Trivialized And Treated As A Side-line

I am writing this as I try to overcome the shock I got a few weeks ago after learning that the Diaspora desk had been ‘reduced and fitted in’ with the Digital and New Media in the newly created Presidential Strategic Communications Unit (PSCU) whose appointees are an all man team of popular journalists and social bloggers. Being a woman, I should have been more disappointed with the gender misrepresentation since no woman was appointed to the PSCU team (of five men), even when the constitution is black and white on the one third gender rule.   It seems that women empowerment is not an issue of concern to the Presidency, and as a result, for the next five years, women will stay away from a platform that would’ve allowed them to air their issues, despite their significant media, communications and public relations presence. But what shocked me most was the appointment of one Denis Itumbi as the Director of Digital, New Media and Diaspora affairs. I have no issues with him an

Before You Relocate.....You May Have To Consider.

Lately,there are rising cases of young Kenyans seeking any possible way to relocate abroad citing economic problems and lack of opportunities in the country. This is coming at a time when the US is working on its immigration reforms, which may see the abolishment of the Green card lottery. Many Kenyans see this as a nip in the bud for their hope of living the American dream in the land of opportunity. This need to emigrate is also coming at a time when cases of human rights violations and even death of Kenyan domestic workers in the Middle East are rising. Only yesterday, a Kenyan woman who had been hired as a domestic worker to work in Saudi Arabia was rescued from what is believed to be human trafficking by a Saudi princess.In March last year, a Kenyan woman, Esther Wanjiru Mwikamba, 26, succumbed to death in the United Arab Emirates a month after a brutal beating in a Dubai parking lot.  These are just a few of the many horrible stories that we get to hear every day, and

ArtCaffe is not the problem;neither are the croissants!

Image
So today for the very first time I get to learn about a certain ArtCaffe that is being accused of racism and selective discrimination in Nairobi.  Apparently, ArtCaffe became operational in 2009, and it has since extended to four main branches; Westlands, Gigiri, Junction and Karen. You see, the reason I may be hearing about it for the first time today is because those are not my ‘normal visit/frequented’ places! Perhaps if it was about Paul’s Cookie Man’s Bakery on Tom Mboya Street or the pastry shop at the Nairobi Naivasha stage, I’d be well conversant! For the few times I have been to the Village Market, I do not remember taking any drink or snack there.  Not that I do not love pastry; I always have to resist myself from taking a croissant from one of ‘the state-of-art’ bakeries here in Paris. A simple butter croissant goes for a cool 1 or 2 euros! Now imagine if I took two daily!   But what amazes me is that, I haven’t at any given time been refused the pleasur
