Keeping Slim

Keeping slim is good for the planet, say scientists. When it comes to food production, moving about in a heavy body is like driving around in a gas guzzler, the heavier our bodies become the harder and more unpleasant it is to note about in them and the more dependent we become on our cars. Staying slim is good for health and for the environment. We need to be doing a lot more to reverse the global trend towards fatness, and recognise it as a key factor in the battle to reduce emissions and slow climatic change (courtesy, ScienceDaily).

Don't Quit

Don't quit when the tide is lowest, for it's just about to turn.
Don't quit over doubts and questions, for there's something you may learn.
Don't quit when the night is darkest, for it's just a while until dawn.
Don't quit when you av run the farthest, for the race is almost won.
Don't quit when when the hill is steepest, for your goal is almost nigh.
Don't quit for you're not a failure, until you fail to try.

Corruption

Corruption. Graft. Bribery. Whatever name you wanna call it, is a devil that keeps on rearing it's ugly face. Every passing day, our humble ears will not rest unless it hasn't heard of any corrupt individual in this government. Is it a game of show me who is corrupt and i'll show you one who is also corrupt. Call it a game of cleaning our linen in the public glare. Whatever name you call it, "it's our time to eat" seems to take a foothold in the political arena in Kenya. The leadership in this country have really perpetuated the levels of corruption to a much larger extent, such that we Kenyans are even contemplating accepting it as a way of life.
If there is one thing that's eating into our 4.5% economic growth, it's this sore-thumb called graft! It is highly embedded in high places. From procurements to supplies, from health to our foods, from grave matters to even the current constitutional dispensation.
We all have a duty to hit this thing on the head from our lives, youths. It's good riddance that most of us youths ain't corrupt, or aren't we? We must take our country back from this corrupt morons. They make this country look like a smear of grease on the queen's coffee cup!
Am not corrupt, and am planning not to be. What about you?

Tribanation

Tribanation-the transformation of the Kenyan nation into tribal outfits. Our leaders av really catalysed this metamorphosis. The post-election violence is a very good example of how tribanation can actually incise our fundamentals of unity. It's true that we av not actually gelled as a people. There's no bond between the tribes. No love between the ethnicities! What will we do so as to achieve the unity we so desire? What will we do to insure our country against the repeat of the violence that we all witnessed, experienced and even committed?
It's time to crucify the devil of hatred and animosity among us. It's time that we remove the cloud of misgivings between us.
Am very very afraid that we gonna witness a full-blown explosion of the pressure that has been simmering in the people due to unresolved cases that was the core of the violence that we experienced two years ago.
My resolution is: am not gonna hate. Am gonna love all, no matter where you come from. What's yours?
