SMALLWIG TURNED- BIG: VIDEO

Published on in

My friend is on TV! I am from a village, so, my type of friends and I find it very hard to appear on TV- unless it's a wedding video.

Just kidding, I know Bigwigs, too!

When I met Kay-eye, it was our first day at my place of work, you know, we were all fresh faced, and in full suits and ties( that is, before the suits were discarded) and we clicked on first site. I'd have said love, but that's gay. Hehe

Kay Eye is a musician. I raised eyebrows and dropped them. We are all musicians, right? We sing in the bathroom, and whenever we go upcountry, we attend local church/ youth concerts-and show them what we got from the city. So, my eye brows remained down, till he gave me his Soundcloud and YouTube URLs.

Man! I was in personal terms with a mighty celeb!

Kay Eye is a wise guy, just spend thirty minutes with him, it will come down at you. So, I called him Egghead(search that up) and opened a Blog for him, called EGGHEAD, and told him to write his ideas there. Then I knew this guy would be great!

You should visit the blog and read his poems, and philosophy.

Back to music, all his salary went to the studio, he would be broke by Date 5. He grew dissatisfied with the work, as it didn't accommodate his vast dreams. And he resigned!

To make music, and freelance work. The guy is a mathematician. An experienced statician/ analyst to boot.
So, I kept waiting for the video (I had already listened to the raw audio).

First, he sent me a link to the video shoot, on Mombasa road. A very rugged guy almost beat him up, for stepping on him as he rapped away. Those are the problems smallwigs face! Watch it here. I pitied the guy.

Then the final video landed! The guy has moves, lines, and this creative sense I have not seen in Kenya! He is a mkamba, so, gangnam style yellow all over, he is jumping like a maasai, though.

What's more: Its Gospel!

Watch the video, and drop a line of encouragement, or whatever, for my guy.

Mourinho Made Ferguson Retire

Published on in

You know who I blame for Sir Alex Ferguson deciding it’s time to retire? Jose Mourinho.

If you think that is absurd consider this: Mourinho’s return would present him with a challenge to knock Manchester United off their perch. Chelsea have been Premier League champions and they’ve been European champions. So what could Mourinho offer?

Fergie has talked in a beautiful, endearing way about how he wants to be with his wife, who has supported him for years. It was emotional just listening to him.

But for me the possible arrival of Jose back at Chelsea precipitated the end for the greatest manager English football has seen.


A chance to take over from United permanently as the dominant force in the Premier League and Europe.

Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho
Real pain in the behind
That is Mourinho’s challenge, should he choose to accept it, rather than messing around with pay-offs and financial issues. (If he loved Chelsea, money wouldn’t be a problem, surely?)

Ferguson has every right to turn that challenge down. He is interested in football, not soundbites and enigmatic press conferences.



He is also not interested in any touchline nonsense.

The last time Mourinho was asked to end the dominance of another club was when he took over at Real Madrid. He had no chance of doing it with football, so he poked a coach in the eye, called Barcelona cheats, and left Pep Guardiola so disillusioned with football he gave up.

If Mourinho is happy doing that to Guardiola, he won’t shirk from trying similar tactics with Ferguson.And the old man couldn't take that-any more.

SHAMED BY MY MP

Published on in


There is a TT dubbed #SomeoneTellLinturi regarding an MP who appeared in TV stations on Wednesday, whining in a rather accented voice that the Salaries and Remuneration Commission that deals with MPs and other Public Officials' salaries had overstepped their mandate and called for the Commission's wind up.

Previously, MPs used to mug us, Taxpayers at gun point.  They would wantonly set their pay, and resist any tax on it, they drove huge cars-my sweat. A traditionally severely divided lot, they would speak in one voice during such discussions. At one point, only Karua and Peter Kenneth were against such a move.

When they were ordered to pay taxes, they said they wanted more salary, so that the taxman can deduct that extra amount as tax, one said they were not gaining, it was a +1-1 math. Then a few of them decided to make it a publicity stunt, Queing at KRA to pay tax. It was ceremonial to them- to us, it's a crime not to.

Anyway, that is past.

Only that the past is back to haunt us. The devil bearing it this time is my MP.

I haven't accepted him as my MP, whereas I wasn't around, little birds tell me that he didn't win fairly. Dead people rose to vote for him. IEBC official stamps were found somewhere in a bush. The man who was so vilified somehow won the election. Wonder where he got the votes-Don't quote me.

Now, seeing him talk like that, and #KOT telling him as they (we) do, I felt ashamed.

Why do people have to be so greedy? Is it a curse unique to that house? Or is it a haunted house? We have seen several seasons of the Reality Show that is Kenyan Politics behave in exactly the same manner. Total disregard of the laws that be especially where their greedy, huge tummies are concerned.

And why did my MP choose to be the King Pig? I feel the nudge to call him a few select words, but I leave that to Cabu Gah. 

Friends, as it is now, I don't have an MP.

I don't. I am not at home anyway.
