Kibu-xpiry Mart-The Coconut-flavoured Biscuits Chronicles

 


After a somewhat bizarre moment in Nairobi on my way back to Kisumu, 9th December 2020 was also engrossed with its gonzo occurrences. My love for coconut-flavored nice biscuits got me out of the house, and I found myself at Kibuye Mart, near Mama Ngina Children's home Kisumu. I picked a few items and, being an established wholesale and retail dealer, it never crossed my mind that the store would have any expired items on their shelves. I proceeded to the counter, paid for the items, and proceeded back to the house. The intention was to take the snack with some drink for lunch, but I had to wait until I got to the house.


To my surprise, the moment I opened the pack, I realized that the biscuits looked like they had been soaked in water. Alas! They were expired! The date on the pack indicated that the expiry date was on October 25th 2020. Like every other curious but hungry Kenyan, I went for the second, third, and fourth pieces, but the future was bleak. Questions lingered on my mind, whether to go and launch a complain but I had already opened the pack, and the two days of my struggle came to an end.

What is Your Treasure?

 A few years ago when I was in college, we had a discussion with my friends on what mattered to each one of us. Someone was asked, in the event of a fire, people drowning, or even an Earthquake, and you happen to be with the whole of your family in that situation, who or what would you save? Say you had your parents, sisters, brothers, your laptop, money, gold, wife, and children, who or what will you save? I want to pose the same question to you. Who or what will you save? I know how tricky it is. I do understand because it wasn't easy for us too. Somehow some of us felt like we would save our parents, and in the order of priority mom the dad, whereas some claimed that they would save their children. But again, I love my wife. She is the mother of my children. If I save my children and let their mother drown or get burnt, how will my children view me? Were it not for my parents, I wouldn't be here, I also do love them. In all honesty, they would be the first ones to be saved. ...

Are You a Man Under 30 Years? Here are 9-Under-30-Years Commandments

9 Advices to a Man Under 30 Years  Growing up, I never had the privilege to get advice from a 30-year-old man on what awaited me when I hit the third floor. I guess growing up with a career dad did not do me all the good but he did his part by ensuring that we had a comfortable life. I therefore had to figure things out myself after getting to 30 years old. Here are my lessons that might also help you. 1. Until you have defined what life is, never commit to a woman. 2. Do not take long before you move out of your parents' house. Even as you do this, always be ready to go back when things do not work out, because at some point in life, you will need to rethink and restrategise. 3. If you have an income in your 20s, use that money to build yourself. If you are into land, buy as much as you can. I always tell my students, if at any point in life, you have the resources but do not know where to invest, just go and buy a piece of land.  4. Do not spend more than two years in a job ...

As I get Old

 They told us it was just a number, but the reality is that age is more than just a number. It marks a significant change in our bodies and lifestyles. Some get wise as they age, whilst foolishness abounds in others. As I get older, I have come to realise several things. 1. Simplicity wins. As you age, you realise that the minimalistic principle is the best. You crave simple things in life, provided that you can meet your needs. 2. Friends, even the close ones, will not stay in your life forever. The energy diminishes as you age. 3. The most important relationship is not the one you have with your children or spouse, but with yourself. 4. Nobody cares about your hard work, but the results. 5. Heartache and failure are normal. 6. Truthfulness becomes a habit 7. Quality over quantity. 8. The difference between 20 and 40 is not 20. Time really flies when you are 20 years. 9. Petite always wins. So, when choosing your partner, get yourself a beautiful petite one. 10. December is not as...
