Are The Young People Justified to Protest?

It has always been the case in many political rallies and manifestos. It all started as a slogan to woo votes from the under-35s, which they have always found a way to do. In the past, you could lie to people because social media was still in its infancy. Information could not be easily accessed and stored, except by the mainstream media stations. They would commit all the atrocities and get away with them because they dictated what should appear in the mainstream media. In fact, it was only KBC that had the outright privilege of doing the recordings, and everyone depended on this government media house and its affiliated vernacular stations for news. Our parents worshipped the state and feared to criticise the state for any wrongdoing. The few who raised their voices risked their lives, and most of them ended up in torture chambers.  The likes of Raila Amollo Odinga, Achieng Oneko, Charles Rubia, and Paul Muite, among others, were young when they fought for the second liberation. ...

Will the Supreme Court Verdict be Unanimous?

It has been five days of knowledge dispensation by the learned friends as the supreme court played the host of the teams defending and making appeals. The August 9th general elections results announced by the independent electoral and boundaries commission's chairperson Mr. Wafula Chebukati was met with a lot of resistance from the azimio fraternity who claimed that the whole process was bungled. Led by their lawyer senior counsel James Agrey Orengo, the lawyers presented facts on how the process lacked what lawyer Willis Otieno termed as legitimacy. Among the evidence submitted to support the claims were the footprints left in the system as the intruders by the names Jose Carmago and CSilva tampered with the results, as per the server scrutiny report. In one instance, lawyer Julie Soweto presented a form that had the name of Jose Carmago, which was met by rebellion from the defense team, who claimed that it was an overlay. That led to the access of form 34A directly from the portal. One of the claims of the petitioners was that Chebukati who is the chairperson of the IEBC was dictatorial and that he did not involve the other commissioners. As the day came to a close, the big question is, who will the verdict favor? In what somewhat dealt a blow to the defense team, the deputy chief justice Philomena Mwilu claimed that the supreme court worked as a team and that none had veto power, contrary to how Chebukatiled the commission. She however insisted that they worked under the leadership of their leader. Could this be an indication of how the outcome will be delivered on Monday? Will it be by vote or a unanimous decision? We guess that it will be a unanimous decision that will be proved wrong or right on Monday.

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 ...

Master the ART of Dark Psychology

                                                                Photo: Courtesy   I am sure ya'll have found yourselves in uncomfortable situations. A situation where your boss or an older person demeans you. That would happen in the 1980s and '90s because people lived in fear. Children were punished and put into situations as if it were the end of the world. Earlier generations were taught to submit and never question anything, but Gen Z cannot accept such nonsense. The millennials went through the same torment, but they are slowly coming out of it. Here are several psychology hacks that can help you put someone who is demeaning you into his/her own place. Dark psychology has for a long time been used by narcissists, but you can also use it for your own benefit. Without considering gaslighting,...
