Nyambua Ngeli Hii

Since I turned 29 last week, I have been feeling very concious of the fact that as a generation Y, I am growing old. So in a bid to find solace (misery loves company; ask kevinmaina), am looking for other generation Yers. And the only way to do so is to invoke things that only they would know. so here goes

1. Maziwa ya nyayo
2. Radio lessons.

I remember this time in Offafa Jeri primo when we were told that the school milk had 'dawa' that would make us impotent ati as a strategy for family planning (which was the thing then along side mmonyoko wa udongo). I remember our headteacher (headi) calling an emergency parade and downing a whole packet of school milk.

And offcourse radio lessons and the ever memorable mnyambuliko wa ngeli " Ngeli ya wa wa' wanafunzi rudia sentensi hii 'watu hawa hawa hawana suruali'!

ok. I made up that.

The Pope On Evil

When the Pope speaks of evil, we have to believe him. After all he is an authority on the subject, given the history of the institution he leads and his own personal history.

So now gracious Pope what do you want of your humble followers? do you want us to light up the stakes and burn the heretics? will it be the gas chambers of Auschwitz? or better still the machetes of Nyarubuye Parish?
