Happy new month fam,
Already three days into February and everyone is happy. Despite our muddy streets, we expect the rains to reduce in the course of the week and the diet will change from bitter sukumawiki herbs to beef.
January was hard for everyone including President Uhuru Kenyatta and his brother Raila Odinga. The two couldn’t resist the temptation to grace the UB40 Concert at Carnivore over the weekend to usher in the new month. From videos shared on social media, the President looked at home and happy.
Uhuru has memorised the lyrics of several reggae tunes in his heart. It is hard to explain why such a person cannot understand the reason Kenyans are broke.
Some of you have urged Uhuru to attend a concert organized by local musicians. Just imagine the President dancing to a ratchet song like ‘Pekejeng’ or Stevo Simple Boy’s ‘Vijana Tuache Mihadarati.’ First of all, he is no longer a youth and we don’t think he will agree with Simple Boy’s message. It will end in tears!
There are several activities scheduled for this month. However, the most important one will be the second Men’s Conference which will take place between the evening of February 13 to 15th. The venue of the conference will be communicated before the end of this week.
Organizers are still piecing together some of the topics that will be discussed in the meeting but the issue of unemployment is expected to take centre stage. Two of our members; Mwangi Kiunjuri and Ferdinand Waititu have joined the long list of jobless men. We must tackle this menace before it eats all of us.
We are also concerned about the number of men masturbating in public. For this reason, organizers are thinking about inviting one female speaker; Pastor Twa Twa to the conference.
Here are the stories making headlines:
