I really need explanations how does one contort his face, skew his lips to the side, slant his eyes and then consider it fly, swag and expect women to actually be moved by his look, at the meantime sisters are pouting their lips talking out of the side of their lips and consider it swag.
Joining sentences with words like you know, maybe, do you understand, and its like, kinda sorta, and ahaa.
the saddest part is the lengths women and men go to to stand out, i am not trying to diss people, believe me i respect peoples personal taste as long as its stylish i don't mind, but wearing AVOGADRO clothes which are worn in the runway, on the street in an attempt of being fashionable and swagged out..well that's just too much.
the number one rule of fashion, and i must say i myself am an apprentice who is learning is that less is more, and you can buy fashion but you can never buy style...
so take it easy, just start slowly experiment with what works for you,,,follow fashionistaas on blogs and vlogs and learn,,,no one came to the world all knowing so the basic are the same all you gotta do is infuse your personal taste.
remember the people in video clips do not walk with those clothes in the streets and still even Lady gaga wears regular clothes on regular days.

Personal Hygene:
what happened to brushing ones' teeth twice a day , seriously bad breath is the one biggest turnoff for almost every one.an elderly lady sat by the window seat behind the driver, while i had the misfortune to be sat next to her, i kept on looking past her outside the window to see the slugging traffic jam along N'gong road i was tapped on the right shoulder by a smartly dressed Nairobi-an in a crop hair do, i say Nairobi-an cos there is a certain swag about people who have adapted to the Nairobi life; well i took out my Mbao aka twenty shillings/bob and gave it to the lady to pass it on to the conductor,, i then tapped the elderly lady, who took out a ten bob and yelled sideways Nashukia Adams..i am alighting at Adams.
Now this would have been just anther regular morning if not for the fact that i and the lady beside me where suffocating in that woman's bad breath.,,i started coughing non stop while my neighbor tried but failed to stifle some giggles but she soon stopped when i started wheezing and had to reach from my inhaler.
that is when i decided to carry chewing gum with me for such occasion.
i let my brain start wondering on what could be the cause of this, fungal infection, maybe, naturally bad breath, or maybe she missed on supper and Breakfast this morning.And if the proce of tooth paste is too hick, old school charcoal or a brushing stick aka Muswak can do the part.
i Must admit i hate brushing my teeth, i remember raising my mothers blood pressure as a child with the tricks i would play to evade brushing my teeth.but Now i appreciate her insistence and although my dislike for brushing has not faded in the least, i do brush religiously to ensure that i have someone to listen to me COMFORTABLY..
so if you are in a rush to work and forgot to brush your teeth, maybe you pulled an all nighter at the club and are commuting home, or you simply have bad breath,,,,get a chewing gum, preferably cinnamon or mint flavor and chew the stink away and save us the agony of pretending to smile to save you the embarrasment.

Beastality revealed
so in the past few days Kenyan media has taken on local women who are tricked by perverts posing as tourists to engage in sexual activity with Dogs..
Bestiality is a hush hush topic in the African community, I remember during my schooling days we visited a village where every young man who approached man hood was given a donkey to do the deed since you could only touch a woman when you are married to her.
people have been known to engage in sex with their livestock, or a stray sheep, i actually heard a man on Radio confess to being intimate with a sheep during his boyhood days .and the funny part was how lightly he made of his past incidents.it brought back the memories of an episode of a law series where one wife took her lawyer husband to court for getting too comfortable with Betsy the cow, she said she was frustrated at the amount of time he was spending with the cow..
NoTE she was not frustrated at the act only that she was lossing priority, i mean Seriously...what has the world come to?

Drunk at 8:00am: NAOMBA SERIKALI
today was a good day, Although i went to bed late i was up and out of my house by 7:30am.i bought my copy of the daily nation exercised my eyes on pages of Kenyan and regional politics.while commuting on the second mini bus locally called Mat or Mat-3 i was lucky to find a vacant seat next to the driver, if you live in Nairobi you will know this is a find to kill for in traffic hours it means you get enough room to stretch your feet as opposed to almost assuming a fetal position in the other seats..
But my comfort was not to last, as i scooted over and allowed the boarding passenger seating space beside me, and before i could adjust to this new arrangement my eyes and nose started watering, i started sniffing and then the stench hits me,,,,its 8:00am and this middle aged man in a crumpled suit in reeking of alcohol, bad breath, sweat and all the signs of some who didn't make it home last night and skipped on showering.
for those in African countries reading this, i am sure it seems like a Deja vous. with our unstable economies, the every growing taxes and food prices, the dwarfed salaries, the childrens school fees and Ugali and Skuma wiki on the table, going home after work for most people is a night mare.
And with school just starting a new term, it is most likely one prioritizes to buy the necessities to send his/her kids to boarding school and risk bumping into the ignored landlord, and as mid-month draws near, and the panic level rises, many an African man resorts to dingy bars, scantily dress waitresses and the tab that is most likely to pile up with the rest of the bills needing clearance as the month closes.
And when he wakes up in the morning dreading the interrogation awaiting from the woman of the house, since most African women run home affairs, he opts for the scolding from his boss for his um presentable look which in comparison is a slap on the hand.
my train of thought is interrupted as i realized i was approaching my destination and out off panic i ended up alighting a stage before my actual stage, and there i saw them men hanging around the building i am about to enter, their faces gloomy as the await to be picked by random passerby's for manual labor.
so in the famous Kenyan way " NAOMBA SEREKALI ITUSAIDIE". we ask the government to help us.

The struggle continues....
The death of the Dinka Ngok paramount chief Kuol Deng Majok comes as big shock to the Abyei community, this man who in the worst of times never deserted his people nor his homeland, always leading by example and always putting Abyei first.
He ensured the security of the few residents who preferred to stay and in times of bombings and killings led his people to nearby Warrap state.
for me personally, his presence gave constant hope that things would be OK, and that we the Abyei community were through him present as well in our homeland.
Now things are not looking very well, and as the sons of Abyei die one by one, I SHALL NOT let the fire of hope ebb, the questions of when and for how long this will ever stop ceaselessly drums through my brain.And i am left with doubts on the success of a referendum of the Dinka Ngok, and its impact on the people, Whose support we will have, and the fr-enemies we as a people need to look out for.
I Must say this is a time for self restrain and calculative calm,,let us in these times opt to be wise for the sake of our people.It is the time to gather our strength because when it 's the fallen mans turn to stand up, he surely stands tallest .
that day is dawning, when Abyei will be free and our children will play in the streets and hear the tales and the struggles of our people..it will sure dawn .but until then let our clans remain united.
our wish is one, our vision one, and so must our voice be one!
Aluta Continua!

Alhilu says: Kuku is lost and in support of the NCP agenda.
 |
| AbdelAziz Ahilu |
The deputy chair of the Sudan People’s
liberation Movement for Northern sector (SPLM-N) Abdel-Aziz Adam Alhilu
criticized the latest remarks made by the former Sudan People’s Liberation Army
(SPLA) general Telefon kuku Abujalha describing them as serving the national Congress Party’s agenda
for isolation the issues of Blue Nile and South Kordofan from the issues
affecting the entire Sudan.
Kuku had told the Sudan Radio Service
(SRS) in a previous interview that the problem of the Nuba Mountains has been
commercialized by people who do not belong to the region.
And that the actual reason for the
killings in the two areas is for political positions, adding that he war that
erupted in South kordofan was for Abdel-Aziz’s seat.

| former SPLA general Telefon Kuku |
In a phone interview with the SRS on
Thursday from an undisclosed location, Alhili said that their former comrade in
arms general Telefon Kuku has lost his way.
He said Telefon Kuku reiterated the
NCP’s opinions, and supports their agenda which aims to divide the cause.
He added that issues facing South
kordofan and Blue Nile neither be solved in kadogli nor Damazin but the capital
Khartoum.
Alhilu further called on the Kuklu to join the SPLM-N are reconsidering his ideology.
He said that kuku was a member of the
SPLM, and believed in the movement’s vision of comprehensive solution.
It is alleged that he ruling NCP used
Telefon Kuku to cause division in the SPLM-N when they nominated him in
absentia to run against Abdelaziz Alhilu for South Kordofan governor in May of
2011.
However Kuku denied these allegations.

JUNUBIN: Broken dreams part 1
After the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement which brought an end to 22 years plus of civil
war, between the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement and the government of
Sudan, the people of Sudan where given a six year interim period after which
they had to determine whether to remain as part of the Sudan or separate.
The secession would be determined by a poll where the South Sudanese would either vote for separation or unity.
Prior to this exercise like any voting, one was required to register and vote at the same place.
A majority of south Sudanese opted to go back to South Sudan ahead of the voting exercising, which preliminary polls had shown where in favor of separation.
And although there issue was not with the people of Sudan, living with them under an oppressive regime which considered every person of African descent 2nd class or a slave, was not to be.
After tearful goodbyes and fear of the unknown, convoy after convoy of south Sudanese and their luggage's headed to south Sudan, a majority of children now adults who had never seen this "home" of bedtime tales, whose hearts soared with pride at the mere thought of seeing it for the first time.
young men and women whose mothers toiled in hardship brewing alcohol and selling it to the same people in the Khartoum regime who considered it an abomination, and whose goons constantly dragged this women in and out of prisons; yet managed to give their children valuable education. So armed with looks of determination, a few utensils, a chair and bed here and there, and their valuable degrees they headed back to the land of promises.
it has been almost three years, the determined looks have been replaced by despair as only people with some sort of connection are handed over good jobs, and their hard earned certificates are deemed insufficient for lacking proficiency in the English language, compelling them to resort to manual labor as they see their counterparts who studied in English given preferential treatment.
There cry fell on deaf ears, and their wish for the life in Khartoum has them labeled as Arab wannabes.
This is just a part of the society and if we look at the entire south Sudanese population the majority are dissatisfied with the status quo.
What would you do if you were in their shoes?

SRF chief of Staff Alhilu Vows to Topple Khartoum Regime
In an exclusive interview with Sudan Radio Service on Thursday
from an undisclosed location, Al-Hilu said the SRF’s latest attacks on the areas
of Abu-Karshola, Al-Simeh, Alla-Karim and Um-Rawaba in Northern Kordofan were
in retaliation for attacks on areas controlled by the SRF by the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF), which coincided with
the start of the Addis Ababa negotiations.
Al-Hilu alleged that marginalization and deprivation of freedoms
and justice in Sudan will not end until the SRF reaches government institutions
in Khartoum and kick out its leaders.
”There will be no change, there will be no New Sudan,
there will be no freedom, and there will be no justice or respect for others unless
the SRF enters Khartoum, to the residence of Abdel-Rahim Mohammed Hussein and President
Al-Bashir, the unjust head of the National Congress party (NCP),” Al-Hilu said.
He further refuted government claims that SRF forces were
supported by South Sudan in the recent attacks in Northern Kordofan, describing
the claims as NCP attempts to deflect citizens’ attention away from the real
issues behind the fighting. He predicted more attacks by the SRF.
He added that unless the ruling regime reconsiders its wrong
policies of military solutions for the Sudan issue, monopolizing government, in
addition to marginalization, more parts of Sudan will witness war.
He said the flames of battle will be witnessed in in Al-Jezeerah,
Shandi, Haj-Yousif and Um-Bada, against these “malicious criminals, Bashir and
his allies.”
Earlier the United Nations expressed concern over the SRF
attacks on Northern Kordofan State, calling the fighting as shocking.
The mission added that the escalation in military
hostilities may obstruct peace talks between the SPLM-N and the government.
In response to that Al-Hilu illustrated that the SPLM-N is bound
by United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolution number 2046, adding that
the NCP is not committed to the negotiations and refuses to acknowledge the
international agenda for negotiations.
“The Addis talks failed even before the attack on Abu-Karshola
and other incidents, we abide by the 2046 resolution from the UNSC,” he
reiterated.
He added that resolution 2046 tackles previous agreements,
national issues and calls for comprehensiveness rather than solutions of
exclusion.
Media houses in Khartoum, including the national television broadcast
rumours that Abdel Aziz Al-Hilu was killed in the recent Um-Rawaba battles.
Al-Hilu responded by saying “ This is not new, it is
expected of the NCP, we look at these rumours as wishful thinking from their
leadership, that so and so disappeared. Dr John Garang Yousif Kuwa, Dr. Khalil
Ibrahim, Abdallah Abakr, Adam Bazuka died martyrs but the cause lives on,
because the root cause of the problem has not been solved. Because the war is
on political, economic, cultural, social and religious grounds and other types
of marginalization in Sudan.”
Over 15,000 people sought refuge in Rahad in the aftermath
of the SRF attacks on their respective areas in Northern Kordofan, according to
the Sudan Relief Commission.
