The couple went to a printing shop to print wedding cards, and the printer made an error of typing “welding” instead of wedding. With 5000 copies already printed would you return the copies for reprinting? YES or NO. My answer would be NO, because I would rather be “welded” to my partner for life if possible! Kuna mafisi mle mtaani.

Business is crazy; ask everybody. Land-lord will say I invest in my buildings, a driver will say I invest in my car, a farmer will say I invest with my tractor, a thug will say I invest with my gun but what will a lady around the corner at Koinange say?

So whom do u consider the stupidest?

1. A Nigerian man who watered his farm Garden in the rain?
2. A Kenyan man who saw a ripe mango & climbed the tree to confirm then came down & used stones to pluck it..
3. A Ugandan man who saw something that looked like shit, he touched it with his finger and tasted it and said,mmmmh! It’s shit. Thank God I didn’t step on it.

Sometimes it HAPPENS instinctively. there will be no aforethought. Eat it quick. This is a story about MALI. After being liberated by the French, they were so grateful to the French president and its people, that they offered a camel as a sign of gratitude. The French were very happy and before they could take the camel to France, they had to plan first. They had to decide the means by which the big animal was going to be transported.at that time the camel was under the custody of the village chief of Timbuktu. Well, that took time and the fact that the house for the camel was indeed under construction in a Zoo in Paris. Prior to that, the hype for the camel arrival was in all the news outlets: talk of newspapers, blogs, televisions. Paris times called it the “Sahara Pinochet” Most french have never seen a camel before, only on the national geographic channel, but this time around they are going to pay 15 francs to see it LIVE in a zoo. three days to the transportation of the camel, the chief, and his subjects acted upon the camel…………..what an embarrassment! But did someone remind the french that these guys have not cultivated their fields since the Islamist takeover? Leaving a camel to this hungry folks for three weeks was a level 4 risk!

So many obstacles are working to keep you down, such as your past experiences, mindset, and attitudes. Feelings of unworthiness, of inadequacy and inferiority, added to the mix mess up potentially great people big time.

WE LOVE THEM AND WITHOUT THEM THERE IS NO WORLD

we walk out of the door every morning putting on a brave face. smiling from ear to ear; the NIKE style. believing and trusting the bright blue sky to bring hope and prosperity to our lives.
upon reaching our workplaces, we delightedly work to impress! we want to show everyone that we are that only bean among the maize.in the process, we over-work ourselves beyond the limits. finally, we get drained off and we could not afford to perform the smallest of tasks including smiling and giggling. at this time, when someone throws an innocent joke towards us, we get agitated and end up using three-letter words in disgust. we end up believing that everyone might have a personal problem with us. Images start to pop up our minds. images of hatred, despair, low self-esteem.

the day ends up at the bath…..
we cry our hearts out, pick up the phone and we call anybody that cares to let them know that we LOVE them and without them “THERE IS NO WORLD”

I was wondering, still wondering, and will keep wondering when God will come back to free us from all this mess. It's the reason we lost all the love and respect that we once enjoyed.

15th law states; (crush your enemy TOTALLY), all great leaders since Moses have known that a feared enemy must be crushed completely. The enemy will recover and will seek revenge. crush him, not only in body but in spirit.

If you feel like torching down your papers you are not alone, I am thinking of doing the same. How can they (employers) take us for a ride? #job advert, #3 months later; shortlisting, #6 months; names lie down at the human resources desk, # 4 weeks; names come out for the candidates to attend the interview, #5–6 weeks names that came out still requires verification by CDT section. FINALLY, INTERVIEW IS HELD, # please find out if you are selected in 3 months' time. If we don't call you by then, know that you are F@qed!!!

You are naked moving at night, to perform witchcraft: halfway you meet another naked witch of the opposite sex. (It was dark and in the middle of nowhere.) What do you think happened? Crazy Trivia.

Today was supposed to be a big day for democracy in South Sudan. I was to launch the project “race for democracy “but due to the incidents that transpired yesterday, I could not be able to move to the internet cafe! Right now am using the android phone to update my status! Don’t give up on our quest for democracy in South Sudan. It’s ironic that one priest at kator was asking all jububin to unit, on Sunday yesterday, a day when the world was celebrating mandelas life! Viva South Sudan
