my personal Nai..

I have been thinking alot about pictures that remind me of home - some good; some bad;and some plain weird..

For instance..this one here has always left me 'flamoxxed' (!) - that was a good Kenyan phrase for y'all !!

Yani when this thing was constructed I always remember looking at at and thinking.."enyewe ina manisha niiiniii?" and it also kinda freaked me out cos it looks like someone's drowning inside the monument alafu its just the hand that has remained outside..the thought of it still makes me shudder.. And everytime i've fika'd home - I've seen the thing looking more and more decrepit. So can anyone gimme any ideas on the logic or the 'ina manisha niiiiniii' about this thing?
Ahsanteni !

..nime amuka..

Finally I have decided that its high time this blog was revived again. In the name of the title..am still aiming to return home - with a vengeance. The Game Plan is so on yani...I'm hoping you folks out there will help to inspire me somehow-somewhere!

I aim to use this blog to help me focus on my journey to return to 'the Green City in the Sun' plus also to focus on all issues "women; Africa" etc.

Karibu!

The first article I'd like to bring to our attention is that of the situation that I think alot of us women are enduring whether you're based 'back home' ama out in the West..ebu soma..

Poleni for the minimal amount of computer literacy - hence the entire www address above!

The thing is .. this is my 'beef'..

I really dont agree with the author stating that: " It becomes worse if you earn more than he does and insist on meeting him every other time at those expensive joints while criticising the places he loves.
Even when you move up, make sure you do not start criticising his way of dressing, expecting him to change and join you in the expensive lifestyle. The man is doing just fine as he is, so stop forcing him into a class that he does not belong to. "

Ebu can we try and be abit serious here. Ati insist on meeting him at expensive joints ?? Si the brother has an option not to meet her if he's 'intimidated' by being in an 'expensive' joint..there is no such a thing as forcing someone into a 'class he does not beong to' yani surely this is the point at which the brother either moves on up with his chick ama he gets steppin! In all seriousness..

I do agree that if the guy is earning less than you - its not really your place to go informing all and sundry - b'cs we all know the issues that guys have when it comes to chumes - ama?

But at the same time..I also think that guys need to accept that in this day and age - many women have really been striving to be serious achievers - and I believe that this had led to men feeling threatened. Because somehow it is like their position is being usurped. All I can say is 'big Up' to the men out there who embrace their higher earning parter - and can see what the potential for 'uniting together' would bring them. Pride aside my brodda!...
