I am Back!

Well, this blog may not have been updated and you may have been wondering where I went to.
See, from my last post, I have been very busy.
First I had to go convince my tribe why we should not vote for that guy from a "certain tribe". Even if that guy is better than the other one from the "other tribe" , their tribe is worse of than our tribe. See they occupy the same job that our tribe would have occupied, farm on the same fields that our tribe should farm on and eat the same food that our tribe should be eating.
That was an easy task given that most people from my tribe are lazier than those from the other tribe, and i had given them an easy tribe to solve their problems on. See, in Africa we solve problems using tribes, after all, they wouldnt be there if it wasnt for the other tribe.
My next task was now to instigate violence against the "other tribe". this task was even made easier by the "victory funds" from the big man. See, even the Bible says in Proverbs 19:4 that wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his nieghbour. You might even have seen people from my tribe uprooting the railway line on CNN. I managed to convince them that that metal path was a leading cause of Malaria and HIV/AIDS. Infact, cases of HIV/AIDS infections reduced that night due to a security crackdown, thus proving the railway line was infact a major cause of HIV/AIDS.People from my tribe became very angry when they saw our big man drinking tea and shaking hands with his enemy. "We fought for him, yet he goes and drinks tea with our enemy", they asked. What they didn't notice is that the cost of tea been drank was equivalent to what they earned in a week.
After the "Post election violence", i was busy fighting again for our tribe. We had to be represented in the 40 member cabinet of National Unity. From what I had heard, it was better to have 42 robbers from all communities in a grand robbery than have 24 robbers. 42 robbers would ensure that each community was fairly robbed.
Since then, rice prices at my nearby Supermarket doubled while oil prices now require calculators with more digits to calculate. This meant that we had to look for "the big man", but he couldn't be found.
Apparently, he had joined some other big people and they were now conducting a popularity poll on who was fit to speak before who. The media called it a protocol dispute or something. The poll was being conducted in several IDP camps.
I am typing this as i wait for the official results to be published.

I am back to my blog since I am a bitter man, after discovering that "my tribe" and "the big man" were very different things leading me nowhere.

I will be back, shortly

Beers in Kenya: A sober opinion

Note: This is a dated post and has since been mostly passed by events. SAB Miller beers including Castle and Peroni are no longer widely available in Kenya after their exist. Sirville Brewery was bought out by Brew Bistro before being permanently shut in a tax dispute. Kenya is a land of milk, honey, beaches and taxes. I have penned, or is typed, a newer post here .  Peroni - One of the best beers in Kenya. Did a taste of canned and bottled Italian, and bottled Tanzanian I like the tangy flavour and body in Tanzanian Peroni. The can is close. Heineken drinkers will like the Italian one.  I have had a short beer swigging stint in my life. It has however been long enough for me to share my opinion of Kenyan beer. Interestingly, over the course of sharing such opinions with other drunkards connoisseurs,  I have found that we all have different views as to what beer is the best, which one makes you too drunk, or which one gives one free, extra hangover for every ha...

Visiting Watamu

Getting to Watamu: Flight to Malindi Airport. Jambojet flies here and so do other airlines from Wilson. You'll then need a Cab to Watamu (KSh. 1,700 to KSh. 2,000 - many apps are inaccurate) or matatu just outside the airport (KSh. 100) SGR to Mombasa, then shuttle to Watamu. There are about 2 regular shuttles and they charge KSh. 1,500 to KSh. 2,000 one way  Bus to Watamu. Tahmeed and other buses operate regular schedules to Total Watamu  Drive: It's faster branching through Mariakani to Kaloleni then to Kilifi. The route through Tsavo is not any faster and has park fees. Takes 9 hours  Things to do  Beach Sunbathing : Watamu has some of the world's best beaches, with white sand. The left side from Watamu Village has a bay with shallow water during low tide,  you can wade and swim in the ocean even if you don't know how to swim! Ocean is warm in July - August but very windy. Watamu beaches have lots of seaweed but this shouldn't deter yo...

Nairobi's Top 4 Texas Brisket Places Reviewed and Ranked

Brisket on a bed of roast vegetables with barbecue sauce at Texas Brisket, Kikuyu  This review has been updated after a number of you suggested I try the brisket at County2County.  What's the best place to have Brisket in Nairobi? What's even brisket?  Brisket is one of the toughest cuts in a cow, from around the belly. It is so tough that it has to be smoked for about 16 hours to tenderise. But that there, is the catch.  12 to 16 hours later, it is the most flavourful and softest cut you will ever have. So full of flavour and so soft you can pick it apart with your fingers.  However, due to the long cooking time involved, only a few places offer brisket in Nairobi.  The best so far is Texas Brisket which is located within Kikuyu Railway station.  They do the meat for a proper 16 hours, and will usually have a fatty or non-fatty portion. The fatty portions are more tasty. A 500 gram serving goes for KSh. 900 and a 1 KG order comes with a serving of fre...

Beers of Kenya. The Ultimate 2019 Guide

Four years ago, precisely in 2015, I wrote about beer in Kenya in what has gone on to be my most popular post this year with more than 5,000 people reading it. It seems that there is a lot of interest in exploring beer in Kenya, which is understandable. The brewing sector has grown since then and we now have lots of options, which means it is time for another review. Back in 2015, Kenya had one major brewer - EABL/KBL, challenged by Keroche and Sierra which is more of a small volume craft brewer, and arguably Kenya’s first craft brewery. It had also been joined by Brew Bistro which mostly sells its malted stuff at its outlets in Nairobi and later by Sirville, a bar located at Galleria Mall. Sirville was later sold to Brew Bistro and converted to the latter for a while, before shutting down in what is alleged to be a tax dispute.

Why Humanity Hasn't Learned From the Covid Pandemic

In 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic began ravaging the world, succeeding the 1918 flu pandemic.  Many found it unbelievable that despite all the scientific progress that the world has made since 1918, from composite jets to modern healthcare to going to the moon, the world was still susceptible to a pandemic.  Ironically, some of these advancements largely played a role in the spread of the pandemic. Thousands of global flights every hour and air conditioning fanned its spread like a dry wind would in a forest fire.  There was even further disbelief in mid-2020 when it became apparent that many countries were even struggling to keep a pandemic in check. Developed countries, supposed to have the best healthcare, suffered the worst outbreaks amidst disagreements on measures such as quarantines and wearing of masks.  In yet another twist, technology advancement finally came to our rescue with the speedy development of vaccines, including the safe pioneering of never-tried-b...
