Thika Road circa 2030




Kenya has been headed for greater heights, ever since the coming of Barrack Obama. In fact, this product has been very helpful in marketing the country abroad,and in transformation of various places overnight. An example of such a place is Kogelo, which was considered to be so remote that the Rural Electrification Board did not cover it. Overnight, the sleepy village(as a journalist likes to refer to it[maybe one of those sex_for_jobs journalists]) has been transformed to a top priority electrification site, and has already been electrified.

Maybe, as we may be led to believe, it has nothing to do with Kenyan men spreading their fruits elsewhere(and bearing future senators). It may be as a result of a iRRI(intermittent Rapid Results Initiative. The RRI(iRRI), has been responsible for such other developments, such as Police riding in normal cars (other than mechanized carriages once known as Mahindra), disappearances of Maize stocks, Fuel disappearances, KPLC blackouts etc.

Amongst one of the best products of the iRRI, is the proposed Thika Road Expansion, as shown above. This Road will be complete by 2030. Phases in the construction of this road -needles to say- will be carried out intermittently, by Cowboy contractors. Phase one, which is complete, included creation of wide spaces next to the road in some select areas, such as "Roasters" and the "Roysambu" roundabout. due to the intermittent nature of this program, we do not know when the next phase will be carried out, but be assured, it will be soon and sudden. You can read the above brochure for further information.

EuroTrip: A Hot Summer in Munich

BMW Museum and BMW Welt from the Olympic Tower  This article is the second in a series of posts on visiting Europe. The first piece on planning a EuroTrip can be found by tapping or clicking here.  Western European countries are known to be cold, at least in Nairobi where I come from. But that was not the case when I walked out of KL1791 from Amsterdam into the Munich airport. I had to double-check my boarding pass on that early August morning in 2018 to ensure that indeed I had taken the right flight, into Munich. I mean, besides Delhi and its 40 degrees summer temperature, Munich at 35 degrees is the second hottest place I’ve been to on earth. In Nairobi, where I am from, 30 degrees is an exception and 32 degrees is pushing it. My next challenge, I was supposed to take a train to Hohenzollernplatz (Why does everything here have a long name?) but looking out of the airport terminal building, there was no train! And so I asked and was pointed down some stairs. I...

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...

WhatsApp Solution: Sorry we were unable to restore any of your message history backup

*This method only works if you are trying to transfer WhatsApp from one phone to another, and have not deleted WhatsApp data or formatted the old phone. If you already uninstalled WhatsApp and deleted data or logged into a different number, it won't work. If you get the “Sorry we were unable to restore any of your message history backup” when trying to restore your WhatsApp messages, trying to restore again from the same backup will probably fail. The issue seems to be caused by an issue with your backup file such as if you repeatedly tried to backup with internet connecting and disconnecting. 

The Stone Age

Examples of stone age tools used in current dcision making As I was walking along a certain street in Kahawa Wendani, i had to tread slowly on stones that had been laid on the road by a contractor who was paving the road on behalf of a certain supermarket. On a parallel street, another supermarket had paved the road all the way to its parking. This got me thinking that road construction has now turned from been a government affair to a private enterprise affair. I thought the reasons that private enterprises were now taking to pave roads is because of failure of state organs to do their jobs.This is because the concerned state organs are stuck in a stone age. Wikipedia defines "stone age" is 'The Stone Age is a broad prehistoric time period during which humans widely used stone for toolmaking'. For this article, we shall define the stone age as a current time frame during which humans widely use stones for decision making or exist in an environment similar to one expe...
