Couch Potatoes

A  r ecent research has shown that many young people worldwide are opting for internet-related jobs. This includes jobs like influencing, digital marketing, or remote jobs. They argued this generation is lazy and would rather spend a whole day surfing on the internet than working. This research must have been carried out by African parents, who think the internet is a waste of time, part of which is true even though the internet has not failed to prove itself useful. Parents are mad because this is that one thing, they have failed to control. They are jealous our life is much better and full of fun compared to their 80s. They seem to not accept that you can learn about what is happening in Iran without watching Aljazeera. Have you tried watching world Today? You will get depressed; all they talk about is which western country should host Afghan immigrants. Sharing people like a bunch of bananas. Imagine listening to that for two hours, sick. This is why the youth prefer T

Happy feast (Eid Mubarak), so this is how good holidays feel on a weekday… we should have more of these. Thanks to the cold I am feeling old, I am on my tenth cup of tea, taking a lot of tea is a sign you are getting old.   It is not aging that I am afraid of, it is peeing. Do you know how many times old people wake up to pee at night?   I would hate anything to disturb my sleep. Holidays are for the working group, the rest of you every day is a holiday, count me out, or you don’t think writing is work, not that am complaining. If you want to give us a holiday, do it like the Muslims, they do not spend all their holidays in one month, see after Ramadhan they remember they will get tired of waking up and decided to spare one day, that was kind of them. Like the Christians, I think Christmas should not be followed by boxing day, it is a waste of holiday, you people receive no gifts, the day should be somewhere in January, at least people can take a break from the long month.

The drama continues, not all women are Jaber

PHOTO COURTESY() I would love to start off by asking how you have been but honestly, we do not care every man for himself.   As a nation we have been through enough trauma already, whatever state you are in is allowed, feel sad, moody, depressed, or even victorious like the UDA supporters in Kiambaa, am not into politics, leave it at that.   The hysteria caused by Caroline Kangogo was unnecessary, we were all afraid she would come after us even though many of us did not know her until recently, why would she even want to kill you? I blame it on the media, those people can really magnify issues did you see the headlines? They even had to bring Onyancha up to make it even scarier, ‘TWO SERIAL KILLERS ON THE LOOSE’. Every time our grandmothers see headlines like these, quickly they kneel for prayers, if by any chance your grandmother is Catholic like mine, she shouts ‘ MARIA’ to mean (mother of Jesus protect us) every time killers are mentioned and it works. Now that the killer
