• I dream of the day when these, the African mathematicians and computer specialists in Washington and New York, the African physicists, engineers, doctors, business managers and economists, will return from London and Manchester and Paris and Brussels to add to the African pool of brain power, to enquire into and find solutions to Africa's problems and challenges, to open the African door to the world of knowledge, to elevate Africa's place within the universe of research the information of new knowledge, education and information -Thambo Mbeki, former South African President
  • They therefore concluded that “the findings of this (and other) surveys indicate that coverage of Africa, by the leading sources of American media is, at best, dismissive of the continent’s progress and potential, and thus leading to continued ‘exotification’ and marginalization of the African continent. At worst, coverage disregards recent trends toward democratization, thus betraying an almost contemptuous lack of interest in the potential and progress being achieved on the continent.”

Bless you Women

A woman is = power that man doesn't have. When God made man, he didn't leave him alone, because He knew the man would not make it by himself. So, He made him a helper, a pillar - something that tilts and hold in place. A pillar holds in place the man - the head of the house. Yeah, you can not turn that head unless a woman says so..and that's what most men are scared of, including those in the government.

Now, women all over Kenya are made of different socio-economic backgrounds and education, careers, money and wealth do not come easy. To those who have all these in place. Kudos. To the rest - the majority, this is your day. Please do not give up. Proverbs 31: 28 says, "her children will arise and call her blessed' her husband also, and he praises her.

I take this opportunity too, to bless you the woman - the daughter that you are, that sister, that mother, that auntie, that grandma and that great grandma - I wish you well, and i know you will do well. May the opportunities come your way, as you reach out. May gladness fill your heart as you arise before the sunset. May your smile spread through to the rest of you - so when you walk, you are filled with godly radiance.

I wish you oh, beautiful woman, God's speed.
