Mwobobia's Roundup

ACADEMICS AND CREATIVE ARTS WORK TOGETHER; REFLECTIONS FROM KENYA. Did/do you know that Nameless started off as a full-time singer. As he hit 30, he concentrated on architecture and maintained music as a lucrative side hustle; he has heavily invested in the real estate and tech industry. Frasha of P-unit used music as a launching pad into politics, he was working as a Physiotherapist with a specialization in pain management at Aga Khan University Hospital- the man has a diploma in orthopaedic Technology from KMTC and a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the prestigious University of Lahore in Pakistan. Mong'are, KJ, and Chipukeezy started off as goofy comedians but now are in top corporate jobs and into politics. I recall the shock on Kenyans when they realised that the ashy-looking MCA Tricky was graduating from Kenyatta University with a second class upper division degree in Mechanical Engineering. ⅔ of Elani are advocates of the High Court and actually practising. B'Rei...

  TO GET THE COVID JAB OR NOT? To be honest to God, I am on the fence regarding getting this COVID-19 jab, not because of any crazy mushroom-inspired conspiracy theories, but just from the simple fact that what I learned in school on vaccine development is not quite lining up with what we have now in syringes. The development of a vaccine takes years of trial-and-error studies in-vitro, and in vivo in Guinea pigs, in a select population of humans to look for ADE/ADRs, then and only then is it approved and deemed safe for the general population. I have my reservations on if the protocol was followed...but science is all about experimentation and trials, if we have to secure the future and ensure that life gets back to normal in the next 3 years, we must volunteer to have the vaccination to ensure we reach herd immunity levels- this will protect our children, pregnant women and the elderly who cannot receive the vaccine as it is. In conclusion, I will not tell you to receive nor to r...

  Fat Pig with no Dick( part one ): I am an unorthodox preacher and crazy scientist, the Bible backs me up in Proverbs 19:2 which says this “Desire without knowledge is not good.....", So in this age having the knowledge and information makes all the difference in living a productive and healthy life. It is my responsibility as a Health-worker to disseminate knowledge to help my people live healthier lives, as part of my 40th birthday, I will be biased and post topics on men's health...so my lady fans bear with me love you " A man's sexual organ is penis and a woman's sexual organ is brains."~DK Statistically, fat men have way smaller penises and lower testosterone levels than slimmer men, that is science and it is a reality, let's not get into a dick-measuring contest. There is an obvious link between belly fat, levels of testosterone and the size I.e. length/girth of a dick, and even duration and strength of an erection in men. This scientific fact inf...

  VISION AND FORESIGHT: INGREDIENTS FOR SUCCESS IN LIFE. As I am getting older, I'm constantly reflecting on my own life as seen the mistakes that I made as a young man, some of these mistakes are still haunting me even now and it is expensive and energy-sapping to reverse many of them..and probably will never reverse them in this lifetime. We make mistakes in life often because of ignorance of how life works. As a Christian, the Bible is full of wisdom and teaching of how one can avoid life's pitfalls...but we never read the Bible for ourselves, that is where the problem starts. "Therefore, it will be night (tragedy) for you without vision, And darkness (cataclysm) for you without foresight.."~Micah 3:6 AMP. Vision as a verb means "To imagine something as if it were to be true.", The same word as a noun means "A goal towards which one aspires." Foresight is a noun that means "The ability to foresee or prepare wisely for the future." When...

  THURAKU MENTALITY: THE WOODEN AXE THAT CUTS DOWN THE FOREST. I hear some folk say that the economy is not bad; I hear them say that it is Kenyans that are not entrepreneurial. My friend the economy is in the toilet, UhuRuto regime has overseen looting and mismanagement of the economy. It has sponsored the stealing of state coffers; it is a heartless regime buoyed to power by tribalism. I never voted for it, in fact, I publicly campaigned against it to a point that some very "good" friends blocked me for going against the grain in Meru and the Mt Kenya region. Now in Meru town and Makutano, 60% of tenants have defaulted on rent for their shops and businesses for 3-6 months!, Landlords to have defaulted on bank and Sacco loans, I am on the ground and I know firsthand as a stakeholder in this sector. I hope Kenyans will learn not to vote for their leaders based on tribe/clan basis, right now the poverty decimating the Kenyan Central province is is tear jerkin, in Murang'a ...

  A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF CORRUPTION IN KENYA AND HONDURAS As I watched Mwambia's Exposé on Citizen TV, it surprised me that Kenyans were hypocritical enough to appear surprised and worried. A majority of us have known for a long time that some elements in the police and military are corrupt, unpatriotic and dirty, they are involved in cattle rustling to sustain their interests in the beef/butchery industry, constant tribal clashes in North Rift, Upper Eastern and North Eastern Kenya, they are stakeholders in drug trafficking, poaching of endangered animals, arms trade, election rigging, and are key stakeholders in assassination and murder industry. It is apparent the Kenyan elite is taking good notes (and even using soft-copy notes) on how to perfect the art and science of destroying a country via blatant looting and stealing of state coffers, impoverishing the masses and being patron saints to poverty. Politicians steal ⅓ of Kenya's annual budget, in Honduras, their politician...

  MY LESSONS FROM PERSONAL FAILURE I vividly recall this dark day, I was walking out of a serious grilling by a panel of top Kenyan researchers. It was on 20th September 2018. The venue is National Commission for Science, Technology and Innovation (NaCoSTI ), I was one of the 8 candidates in Kenya that were fortunate to have been shortlisted for the four Research Officer vacancies at the prestigious institution. Long story short is that I failed the interview flat, I wasn't prepared at all for such an interview, with just my undergraduate degree I was competing with two guys with Master's degrees and one was even a PhD candidate!. I have never been so blank in my life; we started off with a data analysis practical exam; I failed it flat; I didn't know/and still don't know how to use statistical software to view and manipulate data, in the oral phase of the interview I really tried but I knew my fate was already sealed and the goose was already cooked, no miracle by whic...
