For Christ sake, it’s a prayer not a shouting match

Praise the Lord good people. God is good, all the time. Now that we have that out of the way, let’s talk about holy noise.

An open letter to campus girls

I am sorry I cannot sum up the courage to walk up to you and spew all the spiel I have in mind for you. I am, therefore, using this medium, hoping that at least, you read newspapers. That plus the fact that I have never been so angry as to pick up a cane over a quill.

National Snooping Agency

Relationships in campus nowadays are about validating each other’s existence. This is a far cry from the days when dating in campus was like a marriage

Of casual sex and morbid fear of HIV tests

Sex is a way of life in campus. At any given time in universities, there is a student getting laid. So popular is the activity, that there are certain unwritten rules.

Parents, anyone selling KCSE leakage is a con

I didn’t quite catch her name, so let’s name her Doreen. I met Doreen outside our campus gates, distraught, cheated. She let me in on a tale that left me all jumbled up on emotions, not knowing whether to laugh at her or offer her a shoulder and say; “There there… take it easy, child.”

Friendship and amity worth fighting for

Money equals power, and power corrupts absolutely. In my campus, and virtually almost all public universities I know, money has been known to rip the bonds of friendships asunder.

I can’t help laughing when a pretty campus girl falls

Is it gentlemanly to laugh at a lady, especially if she is the talk of the campus and she falls right on her bum?

When your best friends stabs your back

This whole thing about being cheated on by your best friend is getting too old. It is a relationship relic that has outlived its time. A friend planting a knife on one’s back is a story that has been retold in so many versions that it has lost its sheen. It is so stale that it has grown moulds. But then time and time again, we are thrilled at ordeals of friendships broken, trust bludgeoned and honour ridiculed — often by the last person you would expect.

Of VAT’s spilt milk and death of romance in campus

Sometimes we like pointing fingers at Cupid for love affairs going sour, because, honestly speaking; he can be really irresponsible when he chooses to. Such are the times when you feel like he threw a hunting knife at your chest, rather than the magical love arrow. Well, as I said, this only happens sometimes.

If future intellectuals can’t flash a loo, who will?

I understand this is a family paper, thus there is need to control the content published here. However, there are certain things we must just talk about.

Don’t envy anyone’s fake papers, you can as well buy yours

In all honesty, I do not think that the recent case concerning Governor’s Joho was brought up because of the whistle blower’s conscience. I doubt his intuition wouldn’t let him sleep if he hadn’t tarnished Mheshimiwa. I mean the guy has been a public figure for so long, and his records have been in the public domain for ages. So it begs the question, why now? Why didn’t he air out the dirty garments during the nomination’s process?

Parents, this is how students blow pocket money

In high school, our mathematics teacher who doubled up as our games master, once warned us against pool game. He alleged that pool is not a sport. And I thoughtlessly listened, until I joined campus and realised the advice he gave us was birdfeed.

Education system churning out zombies

The 8-4-4 system is a prison really. It never quite develops or inspires anyone’s mind, but stuffs their heads with ideas.

This is a brothel, so sheath up freshmen

It is easy to spot the new kids on the campus block, otherwise known as freshers. They walk with a cloud of fear and naivety that make them stand out from a crowd like a sore thumb.

Exam cheating? Even our parents did it!

Sankara shocks mum with choice of course

W hen our parents say that we could become anything, they meant you could be the President, engineer, lawyer or doctor. However, they never meant that you could become a poet, dancer or photographer. In their minds, they spend immoral monies to send you to schools with yellow school buses, so that you can make it big. What they do not realize is that their idea of making it big is totally different from what ours are.

Getting knocked up the campus way

I always get tickled by the varied reactions of comrades whenever a girl in campus walks by, heavily laden with a baby growing steadily inside her protruding belly.

Swag is the latest scandal in town

Swag is the confidence to put on something really hideous and then labelling it as cool. I have a seething contempt for the current fashion trends that dudes are embracing. Maybe I am just stuck in the old ages.
