This (Bikozulu) guy is hilarious. After a very boring Sunday waiting for the Spurs game, this is what I needed. Reading " This is Nyanza." Live Full Die Empty - Les Brown.

Oops missed some feedback: @bkismat howdy keeping well, distracted with investments... @kiterunner not the same person, and Muganda is just a handle, not my name @Mukiri have you read Chimamanda's Americanah, it has become quite the social statement to lug the book around. @Siringi his readers are very loyal.

His use of the word "donge" reminds me of Unbwogable. And this place Rusinga Lodge is quite probably one of the best in the country...

Always Loved Biko's writing.. He's brilliant! Other than his blog,I never miss his column in the Saturday & also in 'True Love'. It was sad to read his article which was a farewell to his Mum, never read a more eye opening yet deeper piece... Than man is super talented! Nevermind what haters say, ignore them til they fade away - Just live your life

Perhaps not necessarily split but federate with strong federal units that have a greater say in day-to-day affairs of their people. If you think about it, DRC is quite huge as a country, in fact we're often told it's bigger than Western Europe (at least the original 15countries or so). One can only imagine the challenges of adimistering such a huge and diverse region/country. Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

You know you are far deep in luo-land when a horde of shrieking and excited half naked luo children run after your car, wanting to touch it. By this time you will be too tired and too hungry to bother lifting your android phone to Instagram this moment. And whatever you do, donβt ask your hosts βarenβt these kids supposed to be in school?β Itβs brash. Itβs also none of your business. But should you feel you just have to (because you are one of those NGO types yoked with humanitarian piousness) you will be told, deservedly, that, β Luo children are born learned, they only go to school to calibrate their brilliance.β And you would have deserved that answer. - Read more

By the way, still on this far-flung business, there is a theorem Iβm turning over in my head; that the further a luo comes from an electric line, the more obnoxious and loud he is.
