HOW WILL YOU BE REMEMBERED ?


 Last week I attended a funeral service back in my village and there was some that was going through mind , how will they eulogize me when my time comes ?

I discovered that all the things we do in life are just meant to make us look good when we die.

All the people we, the jobs we do, how we educate our kids and also how we treat ours spouse.

Now, as I continued to listen to the eulogy, I realized that no one was saying anything negative about the dead . So was he a saint ? No. He was just a normal person that treated his closest friends nicely. 


Today I want to ask you, how will you be remembered when you leave this world ?

Coming from the service, I was listening to Tabu Ley and the song playing was "Mokolo Nakokufa" or the day I will die. 

He sings how his wife will miss him and also how he won't be able to attend the Africa Fiesta.

That aside, looking how you live, do you think that the guys you drink with will tell something good about aside from how you used to chafua meza or how you liked petite girls ?

How will your boss remember you ?

Will he remember you as someone he/she wanted to keep or someone who always caused trouble in the workplace ?

How will your siblings remember you ?

Will they remember how you talked behaved them or how easily forgave them when they wronged ?

Will your parents describe you as their pride or will they be at ease now that you are gone ?

How will your wife remember you ?

Will she miss the love you showed her or will she be finally free from fighting side chicks daily and cleaning clothes that you vomited on ?

Will your kids really miss the moments you shared together or will they be just fine because you were never in their lives ?

As you continue with your life, these are the questions you ask yourself.

Have created enough good memories that people will still be talking about long after you're gone ?

Do you think the life you live is worth mentioned at your funeral service when you die because at some point we will all die ?

How many will describe you as their support ?

How many will be happy now that you are gone ?

Do you think that your funeral service will be presided over by your pastor or your family will have to pay for someone to preside over ? 

What is your relationship with God ? That is what matters at the end of our lives . 

Be nice to people even if they can't help you, don't judge others when you know you don't like to be judged.

Cherish your life and live rightfully.

Let's live a life to be remembered.

               RAILA AND CURSE OF OPPOSITION IN KENYA. There is this one country in the world where no matter how people vote, they will never have an opposition leader. This literally means that the cries and pleas of the minority will have no one to articulate them to the ruling government. That country is..... Oooh, did I just hear you say Kenya ? That's right, the country is Kenya. Since gaining independence in 1963 , the country has never had a serious opposition despite having strong "opposition leaders" over the years. We can only have notable mentions like the Late Martin Shikuku and Keneth Matiba. It's either because of the totalitarian regime or to others reasons only known to the leaders. The  constitution spells out clearly that after the general election, the runners up of the presidential seat shall form the opposition which then will help citizens in keeping the government in check. This has never been the case here. The only time we can feel like the o

 WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF GEN ZS. Yesterday's protests sent out warnings to the tribal kingpins who have been using tribes as a way to lead that come 2027 things will be different. And today was also  the same in Mombasa.  Let's wait for tomorrow where the ''finals'' will be held in Kisumu. The protests were led by the '' Young Kavirondo Tax Payers Association ''  popularly known as  Gen Zs who went out on the streets to protest against the proposed finance bill. This pushed the government to the extent of revising the bill or rather removing the decoy in the form of 16% VAT on bread What I found inspiring about this is that social media plays a big role in the mobilisation of youths. This is a different generation of people who according to them, they know their rights. The worst is to come in 2032 when the Alphas and the Gen Zs come together to create a very courageous force that cannot be bribed with fifty bob. The protests were a blessing to B

 WHY ODM IS JOINING RUTO TO SURVIVE. First, ODM was a national party, with 8 tribal representatives from 8 now scrapped provinces. At coast, it was Najib Balala, now coast is gone, it doesn't belong to ODM. In central, it was Joseph Nyaga, central nologer thinks ODM. In Eastern, it was Charity Ngilu. Eastern went away with Kalonzo. In western, it was Mudavadi, now in government, and western is gone with Ruto. In rift valley, it was Ruto, now president. Gone forever. In Nairobi and Nyanza, Raila roared. He never roars in Nairobi. Even his Nyanza turf is now a shell of the past.  ODM has remained a luo party, and not all Luos ascribe to ODM. That's one reason ODM must join Ruto to survive. And since Ruto helped create ODM, Ruto will finish ODM completely.  ODM has been surviving and reinventing itself through demonstrations. It's leader, Raila Odinga, is the sole force to sermon demonstrations, and religiously, both educated and uneducated, heeds his call and comes ou
