the right time to tell this highly anticipated saga. I was sitting on a squeaky stool and as I was slowly balancing myself on the stool trying to position myself well, one of my most precious body parts happened to be squeezed by the stool so har

Today we can have similar stories as people will be trying to copy her to get the same type of fame. But Mrs. Macron shall be remembered for nurturing her own student to become one of the most powerful men on earth. Who else can claim to have natured his or her student to that level? One thing

. I wonder why they should only refer to eating and not even writing, or if not that something else reasonable in this life. My fortunate black long left hand is not only for eating. Honestly, without any reason to cheat, I do very many good, bad, great, mighty, minor, useless and useful things using the same hand, even cleaning myself using the tissue paper in the convenience after a long call. Again, this mighty or rather useless human life so much extends further beyond eating. But worry not. I am, as an individual and without any fear or favour, so much proud to be a referred to as a common leftist, the only leftist in this area. Barack Obama, the most superior ever United States president who is a husband to one, for sure, and a father of two beautiful daughters, is left-handed as I am. Uhuru Kenyatta, the Kenyan president who was elected three times to

the country. Some of the sons were Mulata, Kaseve, Ndumbi, Kathatu and Wee. But this was supposed to be ignored for the benefit of the white man's religion. Mulata was believed as the place where the devil had his roots. That huge rock was the devil's seat, according to the new white man's religion. So for the good of the human race, all the widows were supposed, with immediate effect, according to the African routine, to get themselves husbands and life would continue smoothly as before. Nobody was complete by himself. Everyone needed a helper, however smart he was. When the white man came, they said that the only reason as to why their God killed their husbands was to take their wives and marrying again was going against the law of God. If God had seen a beautiful lady, He had by all means to take her, that was the European view, which was implanted to Africans by force, after which it became the norm in African communities and nobody would question it. He who believes without seeing is blessed. Who was ready to let that blessings go? The African view was totally different. When Mulungu, the almighty, the Supreme Giver, separated you from your lovely husband, it meant that you were too special to allow him waste your time-it is true th

After the other mouse coming, he would be left alone as his friend got busy with the other mouse-that other mouse was of more importance than him, perhaps; the head of a dog is better than the tail of a lion. But he had no option. He had to bear all that; the sun will always shine even when it meets the daylight. It has a duty to just do that, it doesn't look when it rises. Day after day, the routine was the same. His mother could go out every morning expecting to get a job which would earn her a few coins which they would use to purchase some food that would sustain them that very evening . The evening would appear long if she missed the job which was not guaranteed. Her son had not yet secured a job which

The sun pumped all its energy and its partner could not give back the same. They separated. The young man was helplessly sitting on the dusty verandah curiously waiting for his dear loving and industrious mother to come home, as a routine. Her time to come back home was already past but she had not yet shown up and there was no sign. What might have happened to her? That was her first day
