‘CHOBO NA UA’ THAT LED TO OUR MASSACRE
By Brian Nzomo. There are many things I will live to regret about my childhood and one of those things is once playing a damned game called “chobo na ua”. This was one game not fit for the faint hearted, and I was a faint hearted demure boy. At first I was reluctant to joinContinue reading “‘CHOBO NA UA’ THAT LED TO OUR MASSACRE”
“DIS CONTRII DEY HOT OO”
By Brian Nzomo It is one of those afternoons in Campus, when you’ve got nothing to do. You are sitting calmly at a gazebo shade, enjoying the breeze. Then a girl comes and sits on the adjacent seat. She mumbles a hello. You mumble back one with an ephemeral smile. Then whip out your phoneContinue reading ““DIS CONTRII DEY HOT OO””
THE PHYSICS OF STEALING
By Brian Nzomo Stealing is a very complicated act. It infuses in different actors an amalgam of emotions ranging from guilt, mere satisfaction and profound pleasure. Its motives are innumerable; its consequences dependent on, what was stolen? Why was it stolen? And who exactly stole it?

THE MAGIC OF BUTT.
By Brian Nzomo Currently, there is one subtle religion rivaling Christianity in this country. Islam? No. It’s called Adonitology. The ass-worshipping cult. Ass? You mean donkeys? Don’t be stupid man.

THE LETTERS
By Brian Nzomo. Receiving a letter from a girl was an inestimable affair back in high school. Boys would brag all the time about being gangsta, but whenever those bits of colorful, scented letters arrived, all their macho personalities would dessicate; and they would be giggling like standard six pupils when they saw the firstContinue reading “THE LETTERS”
LET’S NOT THROW AWAY THE BABY WITH ITS BATH WATER.
By Brian Nzomo. It seems like the future of Kenyan football is becoming more dreary. FIFA banned us from participating in International fixtures. Power tussles simmering at the helm between the disbanded FKF and the ministry of sports have afflicted the sport incurably. FIFA condemns the suspension of the Nick Mwendwa federation, an entity thatContinue reading “LET’S NOT THROW AWAY THE BABY WITH ITS BATH WATER.”
YOUTUBE UNIVERSITY OF PUNJAB.
By Brian Nzomo. In Facebook, we jeer and taunt Indians for their egregious behaviors. Justifiably, they rouse irritation when they hit inboxes of random account users to request for nudes. Women are particularly irked by these characters. The Facebook Jagjit Singh is a disrespectful bloke who targets random women with his poorly constructed English. HeContinue reading “YOUTUBE UNIVERSITY OF PUNJAB.”
MY OLD MAN
By Brian Nzomo By the time I was in standard seven, there was no single moment my father had raised his hand on me.
