NOSTALGIA OF THE WICKED : HIGH SCHOOL CLUBS – A REMINISCING OF THE MUNDANE.
By Brian Nzomo. *Sigh. I don’t think there were any entities as obtuse as clubs and societies in high school. And to imagine one was forced to join or participate in them (at most 2 clubs). An ordinary punk like me could not join either the St. John Ambulance or the Scouts club. These wereContinue reading “NOSTALGIA OF THE WICKED : HIGH SCHOOL CLUBS – A REMINISCING OF THE MUNDANE.”
MAADILI LUMBWI – MIHEMKO YA MAADILI YENYE NYENZO ZAKE KATIKA DINI.
Na Brian Nzomo Kuna suala zito sijapata kuelewa vyema katika mfumo wa maadili ambao Wanadini hufumbata. Wengi wao wameamini kuwa maadili, utu na urazini umekopolewa katika uaminifu wa miungu na vifungu vya maagizo viaminiavyo walitukabidhi ili pasiwe hekaheka yoyote au mkwaruzano baina ya binadamu. Ila kuna masuala kadha wa kadha ningependa kusaili kuhusu imani hii.Continue reading “MAADILI LUMBWI – MIHEMKO YA MAADILI YENYE NYENZO ZAKE KATIKA DINI.”

PASTOR FRANCIS MUSILI- THE REDEMPTION OF OUR CARNAL SUSCEPTIBILITIES.
By Brian Nzomo. Only those with cavalier attitudes did not get to witness the real events behind the Enziu river tragedy. And only those with no spiritual foresight will condescendingly mock our good, tax-exempt, Elianto-ordained man of god. Musili is not a noob when it comes to matters demons. He has for the past twoContinue reading “PASTOR FRANCIS MUSILI- THE REDEMPTION OF OUR CARNAL SUSCEPTIBILITIES.”
