who ever remembers that famous white lie that your parents told you when you were a kid that babies are bought in the store just you as you would buy a bicycle or a lawn-mower? well if you do, that tells me that you belong to a different generation because as of yesterday monday 20th news reports from Kenya, kids these days have figured what it really takes to make a baby.
what an embarassment! what a travesty it is the way the media treated the issue. i mean you would think that in Kenya 10 year olds have babies every day because there was no mention of who could have done this to the poor little girl and neither was the fact that a crime was obviously commited. this is a sad day for Africa and it ranks up there with the poor child that was photographed starving and dying as a vulture waited by only that this is a tragedy that we have visited upon ourselves.
it is going to take aeons of us whinning and blaming outsiders for the misery that we are in unless we start looking at the mirror. it is going to take us coming into terms with hard facts that the high level of corruption from the lowest level of our most of our establishments to the highest achelons probably....just probably has something to do with the poverty that we (African nations) wallow in. it is going to take some straight talk for us to pause and thing "may be our lifestyle has something to do with high number of AIDS cases amongst us".

Found You!!!
I started this blog and i thought to myself i was going to stay focused and make it a meeting point for a number of people but then the captain lost his ship! i forgot what the url was!
so i am surfing the web reading other people's blogs and i was going to post a comment when i realized that to do so, you have first to have registered. but it turns out that when i started my blog, i defaulted my log-in information to be pre-filling itself on my computer. so BOOM, and there pops out my good old blog. i now have the web address saved in my favs. so don't you worry, reader... i am not abandoning you, not anymore.
