The Devil Allegedly Appears In A Church – And The Whole Church Disappears!

by: kiprono bethuel

Many of a Pentecostal church worshipers sustained minor injuries after a naughty 15-year-old boy caused a stampede.

The faithful bolted out of the church, falling over each other after the alleged rascal, hidden from their view, pretended to be ‘the devil’ and scared them stiff.
It all began after worshipers closed their eyes and began chorusing a prayer before the sermon could begin. The boy is said to have tiptoed and picked the extra microphone at the lectern before hiding behind two loudspeakers.
All of sudden, the churchgoers heard a booming voice with devilish guttural sounds rasping through the church public address system, announcing that they were now in hell and the voice speaking belonged to the devil himself.

After a loud silence rent the air, the ‘devil’ ordered all those who truly believe in God to raise their hands, to which none responded. Instead, everyone was looking at each other with fear written all over their faces.The ‘devil’ then announced that everyone sits down on the floor awaiting further instructions.
As the scared congregates shook and wet their pants, the pastor bolted out of the church at maximum speed before they followed suit.

The sudden frenzied rush, coupled with “shetani ashindwe” shouts, created a fine mess, making some of the faithful to think it was the much-talked about biblical end time.It was the sight of elders jogging away as fast as they could, women and children wailing for help with other scared worshipers fervently begging for mercy from the ‘devil’ that tickled the offending boy, making him to laugh uncontrollably.

It was then that the church technicians who maintain the music instruments realised they had been played.
They looked around only to discover the extra microphone was missing and suspected the offending character was hiding within the church. The technicians took to the pulpit and announced that the incident was actually a hoax.

At this point, those who had taken off and had been watching the drama unfold from a safe distance returned. The pastor took the microphone and began speaking in tongues and mumbling gibberish as if to curse the offending character.
“Raghashanda… ragalabanda… ropokolomashekele….,” the pastor went on as he denounced the devil, calling him a liar. “Riswa! Riswa! Shetani ashindwe!” he cursed.
As few brave members trooped back, the boy who was hiding between two giant speakers rose up still laughing off his head. He was almost roughed up, had it not been the timely intervention of older churchgoers who pleaded with angry parishioners.
They told them to forgive the boy for he didn’t know what he was doing. Meanwhile, in his defence, he claimed he was only testing the parishioners’ faith in God. The sermon went on uninterrupted afterwards.

RARE PHOTO OF LENA MOI AND NGINA KENYATTA

 By Dennis Rugiri.
 Kenya has had four presidents and that should mean having four first ladies since independence, right? However, many will tell you that they know three. The most known are: Mama Ngina Kenyatta, the wife to the founding president Jomo Kenyatta; the late Lucy Kibaki, wife to Mwai Kibaki; and Margaret Kenyatta, President Uhuru Kenyatta’s wife.

Ironically, the least known is the longest serving Kenyan president Daniel Moi’s wife (or rather ex-wife) – Lena Moi. This is understandable as their union ended before Moi got to State House. Moi and Lena wedded in 1950 at the African Inland Church mission in Eldama Ravine. He paid two heifers, one ox, and four sheep to Lena’s family as dowry. They then separated in 1974 and finalised divorce in 1979. Lena Moi was, however, accommodated in the family. Lena Moi died in 2004 and was buried in the former president’s homestead in Kabarak. Moi said he would be buried next to her “when time comes”, an indication that they could have reconciled.

REVEALED: Kapenguria Terror Suspect Hidden .

Police have taken drastic measures to avert any other attempt to rescue a terror suspect who was detained at Kapenguria Police Station last Week.

This comes after a rogue officer, Abdi Hakim Maslah, stormed the police station killing six of his colleagues in an attempt to rescue the suspect identified as Mr Omar Eumond.

Sources quoted by a local daily indicated that officers handling the matter were forced to move Mr Eumond to an unknown location at the neighbouring Uasin Gishu county.

According to the source who sought anonymity, there are fears that other rogue police officers who are terrorist sympathisers might attempt another rescue mission if the suspect is not highly secured.

The revelations came to light when Mr Eumond, a teacher by profession, was arraigned in court to face charges of terrorism.

The teacher was detained for a further 30 days to enable the prosecution complete investigations into the matter where he is accused of being associated with the Al Shabaab group.

The rogue officer who attempted to rescue Eumond was killed by Recce squad officers after a siege at the Kapengura Police Station that lasted for eight hours.

One of the Recce squad officers was also killed during the attack.

Reports indicated that Maslah was a disturbed man days before attacking the station.

Green light for new sports hall at Moi University main campus

By Kiprono Bethuel

-sports.uonbi.ac.ke

Moi University has been given the green light to create a sustainable sports hall at its Main campus, providing new indoor sporting facilities for students.
The Moi University governing council approved the proposals for the new building at a meeting on 7 July. Catering for a range of sports including netball, badminton, basketball and five-a-side football, it will become a central hub for the University's indoor students' sports clubs. Moi University's Sports and Active Lifestyles manager Dr. Mbuthia said creating the new facilities was part of the University's ongoing commitment to encouraging student participation in extra-curricular sport and recreational activities. "Improving the provision of indoor facilities, particularly through the development of an indoor sports hall, has long been an aspiration of the University," he said.
"The sports hall at Moi University will increase opportunities for student sport and create a fantastic new home for our indoor sports clubs that currently play out of non standard facilities.
The multi-use hall will be built with recycled and reusable materials and incorporate a host of energy efficient measures, such as a living wall of climbing plants and solar thermal panels to provide hot water for the showers. Local sports clubs will also be able to use the facilities by arrangement, when not in use by students.
Moi university deputy vice Chancellor, student affairs said: "We are delighted to be able to move ahead with this project which will provide the University with fantastic new indoor sports facilities. We look forward to delivering a high quality, sustainable and well-designed building which will be of huge benefit to our sports clubs and promote an active lifestyle for students and staff as well as benefiting the local community."
Construction work is set to start in early 2017 and is scheduled to be completed towards the end of that year.

 As member of COMESA, Kenya stands an excellent chance to take back markets lost to Egypt.

Whereas Kenya cannot replicate the beautiful & fascinating pyramids & ancient temples of Egypt, there is a market for tourists who want to enjoy the "Sun & Sand" and not Ancient History in a peaceful environment. It's a pity about JKIA but it should provide the impetus to expand Mombasa's airport to accommodate more flights direct from the tourists' source market.

Back to manufacturing. If Kenya can quickly create an inviting environment for increased manufacturing for export into COMESA, then that will serve Kenyans well for the future not only to counter Egypt but other countries including South Africa, China & India.

Egypt subsidized energy [electricity and fuel] for its export (including COMESA) markets but Kenya's focus on renewable [esp geothermal] energy will be a long-term advantage as Egypt faces hurdles in subsidizing energy for its population & industries. Subsidies will eventually fail and Kenya should stay away from these and concentrate on making the environment attractive for investors & industrial production.

Greece and the Kenyan economy

Greece and the Kenyan economy

I’ve just finished reading about the collapse of the Greek economy and what it will take to fix it. While Greece and Kenya are fundamentally different countries, I was struck by how well the author unpacked the underlying dysfunction of Greece as a country and an economy and how some of the issues apply to the Kenyan economy today.

Don’t have anything clever to add to the article’s analysis, just want to point out the things that stood out for me.

For starters, the author notes:

In a small-scale economy households make different choices from those in an economy of salaried employees and large organizations. The family will seek stability in polyergy: in having varied sources of income, as many as it can find and appropriate.

How many Kenyans do we know who have a side hustle? Banker by day, butchery/hair salon owner by side…. Even during the times we have experienced growth – it’s been a false growth, barely any trickle-down (hence Kibaki and his cronies shock in ’07 when his re-election wasn’t guaranteed based on economic growth).

Author goes on:

In a small-ownership economy household saving and investment is also different. It is channeled, quite rationally, into real estate and into education. In western economies savings are invested collectively through pension funds, mutual funds and bank deposits. They end up funding industry, technology, infrastructure, and in general, sizeable organizations. In the Greek micro-economy monetary savings have few reliable collective outlets.

Cue the ubiquitous Kenyan dream of owning a plot and investing in your kids education. NSSF is widely regarded as a rip-off, and other forms of investment and saving (e.g. stock market) are only taking hold fairly recently.

And does this sound all too familiar?

But clientelism and favoritism have been inherent in the modern Greek state since its inception, and the state has always been a major player in the economy. Distributing political rents was a necessary means of legitimation of politicians in the eyes of the electorate, and harvesting rents was a major egoistic reason for becoming a politician.

And wonder why we don’t hear of enough success stories from Kenyan entrepreneurs – very few can tell the story of how they got from A to point Z without some murky stories or connections in the middle – usually related to government connections or at minimum great skill at navigating the political rent space. Try pitching your open source solution to a government official, unlikely to move anywhere because no fat budget attached.

Business strategy: if businesses can make high profits from government contracts or from other privileges, they will invest more to gain the privileges than to become competitive in an open market. Over time this distorts their whole mode of operation: a good salesman is one who can build personal relationships with bureaucrats, a good engineer is one who can draw out a project to make it more expensive. It is rare for a state-dependent enterprise to be also competitive. This was true for the big so-called ‘national suppliers’, as well as for the small I.T. companies, in which many bright engineers wasted their youth working on useless R&D projects funded by EU Programmes.

And finally, I think this captures the essence of why I think it is – generally – tough to transition big/large scale companies successfully in Kenya and to translate the innovation that we see all around into tangible (profitable) businessess – we work hard, but are loathe to collaborate, because someone inevitably stabs you in the back and there is no penalty – legal or social (as in they’ll be catching pints next to you in the bar a week later as if nothing happened). So most of that innovation and entrepreneurship bubbling around either doesn’t transcend the individual or the small scale – you cannot grow in an environment that lacks trust or that is full of what the author calls low-trust opportunism (I am so adapting this phrase!).

Police Bosses to Head University Security Operations.

Interior Cabinet Secretary (CS) Joseph Nkaissery has announced a new strategy set to improve security in universities and secondary schools.

Speaking in Thika during Mount Kenya University's 10th graduation ceremony, Nkaissery stated that senior police officers would now be deployed to head security operations in universities.

According to the CS, the new programme in collaboration with the Ministry of Education would see every university assigned one police boss to oversee its security.

Additionally, the same arrangement would be extended to secondary schools where security will be manned by Officers Commanding Station (OCS).

"We agreed with the Minister for Education on having security officers attached to all learning institutions to specifically monitor security issues,” indicated Nkaissery.

The Interior CS asserted that the new measures were aimed at ending radicalisation in learning institutions and also stop rampant student unrest's witnessed year in year out.

"We know that radicalisation is taking place mostly in universities, so we want to put experts who will be able to help get the real root causes of the problem," added Nkaissery.

In the past, terrorist groups have targeted learning institutions especially universities with several students being arrested on suspicion of being affiliated with such outlawed sects.

Recently, a law student at Kabarak University was nabbed on his way to reportedly join Al Shabaab. Earlier in the year, a student at the University of Nairobi was arrested at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport while allegedly travelling to Libya to join ISIS.

Find Out Why Kenya Airways is Abbreviated as KQ and not KA.

At some point in time, one wonders why Kenya Airways is abbreviated as KQ and not KA.

Well, the abbreviation KA already existed before Kenya Airways took to the skies in 1977.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) which assigns codes to airlines and airports had given KA to Korean Air in 1969 when it was established.However, KQ traces its routes way before 1969 as it was birthed from the dissolution of East African Airways that operated between 1945-1977.

The EA airline that was jointly owned by Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania failed due to strained relations tying the three countries.Kenya Airways is now encompassed in a public-private ownership with the Kenyan government having the lion’s share.

The national carrier is currently pursuing a turnaround strategy that would return it to profitability after facing a turbulent past.

Two weeks ago, Tourism Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala and KQ’s Managing director and CEO Mbuvi unveiled Magical Kenya Branding on Dreamliner, B-787.The ceremony marked a partnership between the Tourism Ministry and Kenya Airways to increase passengers and boost tourism in the country.

Nairobi Roads to be Closed for 6 Days Next Week.

by Ndung'u Warui.

Following the upcoming United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) event to be held in Nairobi next week, police have released a list of roads to be closed for six days.

In a statement released by Nairobi Traffic Commandant Leonard Katana, the department announced that the roads would be temporarily closed from Sunday 6 a.m to Saturday 6 a.m.

The Central Business District roads scheduled to be interrupted include Harambee Avenue, Mama Ngina Street, Parliament Road and City Hall Way.

The Conference, which set to be held at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC), will also lead to the closure of Wabera Street, Taifa Road and Standard Street.

According to the traffic boss, motorists using these roads which he described as a 'Red Zone' would be diverted and only motorists with security passes would be allowed.

“All vehicles approaching the Red Zone will be diverted into other roads such as Haile Selassie Avenue, Kenyatta Avenue, Moi Avenue and Kimathi Street and proceed to their destinations,” read the statement.

Mr Katana further directed that all vehicles headed to or from the Rift Valley region to use the Southern Bypass to avoid congesting Uhuru Highway.

Nairobi is set to host 23 Heads of State and close to 7000 delegates during the event aimed at addressing the current global downturn in commodity markets.

In the recent past, city residents have had to bear with traffic disruptions owing to the visits by world leaders and top dignitaries attending major events in Nairobi.

The State has on some instances been blamed for failing to inform City residents on which roads would be inaccessible during such visits.

Turkey

If you’ve read reports about the recent bomb attacks in Turkey, you may be feeling apprehensive about the safety of the country, especially if you are preparing for a holiday there.

Turkey has fallen victim to a number of high-profile events this year, the most recent being an attempted coup on July 15. This situation is now calming, however, and flights to and from the country are returning to normal – although if you have a holiday planned in the coming days and are concerned, check the schedule and policy of your individual travel provider.

Despite this and other horrendous atrocities, The Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) has not changed its stance on Turkey and the vast majority of the country remains safe in the eyes of the government. This advice includes popular coastal resorts where the majority of tourists holiday in Turkey. Visitors to the coastal resorts do not fly through Istanbul or Ankara airports unless they have booked their own flights with a connection in those cities.

It’s vital to stress that the coastal resorts along the Med, where Brits who visit the country each year mainly travel to, are largely unaffected and are many miles away from the cities. In Turkey’s popular coastal resorts, such as Bodrum, Antalya and Fethiye, it is business as usual with tourism continuing on as normal.

If you are planning a holiday to Turkey, please check advice before travelling. More than 2.5 million British nationals visit Turkey every year and the vast majority of these trips are completely trouble-free

CHANGE OF LIFESTYLE IN CAMPUS

By Dennis Rugiri

Being a first year is always preceded by a variety of cultures and lifestyles. In Moi University what defines and redefines a 1st year is the dressing code and manner of articulation. Most of us always tend to run away from our normal way of life and on the process embrace and emulate what dressing code we have found in campus.
 
 Indeed it is said that if you go to Rome do what the Romans are doing. Yes, I don't oppose this but it is better to change with changes and this is an acceptable phenomena. However, majority of us tend to dig deep into the culture to a point where we find ourselves way out of the cultures and lifestyles in campus and in the process majority of students end up loosing their identity.

 

Kenyan Policeman,not al Shabaab,kills four policemen at Kenyan police station.

Our heroes at work

Contrary to earlier reports it has now been confirmed that it is a policeman that shot four other policemen at a police station in Kapenguria in northern rift valley Kenya.
Police constable Abdihakim Maslah attached to the police station tried to rescue the al Shabaab terrorist in custody. Maslah originally came from Kenyan country which borders Somalia, Garissa. He graduated from Kiganjo Police training college in 2013.
The police officer allegedly started shooting at his colleagues and boss at about 4 am. According to police sources the said terror suspect and teacher Omar Eumond, who was to be taken to court today, was alive and in the cells.
South Rift regional commissioner Wanyama Musiambo told a press conference in Kapenguria that he could not comment as investigations were ongoing.

Are Your Begging For His Attention?

danaisa23.deviantart.com

There you are desperately seeking for his/her attention. He/she knows very well that you won't quit because of your personal reasons that i deem them not ethical to mention. You are  a slave for your own decisions. But Why?
Everlyne Nyanchoka gives an account of her  slavery while he was in a relationship with Joseph Okaya. Okaya is a student in Moi University Main Campus Eldoret. He is the 'prince of grooming' in the university as students refer him. Yes, he is ever smart. He is always in his suit from Sunday to  Friday. His color blending talent adds him additional attractive feature. When in his bow-tie, one can never mistake him for an hustler.It his because of his abject love for gorgeous dressing and celebrity nature that Joseph was nicknamed O.K.
It was on one of the most treasured campus occasion "Freshaas nite" when Everlyne Met O.K. Both had attended the occasion on the basis of being inculcated in the Campus. "I was convinced with my friends to accompany them to the Student Centre that night. I wore my blue dress which i was told was the best for such occasion. And just before we entered the auditorium, we met this man and he was quick to greet us. He was in royal Blue suit, white shirt and Blue bow-tie" Everlyne narrates.
According to her, everything started there. O.K accompanied the 'friends' later to their room in hostel J. Everlyne's heart grew fonder every knew day with his campus lover.  Days became weeks, weeks became months, but months never came to be years.
six months later, "exposure" took most of O.K. By then he knew the university well. He was becoming a celebrity. He was making technical appearances whenever he felt he should see Everlyne. He was already finding his way out of Everlyne's life. It even reached a point where he told her to quit and find herself another man.

theodysseonline.com

Everlyne was depressed. " Death was my constant companion,  I never attended lectures for nearly the whole of second semester" She notes. She says she even made a point to meet with her mentor but still it was a hell to face the reality.
Everlyne's story reminded of some things we do in a relationship that jeopardizes future. Imagine a scenario like this;  you sleep while unhappy because your boyfriend quarreled with you that you don't call him yet he calls you only at night; You fear mingling with your friends because he always think they are your 'other' boyfriends; you sometimes don't go for lecture because he wants to be with you when he is not busy; you go to his church just to please him and NOT God; and perhaps you spend sleepless nights thinking of how he talks to you.
Do you think such character will marry you?
I'm told your partner should be your number one friend. He should never be your boss. The best marriages are made by friends, not masters and subjects. Yes he is the head of the family by default. No one disputes that.

abcsofanimalwolrd.blogspot.com

O.K was right because he meet Everlyne when she was desperately in need of love. He was also being stupid for awakening love in a woman with not intention to love.
Everlyne was also being ridiculous for building castle in the air. Begging for his attention should never be your alternative. Let him beg for yours. After all, he is just a boyfriend, not your husband. If his time has expired let him go for new things to happen in your life.

Man Discovers Grandparents’ 100-Year-Old Wedding Cake

It almost looks good enough to eat.

In March of 1915, when Inez and Harvey Warninger cut their wedding cake, they probably never thought it would still be around 100 years later for their grandkids. As tradition dictates, the couple carefully preserved the top tier of the cake to save for an anniversary. For whatever reason, they never ate it.

So imagine what a surprise it was for their grandson, Ronald Warninger, to stumble upon it on what would have been the year of their 100th wedding anniversary.

“It was kind of lost ... to find it again and on the 100th year was such a bonus,

He says the cake tier was passed on to his father by his grandparents and that, about a decade ago, his father took it out, only to find it was “petrified.” Ronald later found the cake in his father’s workshop desk drawer, when he was cleaning it out. He took it home and put it in a hatbox for safekeeping and forgot all about it until this year.

He was cleaning up when he stumbled upon the cake. “I was looking up on top of the shelf and there it was,” he said.
