You, You, You and You, Yes You! Whatever you are going through, Iknow, Whatever you are thinking about now, I know, Whatever you are worried about in life, I know, But how did I know? I am I a genius? Am I omniscient, omnipresent or.. All knowing?- No! I will tell you how- it is because I know that you know not,  That I know that which you know you know! See, I know that you are worried about your next meal -  high cost of living See, I know that you are worried about your next employment opportunity, I know that you are scared about the rising taxes in our society, I know that you are worried about the growing wage bill in our economy See, I know, I know that you are worried about the growing insecurity, I know that you are worried, but you dare not speak, I know that you are silent because you are a coward! Because you can afford a meal and fuel to fuel your car, Because you know care less about the whereabouts of your neighbour, Becaus...

Are you a man, or so it is said. Not because you are manly, but because of what you do Well, see, which man on earth washes dishes, If not a wo-man? -Mume bwege Which man in his right mind, washes out his baby’s poop In the presence of his woman? Which man/boy goes searching for firewood, Akisingizia ‘her woman is busy?’ Hahaha, inaitwa kukaliwa Which man goes shopping for the family rather than send her woman? Let me tell you today and take it to the bank, No man does that… Unless he is a real man, A gentle man. They say gentlemen don’t exist, I say they are rare, and that’s why, They are called gentle While average men have five senses, and women six, Real men, gentle men have seven - au sio? So, how gentle are you to be called a man?

Every day as the sun rises from the east, Verily my hope shine to my feet Resting upon the beautiful scene of its rays, Enemies fall to the brightness on my  face Satanic powers forever shall obey, for The Lord has brought me a new day When they slept I put my best effort And maximised on what they saw as waste Never leaving chance for speculation Great be the name of the Lord Oh yes, I made it once again Young and strong I grow everyday As a miracle destined for doom Soon everything comes to life Enjoying the beauty of the rising sun, Never again shy of the dwindling darkness In power the sun rules the day O'er powering silence and inactivity, and Receives praise and Honour among men.

My interaction with different brands over the past few years has brought to my attention a few matters of interest that marketers, managers, business owners and Product/service often overlook. Based on the varying levels of organizations and institutions, these matters affect each institution differently and have different outcomes, Individually, or when combined. I give a closer look at some of these matters that you are probably not doing right, and are probably the reason you are making minimal progress in your campaigns. Branding. Product Presentation.  This plays around with the visual judgement of the buyer. As a seller, Marketer or product owner, you need to ask yourself a few questions before releasing your product to the market; Is your product clean and presentable to you? does it attract you compared to competing products? Would you buy it if you were the customer? Always take the customer's position before releasing your product, and if your answer is NO to...

There are a group of youthful men snatching unsuspecting commuters of their phones and valuables abord PSVs on our roads. The men step into moving vehicles especially from town towards Jogoo road as conductors are busy collecting bus fares from passengers aboard, and usually at the back of the bus. One might be tempted to think they are ‘assistant touts’ or ‘co-touts’ to the one already onboard, especially if and when your bus only has one at that time To them, two minutes is just too much time for them to plan, skim, and execute their mission and drop off the moving vehicles. They are very good at skimming their targets and are mostly interested in valuables such as phones, tablets, watches, etc. that the unsuspecting travelers carry in their hands while seated. It is always difficult to tell whether they are true conductors or muggers, reason being they are either dressed in a similar manner as the true touts, or the touts are dressed in a similar manner to them. Anyway, who dare...
