Charles Dickens fought his depression by walking through London at night. One October he set out at 2 in the morning and walked 30 miles, all the way to his country home in Kent. In 1860 he wrote about why it worked. It took psychology another 150 years to catch up. Dickens called his bad spells "spectres." They came back every time he started a new novel and sometimes hung on for months. His mood would fall apart, his sleep would collapse, and the only thing that pulled him out was walking. He explained his method in an essay called "Night Walks," published on July 21, 1860 in his weekly magazine All the Year Round. He had tried fighting his insomnia from bed and lost. So he changed the plan. The fix, he wrote, was "getting up directly after lying down, and going out, and coming home tired at sunrise." A worried mind cannot fix itself by worrying more in bed. You have to get up and move. Most nights he walked 12 to 20 miles. A friend called it "viole...

“Is Gulf abroad?” My beloved, yes, most definitely. I’m often amazed when people speak of “Gulf” like it’s a single country, sweetheart, no! A kasmall Google search will show you the truth: The Gulf is a region, not a country. It consists of several nations, each with unique laws, cultures, and even different time zones! Let’s break it down like this: The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are: 1. United Arab Emirates (UAE) – GMT+4 2. Oman – GMT+4 3. Qatar – GMT+3 4. Saudi Arabia – GMT+3 5. Kuwait – GMT+3 6. Bahrain – GMT+3 So, no, Gulf is not one big country. It’s a cluster of nations in the Middle East, each ruled by monarchs. There’s little room for diplomacy because these are not democratic states. It’s monarchy all the way, some more open, others more restricted. And just to make it clear: If you left your home country, flew out of your continent, crossed oceans and time zones you, my dear, are abroad. In the diaspora. In a foreign land. Next time someone says “uko Gulf” lik...

1. Bana g-strings can circumcise you but no one is saying anything. Then some lace panty is worse. It identifies a zone in your generous anatomy, grabs a chunk of your flesh and refuses to let go so you are now walking in zigzag 2. Dreams require delusion and audacity   3. Wamesema niwaambie mwache kusema harder harder, juu hawajawahi tuambia tighter tighter. 4. Grief has no shame nor does it adhere to schedules. It erupts in the most unconventional places. One day it caught up with me in a matatu; another time in the middle of a writing workshop. 5. When I started writing ten years ago, people here gave me so much psyche. Nowadays social media is a landmine. Watu ni wakali ajabu and it is like we have regressed to mchongoano.  Mammito put a gym photo recently and someone commented about her pelvis area, saying only serious inches can manage it, and he got 1000+ likes. How did we get to this level of comfortable with opening our mouths like that? I see comments on ...

The average healthy adult, asked to run as hard as they can for one mile, finishes in about 9 minutes. That same speed, you’d guess, is roughly what your body can sustain. Sabastian Sawe just ran 26 of those miles back to back, and each one took him 4 minutes 33 seconds. That is not jogging speed. That is sprint speed for most of us. He held it for 1 hour and 59 minutes and 30 seconds, and he was actually getting faster at the end. Your body has three knobs that decide how fast you can run for a long time. The first is how much oxygen your lungs and heart can deliver to your muscles per minute. Scientists call this number VO2 max. A normal adult sits around 30 to 45. A fit recreational runner gets to 50 or 60. Elite marathoners are at 70-plus. Sawe’s is in that range. The interesting part isn’t the number itself, it’s what percentage of that ceiling he can hold for the full race. In a 2020 study of the 16 best male distance runners on earth (commissioned by Nike’s Breaking2...

 “A man who calls his kinsmen to a feast does not do so to save them from starving. They all have food in their own homes. When we gather together in the moonlit village ground it is not because of the moon. Every man can see it in his own compound. We come together because it is good for kinsmen to do so”.  Chinua Achebe, Things Fall Apart

 “I am looking for friends. What does that mean - tame?" "It is an act too often neglected," said the fox. "It means to establish ties." "To establish ties?" "Just that," said the fox. "To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world.... Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

  One day a man said to God , “God, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like.” God showed the man two doors. Inside the first one, in the middle of the room, was a large round table with a large pot of vegetable stew . It smelled delicious and made the man’s mouth water, but the people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons with very long handles and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful, but because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths. The man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering. God said, “You have seen Hell.” Behind the second door, the room appeared exactly the same. There was the large round table with the large pot of wonderful vegetable stew that made the man’s mouth water. The people had the same long-handled spoons, but they were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking. The...

The story behind it is an interesting one though. How many of you know what this is called? Most of you will say bubble wrap. Some will call it stress relief. But if you asked the two engineers who invented it in 1957, they would have told you: "It’s a failure." Alfred and Marc didn't set out to protect your fragile electronic packages. Far from that. They wanted to be interior designers. They had this brilliant idea to create 3D Wallpaper. They thought the world was tired of flat, boring walls. So, they glued two shower curtains together, trapped some air in the middle, and told the world, "Look! We've invented trendy walls!" The world looked, and then the world walked away. Nobody wanted to live in a house that looked like the inside of a swimming pool. Lol.  They were stuck with miles of poppable plastic that nobody wanted. They tried to use it to insulate greenhouses. It failed. They tried to sell it as a curtain. It failed again. They were o...

Blessed Are the Shameless A 21 year old American streamer enters Lagos surrounded by bodyguards and cameras, and very quickly the outstretched hands begin to appear. Not hands waving hello. Hands asking. Hands reaching. Hands, demanding. The crowd is loud. Some of them were laughing, some of them jeering, many asking for cash, for streaming. It is easy, from a distance, to call this embarrassing. To say Nigerians beg too much. To say the country has forgotten pride. Lagos, up close, teaches you the rules with your body. Heat on the back of your neck. Generator coughs behind walls. A road that is five roads at once. A queue is a suggestion. A policeman’s stare is a question you are expected to answer with money. The public square is not neutral. It is an instructor, and its syllabus is survival. In a place where institutions do not protect you, where procedure does not rescue you, where waiting your turn is a reliable method of being ignored, shame becomes a rule you keep for yourself w...

Teachers make good wives/husbands.  It's in the constitution.  Nurses/Doctors sitaongea mengi.  Most Business women (Successful ones) are unmarried.  Don't try to marry them, son. Wekea mkewe biashara. Ukiona inashika sana anaenda kuomoka, tuma wezi na uuwe mmoja wao. Ibeni lakini mbakishe kidogo. Mpe pesa ya stock tena. Repeat. Sitawafunza kila kitu, cabrons..!

If you go missing for seven years without anyone hearing from you, the law presumes that you are dead. A court may then declare you dead, and the date of that declaration becomes the official date of death that appears on your death certificate. This means your relatives are legally allowed to inherit your land and property—while we, your neighbours, go ahead and distribute your women among ourselves. If you suddenly re-emerge in the eighth year as a “returning officer,” you have no legal right to reclaim what was previously yours. The lesson, therefore, is simple. Anyone who chooses to 'enter grass' must always return within six years to beat this law. If necessary, you may then disappear again and again. This is one of those pieces of humour that somehow found its way into the law books (the Evidence Act). I also remember a similar touch of humour in the 2010 Constitution. Article 14 on citizenship states that if a child is found anywhere in Kenya, appears to be eight years ...
