Speak Kikuyu with Confidence — From Anywhere in the World

Kikuyu (Gĩkũyũ) is one of Kenya's most influential indigenous languages, spoken by over 8 million people across the country and throughout the diaspora. It's the native tongue of three Kenyan presidents— Jomo Kenyatta, Mwai Kibaki, and Uhuru Kenyatta —as well as cultural icons like Nobel Peace Prize laureate Wangarĩ Maathai and acclaimed author Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o .

In Kenya, Kikuyu dominates in counties like Nyeri, Murang'a, and Kiambu , and it's widely spoken in Nairobi's business circles. Across generations and borders, Kikuyu remains central to identity, enterprise, and family bonds. In fact, intermarriages between Kikuyu and other ethnic communities are rising—making Kikuyu a language of cultural connection and a modern necessity.

I am an artist who also writes fiction. I speak English, Kikuyu, Kiswahili, some French, and some Lingala. I understand several Kenyan Bantu languages and a bit of the Nilotic 'dholuo' (Obama's father's mother tongue). I can play some guitar and piano but I spend more time reading and writing.

A History of Chelsea football club and it's African Stars Legends

Chelsea FC: A Blue Story Worth Telling Welcome to the world of Chelsea FC —the club that's seen it all, from highs to lows, with a sprinkle of drama in between. Let’s dive into the storied history of the Blues, filled with triumphs, challenges, and plenty of reasons why fans from London to Lagos proudly wear the blue shirt.   Chelsea: Formation and Early Years Founded in 1905, Chelsea started its journey at Stamford Bridge, a stadium they’ve called home ever since. Fun fact: Chelsea was nearly called “Stamford Bridge FC,” but thankfully, the founders decided on Chelsea, probably because “Stamford Bridge” sounded more like a toll booth than a football club. In its early years, Chelsea wasn’t exactly a football powerhouse, but they sure had style—often attracting large crowds even when they weren’t winning trophies. Maybe it was the blue jerseys, or perhaps it was just the London charm?   Chelsea’s Ownership History Now, let’s talk about the big bosses behind Chelsea ...

Meinertzhagen: Nemesis of the Nandi and Kikuyu People of Kenya

Image
                                                   A pipe smoking Meinertzhagen : Wikipedia commons Meinertzhagen's task - to protect the settlers Meinertzhagen, British to the core despite his German surname, was the son of a powerful banker and a career soldier. After stints in India and Burma, he lobbied hard for an African posting — a desire that, history shows, came with a readiness to treat Africans as game to be hunted. In 1902, he arrived in the British East Africa Protectorate, serving four years with the King’s African Rifles. Under Commissioner Sir Charles Eliot, the Protectorate became a settler’s paradise and a nightmare for its indigenous peoples. Eliot scrapped immigration limits, recruited white farmers from South Africa, and declared that the Maasai and other tribes “must go under.” By 1904, settlers numbered over 300. Meinertzhagen’s job wa...

Who Cares in Nairobi? Satire, Sewers, and the Merchants of Vanish

This article is a work of satire and fiction. The events and characters depicted are purely fictional and intended for humorous entertainment purposes. The views expressed do not necessarily reflect reality or endorse any specific behaviour. The City of Nairobi The streets of Nairobi are littered with garbage, hawkers, kiosks, etc. In fact, this former city in the sun has become one big open-air market with no planning whatsoever. Now that the election is round the corner, things are worse. Getting rid of the hawkers would be like throwing good votes into the sea so no politician will touch them.  Besides the garbage, refuse, and overflowing and bursting sewage system, the planning officers add to the pollution by spewing empty vitriol and unnecessary verbiage. We know that they are chasing rate defaulters because they want to raise money for the coming elections—the biggest ever in the history of independent Kenya.  On the sidewalks one faces the risk of fal...
