After a ten year wait, the Kaizer Chiefs finally give me a trophy. I'll take it.

I'm sorry but I still remember being assured that Arsenal was definitely winning the 2006 final because it was in Paris. I still haven't recovered from that pain. I'll believe it when I see MŌ lifting that trophy in Munich. 😭

Nairobi city. The town where you better be in your house before 5 pm when the deluge comes down.

I'm calling it. Bayern Munich Vs Arsenal make it to the Champions League final. In Munich. And just like other English teams in the past, Arsenal wins the it all. Muhahahaha!

It was painful but I have accepted Liverpool's title win. Deserved. For Arsenal, Arteta has brought a team just hoped to make top four to be title contenders three years in a row. That's a huge shift in the club ambitions and I'm here for it. We'll win it eventually. Just not this year. #COYG

No one has made any clever posts alleging "Twin-on-Twin" violence from Leicester vs Arsenal with Jurien Timber and Jordan Ayew battling it out over the weekend. The internet has failed us all.

The shouting I shouted when all those goals went in. Odergaard! Partey! Lewis-Skelley! Harvetz! Nwaneri! What a time to be a freaking gooner! #COYG

August 1981 - Ronald Reagan crashes Air Traffic Controllers strike
January 2025 - Donald Trump administration fires many in the government relating to the aviation sector.
People die in crash.
History doesn't repeat itself. It rhymes though.

January 1979 - American hostages in Iran are released.
Presidential Reagan takes credit.
For the next two terms, the Oligarchy takes control...
January 2025 - American TikTok refugees are released back to their natural habitat.
President Trump takes credit.
It's going to be crazy few years...

In Squid Game Season 2, the writers have the character Thanos speaking English to show that he is a piece of shit. Using language as a qualifier for doucheness... Ngugi would have been so proud. 😁

The Internet nowadays is a truly segmented entity. How am I only today finding out about the Afroman drama that lead to the songs "Will You Help Me Repair My Door" and "Lemon Pound Cake?!" Talk about tragic and hilarious in one fell swoop!

This was me at the launch of the "And Then What?" podcast in Nairobi yesterday. The new podcast curated by Ghanaian feminist writer Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah is where "journalism on the continent takes centre stage." Something to check out.

It's a psyop that's in full effect bro. The problem is that it seems to be working.
