| Kenya's FM Radio Stations! |
| 2008-04-11 06:45:42 |
Unfortuantely most of our FM radio stations are turning out to be audio tabloids with little wholesome information save for puerile,derogatory , sexually suggestive and or immoral comments!I especially have a beef with Kiss 100 FM which has been airing this uncouth comment from one Nairobi guy about what should happen to a certain lady.The worst thing is that they keep on repeating it as an...

To dub the show that is currently airing on Africa Tv as "The Apprentice Africa" is a misnomer.Majority of the contestants are Nigerian,the production team is nearly wholly Nigerian, the adverts are predominantly Nigerian ,the tasks are Nigerian.....and i can continue and the Judging reeks of African paternalistic ,chauvinistic mentality.There is no Egyptian,Libyan or Arab in the show despite...

The lapse and failure of the Koffi Annan mediation talks leading to their suspension brings to the fore the selfish nature and hypocrisy of Kenyan leaders.They have chosen the path of death and destruction under self deceit that they will not be harmed personally!It is indeed grim to arrive at such a conclusion and sincere Kenyans dont want to accept this as the eventuality.
