A Sponsor; Searching the Lost Manhood

-
Image
Sponsors In Kenya, the word sponsor has different meanings, these meanings are derived from the environment they are spoken and who is speaking. In corporate world, it means something different from the meaning in the parliament where a legislature sponsors a bill. Among single people it has a differently meaning. Make no mistake to speak of sponsorship among young adult Kenyans; it will derive a different meaning altogether. Sponsors among the teenagers and those below 30 years of age will tell you categorically that it means the rich middle aged or senile men who sleep with the young girls and ladies in exchange they sustain them. Reference is mostly made to the married and divorcees; however the senile have dominated the category lately. A majority of average Kenyan male teenagers or those below 35 years of age are struggling to be in a relationship with women their ages or younger.

Can we Chat without Cheating?

Happy new year folks! So one of these past fine days of this New Year I was in a debate with a friend.   My friend and I talk about a lot of things but on this day, a discussion led us into a debate that I was not going to be understood if I stuck to my not-so-informed guns of psychology because of the unchartered waters.   Have you ever been in a situation where you have a lot to say?

Carpe Diem; Enjoy the moment forget the Future?

Present v Future Let me tell you the kind of person I am before we embark on this prospective psychologically and debatably daunting article that you are reading. My friend says she is a realist. She believes in what she experiences at the moment than the unseen tomorrow. This came after she saw that I wasn’t like her or I lived in the moment but a strong inclination towards the unseen tomorrow. She doesn’t ascribe to that class of people who are cynic or believe in goodies that come with time. Optimism and pessimism alike, are futuristic only separated by which side of hope the person has-‘full’ or ‘less’. In our contemporary discussions, we are disjointed whenever the topic hits present and future. Typical of her mantra ‘today, now, this moment’ and typical me a hard liner for beyond ‘today, now, this moment’. She is a centurion of “YOLO” army of the 21 st century and the old dogs will tell you she is an ardent of the 20 th century’s “vunja mifupa kama bado meno ...
