Let’s explore him

There are four types of individuals and mostly personalities can easily be understood via these traits they hold. As a parent to the boy, wife and friend to the male species, it would be easier to understand them if you had a map or something close to that description sticker that comes with every commodity. I find it my business to help you understand your male spouse, male leader, male mentor, son or father (although the same traits can be same to the female species).

Melancholic. They tend to keep to details, loyal to their duties and the kind that does what is required and rarely will you have an issue with them. They easily express themselves to other and in multitude simply because they tend to prepare themselves before the speech and draft for orderly speech delivery and always feel the need to be accurate/perfectionist. They are mostly introverted which simply means deep in thoughts and rarely confident. Depression easily catches up leading to depression. More

Sanguine. Positive or optimistic especially in bad to difficult situations. They find it easy to express themselves, Extroverts, but not easily trustworthy because of being too open and are dependent on company due to the fact to being outspoken and always getting into other people conversations uninvited. More

Phlegmatic. Serious and modest. Scandals or wrong doing is not in any part of their vocabulary for they avoid disputes which also makes them heavy thinkers before any decision is made. Unlike sanguine they adapt slowly to new surroundings and conditions in relation to friendship too. Most of them are introverts and are also reliable hence making awesome friends. They need constant reminders of their capabilities since they might tend to undermine themselves. More  

Choleric. You remember that guy who is always bad tempered or always grumpy or should I use my former lectures special world *cantankerous*, high chances are he can be identified as choleric and sadly most men are under this group. They are mostly money minded, poetry and works of art. They make thriving individuals since they invest in themselves and most find work as fun. They make goals and strive to achieve them, fixate on one thing and rarely note other issues affecting them unnoticed. Something to note about them, they are logical and come out rude since they are straightforward and rarely have time to repeat what seems as the obvious. More

With these few pointers and links to more in respect to the authors who own the copyright and special thanks to their capabilities and skills, now you know your opposites ladies and should take it upon yourself to learn on how to treat them in regards to what you might term as short comings ad strengths. Never compare be it a boy or a man but embrace their diversity.

The Genda Agenda on Gang Groups

Hey! We meet to talk about the hullabaloo surrounding the murder behind Clare Njokis’ saga for all who keep touch with trending issues… the young girl believed to be 18 years old shot dead in a fire exchange with police officers, so I’ve heard.

So yea, this can make news since for quite some time we are used to young men being caught in the heinous crime of violence which until now I have not wrapped my head on the fact that how a sane human being would go ahead and take what does not belong to them and go an extra mile to hurt the victim all the same. (Francis, cool down, sip some hot coffee coz karma knows when “what goes around comes around” time is).

Growing up I understood through experience that being born, raised around and in the ghetto and especially as a young boy (adolescent) is a crime by itself. Why do I say this? Your neighbor will wake up and mistake you for the person who stole their phone and without any questions, you are taken down by the mob, someone else will want to look like they are doing their job for the camera and so you are collateral damage amongst the real villains and of course that stupid person who will just finish you off coz you are not their cup of tea. All this will not be taken serious because alikuwa chali (was a guy).

The other day at my age and living in an area where crime is at probably 15/100% coming from work at around 2030 hours, I met the big black lorry that patrols the night every once in a while in the dark (every guy who knows life in the other side of the streets understands what I am talking about) and guess what, I freaked out and for a minute there was a mixture of tension, fear and confusion. Mind you I was not guilty of even harming a fly but yet I felt that way. Why? Because young men and boys no longer feel safe even when innocent yet our sisters are becoming hardcore to the same thing we and only we (the male gender) have been stereotyped to be capable of doing at its worst in our nature.
Seems the gender equality is now getting its real meaning with such stories of lady gang groups and other unlawful acts coming to light and hope in the near future, a man going to report of being raped by the opposite gender will not be a meme moment and laughable matter. (Does not mean I am in support of the killings and taking sides me being “in the all righteous team” but I think it is high time we commend the fact that whatever gender you are, the same law used on #TheMaleIssue will also apply to the opposite gender)

To my fellow age mates raised in the ghetto and unfavorable circumstances, easy come easy go… “There is never a day when you will move a mile in someone’s pain, hard work and tears when it never cost you the same pain, hard work and tears”. Learn to work for what you want, and for sure you can b**** and brag about it when the deal is done.

The war

The other day I was working for someone and she kept on stating, you are effeminate and I must admit somewhere in her head, she wondered...
