In my part time work place, most employees are university students. As it is known, such workers are front runners when it comes to doing part time jobs. They are thorough and responsible.This dynamic group of learned men and women are doing well.

Three quarters of this corner office is full of young, smart and energetic students. They report here to write essays and general articles every night at a time when many are on their beds, asleep.

But at the end of the night, they deliver crisp contents which is well researched and up to par. And they try as much as they can to deliver quality work.


Many of them here tell me that it's their challenge to make a cut especially now that world recess is problem to homes, universities and workplaces.

For them, they use the salary for buying affordable clothing, nice shoes and they drink the rest. Unlike few of us here who use what we make from this place just for everything; paying school fees, paying rent, buying food, transport, investing and all.

Well, we can't be the same. After all, there is only one 'you' in this world, and the moment you want to be like your neighbour, truly, plans might not be rosy. You'll be out rightly disappointed. Consider this solved.

Why then is campus power beneficial to a workplace like this one of ours where we spend most of the time producing articles?

One thing that stands out in this group of students is their qualifications. They flaunt rich management courses, impressive technology ideas and legendary style of writing apart from the rest which I have scruples in writing.

This has created a unique experience for me. (and for them, too)As it is known, such workers take issues very seriously. I've learned that they like things which are rewarding and enjoyable. They work for a course. to make that extra penny to spend on the sidelines. This is the workplace we want as it takes care of the youth no matter how much the nations coalition government might be working hard to ignore the young workers.

keep your cell phone in the open

For months, I've been away from the internet. Not that I wanted to but the clandestine nature of my rural home forced me to miss my emails and all. So i was at a loss with my favourite websites that include TIG.

At some point, however, I thought I would share a lot of stories through my phone but unfortunately, I own a low end handset that can simply send short messages and receive phone calls. For real, this phone cannot blare MP3 or MP4 ring tones. All in all, I don't hate my phone.

But why this phone talk?

As it turns out, the low end Nokia 1110 has helped me to do some things that i didn't expect in the scheme of my plans. Last week, at around 2pm, East African time, a sweet voiced woman gave me a call that i did not receive. I was out to tether some goats which belong to my grandmother. she is very old, and practically toothless so i like helping her out in such duties whenever I'm available.

So, when I came back I found three missed calls. All of them from strange number. Many questions than answers sprung up in my head. Who is this caller? And what is it that she wants from me?

There was a subtle sign that this was not an ordinary caller. But at a place where airtime is bought three kilometres away from home, i had to think out of the box.

I had two call back messages remaining that scorching after noon. i used all of them but because I could not beap due to insufficient funds, I chilled out to receive just in case i was called. Well, i was called. She was a woman, and we were great family friends just before her dad married a second wife. And do you know what she said?

It was too easy for her to read an article i sent for publications many years ago when i was still in primary school. That was the message she wanted to pass to me.

After a week, and it was a sleepless week, i picked up myself, one foot at a time back to the urban centre. This word of encouragement assured me that if the editors used my work when I was nine years old, why can't they do the same now that I'm old and must be having enough experience?

I did visit so many media houses. Some gave me extraordinary answers and some were no good. Due to the current financial crisis, some closed the door for me saying they were restructuring. But I'm happy that at the end of it all, i found a place where i could do something.

And today, i hope I'll sensitively apply what I have. And perhaps to inspire the rest, fellow youths, who have given up in doing spirited search for jobs they desire simply because they did not receive calls from people close to them.

Wait, your time will come, even me I'm not happy yet as this is just but the beginning. I'm still looking for a reasonable job which can enable to buy a vehicle, and a home at the same time before I marry the most beautiful woman whom all men around our village can envy.

KCA Bill is torn, badly
Related to country: Kenya

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Kenya Communications Amendment bill is something which became an issue early this year. It had clauses which left journalists and media owners yawning.

The bill which has been read in parliament many times, precisely four times now place electronic media to the jaws of Communications Commission of Kenya and government. So as it is, the CCK has the right of say on television and radio content. If passed, this draconian bill is a clear gun that the government will use to shoot the broad cast media.

Well, people close to government say that the media industry were consulted over the KCA bill. But several questions still ring a bell on this. Who represented the journalists? And were they sober during the consultations?

Fourth reading has passed and the people concerned are praying for the president to think twice, if not thrice, and fourth so that he does not sign this bill. Nobody can be happy if the media is muzzled at a time like this when it is most needed.

One thing that the people might not know is that media flavor is changing. Pretty much that hot adult programs should not be a scare. In fact what the CCK deems as inappropriate content is what give the audience a choice to choose among many channels. You either hate dirty radio talk or you like it but this should not give our so democratic government the abs to do whatever they like with the hurting communications bill.

Please don’t be sorry to journalist and let our programs run as we want.
Citizens are the state and these people of the nation may not understand the goodness of some programs.

Let us not end up using people power to shoot down something we ought to spare. As voices behind and in front of the lenses and the microphones, we hope the president will read the white paper and drop his biro down for changes to be made on some clauses. If I were the president, not a journalist, I would take the right turn – not signing the communications bill. Period.

Internet gone bad.
Related to country: Kenya

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

When you are blessed with free internet it’s usually not uncommon to misuse it. Well some people would say they can stick on social networks and still do their assignments and beat deadlines. I’m one of them and I rarely get caught whenever I become naughty online.

Whatever it is, today is probably the bad day about social networks, to me. If you know what a social user name is then, that’s what I mean. It was Wednesday, today few minutes to seven, that evening, I lost some aspect of privacy. At first I felt it on my skin. That something was not right but I could not really make out what it was exactly until I discovered that I had shown too many contacts on the internet.

She was not beautiful. In fact she had a rough face, not black not brown. This lady has been naughty with me for half a year now. But being somebody who knows how to pass time, I’ve never gone far with online sex to be sincere. I just wanted away of being closer to my friends and to find new friends.


That’s why I thought, then lastly brought my mobile phone and PC together. Through that I’m now able to see my friends wherever they are and call them. I can receive free notifications that my friends are near by. So this light hearted chic who spoils me online is just one online buddy gone terrible. Coincidentally she is a work mate and the funny thing is that I’ve never liked her, naturally. I can remember her comments usually irritate me. She’s dirty and stupid. Well, let me stop for now, because I’m mad. I know Jesus is on my side. And 40 days is not the end.
