Walking home with my son and a friend from a football match at the local stadium, we overheard two middle-aged ladies behind us, animatedly discussing the outcome of the weekend’s English premier league matches. This fascinated us and curiosity had me engaging them tongue in cheek to understand their interest and motivation. They gave a burst of hearty laughter and nonchalantly declared that they were trying to win the various jackpots that are on offer in sports betting.

In the 1990s, village sportsmen were the biggest magnets for green, naïve village girls, with some even attracting the attention of the most sought-after village "humdingers," and many went as far as pinning down married women due to their prowess on the field. Village footballers were the equivalent of today’s music stars, drawing women in like moths to a flame. They had the easiest time during that era.

Our childhood will always be the place with the most profound memories. These memories later shape our entire existence and outcome later in life. Growing up we are filled with endless curiosity and excitement, however for some these experiences are not so pleasant, and because one’s brains are still developing, we internalize the feelings and later they form part of our personality subconsciously.

When we first arrived in Nairobi in the 90s, many estates, particularly in Eastlands (commonly referred to as Eastlando), were in fairly good shape with well-planned buildings. There were no haphazardly constructed skyscrapers, poor infrastructure, or overcrowded streets full of stray dogs, lactating pigs and ducks.

A New Year is a chance to reflect on the past year and make new resolutions for guidance. This age old tradition acts both as a compass and a self-accountability tool for improved outcome. Every first Sunday of the year many Christians attend a ‘Covenant Sunday’ where the congregants get an opportunity to give themselves wholly to God. The service emphasises the need to live in a grateful covenant relationship.

On a hill overlooking the heart of the Masai Mara wilderness, Samuel Karkar sets up a portable grill on a gas stove. Here, he will skew some sausages while pieces of bacon fry on low heat on an adjacent iron cast pan. Set on a nearby set table are various types of cereals, cold milk, freshly-squeezed juice, honey and several bread spreads. The table stands in sharp contrast to the red oat grass and a favourite for the ungulates.
