5 Things Husbands Never tell their Wives

…now that I’ve gotten your attention, I’m first going to go into the whole positive spiel about how happily married couples share everything including the toothbrush (eew!) and how they keep absolutely nothing from each other (in case you missed it, I just said the positive bit!). The negative bit I’m about to unleash (Armageddon style) is not for the faint-hearted wives or judgmental/paranoid wives-to-be. If you fall into either category then please close this article now and wait for another publication, otherwise please read on…

Men have secrets, some more than others. When they get married they may choose to share some secrets but where do they draw the line without triggering a marriage meltdown? A husband may want to ‘put a sock in it’ if they woke up one morning and decided to narrate an erotic dream that didn’t involve their wife (even if the woman involved was some impossible-to-get celebrity). That’s just asking for a whole lot of trouble. How about that special female friend whom he’s been in touch with before and after marriage? I don’t think a married man will see sense in disclosing that kind of info, unless of course his wife wasn’t the jealous type (that’s like saying there are dogs that aren’t the barking type!).

On a scarier note, a considerate husband would not disclose any possible regrets for marrying his wife…at least not to the wife. It’s a tough pill to swallow but marriage proposals founded on pity, unplanned pregnancy or financial gain may soon begin to see Frustration rear its ugly head. Next thing you know, the truth is out there like the X-files! Sadly some women just can’t handle the truth; which brings me to the fourth thing husbands won’t tell their wives – how their wives REALLY look. I’m not talking about the diplomatic ‘You like fine, dear’. I mean If she’s having a real ‘off’ day e.g. she’s a little heavy and she’s concerned about her weight, she’s got extremely sensitive skin and she’s concerned about her spots, or perhaps she’s got a freakishly futuristic hairdo she loves but you have a big question mark about, etc.

But it’s not all about the wife, what she looks like or what private relationships or dreams she’s unaware of – there’s also other ‘assets’ to worry about. I heard about joint bank accounts for couples where either can sign to make withdrawals but let’s face it; how many husbands would tell their wives about that private account where their (back-up) funds are kept safe from frivolous spending, possible divorce settlements, etc? You only know what you know, you know

MTWAPA THE FUN TASTIC CITY

It's on a Friday and at around 11.00pm as I walk in the streets of Mombasa in a Metropolitan Town going by the name Mtwapa, I decide to pop in a club *F******N* to see what many people have been telling me about ladies dancing naked (Stripping). Unfortunately I find no stripper I ask a guy next to my table about them and he directs me to two nearby clubs *L******P* & *B******F*. I sip my drink very fast and phew! off with my cameras to the above two mentioned clubs. On my way i hear a woman's voice ''Anko.........Anko..........Anko....Kidogo'' i turn my head only to realize am the one being called, two ladies all rushing to where am standing and one starts ''

Lady one---> Mambo
ME---> Poa
Lady one---> Naona uko lonely
Lady two---> Naitwa Nancy Sijui wewe?
ME---> Naitwa Mike
Lady One---> Aaaaaw Mike, a sexy name

I decide to hit the nail on the head "Mwasemaje?"
One is like "nataka kukukeep busy leo"  the other one is like "hutaregret" they have a disagreement on who to go with me but eventually the other lady *Purity* pulls out of the race and now am remaining with one *Nancy* and she gives me the services she offers with their prices as stated below

1. ONE SHOT ---> 300
2. TWO SHOTS ---> 600
3. WHOLE NIGHT ---> 1500

Just before she finishes giving me the breakdown she notices am holding a camera and a question comes out "Kwani wewe ni wa Jicho Pevu?" I tell her no because if at all it was a Yes then i would have been dead by now.....I cut her short by telling her am on official duty and can't go with her, she agrees to that very quickly and off she goes.....A sigh of relief after 30 hectic minutes. I proceed to B*****f and this time very careful because cameras are their biggest enemy. I enter the club and O.M.G strippers are all over. As i head to the Counter to get a drink and roll my eyes as i spectate i collide with a nude lady, she is profusely sweating and i figure out she was the one on stage when i entered the club. I take it easy and order for my drink and find a place to sit. It's already mid night and the show is bound to be hot, The Disco Joker is busy doing what he does best. Ladies from Kenya,Uganda,Tanzania, Nigeria come on stage showing their nude bodies and yes that's what they call 'WORK'. The club is loaded by people from all walks of life and now the theme of the show is bound to start....S******y the show stopper gets on stage and that's where hell breaks loose, He is said to ........TO BE CONTINUED

PROSTITUTES PAID FOR THEIR LOSS OF SOCIAL STANDING IN SOCIETY

Much will be written about the moral decadence of Mtwapa that its quite, impossible to visit the town without pre-conceived ideas. Teenage youthful school drop-out girl’s young men, medium age single mothers are in trouble, Since their hub of life is centered on prostitution. How? They offer their bodies for sexual intercourse in exchange for money.

Prostitution in Mtwapa is a profession and a source of livelihood to different groups of prostitutes called sex-workers. In particular during the day  its low key while generally at night  its at the  peak. Sometimes at night one may think it’s a formalized social institution in its own right.

Anyway, what is prostitution? According to oxford English dictionary, it’s a practice of prostituting one self with multiple partners for congress, it’s a consequence of social-economic psychological and biological aspects of life.

However, the overwhelming  obsession in Mtwapa to prostitution is facilitated by seven different types of prostitutes.

• bar prostitutes
• bar maid prostitutes
• street light prostitutes
• indoor prostitutes
• super rich prostitutes
• sugar daddy prostitutes
•  sugar mummy  prostitutes

Let us examine one after the other:-

Bar Prostitutes:-these are prostitutes who visit the bar from their respective residence  purposely to get a drink, a meal and some money from a male prostitute in exchange for money

Bar maid prostitutes:- these are some staff working within the bar  but discreetly prostitute themselves as sex workers to supplement their low salaries.

Street light prostitute:- are those who hang outside night spots for example bars  but mainly where they could get  illuminated by light. They normally  hang themselves in designated areas.

Indoor prostitutes:- these operate as sex workers from the comfort of their homes , male clientele would pay them visits for sex

Super rich prostitutes:- are well off prostitutes  who will venture out to have one for the road but at the back of their minds prey on rich male clientele, in most cases they are selective.

Sugar daddy (prostitutes:-these are older men who pay a teenage and youth school  drop outs.

Sugar mummy (prostitutes):-these are older women who are  well off but occasionally visit bars they normally keep gigolo’s who benefit from material remuneration and some money for  up.

Needless to say, all the groups crave for satisfaction one way or the other, sadly though most of the sex-workers are paid for loss of social standing in society. They change men with confusing regularity despite the prevalence of Hiv/Aids diseases

Their commitment to their “evil cancer” in society especially at night has earned them a tag  of “nocturnal predators.” prostitution is in Mtwapa to stay, Prostitutes have literally forfeited all rights to dignity and respect both to themselves and class as well as  within society at large.

Some prostitutes are opposed to the use of contraceptives hence have given men opportunity to plant a seed here and another there without thinking seriously of social consequences’ of sex liberalism.

A sight of a naïve foreign white man or woman engenders competion so, fortune, favours the brave. In their regard however anyone who  radiates warmth, charm and a sense of fun, captivates “mzungu”.....................to be continued....

Neil Armstrong, first man on the moon, dies.

Neil Armstrong was a quiet self-described nerdy engineer who became a global hero when as a steely-nerved pilot he made "one giant leap for mankind" with a small step on to the moon. The modest man who had people on Earth entranced and awed from almost a quarter million miles away has died. He was 82.

Armstrong died following complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures, a statement yesterday from his family said. It didn't say where he died.

Armstrong commanded the Apollo 11 spacecraft that landed on the moon July 20, 1969, capping the most daring of the 20th century's scientific expeditions. His first words after setting foot on the surface are etched in history books and the memories of those who heard them in a live broadcast.

"That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind," Armstrong said.

In those first few moments on the moon, during the climax of a heated space race with the then Soviet Union, Armstrong stopped in what he called "a tender moment" and left a patch to commemorate NASA astronauts and Soviet cosmonauts who had died in action.

"It was special and memorable but it was only instantaneous because there was work to do," Armstrong told an Australian television interviewer this year.

Armstrong and Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin spent nearly three hours walking on the lunar surface, collecting samples, conducting experiments and taking photographs.

"The sights were simply magnificent, beyond any visual experience that I had ever been exposed to," Armstrong once said.

The moonwalk marked America's victory in the Cold War space race that began October 4, 1957, with the launch of the Soviet Union's Sputnik 1, a 184-pound satellite that sent shock waves around the world.

Although he had been a Navy fighter pilot, a test pilot for NASA's forerunner and an astronaut, Armstrong never allowed himself to be caught up in the celebrity and glamour of the space programme.

"I am, and ever will be, a white socks, pocket protector, nerdy engineer," he said in February 2000 in one of his rare public appearances. "And I take a substantial amount of pride in the accomplishments of my profession."

A man who kept away from cameras, Armstrong went public in 2010 with his concerns about President Barack Obama's space policy that shifted attention away from a return to the moon and emphasised private companies developing spaceships. He testified before Congress and in an e-mail to The Associated Press, Armstrong said he had "substantial reservations", and along with more than two dozen Apollo-era veterans, he signed a letter calling the plan a "misguided proposal that forces NASA out of human space operations for the foreseeable future".

Armstrong's modesty and self-effacing manner never faded.

When he appeared in Dayton in 2003 to help celebrate the 100th anniversary of powered flight, he bounded onto a stage before 10,000 people packed into a baseball stadium. But he spoke for only a few seconds, did not mention the moon, and quickly ducked out of the spotlight.

He later joined former astronaut and Senator John Glenn to lay wreaths on the graves of Wilbur and Orville Wright. Glenn introduced Armstrong and noted it was 34 years to the day that Armstrong had walked on the moon.

"Thank you, John. Thirty-four years?" Armstrong quipped, as if he hadn't given it a thought.

At another joint appearance, the two embraced and Glenn commented: "To this day, he's the one person on Earth I'm truly, truly envious of."

Armstrong's moonwalk capped a series of accomplishments that included piloting the X-15 rocket plane and making the first space docking during the Gemini 8 mission, which included a successful emergency splashdown.

In the years afterward, Armstrong retreated to the quiet of the classroom and his southwest Ohio farm. Aldrin said in his book Men from Earth that Armstrong was one of the quietest, most private men he had ever met.

In the Australian interview, Armstrong acknowledged that "now and then I miss the excitement about being in the cockpit of an airplane and doing new things".

At the time of the flight's 40th anniversary, Armstrong again was low-key, telling a gathering that the space race was "the ultimate peaceful competition: USA versus USSR. It did allow both sides to take the high road with the objectives of science and learning and exploration."

Glenn, who went through jungle training in Panama with Armstrong as part of the astronaut programme, described him as "exceptionally brilliant" with technical matters but "rather retiring, doesn't like to be thrust into the limelight much".

Derek Elliott, curator of the Smithsonian Institution's US Air and Space Museum from 1982 to 1992, said the moonwalk probably marked the high point of space exploration.

The manned lunar landing was a boon to the prestige of the United States, which had been locked in a space race with the former Soviet Union, and re-established US pre-eminence in science and technology, Elliott said.

"The fact that we were able to see it and be a part of it means that we are in our own way witnesses to history," he said.

The 1969 landing met an audacious deadline that President Kennedy had set in May 1961, shortly after Alan Shepard became the first American in space with a 15-minute suborbital flight. (Soviet cosmonaut Yuri A Gagarin had orbited the Earth and beaten the US into space the previous month.)

"I believe this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before the decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth," Kennedy had said. "No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important to the long-range exploration of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish."

The end-of-decade goal was met with more than five months to spare. "Houston: Tranquility Base here," Armstrong radioed after the spacecraft settled onto the moon. "The Eagle has landed."

"Roger, Tranquility," the Houston staffer radioed back. "We copy you on the ground. You've got a bunch of guys about to turn blue. We're breathing again. Thanks a lot."

The third astronaut on the mission, Michael Collins, circled the moon in the mother ship Columbia 60 miles overhead while Armstrong and Aldrin went to the moon's surface.

In all, 12 American astronauts walked on the moon between 1969 and the last moon mission in 1972.

For Americans, reaching the moon provided uplift and respite from the Vietnam War, from strife in the Middle East, from the startling news just a few days earlier that a young woman had drowned in a car driven off a wooden bridge on Chappaquiddick Island by Senator Edward Kennedy. The landing occurred as organisers were gearing up for Woodstock, the legendary three-day rock festival on a farm in the Catskills of New York.

Armstrong was born August 5, 1930, on a farm near Wapakoneta in western Ohio. He took his first airplane ride at age six and developed a fascination with aviation that prompted him to build model airplanes and conduct experiments in a homemade wind tunnel.

Blogger held over hacking claims

Police have arrested a Nairobibased
journalist and blogger
over claims he hacked into
the International Criminal Court’s
website.
Mr Dennis Itumbi was arrested in
Embu and detained at the Muthaiga
Police Station on Thursday night,
according to Criminal Investigations
Department director Ndegwa
Muhoro.
Mr Muhoro, however, could not
confirm whether he will be charged
in court.
“We are still investigating his
involvement in the hacking and it
is too early to say when he will be
arraigned in court,” Mr Muhoro told
Nation yesterday.
Police and the Witness Protection
Agency are currently investigating
the claims by ICC prosecutor Luis
Moreno-Ocampo, of e-mail hacking
and threatening of witnesses.
An entry in the Occurrence Book
at the Muthaiga Police Station
showed the journalist was arrested
for allegedly accessing classified
documents.
Mr Itumbi was removed from the
cells at Muthaiga yesterday morning
under tight security and taken to his
residence in Thindigwa where the
detectives searched his house and
confiscated his laptop.
As he was being escorted from
his house to the police vehicle, Mr
Itumbi told journalists he had been
questioned over some documents
related to the ICC cases.
He also said he was interrogated
about a video clip he had posted on his
twitter account claiming that Prime
Minister Raila Odinga had threatened
electoral boss Isaack Hassan
and other commissioners.
The video captured a conversation
between the chairman and two other
commissioners before addressing a
press conference where they allegedly
admit to receiving threats from the
ODM camp on the announcement of
the election date.
The blogger added that he was also
to be questioned over the disclosure
in Parliament of documents allegedly
from the British Government showing
plans to have the ICC indict President
Kibaki when he leaves office.
But the CID director refused to
comment on Mr Itumbi’s claims.
By the time of going to press, the Mr
Itumbi was being held at Kileleshwa
Police Station.
Concerns have been raised over
protection of key witnesses in the
cases pending before The Haguebased
court. It has been alleged that
the court’s e-mail accounts have been
hacked into for witnesses’ evidence
and communication between them
and the Office of the Prosecutor.
Attorney-General Githu Muigai last
week ordered the police to investigate
claims by Mr Moreno-Ocampo
of e-mail hacking and intimidation
of witnesses.
Prof Muigai said he had received a
complaint from Mr Moreno-Ocampo
that there was “hacking of e-mail accounts
of a person of interest” to his
office. The ICC prosecutor had also
complained of witness intimidation
