GMO

I wouldn’t touch them with a twelve foot barge pole even though our lying MP scoundrels would like us to trust them for a change and think GMO foods are good for Kenya;a country that has never had problems feeding its own until government officials started messing up our agriculture through their thieving ways.

Read for yourself and make up your mind about what your little ones and your loved ones will be eating.

Nothing’s to say that your little baby won’t develop cancer or some other genetic disease from eating genetically modified food that has genes from bacteria and viruses to enable it to produce pesticides.

May be with prolonged use your darling will start growing an extra finger or losing their hair or start growing bones from their head in the form of horns due to the wrong message being conveyed to his/her genes.

May be they will start having difficulties breathing for no reason at all and despite all the exercise they get and the healthy diet they get daily. May be they will start losing their hearing or sight.

‘'May be…’ because no extensive tests have been carried out to make sure the food you make from GMOs is safe for your little ones. There’s no evidence that your loved ones will not die due to long term use of food of the GMO kind.  How’s that for chance? 

Let me give you my two cents worth of thinking into this before I give you the links to the stories I want you to read.

We all know that there are certain chemicals that accumulate into the body with prolonged use and one such chemical is DDT. The other is mercury. 

If chemicals can accumulate in the body then pesticides made by plants can also accumulate in our bodies from prolonged use of those plants as food. If that’s the case then after a number of years we will begin to experience the effects of having food with certain genes that produce certain chemicals to effect certain changes. 

If the crop has a way of producing chemicals to keep insects at bay then with time those chemicals will accumulate in our bodies meaning that we will die or develop problems or worse still, our children, who will consume them over a longer period of time – because they are young and have a long life ahead of them – will develop even worse problems.

Read this and be horrified:

Now you know. 

Together as one, we can safeguard the future of your little ones and your loved ones. 

Together as one, we can make their food safer and save you and them lots of money in medical bills.

Orange Kenya 3G internet campaign

I’ve just heard a rumour that Orange Kenya will be launching the real 3G internet service around the middle of August this year. 

Surprisingly, that is about the same time Airtel Kenya will be launching their 3G internet service.

What is not known by many of you is that you will need to purchase a new modem to be able to use the service.

What do you think about that?

I mean, you may already have a modem that you bought with your hard earned money on the basis that you were told it is 3G internet.

Because they told you it was 3G internet you may have thought that you were making a one-off investment and would not be needing to spend more of your scarce financial resources on another modem.

Money doesn’t grow on trees and that fact makes it pretty hard to come buy so when someone misleads you by using a name like 3G+ on a service it is only natural that you feel cheated and not so happy about the whole affair.

Safaricom came in with internet then rolled out 3G internet without using misleading terms and Airtel has done the same too. None of our mobile service providers, apart from Orange, have called their initial services 3G+.

So what should you do, unless you’re okay with being fooled into spending money on things that are not what the provider claims them to be?

Simple, boycott the service! Together as one!

Take up Airtel’s service if you want to try something new. 

How can we help Orange Kenya? Together as one we can promise to try their service if they will accept returns of their EVDO modems or if they will give the customer new modems free of charge after the purchase of a certain amount of airtime not exceeding Ksh 2000.

If Orange cannot do any of the above, they can watch us all join Airtel’s new service ‘together as one’ since Kenyans don’t take being lied or being misled to kindly.

I have now confirmed that Airtel’s 3G internet service will come at no extra cost to those who already own modems and have been using the mobile internet service. What may change is the bundle charge.

Here’s what this means. If Orange don’t find a way to provide free modems to customers and potential customers, there’s no reason anyone would want to have their 3G service; it does not make any financial sense since Airtel have the best network and coverage and the cost of the new service is only for first time customers or those who do not already own their modems.

Orange will be at a disadvantage as not many Kenyans will want to take on the services of a provider who feels nothing about misleading customers just to make some money in addition to the fact that that provider isn’t the one with the best network in the land.

Frankly speaking, Orange has made some serious mistakes in the past and this seems like their only chance to set things right.

For now, together as one, no free modem, no Orange 3G.

Rat race exit plan.

We all have to struggle as long as we are alive.

You could either struggle to keep up with the tempo of the rat race and hope to peacefully retire when you’re too old to ‘race’ or you could struggle as part of a team and work towards solutions that will slowly but surely help you to slow down and eventually quit the rat race.

Either way, life will always be a struggle. Choose what you struggle for carefully.

Sneak preview.

You work very hard on a day to day basis, waking up very early to beat the traffic jam.

You even put up with eating while you drive or starve yourself until you get to work.

If it isn’t traffic jams it is bad roads, dusty roads, smoke spewing trucks, poorly lit roads, insecurity, open manholes, inconsiderate road contractors who choose to work during traffic peak times.

As a single individual, you can do something about all these but I’m sure that between family and social commitments, making money to make ends meet and relaxing so as not to lose your mind, fighting the rot that we see all around us does not get as much attention as it deserves if things are to improve in your lifetime.

On your own, you can do something but not much while together with other like minded individuals you can achieve far much more than you ever dreamed possible.

‘Together as one’ we can make this country we love so much a really good place to live in and a place where raising a good family and living your life doesn’t have to compete so much with staying alive and keeping your sanity.

‘Together as one’ life can go back to being a real joy and not just a ‘rat race’.

Follow me and ‘Together as one’ we will get things done and win back your peace of mind.
