Ignore The pressure, It Is Okay.

Is it wrong to feel sad because of this Corona Virus disease 2019 (COVID-19)? Is it unacceptable to be out of sorts because there are lock-downs and curfews and uncommon restrictions on how one interacts with ones family, ones friends and other people? Why is everyone making it feel criminal to think and worry about…

Holding A Fart Is Harder Than Releasing It – Always Remember!

https://okagwe.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/zebra-1875818_1920.jpg 1920 1566 Oliver Kagwe Oliver Kagwe https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/93a9e481947ec003cb22918027261b48?s=96&d=mm&r=g 21st July 2020 22nd January 2021

I bet you do not remember the shock on your face when you let out your first fart. You either found it disgusting, or fun, depending on the social class you were born into. Truth is, you did not understand it, yet when it continued to happen again and again, you either tried to imprison…

Greedy People Are Patient People, Sometimes.

Are poor people powerless because they are poor or are they poor because they are powerless? Also, are most rich people powerful because of their riches, or are they rich because they are powerful? Oliver cannot seem to put his head around this shit. And he really hates it when he cannot get his head…

The Story of A Hopeless Girl Called Hope.

https://okagwe.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/four-leaf-clover-3336774_1920.jpg 1920 1440 Oliver Kagwe Oliver Kagwe https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/93a9e481947ec003cb22918027261b48?s=96&d=mm&r=g 1st June 2020 22nd January 2021

They say that ‘nothing can dim the light that shines from within.’ But when Oliver stared into Hope’s eyes, there was no light. Not even a glimmer of ambition. What was there was an emptiness and a darkness and deadness so powerful that it was infectious. The more Hope spoke, the more Oliver felt his…

Wanja Didn’t Like My Armpits.

As far as Oliver is concerned, it is easier to spend the whole day counting the grains of rice in a 50kg bag than to approach a girl. He would rather become a clown, dedicating all his life to wearing ridiculous make up and sticking a big round red nose on his face, amusing children…

People don't die, they simply ran ahead.

People Don’t Die; They Ran Ahead.

When he was dying that Friday night, I was having a cold Guinness as I grilled T-bone steaks because that’s what people do on Friday nights. Not that he preferred dying to eating meat, no. In fact, he loved meat. He loved his meat grilled in charcoal, tender and juicy. Perhaps he liked it this…

I’m In A Relationship, But It’s Complicated.

I get off on many things in life. Except math. Math is frustrating. Math is like trying to untangle tangled up earphone cables in a hurry – you only make it worse by trying harder. I consider that it is because of my relationship with math that I do not also trust people who say…

There Is Nothing Casual About COVID-19

I won’t lie, I am frightened. I am frightened because Kenya now has 4 confirmed cases of COVID-19. I am more frightened because I do not know how many more people have contracted it that haven’t presented themselves to hospitals. Initially, it seemed like an ‘outside Africa’ problem – how inaccurate a thought! The virus…

CHEQUE-MATE.

Dear Client, Picture the good Lord – in brilliant white robes like burning magnesium – standing next to ravishing Golden Gates holding a paper that shines like the sun. That paper gleams like the cheques you are supposed to give me after I complete your assignment. Penned on that paper in indelible golden ink is…

President Of Kenya H.E Uhuru Kenyatta gulping his favourite drink, beer.

What’s Behind The Image?

Does Uhuru Kenyatta fart in his blankets? Does he make it worse by sniffing around as if hoping that this time it’ll smell like citronella? I know he’s the president but, si he is a person at the end of the day? And let us not lie, normal people [read: boys] do these things. I…
