CANADA ISSUES A TRAVEL ADVISORY TO THEIR CITIZENS
On December 13th, the Government of Canada issued a travel advisory to their citizens In Kenya. In this document, they cited that the frequent power outages would result in opportunistic crimes such as theft. They advised them to stay away from Eastleigh, Kibera, Mathare, and Pangani due to the high levels of crime.
Additionally, these areas have often been mentioned to harbor suspects of terror and with an increase in criminal activity, it would be best to stay away. They urged them to stay vigilant to avoid carjackings, robberies, kidnappings and even spiked food and drinks. Although, I am not sure how you can be vigilant against these. Anyway, they are also not to travel to parts of Northern Kenya such as Wajir and Garissa and the volatile Tana River area. That however, is a sane thing to do because bandits have shown the military dust. Get it? No?
This advisory comes only a few months after the UK did the same and advised its citizens who live in this great country to avoid crowded areas like malls which may be targets for terrorists. And to stay away from the Kenya-Somalia border, Garissa, Mandera and Tana River. With this, there’s not much quarrel because there may be a cause for concern. Although I must admit the mall thing is getting old. Every year, towards the festive season, governments caution their citizens to avoid crowded areas. Wewe unajua Kenya over the holidays? Overcrowding galore!
But there is more. Canadians have been asked to refrain from displaying signs of wealth or substantial money. They clearly don’t know that siku yako ikifika ya kulala mteja hii Kanairo, huna bahati. The color of your skin means nothing.
But there is a cause for concern about the recent frequent power outages. Oh no, wameanua tena. Nationwide blackouts are no joke and yet KPLC has not shied in providing us with three! This is worrying, to say the least. While this company is on the verge of collapse, Kenyans are suffering. With calls to privatize it, for Energy CS Davis Chirchir to resign, and the company’s ability to continuously register losses, one thing is clear. This ship is sinking and if we don’t bail, we will drown. The Canadian Government and the UK Government are justified in worrying about how this house of falling cards can endanger the country.
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, has postponed the premiere of her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, in light of the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles.
Originally set to debut on January 15, the show will now launch on March 4. Meghan expressed gratitude to Netflix for supporting her decision to delay the release, saying, “I’m thankful to my partners at Netflix for supporting me in delaying the launch, as we focus on the needs of those impacted by the wildfires in my home state of California.”
Netflix’s Tudum platform confirmed the postponement, highlighting that the show, a tribute to the beauty of Southern California, had been rescheduled due to the ongoing crisis.
Meghan and Prince Harry have actively supported relief efforts, offering their Montecito home as a refuge for friends and loved ones displaced by the fires. On January 10, they distributed food and supplies in Pasadena, met with affected families, and thanked first responders for their work. Pasadena Mayor Victor Gordo commended the couple, saying their presence uplifted spirits and provided hope to those impacted.
The couple also released a statement urging residents to assist evacuees, check on vulnerable neighbors, and donate essential items to families who’ve lost everything. They encouraged support for organizations like the American Red Cross, which is actively aiding wildfire victims.
Through their actions and advocacy, Meghan and Harry continue to demonstrate their commitment to supporting communities in times of crisis.
Netflix is set to broaden its repertoire of African storytelling with the premiere of Mo-Faya, an enthralling new drama series from acclaimed creator and director Reuben Odanga.
The seven-episode series is scheduled to launch on December 20, 2024, offering audiences a unique blend of intense drama and telenovela flair.
Mo-Faya takes viewers on a journey through Nairobi’s vibrant streets and into the lesser-seen corners of Western Kenya, an area rarely spotlighted in mainstream media. The show centers on Zawadie, whose life unravels after learning life-altering secrets about her family. Determined to rebuild, she begins a new chapter with her boyfriend, Brian. But when she discovers his dangerous double life, Zawadie is drawn into a shadowy world filled with betrayal and crime.
The series features a mix of seasoned talent and emerging stars, including Lorna Lemi (Nairobby), Brahim Ouma (Pepeta), and newcomers Tobit Tom and Mathew Ngugi. Also joining the cast are Alex Mwakideu (Nafsi), Blessing Lung’aho (Country Queen), Basil Mungai (Kina), Tessy Njine (Selina), and the well-known media personality Cate Rira.
Reuben Odanga, known for his work on the critically acclaimed, Kalasha Award-winning telenovela Selina, brings his expertise to Mo-Faya, marking his first series for Netflix. His directorial debut feature film, Nafsi, was also featured on the platform in 2022, solidifying his reputation as a pioneer in Kenyan storytelling.
Mo-Faya promises to bring a fresh and compelling voice to the global stage of drama.
