FINALLY TEACHER WANJIKU’S COMEDY SHOW DEBUTS ON CITIZEN-TV



FILM REVIEW
After her departure from the Churchill Show rumors were rife that Teacher Wanjiku wanted to start her own show and this week; Teacher Wanjiku comedy show made its debut on Citizen TV on Friday evening at 8pm.

Unscripted and often weaving in and out of Swahili; Kikuyu; Sheng and English; Teacher Wanjiku is no-nonsense teacher presenting her locality with a universal context.
She has an unusual class too. The usual thug; the blonde girls; the talkative; the bad-boy of the class-you name it.

We wait to see whether the show will leave us in stitches and asking for more!

THIKA’S NARROW BRIDGE





TRAVEL &LEISURE

It’s 6pm and we’re walking from Blue post Hotel in Thika town. A few meters lies a bridge that is the connection into Thika Town-way above the Chania falls.

By now; a crazy-traffic snarl-up has already began because the bridge is so narrow; vehicles need to exercise courtesy.

The bridge can only allow one round flow of cars; meaning vehicles on one side give way to the other side and vice versa.




Meanwhile; I take out my camera to catch some good shots of this narrow-bridge; proverbial of the Bible, ‘narrow is the way…”


But if you thought that was crazy; then you need to see the railway bridge in Nairobi where e it is so crazy it takes hour s to cross to the other side due to human traffic.

BLUE POST HOTEL: a sandwich of two falls…





It is a hotel that has stood for ages at the small town of Thika. Once a colonial haven; Blue Post Hotel is a great get-away for family and friends. And not just family and friends; but also for lovebirds.

It is a sure destination to strengthen your bond in a unique way: picnic; play; mingle; wine; dine and enjoy the best outdoor experience.


Sandwiched between two great falls- the Chania and Thika falls; the serene and green environment is full of birds and other animals.

#BAFTA-AWARDS

Our week long #lupitanyong’o series continues….


12 Years a Slave actress; Lupita Nyong’o may have lost out to Jennifer Lawrence but she still turned heads with her glamorous outfit. Accompanied by her mother; Dorothy Nyong’o on the red carpet at the Bafta Awards in London on Sunday; the two rocking beauties stole the show and they were amazing at it.

12 Years a Slave went ahead to win the coveted best film honor; with British star Chiwetel Ejiofor collecting the best actor Bafta for his role as Solomon Northup.

British director; Steve McQueen collected the Best film trophy for 12 Years a Slave; and thanked his “one and only mother for having the faith –never give up.”

The Baftas can be an indicator of which film go on to win Academy Awards; which take place on the 2 march.

Last year Argo won best film; Daniel Day-Lewis won best actor; and Christoph Waltz and Anne Hathaway took the best supporting acting prizes. They all went on to win Oscars.
