As a local sports fan; I am one happy guy-Kenya will host
the 2018 Africa Nations Championship(CHAN).T this was officially confirmed by
Confederation of African Football (CAF) after an executive meeting held on
Friday at the CAF headquarters in Cairo; Egypt.
With Kenya’s bid accepted; now the hard part comes in- to
put together a working Local Organizing Committee (LOC) to seek funds and put
in place other logistics starting immediately.
Kenya had missed out on the bid to host the 2019 Africa Cup
of Nations finals after the Government failed to provide the necessary
guarantees on time.
With such a magnitude event; my bet is on Nairobi; Mombasa;
Machakos; Kisumu and Nakuru counties to step up and host the tournament.
Kenya last attempted to host a continental tournament in
1966; but pulled out citing lack of finances and Government support for the
Africa Nations Cup. South Africa went on to host and win the tournament.
The federation will need close to 500M to host a successful
event in 2018- it will be a plus for the fans and the national team too to play
in a continental event if they miss out on 2015 Africa Cup of Nations in
morocco and the 2016 CHAN in Rwanda.
arch 2nd is a day awaited by many film and
movie-buffs. It is the day for the Oscars; and 12 Years a Slave;
starring Kenyan actress Lupita Nyong’o is looking forward to nine wards.
Kenyans are hoping Lupita will be the first Kenyan to win an Oscar; but even as
we wait; the actress has added yet another feather to her cap by winning one
more award.
The National Association for the Advancement of Coloured
People (NAACP) Awards were announced at The Pasadena Civic Auditorium in
California USA.
Also known as the Image Awards; the NAACP Awards celebrate
the accomplishment of people of color in film, television, music and
literature.
She grabbed the award for Outstanding Supporting actress in
a motion picture for her work in 12 Years a Slave.
She beat Oprah (once again) in The Butler as well as her
co-star Alfre Woodard, Mandela: long walk to freedom’s
Naomie Harris and Fruitvale Station’s Octavia Spencer.
“it has been a historic year in film for all of us in this room, and I
am so proud to be a part of that history;” said Lupita, adding that “it
was such an honor to be recognized for a
film that has meant so much to so many people, a film that has inspired
discourse long overdue.”
12 Years a Slave; directed by Steve McQueen; was a winner too;
bagging the Most Outstanding Motion Picture. Forest Whitaker in Lee Daniel’s The
Butler; won Outstanding Actor; and Angela Basset went home with the
Outstanding Actress award.
Whitaker’s co-actor David Oyelowo won the Outstanding
Supporting Actor award.
With the Oscars around the corner; Lupita’s fellow nominees
for the Best Actress in a supporting role for the 86th edition of
the Oscars include Jennifer Lawrence in American Hustle; Julia Roberts in August:
Osage County, June Squib in Nebraska and Sally Hawkins in Blue
Jasmine.
What is the prize-tag you ask for an Oscar? Well, frankly
there is no money-attached to an award (it sucks I know) but a win (this sounds
eve more good) for any actor or actress gives him or her bargaining power to
charge more for an appearance on a film.
Lupita’s win keeps her the favorite for the Oscars to be
announced this Sunday!
