December 12, 2023 Mwalimu's Lessons on Socialism - Julius Nyerere & The Ujamaa Dream
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. But what if it didn't? What if it only showed the true character of the person who held it and what if that person at their core was only interested in the good of the nation and the growth of its people?
Enter Julius Kabarage Nyerere, the first president of the People's Republic of Tanganyika. Albeit firm and strong-minded, he came his vision was for a united Tanganyika and a need for social accountability.

December 12, 2023 The Collar Job - A Curious Case of the Stone the Mason Accepted
We all are privy to the exciting and ruthless world of cons, grifters and scam artists. But in the cutthroat world of chisellers, one group stands as kings of the mountain when it comes to hustling - faith healers and prosperity preachers. And none could be better in the game than the maestro of miracles himself, Archbishop Gilbert of the Deya Ministries.
A pedigree preacher with the gift of garb and confidence of a sales shark, Deya was able to sell himself into the souls of his congregants while buying himself a fat stake in temporal wealth amounting to Millions in Sterling Pounds. But what made him most famous would be a story that would shock even the most fertile of people.

May 22, 2023 When Writers Become Warriors - Ken Saro Wiwa
Imagine waking up one day to find an uninvited stranger ploughing your field, or even worse, eating your food straight from the kitchen. To add to the irony, the watchman who you have at the gates is the one who has sanctioned their entrance and now, you cannot do anything.
That story is incredulous. But the Ogoni people knew too well circumstances that would be comparable to this. From thriving as small scale fishermen to their land being auctioned off to the ravaging companies that sought to mine their oil, this hit a tad bit too close to home. Then along came a hero, Ken Saro Wiwa.

May 15, 2023 Wagalla Massacre - When A Government Fights its Own People
What happens when a government decides to profile its own people based on their peculiar culture and lifestyle? Well, for the Dagojia community, little is left to the imagination for in 1984, under the sanction of the executive government, thousands of their men, aged from 12 years and above were rounded up and taken to Wagallah Air Strip for 'enhanced interrogation.' What followed were perhaps the worst atrocities to be committed to a people who for the most part, were victims of a government that failed them.

May 06, 2023 The Gold Heist - A scandal that almost crippled a nation.
In this episode, I talk about one man who almost brought Kenya's economy to its knees. A man who seemingly has an eye for precious metals and is slippery enough to slide into the courts of the monarchs of Africa. More than that, I speak of the hero, who like his name, was a David of his era in facing the goliaths of corruption to save a fledgeling economy, though never to get the recognition he deserved.
