Everyone is engaged. The work is so impressive that I told him, he needed a digital camera to corroborate his work. Do you know he is the brain behind community policing? Mambo bado!!! Anyone out there with a digital camera?

America here we come............................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today at about 3am, I woke up to a shrilling noise.........only to realize, it was from my phone. On Checking, I realize it was one of my sons, Sylvery Sseboh calling to tell me: "Baba pod inindo to Obama oyombo Mama cha.!!" so I became all awake and as I listened it became more and more interesting..............guys, This african blood has made it!! OK, America, here we come....................................................................... read below.........
Cheered by a roaring crowd, Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois laid claim to the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday night, taking a historic step toward his once-improbable goal of becoming the nation's first black president. Hillary Rodham Clinton maneuvered for the vice presidential spot on his fall ticket without conceding her own defeat.
"America, this is our moment," the 46-year-old senator and one-time community organizer said in his first appearance as the Democratic nominee-in-waiting. "This is our time. Our time to turn the page on the policies of the past."
Clinton praised Obama warmly in an appearance before supporters in New York, although she neither acknowledged his victory in their grueling marathon nor offered a concession of any sort.
Instead, she said she was committed to a unified party, and said she would spend the next few days determining "how to move forward with the best interests of our country and our party guiding my way."
Obama's victory set up a five-month campaign with Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona, a race between a first-term Senate opponent of the Iraq War and a 71-year-old Vietnam prisoner of war and staunch supporter of the current U.S. military mission.
And both men seemed eager to begin.
McCain spoke first, in New Orleans, and he accused his younger rival of voting "to deny funds to the soldiers who have done a brilliant and brave job" in Iraq." Americans, he added, should be concerned about the judgment of a presidential candidate who has not traveled to Iraq yet "says he's ready to talk, in person and without conditions, with tyrants from Havana to Pyongyang."
McCain agreed with Obama that the presidential race would focus on change. "But the choice is between the right change and the wrong change, between going forward and going backward," he said.
Obama responded quickly, pausing in his own speech long enough to praise Clinton for "her strength, her courage and her commitment to the causes that brought us here tonight."
As for his general election rival, he said, "It's not change when John McCain decided to stand with George Bush 95 percent of the time, as he did in the Senate last year. It's not change when he offers four more years of Bush economic policies that have failed to create well-paying jobs. ... And it's not change when he promises to continue a policy in Iraq that asks everything of our brave young men and women in uniform and nothing of Iraqi politicians."
In a symbolic move, Obama spoke in the same hall where McCain will accept the Republican nomination at his party's convention in September. Campaign officials, citing the local fire marshal, put the crowd at 17,000 inside the eXcel Energy Center, plus another 15,000 outside.

now you heard it
You heard it yourselves and probably also saw it on TV, the leading mobile service provider Safaricom, broke its own profit record to post 19.945 billion in earnings before tax. this is the highest in the region and this was in the face of all those challenges in the beginning of the year. With revenues crossing 61 billion Kshs, Safaricom is arguably the only billion dollar company according to the CEO MJ.
Now think about it, this is the same company someone wanted you to boycott! hey we need to be a bit smarter. I am happy for those who made a good decision and partook of this huge pie. from the momentum the only way is up.

People are unreasonable, illogical and self centered-
Love them any way!
If you do well, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives—
Do good any way!
If you are successful you will win false friends and true enemies-
Succeed anyway!
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow-
Do good anyway!
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable-
Be honest and frank anyway!
The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the
Smallest people with the smallest minds- think big anyway!
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs
Fight for some Underdog anyway!
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight-
Build anyway!
Give the world the best you’ve got and you’ll get kicked in the teeth-give the world the best you’ve got anyway!
