When it comes to the description of love and romance, Luo rhumba artistes seem to hit new levels of absurdity with each passing day (or song tittle, should I say?). They have a panoply of phrases and song or album tittles, some of which are just ludicrous if not crazy (we'll sample some of them here for good measure). In their best attempt to answer the age-old question, "What is love?" they've only succeeded in confusing themselves and their listeners.  Non-Luos speakers who enjoy Luo rhumba, may think that all Luo rhumba songs are in praise of women. This may be true to an extent but not entirely so. A lot of it is the ever green theme of a want away lover; some artistes praise politicians, others revile them and the rest is nothing but a wretched gabble of revilement of love itself. Their idea of romance never goes beyond crying and complaining about a run-away or want-away lover. They praise them for their beauty and make a half hearted attempt at winning them bac...

Real champs "Bandari are surely the real league champs" writes Philip Onyango in the Daily Nation on Monday 27th May,2019, "I want to boast here that Bandari, who on Sunday sealed the second place in the log, are my 2018/2019 SportPesa Premier League champions". What is Philip's major contention? Well, they (Bandari) traveled the furthest to honour their league fixtures. He writes, "Bandari, at the furthest end of the country, had to travel over 1,000 kilometres week in week out for the congested fixtures which apart from claiming several players through injury as was the case just before the mid-season, also left the playing unit and technical bench fatigued. So, you see Philip thinks that the team that travels the longest distance to honour their fixtures should be the one that wins the title. Nowhere else in the world (Not even in Guatemala ) do we have such a system. But this is not even his major contention. He seems to agree with The Standard's ...

Gor Mahia is almost synonymous with dominance. It is not easy to find a parallel to this kind of domination in other African leagues. Only in Europe do we see it. But then again it is still diffirent because the domination of the likes of Juventus, Celtic, PSG, Real Madrid was/is build by huge amounts of finances. Gor Mahia's dominance on the other hand has been painstakingly slow, and has come about on sheer brilliance in management and a stroke of good luck. But Gor Mahia's dominance is boring. It is the kind of dominance that makes you want to puke. Even Gor Mahia fans are sick of it. They go into a match not wondering whether they'll win or not but by how many goals they'll win. Celebrations have become more or less a duty that has to be endured rather than something to be savoured and enjoyed. Encounters with their so called eternal rivals are so predictable you can almost tell by how many goals they're going to win. There was a time when the mere thought of ...

The art of reporting football in Kenya is as old as football itself. But if you have been reading the back pages in Kenyan Dailies you must be laughing yourself silly over what our reporters have to say. And they all sound the same, it is like one person wrote a template that everyone else has since adopted and their only work has been to do just a little twitching here and there and, voila! The level of misinformation and bias is also appalling, to say the least. Take for example an article by Celestine Olilo for the Daily Nation on Sunday May 19th, 2019 entitled "Kipkirui at the Double Sinks AFC Leopards". She starts, "The difference between regular continental tournament attendees and mere domestic league competitors was on clear display on Sunday at the Moi International Sports Center in Kasarani where Gor Mahia beat AFC Leopards 3-1 in their SportPesa Premier League match". Well, the only thing on clear display was Celestine's biased reporting. She red...

No matter how you look at it, 2016 was the worst year in Gor Mahia's recent history. To put it into perspective, consider the following facts: 2016 remains the only year since 2013 that Gor Mahia has failed to win the league tittle. It was also the first year since 2012 that Gor failed to reach the 60 point mark, let alone surpass it. It was the year Gor Mahia scored the least number of goals since 2013. It was the the only season Gor Mahia top goal scorer failed to get past the 10 goal mark for the season. The only question is, who orchestrated this massive failure? It was one little-known Brazilian going by the name Jose Marcelo Ferreira or "Ze Maria".  Jose Marcelo Fereira "Ze Maria" was the man hand picked by Ambrose Rachier to replace the hugely successful Frank Nuttal. Being a Brazilian by birth, many expected him to bring to Gor Mahia a brand of expansive attacking football spiced with intricate passing and flair that Brazilians are famed for. But w...
