This is my first time blogging. I’ve never done this before but thanks to my favorite employer I get this incredibly, freaking unbelievable, awesome opportunity to do what I do best, write. Well, I already made a couple of few rookie mistakes on my first day, I’m learning. Yeah, laugh it out all you want. Sticks and stones won’t break me, not in the literal sense of course. All in all, I’m glad I’m here. You will all be seeing more of me in the254blogspot. Thank you

The last two months I have decided to reduce the rate at which I watch movies or series, so am reading novels now. Books are more detailed compared to movies. Most movies actually are as a result of a novel or sequel. Take for instance movies such as Angels & Demons, Bourne Ultimatum, The client, The Godfather and many more. Most of the movies have been made based on the books.
When it comes to novels John Grisham is one hell of a good writer. The first book I read is The Firm. Now the firm is a very interesting story about a Harvard lawyer, who get’s hired on the Firm. If you have watched and enjoyed The Firm Season 1 then it shouldn’t come as a surprise the book is even more detailed than the TV series.
The firm is one of John Grisham’s first works and was published in 1991. For a short glimpse about the book, it revolves around Mitch Mcdeere a young and brilliant lawyer who is ready to start practicing Taxation law. He gets hired by a small but rich law firm that little is known about. The firm is strict about who they hire and run background checks before hiring lawyers. Most of the lawyers are straight from Harvard. Mitch Mcdeere inquisitive nature leads him to discover that his employer is running dirty deals for a powerful Mafia family. Mitch digs in into the firm to try to unearth the truth with the help of the FBI. Get the book to find out what happens when the firm identifies Mitch as the mole selling information to the FBI.
The second book I have read is the Hunger games, based on the book the Hunger Games, I didn’t manage to watch the hunger games. But my friends tell me the movie was not worth all the hype. But I understand you can’t cover a whole book in a movie.
The hunger games is based on story about an apocalyptic era where hunger games consists of a selection of competitors called Tributes who participate in a battle to death. The winner takes the crown. Katniss Everdeen and Peeta are the major attraction and will battle out with other tributes from other cities. Katniss uses her hunting skills to survive. It’s a very interesting adventure, action and science fiction type of novel. Hunger games is the first novel on the hunger games trilogy which is followed by Catching Fire and then mocking Jay all adapted from the first book. Once you read the hunger games you will understand what the mocking jay is.
Fifty shades of grey, not your average adventure or action novel this book is based on a young college senior student named Ana who meets Christian a rich and good looking CEO on an interview. Ana is covering for Kate her best friend who is not feeling well. She gets attracted to Christian during the interview only for Christian to appear at her workplace. After finishing her exam Ana, Kate and Jose go to the club to celebrate. She ends up drunk dialing Christians who later comes and picks her and takes her to his house. Christian is not the normal romantic, flower kind of guy; they get intimate and agree to have a relationship based on BDSM (Google that it’s hard to explain). To cut the story short this is an interesting erotic story kind of novel. I enjoyed reading although am not planning to read the next book on this Fifty shades Trilogy. The book is going to be made to a movie soon.
The Poet by Michael Connelly is a story about a crime reporter whose cop brother suicide death elicits an investigation of a string of murders. Jack McEvoy is the only guy who thinks that his brother’s death was not a suicide. After unearthing the killer’s pattern by the Poem and notes left jack together with FBI agents start tracking the killer who is very careful. The killer targets cops who are working on homicide cases, he kills them to make it look like a suicide after the cops fail to find the culprits. I couldn’t stop reading this book. I would describe it as a novel with a suspense and turn of events. If your into investigative and crime thriller novels then you should look for this novel.
Lastly am reading Gone tomorrow by Lee Child to be honest am still trying to figure out the book as I haven’t gone very far. But the story is already building up and becoming better.
So there you have it guys if you know of any interesting novels that you have read or would recommend. Probably Crime thrillers, Drama, Action are my favorites. Leave a comment here.

Umoja residents have woken up to a sad morning after a train collided with a bus at Mutindwa Market.The umoja bus crash accident happened after the bus was caught up on traffic and was not able to evade the train.Umoinner buses have been plying the buru buru route to avoid traffic jam at Donholm roundabout.
6 people so far have been confirmed dead and many others injured.
Umoinner buses that ferry people from Umoja Nairobi area have recently been involved in accidents causing people to speculate that they are affiliated to Illuminati.Now you can say anything folks but we need our drivers to sober up and learn from the loss of lives that takes place everyday in Kenya.The train has a fixed schedule to pick people at Mutindwa market and its no surprise that bus ought to have given way to the train first.
I have never understood how so many accident happen and i mean on a daily basis, innocent Kenyans losing lives due to either roadworthy vehicles, over speeding, reckless drunk drivers and roads. We can only hope for journey mercies going by the way things are.This accident could have happened to a matatu or even a private vehicle.
My final say is a rule has to be made that no car crosses the railway line 10 minutes before the train passes, also they have to think and redesign the whole set up on that intersection.
We wish all casualties quick recovery and Rest in peace to the fallen passengers.

She came she saw she conquered!! That’s the new definition of Wanjiku the Teacher. Caroline Wanjiku aka Teacher Wanjiku is one of the Top comedians on Churchill show that have risen in the shortest time. Her witty jokes will crack your ribs like no one else. Previously comedy has been dominated by Men the likes of former Redykulas crew and intrukalas including Churchill himself. Teacher Wanjiku has elevated the Churchill show by making it even more popular. You don’t wanna miss her lessons. How many people can make you laugh with only a chalk and a piece of a board? Her style of comedy is very unique and easy to relate to.
Teacher Wanjiku started doing her thing at the Heartstrings theater by appearing on a play titled 43rd Kenyan tribe. She got her big break on Churchill show after her YouTube video got a massive 200,000 views on YouTube after the first show. Since then her videos on YouTube titled Teacher Wanjiku Lessons have gotten a big viewership.
Airtel Kenya was quick to notice her talent and she has signed up a multi million deal with Airtel as their face for the 2 bob across all network Campaign. Her photos are all over on billboards and on TV ads which I think has also boasted her resume in the Comedy industry. Just like Eric Omondi started. Some people think she has replaced Omondi’s popularity on Churchill show. Personally I tune in just to watch her finalize and close the show.
Beside that Teacher Wanjiku is a proud parent of a young daughter who happens to be also her number one fan.
She also recently launched a website where you can learn more about her comedy and shows. The website has a twitter feed to follow her activities, photo gallery and some of her jokes.
Stay tuned for more..Kaa Lada…ALama ya duku duku!!!

I came across one of the cheapest data bundle plan in Kenya at the moment just the other day - Airtel Club 20 tosha bundle. I got to say it's economical and efficient. We all know Kenyans love for cheap internet, some even prefer free internet using unscrupulous ways like proxies. If you are a single day average internet user then the Airtel Kenya club 20 is you best bet.It comes with 100mb and 20 free sms.Subscribing to the offer is quite simple you just dial
*120# >>select option 1>> subscribe to club 20 100mb of data and 20 sms.
The only catch with this offer is that it runs from time of subscription to midnight 12pm.Comparing it with orange Kenya’s daily unlimited that goes for 50sh with a FUP of 100mb(that means after reaching 100mb the speeds reduce to 64kbps).I have used both services before and i prefer Airtel club 20 bundle compare to orange daily unlimited. So most people don't trust Airtel's services but i can vouch for this one. Note after exhausting the 100mb given the account runs on pay as you go plan, meaning it starts using your main account.
This is a good offer comparing the price of 100mb on all three mobile service providers.
Safaricom 80mb 100ksh
Airtel 80mb 100ksh
Orange Kenya 100mb 100ksh
as you can see both Safaricom and airtel Kenya don't even have 100mb package. The airtel club 20 bundle can be used on your phone or your modem. You can give it a trial.

Am a breaking bad die hard fan and I got to say I was kinda disappointed that it came to an end.But every good thing reaches an end point. i watched Breaking bad last episode, it was one hell of anticipation all through. If you haven't watched the series you should be looking for it ASAP. With ratings of 9.5 from IMDB you bet its worth the title of one of the best series of all time. The finale episode of breaking bad was filled with suspense and different turn of events. Jesse Pinkman worked against Walter white trying to revenge for the attempted poisoning of his girlfriend's son. I thought he would realize that all the time it was Walter's plan to do that to save the day.
I have watched many series but breaking bad top it all from the Cast. Especially Saul Goodman the lawyer, “better call Saul”, “If you're committed enough, you can make any story work. I once told a woman I was Kevin Costner, and it worked because I believed it” - Saul Goodman .The only time Saul didn't have a solution to crisis was when he advised Walter to go MIA. For those who have not watched the show yet I don't want to dish some spoilers to you guys. A good TV series consists of suspense and living you anxious for the next dramatic thing to happen. But be warned there will be many casualties on this final episode of breaking bad.
Bye folks

The former Tusker project fame presenter is gracing the Billboards with semi nude advert photos. I bet you knew Kenyans were going to talk about it. We are not used to this kind of adverts .I will say that this got to be a very smart move by Unilever to use a Entertainment figure like Sheila Mwanyigha who is currently a presenter with NTV am live.
If you have used Uhuru highway, jogoo road or stumbled upon the Advert on Norwich union mama ngina street then you will have to agree the advert is going to sell more to men.I almost forgot Vaseline lotion still exists .Now the supermarkets will be flooded with men asking for directions to the lotion counter only to find the product not bearing the bootylicious figure of Sheila Mwanyigha photos..he..he.
Reminds me of the program that used to air on K-24 something, like K-connect .Where the presenters were talking about sex with the disguise of Mombasa raha. Indeed sex sells period. Are we moving from the conservative nation to more liberal country with a new crop of the so called Divas and celebrities like Huddah Monroe and Vera sidika? For me the advert is moderate I don’t mind appreciating smooth and curvaceous body. It goes beyond to show of one’s responsibility to eat and take care of you body.
The next time you come across the advert and you are driving please keep your eyes focused on the pedal to the metal. Hapa najua kutakua na shida!!

3.Go to Whatsapp application on your mobile phone and choose add contacts then go to accounts and sync. Then choose add account and select corporate. You will get an option to add an Exchange account. Type your full email address and password and click next.
4.What follows is an account set up for your exchange account to be synched with Whatsapp contacts. For the domain\username type your full hotmail account e.g. xyz@hotmail.com then server change from hotmail.com to m.hotmail.com.Nb:make sure to select use secure connection(SSl) and click Next to finish
5.If it’s successful you will then go to the next page and select what you want to be synced. You can choose to only sync the contacts leaving out Sync email and Sync Calendar.

The ZTE MF192 modem has been one tough nut to crack.I have owned my dongle for almost 2 years with no success on how to unlock it and have it accept different sim cards from other service providers.
I tried using DC-Unlocker which most of you know about but even them they didn't have a fully working solution to get it unlocked. i had owned a Huawei E173-u1 modem before which i got unlocked using their software.The only website that was doing the unlock was charging a whooping $20.Good news is that now you can get it at only $4.As we are speaking i have already managed to unlock my ZTE MF192 modem.My modem was locked to orange kenya and could not accept other sim cards from safaricom or airtel.The following is a screenshot of the software in use.Another good thing about it is it doesn't require the internet to do the unlock.
NB:
Insert the modem on you computer, give it time to initialize and detect the modem.Then close the default in these case Internet Everywhere orange interface
Open the ZTE MF192 modem unlock and click Unlock.Wait for around 30 seconds and the modem will display the unlock is done.Unplug it and plug it in again.if the modem was giving you an unlock code prompt it should be gone by now.There you have it your modem unlocked at only $4.
Let me just break it down to you the real cost of unlocking is $15 but the cost of paying for the service is $16. I can prove it by actually give you the unlock tool at no charge and direct you as to how you should unlock it.
Upon doing the payment i will send you the link or the software on you email. A money back guarantee for all those who use his method and it seems not to work will be accorded.

NB:
- Most anti-virus software will detect it as a Trojan or malware.Therefore you need to disable the anti-virus for around 10 min as you do the unlock.Then you can enable it later.
- Also make sure you have not upgraded the User interface for internet everywhere 3G+ otherwise it may bring a problem during the unlock
- Make sure you insert the sim card that you want to use with the unlocked GSM modem.
- Run the program as the Administrator or with an account with admin rights
