Some of my favorite Novels i enjoy reading

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.

Teacher Wanjiku funniest comic in Nairobi

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.

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.

Breaking Bad finale Episode was the bomb

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.

 Even though I was pissed by some of Walters antics on this final episode of breaking bad, like for instance the part where Jesse Pinkman and Hank(DEA boss) set up Walter by sending him a photo suggesting they had found the stash of money Walter hid in the desert. I think Walter was not smart enough to rush first to the scene. All through it has been very hard to corner the guy and he has always played smart and cautious. Anyway overall the plot played well at the end I was happy he managed to revenge and get back to the guys who stole his money. Now that breaking bad is over I will be waiting for the return of Game of thrones season 4 on 2014.Currently I want to continue watching Homeland. Check out other series I like here.
Bye folks

Latest Kenyan local music videos on my playlist

Latest Kenyan local music videos on my playlist.

Well I haven’t been listening to a lot of local Kenyan songs in the recent past. I realized so much in terms of Kenyan local music has passed. Not because there are no good songs or artiste, well Kenyan artist are very unpredictable. Most of them being one hit wonder. My question is are they really into music or are they just trying to test the waters and see if the reception will be good then continue with their careers. It’s a competitive and tough world in to make it in the Kenyan music industry. Especially living off your career from the money made from music sales is not even realistic. We love free things and don’t value the effort the musician put to their music to produce, shoot videos and market their songs by pirating their songs had a very sad story about Rose muhando’s music video getting pirated in Muthurwa hours after shooting the video in our beloved country.
I think we have a long way to go to start buying records from our artistes and promoting the industry. But also the artistes need to up their game in terms of the quality of lyrics and videos. When I say lyrics I also mean the message they try to convey in their songs. Most songs that our artistes chuck can only hit in our backyard. Songs that rarely attract listeners from worldwide, But I have encountered local Kenyan songs that have very poor lyrics but very nicely done videos. I think there is a very big market for good lyricists in Kenya. If only we had our very own R. Kelly’s, NEYO, Alicia keys and Mariah Carrey’s. For me to get wooed by Kenyan music the artists got to up their lyrics by all means necessary. At least most videos being released right now are good compared to 2 or 3 years ago, big up all producers and those behind the videos.
Anyway I wanted to highlight some of the songs I have come across these week that I have kept re-playing some not because the lyrics are good or the videos are stunning but they can hold their own In the competition.
One of my favorite artistes is Wyre, his music and videos never disappoint. His latest collaboration with Juakali is called Khadija. Nice song and video check it out its brand new.Wyre ft Juacali - Khadija remix


These other one was also a mad tune is Dancehall party.i don't understand how these song didn't rule the charts.



P-Unit have also been consistent in chucking good songs. Well they have mastered their act and it seems to be doing well with the current generation of music lovers. I will not delve into their older songs which I also think were done very well. But You Guy was my favorite, read (the sexy models on the videos). Everybody has been talking about the bootylicious video vixen on the video. What’s her name?  Vee S  something. She packs quite some stronghold there..lol!!.Bottom line the video is good.


 The next video Fimbo chapa..i still don’t understand which fimbo they are talking about.
DNa is back in the music scene, reminds me of Banjuka that brought him to the scene.The song also has variety of artiste i guess from signed to grandpa records, the likes of Gangalito,QTY.etc




Tokelezea – just like its title the video and song tokelezead good. I have always listened to Abbas songs from way back since the days of K-South when they used to spit with Bamboo. These guys could have taken Kenyan hiphop far if they were consistent and stuck to that shit. Plus the beautiful ……??



The next video makes to the list by the fact that it was a tight collaboration of famous cats in the industry from Prezzo,nikki, wyre and the main man Abbas. Chapaa Remix - Prezzo,Wyre,Abbas,Nikki,Cannibal,DnG



To end my list i got to say Redsan’s latest song is a mad tune..For those who haven’t had of it its called Badder than most.Redsan is known to chuck nice videos with fly mamasilas. Am looking out for the video, which I expect to be amazing. Check out the audio



There you have it might not be the best songs but that’s what been playing on my screen these week.Looking out for more good Local songs and videos to come.

Top 10 best electrohouse,progressive house,Trance dance songs

I can't believe we in March...Working at night especially up to midnight you don't realize how time and days move fast. I just realized the date on my computer indicates March 01 I guess it’s the Techno and house beats am listening on my pc as I work.
Am in love with Electro House music, the likes of Swedish mafia, Tiesto , martin Solvieg and David Guetta. That’s how I have come up with this list of my Top 10 Electro House, progressive house and Techno songs that I have been listening to, Number one on the list got to be

1- One by Swedish mafia -

 These is one good song by Swedish mafia, I love the part just after the song starts, it’s like a speeding motor cycle. Everything is captured in this song

2 - Martin Solvieg - The night out.

This song still brings memories when I used to love to party. I still do anyway but not much. The songs make sense when the volume is turned on to the maximum and the speakers are booming.


3 - Swedish mafia - Don't worry child

I think I have a good taste no bragging on these, I had this lady friend who found the song on my playlist and was so excited to get via Bluetooth. The Swedish mafias are real mafia on the kind of song.


4 - The Party Rock anthem - LMFAO

The first time I heard these songs I knew it was going to be a hit. It has a good video with lots of energy and creativity. They borrowed the Everyday am hustling and turned it to shuffling.The song is mostly a dance-pop kind of song. It also mimics the lyrics to Rick Ross "Hustling". The LMFAO is comprised of Redfoo and SkyBlu.

5 - Last train to paradise - Kdrew -

The drops on the remix is very good. Awesome song by Kdrew, remember don’t miss the last train to paradise while listening to this song..Kidding!! I almost blew my ears while listening to this song on my phone.

6- Spectrum - Zedd ft Matthew Koma-
These songs starts low but as you progress you gonna love it.Discussing the video with Rolling Stone, Zedd said these during an interview with rolling stone magazine “I wanted the video to capture the ever-changing energy and emotion of the song through real human feelings ... It takes you on a journey through love, loss, contentment and anxiety. Musically, the chord progression I wrote captured the feeling and tension, unpredictability and the unknown. The video portrays this through a relationship between a man (human) and woman (alien) and the dynamics/excitement between the two of them."
7 - Rapture - Nadia ali












Rapture was a major hit for the lovely Nadia Ali, it stayed at No 2 in the UK music charts for a very long time. It’s an Electronic dance music, trance; house type of song that will keep you dancing on the floor. Nadia who is of Pakistan decent voice makes it even sound better with her Arabic kind of accent. Rapture was the first song she wrote

8 - No beef by Afro Jack & steve Aoki ft miss palmer
Is a song by the producer Afrojack featuring Steve Aoki. It was release on 16th august 2011.
Afrojack kills it in this song...Vocals my Miss Palmer sound very good as she transitions from high to low.
9 - Why do I care - Tydi ft Tania zygar
This song was released on the year 2011, by the Australian DJ cum producer Tydi in collaboration with Tania zygar.
I particularly liked the Clashbakc remix.

10 - Bromance - Tim Berg
This song has like 69 million views on YouTube, Popular song I have to say. The video is also very nice.
Avicii got mad talent as it’s displayed on this song

Rihanna hints on having baby with Boyfriend Chris Brown

The diamonds singer has been pictured in the recent past together with boyfriend Chris brown. And things seem to be looking up after Chris also admitted to having done the wrong thing to her in which she apologized and was forgiven. Recently she has posted a suggestive photo on twitter of Chris Brown holding her as they celebrated her 25th birthday.

During a recent interview with Elle magazine for April Edition she was quoted saying “I will probably have a kid. And I’m praying I can go on vacation for a good month. And I’ll have set some things up so I don’t have to tour for the rest of my life, even though I love touring. I want health and happiness in five years. I want to be healthy and happy.'
Rihanna’s stay single which has been on number seven on Billboard Hot 100 list for quite some time said that the song reflects on Love that’s very close to the heart and wishing that it can last. She also said that
“You don’t feel that with everybody so when you have it you don’t want to let it go of it. Most of the Songs actually that she has been releasing before they reconciled and started dating again with Chris Brown were a hint that she missed Chris Brown and wished to get him back to her life, for instance Where have you been all my life, Diamonds and Stay

She also talked during the Elle interview about her controversial twitter updates and affirmed that she is real as it can get, and there is no point in hiding what goes around, which I think is a very bold move...She was quoted saying “ Everybody wanted to know what was happening in my life. Is she a drug addict? No. Is she an alcoholic? No. Is she a victim? No. That’s when I got the gun [tattoo]. It was a symbol of strength. I’ll never be a victim.’
'That’s why I’m posting pictures of myself smoking pot, to tell the truth about myself. I’ve got so much to think about, why bring all this extra s*** by being dishonest?’
Rihanna’s Elle magazine is incredibly sexy, the photos also shows off her incredibly sexy body that most ladies hope for. I am sure Chris Brown must be one lucky guy to have beauty and talent all in the same package. The photos were shot in Paris by Marianno Vivanco.

One where Rihanna spots a catwoman look showing off her gun tattoo. She also rocked other designer by Maison, Martin Margiela, Louis Vuitton and Givenchy.

I think being in the limelight people tend to judge someone on every move they make. Rihanna and Chris brown are now grown and with experience on Love and heartbreaks. You can’t compare the time the ugly incident happened with now Chris was very young and Rihanna was madly in love with him.
Rihanna has said that she wants to do this right. We got a fresh start and I’m thankful for that. Now that we’re adults we can do this right. We got a fresh start and I’m thankful for that. Right now that’s just what we want, a great friendship that’s unbreakable.'
Everybody has a right to her freedom to choose and according to her twitter and instagram updates you will be shocked if you find her smoking joints sometimes in strip clubs, or in tiny weenie bikini frolicking on da beaches of Hawaii.

The only thing she said she is afraid of is her mother who came across leaked photos of her naked on the internet. This is what she had to say...”I’m not afraid of any person in this world but my mother. I’m terrified of her!
'She called me two days ago and reeled me in about two naked pictures Melissa [her best friend] put up on Instagram - a sneak-peek from a photo book she’s making about me. My mom, she went crazy on me.”

The singer also showcased her fashion collection line for River Island; she said that it doesn’t just appeal to the high fashion but also to the common street fashion. Rihanna’s designer is Adam sellman who also happens to clothes her on stage and on Music videos.

We hope to see her in more magazines this year.

Peaceful Proseperous Optimistic Kenya is what we look forward to on March 4

We heading to the general elections soon, we all know how last time it ended up ugly. If you proud of being called a Kenyan then you understand that we are not many tribes, but one tribe  Kenyans’ have never heard of anybody that goes in another country and markets his tribe or when asked where do you come from says Central, Coast or Nyanza. We are one Kenya and we will remain before and after elections. Let’s cast our votes wisely and peacefully.
Let’s understand that our leaders got their interests vested in the positions that they are vying for, what are your interests. We live together every day, work together, struggle together and share the joy and victories together.
Let’s vote reasonably and focus, I know most people vote because the leader is popular. Opinion polls have their jobs and trust me they thrive and get their daily bread from the Polls.
Think about the aftermath of elections. None of the leaders will pay your bills; invite you for lunch or thank you by giving you some favors. The Kenya that we always look for or dream of is determined by you and me. After all  the leaders come to get your votes because we are the determinant of our future.
Therefore don't blame the leaders when you go quarreling and fighting with your fellow Kenyans because they have different t views on who they will vote for.
Am looking forward to peaceful  march 4 elections. Am optimistic that we are in a much better state than the previous last general elections, am positive and will not encourage the thought of any post-election troubles.
Love + Peace + Happiness + Bright Kenya

Top 10 TV series of 2012

Top 10 TV series of 2012 according to Me

This is a list of series that I have watched have not just picked them from nowhere, I have watched and enjoyed them most of them to the last episode.

Let’s get started am sure if you are a fun of TV series whether Action, Drama, Romance, Science fiction or even comedy you know what I mean.

1) Homeland – These series is rated 8.6/10 by IMDB which is a good rating for this newcomer series.

It revolves on a story about Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody(Damian Lewis)  who comes back to his family after 8 years of going missing in Iraq where he was tortured and corrupted to join the Muslim faith. The series doesn’t fall off stars that make up the cast with names such as Claire Danes, the beautiful Morena Baccarin (I like her on V series) and the young Morgan Saylor who plays Brody’s daughter. Brody is forced to cope with the disconnect created after leaving her wife who has fallen for Brody’s old friend Sgt Mike Faber. I pity the army sometime on a serious real note, leaving your beautiful wife for 8 years and expect no one will bang her, that’s hard to imagine..lol!! Check it out if you haven’t yet. With season 1 and 2 completed let’s wait for season 3 2013

2) Suits – Rated 8.9 by IMDB, I think I like watching series that have good ratings, it just happens.

Suits is a comedy drama series that revolves around Mike Ross who is a genius. Mike (Patrick J. Adams) is introduced to the law firm after a drug deal goes sour and he ends up being hired by Harvey (Gabriel Macht) who discovers this kid can make a formidable duo as lawyers. They work together combining Harvey’s aggressive and non emotional type of lawyer and mikes ingenuity .The series is full of some office drama with mike’s endeavors to win the Sexy Rachel Zane, funny thing is Rachel who struggled to pass her Harvard exams doesn’t know that mike who used to sit for exams for other students will end up doing the exam for her. The series has other notable stars such as Gina Torres and rick Hoffman.

3)Person of Interest – These series is  revolves around a software genius Harold Finch(Michael Emerson) who made a lot of money by coming up with a surveillance system that watches everybody’s move by using cell phones, computers, webcams and street cams to monitor acts of violence and act to stop them. Together with an Ex CIA operative John Reese they use the machine to apprehend criminals and prevent deaths. Together the two work against the Police and CIA that are still looking for the whereabouts of the John Reese. But they don’t know the mystery guy is john who has inside connection by gaining the trust of two police officers inside the force Detective Carter and Fusco. Detective Fusco is a former bad cop who is trying to reform and the fight for justice. The series is rated 8.3/10 and it sure is packed with some good action, drama and mystery

4) Magic City -  I never thought I would enjoy this series but I did. It talks about the life of Miami Mobsters in the early 1959 who run unscrupulous drug businesses ,gambling .The story revolves around Ike Evans who runs the Magnificent Miramar hotel that’s is overlooking the beach of Miami. Ike is struggling to keep up with the life of running a big hotel, dealing with gangsters, hookers and raising his family. Her wife the gorgeous Vera Evans(Olga Kurylenko) played by the Ukrainian beauty with from Cuba who used to be a dancer is also trying to fit in to these lifestyle and playing the mother to Ike’s children who are grown. Ike constantly is crossing with the Mob boss the butcher who loaned him some money to secure the hotels expenses and Taxes. The authority also is on his heels concerning a murder that they suspect he was involved in. I don’t want to spill everything get it to see for yourselves. Expect some life of Miami at night. The series is rated 7.5/10

5)Hell on Wheels – rated 8.1/10 these TV series is awesome. I never thought I would sit down watching some Western drama. Its based on 1850s struggle to build the Transcontinental Railroad. Thomas ‘doc’ Durant who supervises the railroad, He appoints Cullen Bohannan a former soldier and slaveholder and a gunslinger to lead the violent slaves. Bohannan means business and will do anything to see it done. They also work together with Lily bell who has the surveying skills. Bohannan is haunted by his past and has to deal with leading the slaves who are struggling to cope with Racism with the blacks being downplayed by the white slaves. These series is full of action, Drama , and even Romance watched season 1 and 2 and really enjoyed, only one person who dies at the end of season 2 and I feel like its gonna kill the show. Am not gonna tell you who that is just get it Cowboy.

6) Last Resort – If you like naval warfare stories with submarines and guns these is your show. After defying orders to fire a nuclear missile in Pakistan the Nuclear submarine picks Navy seals in the sea after they came back from a Mission that went wrong in Pakistan. The captain refuses to fire the missile since it would hurt innocent people and thus the government turns to him and threatens the whole crew. The crew has to fight to survive after docking on an abandoned Navo station to take refuge where they encounter resistance from the natives of the island. The crew also grows weary and starts resisting the leadership of their captain. The series is graced by beautiful cast the likes of Daisy Betts, Camille De pazzis, Dichen lachman. Won’t write much about this show I feel bad it got cancelled but I enjoyed up to Episode 11 waiting for 12 probably the last episode. I give it a 7.6/10 though

7) Revenge – Amazing show by TV.com. The story starts after Emily Thorne rents a house in the Hamptons with the intention of getting back to the people who killed and destroyed his father. She’s out for revenge and few people know that. She plays cool and normal even though she has got plans to get her revenge one person after the other. I know this show is good and am still watching it so am not gonna tell you much but look for it if you haven’t done so. Season 1 is complete and season 2 is almost coming to a close. The show is rated 8.8/10 by TV.com, Similar series are Ringer or lying game

8) House of Lies – These show by SHOWTIME is one hell of a drama with Don Cheadle playing Marty kaan a clever and slick consultant that leads his team of consultants who convince corporate clients to in striking business deals, mergers and corrupt deals. Cheadle is also dealing with separation from his Ambitious attractive wife. The show brings out the satire in America corporate world of today. The show also is graced by the gorgeous and Sexy Kristen Bell who is struggling to keep her relationship with his boyfriend alive with his her looks and every man wishing they would have her. Nice one from showcase..Remember Californication and Trueblood which are hits too are shows by SHOWCASE.Check it out season 2 is starting on 2013

9)Arrow – Arrow as the name suggests is story of a Billionaire son who survives a deadly shipwreck accident and re-appears after 5 years to write the wrongs in the city where he used to be a playboy carefree young bloke. His father left him a list of the people that need to be eliminated to clean up the city of Bad business people and secret society that exists that his father used to be a member of. Oliver queen is the hooded mystery archer by night and normal son of a rich family during the day. He also comes into terms with his absence and is trying to reconcile with her Girlfriend whose father is a detective that is trying to unmask the mystery of the hooded guy. These series is action packed as Arrow fights with bad guys and kills them or destroys them. His mother is part of this society and has a lot of secrets that his stepfather is also starting to know. Like the Wreckage of the ship. The un accounted money that disappeared from the account to purchase a warehouse. Great performance by Kate Cassidy.I liked her on Melrose Place plus she is fierce and sexy..

10) Finally My long time favorite comedy – How I Met Your Mother – Its legen – wait for it dary.These show is not new but it still is my favorite can put the DVD and start from any season and it still rocks.Barney Stinson and Robin Scherbatsky are my favorite. From season 1 – 8, season 8 where marshal and lily are playing parents to their son and Robin is still confused since she dated Barney.Barney even tries to woo her once again. I think both have feelings for each other. Anyway you need to suit up and check out this awesome series.

I love watching TV series feel free to tell me of any series that you too have watched that I need to check out. The list doesn’t mean I haven’t watched other series I watch vampires too. I think 2012 I watched a lot of action series now am will try to watch more comedy and Hospital Drama, Law drama or something of the sort. if know I didn’t mention Breaking Bad but it technically on the list, I haven’t watched season 5 and that’s what am doing Next.

What Rihanna Wants Most In A Man

RIhanna i want's a partner in crime, some man who can love me and be fun to be with
Many people always see her wearing the weaves am also surprised she did the interview in her real hair.She still looks pretty to me.

"Fun times" she got everything but i think she still misses Chris Brown a lot.In my own opinion she looks bitter while saying that.

Many people think these stars got the strength to handle situations but in real sense they are just as vulnerable just like us folks that are not on the limelight.

Even oprah thinks she's rihanna the Bad girl,Bad ass kinda girl but she ain't.She is so down to earth even in her home town of Barbados.
Watch out for the whole video on Monday after it airs on Oprah Tomorrow.

Van Persi Gone Baby Gone to Manchester United

Damn it, i guess we never saw it coming.How do you move to your number 1 rival team.i have always supported arsenal but the players are too greedy.Now Van Pasi decides to leave after a long speculation. I thought he made up his mind after keeping us anxious wondering whether he would stick with Arsenal.But anyway, these is like marrying your wife's number one threat or enemy.Or dating your Girlfriends best friend, it just ain't right.

But anyway life is all about the money. And fame so he decides to leave arsenal because the trophy cabinet has been empty for quite some time.I won't blame him but got to admit am dissapointed by Arsene Wenger, arsenal seems like an academy where we train the best then offload them and sell them to our competitors.Its odd that all our best players move to our rival teams.Things would be better atleast if the players went to play for teams in Asia like Drogba and Anelka did.Both are good players but i think they had to move on and concur with the fact that they are getting old and less productive to their team.

Back to arsenal who i think are kinda of Stock Traders.They buy the players at a very cheap bidding then they sell them after molding them.
These is one reason why they never get trophies, the coach is so busy nurturing talent instead of focusing on winning.
Lets see what he brings to Man-U, i don't mind him scoring against Man City but Arsenal nah!!
I will make sure i don't watch those games against arsenal remembering what happened, that doesn't mean am not a diehard fan but we have to change some strategies if we are to regain our top spot or even win a trophy.

My two cents!!!!!!!!!!
