According to Sish, exchanging a business card is as good as kissing. She reports the ‘kissing incident’ to Julia who goes ahead to confront her mother, and much to the shock of some ‘observers’, that’s OJ and Sish, slaps her mother on the face. Miss Morgan happens to be watching too, in disbelief.
It later emerges that Julia’s parents are divorcing. As you watch her plead with her mother, “Please don’t leave us…I’m sure you can work it out”, your heart cannot help going out to a young person in her position. Experts would tell us that a family breaking apart is one of the most painful experiences. What this does to the children is devastating.
What if someone’s decision is to blame for this? It’s possible to feel anger and frustration towards such a person, yet many people think it’s acceptable to cheat on a spouse. Before someone looks at this issue as casually as the society is gravitating towards, it might help to take a good look at your family, which you value (assuming you do), and know that you could be writing a sentence to its demise, and permanently affect other peoples lives, whom you claimed to care about, for good! Quite sobering, isn’t it?

Hellon to Appear on Crosstalk @ 8PM on Family TV
Most people believe that Finger of God, headed by Hellon, is a cult. He however doesn’t think so. In a snapshot of the interview, Hellon challenges anyone to come out in the open, open the bible side by side, and “not call the media while I’m not there…”, He says. Being a Christian station, it will be interesting to hear his biblical doctrine, his perspective on what is being said about him and the recent very controversial events.

Business, Investment and the Future of Kenya on Eye Witness Business (K24)
What do we want to see in Kenya? We could have dozens of answers for this question: better living standards, improved security, poverty eradication, access to better health care, more opportunities, improved infrastructure, increased literacy levels and the list goes on. Where does the realization of these begin? Business: entrepreneurship and investment holds the key to the answer. The two have to be brought together. The fusion of resources and business ventures must happen.
Emerging Markets Investments Club (EMIC) are on a mission. This is a consortium of various stakeholders – investors, entrepreneurs, and even government who come together, share information on how to take this country forward. A major aim is to create human capital and build capacity among entrepreneurs. This is what we need to make things work for us.
Dr. Karanja of EMIC insists that our perception towards business and entrepreneurship needs to change. We must have the attitude that ‘it’s possible’; it can be done. We have a lot of potential; ideas that can transform people’s lives, and believing that we can change things to be what we want them to be, is important in order to take our ideas to the next level. We might not have all the infrastructure required to do it, unlike in the developed nations, but we can start with what we got. We can start now, and not wait for the sweet by and by, or for somebody else to come from outside to help us do it.
Asked about his take on the Vision 2030, James Kairu the founder of EMIC supports it and maintains that we can utilize it to change things. We should all come together, as we ask ourselves how this can be achieved. We must also ensure that it’s free from any political motivation.
We also need to be action oriented. Actualization is where the rubber meets the road. EMIC is active on this aspect and is having various initiatives involved in training entrepreneurs, providing mechanisms for mobilization for funding of ventures and ideas, particularly private equity and venture capital. I personally believe this is the fuel that we need to launch this country onto an economic progression.

Launch of Ihub on Financial Markets Live (KTN)
Launching of Ihub was quite phenomenon for the technical community. The fact that KTN gave it such a good coverage and substantial air time on Financial Markets live was quite encouraging.
Ihub creates a platform for Kenyan software and web developers as well other techies to meet and collaborate to bring out various innovations. The facility is equipped with a host of resources including fast internet provided by KDN and Zuku.
Such initiative a good step in the right direction, where encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship as a whole is given the platform to bloom and flourish. I’m sure phenomenon things will come out as a result of this. Many kudos to the team responsible for conception and realization of this dream! We all owe it to them. We can only hope that many entities will emulate this example for greater good.
Can find out more on Ihub at http://www.ihub.co.ke

Esther Adongo Timberlake; Who Did This to Her?!
The tale surrounding Esther Arunga (as we know her, whose last name she has vehemently revoked), started out as drama, evolved into a disturbing puzzle mixed with disappointment, but that seems to be settling, unfortunately into a sad conclusion; very sad indeed; if you don’t think so, just for a moment put yourself in her parents shoes. And so many people did look up to her.
But leaving that for a moment, I’ve posted severally concerning this matter, and every time, trying to be optimistic and as defending as I can. But as of now, I can only say one thing: I’m done! So are many concerned Kenyans I believe. Not with Esther really; I believe she’s dealing with something that she seems to have no control over, what ever it is, I don’t know.
This rule has been tried and tested, and it really sobers me up: when you think everyone else is wrong but you, that should be a red flag right there. We’ve all been suspecting something going wrong, and felt that it will come out sooner or later. Well, the writing is on the wall; finally, it has come out!
I don’t at all wish to get into the relationship obscurity; I’d only pray that poor Wilson will have the strength to move on. However, I can’t leave without saying this: honoring parents is not a choice, unless the bible is the most foreign book to you. The single thought of taking them to court, for the simple reason of caring for you, so much enough to get the best professional help in the country, is not honor. Anyone can figure that out.
Now, this is my problem: Esther is under spiritual guidance. However, despite the big mistakes that she’s been making, that are so obvious (who would sue their parents for the ‘mistake’ of loving them!?), nothing seems to be bothering her spiritual leadership. Jesus Christ said, “You’ll know them by their fruits”. The fruits are all too evident. If I were in the same church or organization, I would run for my life!!

Joseph Hellon on the Bench (K24)
I had been really looking forward to hear Hellon speak out without the pressure of journalists and the circumstances. I think the bench would be the ideal place for this and so it really caught my attention.
There are all the questions and speculations surrounding Hellon, including being said to be heading a cultist organization. After listening to him, I can’t really say that Finger of God Ministries is a cult. That would not be my issue. In fact, I think what he says has soundness if you measure it with the bible. And I appreciated the fact that he was not shying away from the bible in today’s very secular world.
But that does not mean I agree with him; I find his approach is too strong; Christian faith is founded on principles of love, forgiveness, humility and such. I've been taught that if we’re so concerned about proving a point to someone, then something is wrong. I think Hellon has enough people whom he seems ready to get even with. He was saying it on the show; for instance, he really blasted the guys from his church who differed with him; he actually fired them in the first place!
Then comes Esther’s case: this is a young woman who has her life put together, flying high in her career, preparing to get married while all of a sudden these things take a totally different turn, due to association with Hellon’s church. I don’t about you but we don’t do that in the church I come from! At present, a word has it that she’s be receiving professional help.
Then I have a question for Hellon: what’s his vision for this country, as he prepares to vie for the high office? I ask this because what I see of him, is more of a fighter, ready to finish off an opponent. Well it’s true that this has its place, but by now we need to have seen a vision; someone with a mission. Maybe he’ll eventually convince me and the people.

Esther Arunga on the Bench (K24)
I watched Esther Arunga on the bench. She looked good and pretty as always. One thing was quite evident from her tone and her emphasis: combat! She came out very strong, and she had a word or two for several people whom she was not very happy with. She has several law suites to file too. Then the quite huge announcement that one could expect from her, that of running against Joseph Hellon for the country’s top job! She’s not just announcing this, but has all the faith that it will be realized; she actually said she’ll be very surprised if it doesn’t.
But this is my confusion right there: what is it about? Is it about faith or political goal. I’ve no problem with either but the connection between the two ought to be properly defined.
I also couldn’t stop thinking that Esther is not herself. For instance, if you say that someone is planning to kill you, and say it on television, articulately identify the person without blinking, you’d better have the evidence. It should not be so easy for anyone. It’s also hard to understand how she decided to quite her job. One might think that her positioning would be the best for someone in her profession. The fact that she broke her engagement with Wilson is quite worrying; and the reasons are very contradictory: is it infidelity, or is it that he was pressing for sex before they were married?
Well, that aside, it later emerged that Esther is having some consultations with a doctor, and I cannot agree more; I thinks she really needs that, time to reflect on all this and the turn of events that have happened just too fast.

Dr. Phil on Family TV @ 9.35PM Weekdays
Dr. Phil is a well renowned psychologist, and a great show host; so much that he’s one of the few ranked among the top show hosts in the world like Oprah.
He brings guests on the show that happen to be ordinary people dealing, or having dealt with diverse level of circumstances; from those that every person can identify with, to others that are quite isolated. That makes it very interesting because we are naturally like both. He’s really cool calm and collected and authoritative at the same time, especially when he brings in some technical input which he does well.
He offers help to his guests and viewers, based on the topic being handled in the show, which he presents it to his guests and leaves it to them to consider. It’s productive given the fact that he’s an expert in what the show is all about.
From time to time, Dr. Phil commits to bring back some guests who have been in his show, to evaluate the progress they made since they had to his show last.
Dr. Phil has his signature of ending the show by getting his wife off the audience as she’s always conspicuously in the show, and grabbing her hand as they walk off, with her quick short steps while he waves. Might look dramatic at times but interesting; people have actually written to him just on this one alone.

On the Bench by Jeff Koinange on K24
This is probably one of the most popular shows. If you’ve heard something that’s phenomenon about anyone, chances are that you’ll find them on this show being interviewed by Jeff Koinange. The former CNN reporter is a well articulated show host – quite rare to find; his style might be controversial: heavy western accent, strong body language, dramatic accentuation and all, but there’s one thing that no one can dispute: he sure stands out in his profession.
As he ends the show, Jeff will have to make you say the station’s slogan with you; it doesn’t matter who you are, but you’ll say the last part of the line, “All Kenyan, all the time”. All guests do comply, with one exception, one veteran politician; he was straight on it, “No I won’t do it”. That was right on the show; it might have appeared humorous at first but I later thought, we’ve had a culture of hurting one another; those who’ve fought for democracy in this country have had a bitter share of this. This can affect someone, to an extent of being very cautious before trusting anyone on anything. I’d to hear you take on this show.

Kirk Cameron on Family TV
Kirk Cameron takes a radical approach to evangelism. He calls it the way of the master. He maintains that when Jesus was on earth, He spoke the truth directly, calling the people to “repent or die”. He’s against the gospel of preaching the gospel of, “come to Jesus and your life will be good”. He argues that when someone finds challenges in Christian life which is expected as opposed to the “good life” all the way, the person is bound to give up and turn back.
The way of the master is a reality TV, where Kirk Cameron and his co-host walk up to people in the streets and engages them in conversations, aimed at showing them their spiritual position in relation to judgment, by just using the 10 commandments. For instance, if someone has ever told a lie, looked at a woman with lust and so on, common things that people are guilty of, one is brought to realization that they have fallen on God’s standard and stand to face judgment. On the basis of this new knowledge, one can seek a solution which is to accept Jesus as savior and Lord.
The hosts also encounter people from different sects and cults, and in the show they bring out their beliefs, explaining exactly how they’ve deviated from the truth.

They focus more on international news in America as well as world wide, especially those that religious or morality significance. Pat Robertson is quite out spoken especially on Middle East and America’s political issues.
The show also spends enough time on health, fitness and lifestyle, including diet and exercise tips. I feel this is important since healthy people are more productive, and also many problems we face can be easily checked by observing a healthy lifestyle.

Cleflo Dollar on Family TV @ 10.30 PM Weekdays
Dr. Cleflo is a preacher of the Word of God. The 30 min program is packed with teachings from the bible that are very enlightening. They run as series runs for a period of time, before another new one takes over and the process continues.
There is a misconception that Dr. Cleflo teaches on prosperity alone. By listening to this program you’ll then realize how untrue this is. The teachings cover various aspects of a Christian life including holiness, living right, relationships and of course Word of faith including principles that bring health and prosperity. My personal view is that there is nothing wrong with on prosperity, as long as it’s given its place and God is given His place in ones life. In fact we need to be prosperous in order for us to be effective in what God has called us to do. God comes first, and after focusing on Him seeking Him, then as the bible says we’ll experience blessing and all other good things that we need for this life.
