FOR HER.
She made me cry,
She made me try,
Her home was a decade from mine,
I flew through the forest for her,
Risked lion bite for her,
I crossed crocodiled waters for you,
For you Ibribed your uncle,
For you my legs were pricked
For you
For you
For you
I lost all
And you messed my life......

THE NOVELIST FEATURE STORY
Moi University Press Club, The 3rd Eye
November 20
CAMPUS PERSONALITIES
By Simon Gichimu
Unknown to many, there is a comrade somewhere busy scribbling on the papers recording creatively and commenting on our social trends. James Kahonge aka ‘Nkurunziza’, as the pseudonym goes, is a 3rd year student of Linguistics, Media and Communication. Unlike the claim that good writers are not great orators, his speech is impeccable, a real literal linguist in speech and pen.
A strong basis as a library prefect and an ardent member of his High School Press Club made the budding writer who he is and aspires to be. To be a novelist, you have to be a reader. Nkurunziza first read “Norah Lofts' Out of This Nettle” which talks of teenage-hood challenges, slave trade and family wrangles. He never looked back and reading and writing found a place in the short brown scribe's heart and soul.
The year 2006 marked the journey to active writing of articles to the mainstream media as a Daily Nation correspondent; and in 2012 “The Crumbled Pie”, his first novel, was conceived. The novel which talks about the intrigues and the day to day challenges of varsity life was never meant to be a one-time thing. It was followed by “The Vigilante Cop” which is a story of a moralistic cop who violates the normalcy of police bribes and cooperation with crimes and gets fired. He then practices private law and stops dirty missions of the 'good’ law enforcers.
“Raising Monica”, the third title to his list of novels talks on the difficulties of single parenthood, where Angie dies leaving Monica in the care of her dad who balances on work and fatherhood which involves counselling the daughter. “My Life in The Media” is the fourth title he is working on.
An embracer of the new technology, blogging is his next of kin. His blog website :
crumbledpie.wordpress.com and jameskahongeh on google+ are the homes of his artistic expressions.
A heavy reader, Agatha Christie's “Secret Adversary”, Arthur Conan Doyle's “A Study in Scarlet” are his best mystery books. Chimamada Adichie's “Half of AYellow Sun”, “Minister's Daughter” and John Kiriamiti's “Sinister Trophy” are his best African reads.
Striking a balance between reading, writing and studies is a mastery of time management he enjoys. Writing is an all-time endeavour as reading takes him to the wee hours of the night. For this young novelist, attending lecturers is mandatory. He insists that people should not neglect academics for their hobbies but rather should incorporate the two. He argues that challenges in publishing and the cliché of poor readership in Kenya remains dominant.
His advise to upcoming writers? "Be passionate about writing! Complain less, strive more!”

REAL COMRADE

CAMPUS PERSONALITIES
THE BRAINS BEHIND ‘THE REAL COMRADES’ PLATFORM
By Simon Gichimu
A down-to-earth Political Science finalist from the School of Arts, Maya Jacob is an exciting fellow to meet with. Soft spoken but firm describes who Jacob is. His political foundation is courtesy of a re-known blogger Dikembe Disembe whom they discussed politics in hostel M69 when Maya was a freshman in the year 2011.
One evening in February about 2 years ago, Maya realised there lacked a platform where comrades could share not only the campus politics but also the day to day affairs. This led to the foundation of ‘The Real Comrades of Moi University Main Campus’ which by the following morning had hit 500 likes! The group likes has grown to 7713 likes in the last two years.
Maya feels the platform has achieved its intended purpose since all comrades air their views without fear or favour about any issue on the platform. Leaders are praised, criticised, cajoled and guided.
The group founder and administrator, is the gatekeeper and regulator of the group. He’s the current administrator of the page that is arguably one of the most dominant facebook platforms among all campuses in the country.
He confirms he faces the challenge of reckless comments attacking personalities mostly in the guise of fake accounts. Maya says he blocks the accounts from the group permanently. He discusses the issue bitterly as he still feels the group is his brain child and his attachment to it is still so strong.
A believer in political liberalism, Maya asserts, “We are the intellects and we should be the determinants of national politics unlike the reverse. It is disappointing to see good leaders sacrificed in the tribal alter.”
Great pillars who have stood by him include the political analyst and a prominent figure in main campus Gitungo Wameere, Outgoing Chair of graduate students of Moi University Nyamweya Omari, Secretary General of the 26th SGC Seth Odongo alias Dikembe Disembe and a prominent online figure Totty Toto.
‘The Real Comrade’ as he is often called by his peers, has flapped his wings outside campus. His active participation in the last general election in the campaign trails of Kipaikka Musa of Kumpa Ward and Joseph Nkaiserry of Kajiado Central constituency saw them as MCA and MP respectively.
Maya was once threatened at the Security office and ordered to delete the group. A call he says he declined without second thought. It now is a secret group because of the heated arguments that provoked last year’s MUSO elections.
Summing up the interview he says, “All comrades are equal with common issues of interest, let us remain united and desist from tribalism menace. Comrades are free to like the group and engage in sober discussions.”

By My Side
She is so beautiful,
So fresh and lively,
Standing tall,
Standing young,
Standing slim,
Supple,flawless,
Needle_blunt brain,
Ponytailed black hair,
Alto beat of the tongue,
Fox cunningness in monkey chuckles,
Curvacious lady sharing my bed,
Cuddling her tightly,
As the eyes get closed,
Lips suckling,kissing,
Only to find its my brown pillow...
It was a dream...
Just dream......
Little Lilian
Little Lilian listen to my pontific plea
My maimed, mischievous, modest plea,
Little Lilian you stand out amongst the outstanding
Your roll of the tongue,your row of wisdom
Short in length, tall in vision oh little Lilian!
Little Lilian look lowly
Step down your bulging brain
Drop down,droop your ears for me
A minute,a minute moment to listen
A moment to hear my quest oh little Lilian!
Little Lilian listen to my unloud,unlewd short lines
I won't comment on you curves but I'll be humbled
To see my seed exit them,for they are sufficient
I won't ask you a day out but I will be humbled to kiss you good day every morning
Longing,yearning,craving for you oh little Lilian!
Little Lilian lift your face
Join my race ,follow my trace, with all your grace
Stick to the pace,up to my place,hold the guess on the gaze
swing on stars is a lie, a crumbled pie, yet its true we will fly
Fly with you,cry with you, die with you, if only you say yes oh little Lilian!
My Tie
It made me cry,
When he made me try,
Tie a knot,tie a tie,
Yet even cutting a pie,
Frying a flying fly,
Was unkown,what of a tie?
Felt choky on a tie,
Head up always like a flower,
Uneasy as if I was thrown off a tower,
It sucked, but I lacked power,
His stare made one cower,
His kicks,like pricks, made the tie stick,
To the neck like a goat's tether,
Begrudgingly, he made me learn,
Enjoying my tie,s not a lie,
Twisting knots so fast,
Varied,better than trust.
Better than he thought I could
Better than any other good
Tying my tie
Tying my neck tie...
Today I'll tell her

Today I'll Tell Her
The lack of boldness,
In this coldness,
To tell her the feeling,
In my heart so killing,
Of the warmth of her elongated hug,
The tightness,closeness of hearts,
Staring at the moon,
Spitting irelevancies and humour,
Concealing those words,
Fear of the unknown,
She's better a friend,
But today,
She promised to tell a story,
I promised to tell a story,
Today,tell a story...

Reveal to me
Maybe I am ignorant
Cos' its always unpleasant
When i throw my hook
Rarely do I get anything on book
Lately, I have tried carefree
Results meant more spree
A new trap enlarges the gap
A genuine tap leads to a slap
Thinking of quittal... never !
I need to be braver forever
It appears there is a point amiss
Someone save me from another miss
Yes, staring at the bats but still a brat
A brat til the day I earns a congrat
But that depends on your tip
Tip to trip to romance top tip
Those dreams

I WAS BORN
I am trying to analyse
And glad to realise
The purpose of my existence
Should be total persistence
Not to be perfect
Yet to be excellent
Not to imitate
But to innovate,
Create and improve.
And this is a prove,
My life is purposeful!
