Island...the Kenyan meets the Ugandan...we hang out and fight

Aha! I have finally beaten the devil of procrastination (thank u Lord!) and finally started a blog- it has been four years- but it is finally here- a round of applause is in order. Go in, indulge yourself, clap for me...and Pauline.

Pauline is little, loud and feisty- if you need to get back money from anyone that owes you- hire Pauline, besides she has a sweet look that masks the mean fighter in her. I don't mess with her. I just show up at her place and she feeds me...no wonder the Doc tells me I am overweight. Pauline, off with that Doctor's head- the nerve of the doctor!!

This is Migingo Island where Kenya and Uganda fight over a slum. Okay it’s not just a slum...it’s a rocky slum island- and apparently we are squabbling over the tasty fish...ummm, yummy. Reliable sources inform me that the quarrel is about who owns the island- Kenya or Uganda?
The quarrel continue and it is spicy hot- forget Jack Bauer! Not too long ago, my President insulted the Kenyan community, particularly, Pauline and her peoples...he called them 'mad Jaluos'. In no time, Pauline, feisty Kenyan fighter, had declared war on me, hapless peace loving Ugandan. Suddenly she would no longer cook for me..feed me...

Thus the past days I have been on my knees grovelling to the Kenyan community. I went so far as to put out a disclaimer on my President's remarks..something to the effect, that his remarks by no means indicate that I think Pauline and her peoples 'mad'...on the contrary I think so highly of them I can't publish my thoughts publicly. Did I mention, Pauline is a lawyer? One must be careful how one words his/her thoughts.

In his defence, my President claims he was didn't insult all Luos- only a section of them, the mad ones specifically. And so he was 'misquoted' by the 'hyper Kenyan media'....
The last I heard of this gripping thriller- my wonderful President was asking Kenya to apologise...once again, the disclaimer works for me very well. He also said of this Migingo Island (which is on the border of Kenya and Uganda), that the island itself (the land) is in Kenya and the water is in Uganda! Ha! My president is clever- thus the fish are all Ugandan.

I have thus appointed myself, 'Minister for Kenya especially the aggrieved Luo Community' in the Uganda Government.

Now the trick is how to get my President to notice my hard work and set me up with a swanky office, 4X4, beefy body guards donning shades, all dressed in black.....
If you haven't worked it out- the blog features the two: the Kenyan a.k.a Pauline and the Ugandan ...sweetness itself.

the Ugandan...
