THERE ARE NO BAD BOYS OR PLAYERS; THEY HAVE NOT JUST GROWN UP!

He is young tall and handsome: an every girls dream. She stares at him and noticing her glance steals the moment to impress….. Cool and composed is his gait and relaxed is his motto. She gets an aura that he is boring into her and therefore she gets nervous and confused only to realize later that he is out of her life. These are stories discussed and really fancied about in radio stations.

Do we really have bad boys out there? I don’t think so. The problem is he is just a confident dude who is out to please! It is high time ladies realized that they are the players themselves and not the guy!

Men are into pleasure as ladies do. The difference is that the pleasure of men ranges with the situation they are in. When lonely; lady, bored; watch games, alone; into the pub.

That guy you view as a player is a made player. He plays the role you want. He is a bad guy because you want him to be. Take it this way, you notice him with a friend, a colleague or maybe just a girl he has just met. With your pride you conclude that he is not a good guy.

On several occasions this image replicates until you are utterly convinced beyond reasonable doubt that he really toys around. Next, feeling the pity of a mother and having your stomach in knots you start building castles in the air that you can change this demented soul.

You show interest and he buys it. That’s when you realize that he was not just bad guy but a good one. Convinced that you will make him change you embark on a rather tender and dangerous journey of conversion. Having a purpose but lacking the mechanism to execute it you fall prey and without knowing it, though at the back of your mind the alarm bells are so loud, you fall for him! The hunter turned the hunted!

There are hundreds of girls who take this path; to straighten lopsided boys. Instead fall into there demands and later cry foul heartbroken!

The rapid eruption of boy player is the fear within a girl that he might change to love her only to realize that he is just a boy still growing and using his other leg to play. Therefore those are not players but boys still growing!

POSITIVE ASPECTS OF NASILIAN CULTURE IN BLOSSOMS OF THE SAVANNAH

SOME ASPECTS OF CULTURE ARE BENEFICIAL AND OUGHT TO BE MAINTAINED. USING EXAMPLES FROM THE NOVEL, BLOSSOMS OF THE SAVANNAH, WRITE A COMPOSITION TO ILLUSTRATE THE TRUTH OF THE STATEMENT Culture defines our identity and social relationships within a certain setup. Sometimes, some cultural aspects come off as bad while others can be looked at as good. However, culture only becomes bad when compared to another that seems superior. Many African communities found themselves at crossroads when the ‘superior’ European culture was thrown down their gullets. Nevertheless, many African cultures have grown into what they are today while some have retained what can be perceived as negative cultural practices. In the book Blossoms of the Savannah, H.R Kulet presents a boiling pot of cultural confusion within the Maa community specifically the people of Nasila. As we can see, some of the Nasilian cultural practices can be beneficial to the wellbeing of society and, therefore, should be maintaine

NEGATIVE CULTURAL PRACTICES AMONG THE PEOPLE OF NASILA IN BLOSSOMS OF THE SAVANNAH

The book Blossoms of the Savannah explores both the positive and negative cultural practices. H. R Kulet describes intimately those cultural practices he believes are best and on the other hand, lets us in on some of the cultural practices he believe were injurious. Interestingly, the negative cultural practices are aimed at women. The most poignant cultural practice that negatively affects women is Female genital mutilation. Although according to Parmuat, the practice was started by women to resist the evil Ilarinkoi, it continued to cause wanton pain and torture on women. Taiyo and Resian are determined to fight it. Resian manages to evade the brutal practice however Taiyo barely makes it having been forcibly cut. FGM is a global menace affecting millions of women in Africa and Asia. Although its benefits are only anthropological, its effects are very damning and could lead to death.  Second among the negative Nasilian culture is early marriage. Resian still has goals to fu

THE THEME OF INHERITANCE IN THE PLAY INHERITANCE BY DAVID MULWA

Inheritance refers to what is left by the deceased to the family in material wealth or sometimes power. However, the word could have diverse meanings when applied to works of literature. In this respect, David Mulwa looks at inheritance in various ways. The play revolves around a three decades old Kutula under its new leadership. Having achieved independence from colonial masters, Kutula is now governed by Lacuna Kasoo-the son of pre-independence King Kutula XV. Lacuna ascended to power after the death of his father. Although the King has adopted Princess Sangoi as his successor, he dies mysteriously thus handing the power to the greedy, self-centred Lacuna. As it were, Lacuna conspired with the colonial masters to assassinate his father King Kutula XV. Having assumed power with the help of colonial masters, Lacuna runs the government under the influence of Kutula’s former imperialists. He receives hefty loans aimed at ‘developing’ the country. However, the loans are meant to make Kutu
