To get an idea of how big DRC is, Lubumbashi, its second largest city, is closer to the capitals of Angola, Botswana, Burundi, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, South Africa, eSwatini, Tanzania Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, than it is to Kinshasa, the capital of DRC.

Yanga waited 11 years to avenge the 5-0 loss they suffered against Simba in May 2012 -- a match remembered as "ni hujuma".
That they have scored 5 goals against their bitter rivals on the 5th day of the 11th month makes their 11-year wait for revenge even more sweet to savour.
FUN FACT: Ambrose Rachier was Uganda President Yoweri Museveni's roommate when they were students at the University of Dar es Salaam.
Other interesting facts about him:
- His middle name is Molo because he was born when a train stopped over in Molo.
- He speaks French & Gikuyu.
Gor Mahia chairman Ambrose Rachier has announced that he will retire from club politics when his current term expires next year.
Rachier has been Gor the chairman since 2008 and is by far the most successful chairman of the club with eight league titles to his name.

Our President has subjected us to pain and suffering that has robbed us of our human dignity and pride. Much as we would wish to empathise with his personal struggles, that privilege has been taken us away by his failure to demonstrate understanding of our struggles.

I think that is one of the questions that come to mind when one studies the map in the quoted tweet. This has been discussed so much over the years so, there is no shortage of answers, or reasons, to that question. Here is my contribution.

There are names that never disappear from memory due to their uniqueness. I have been rearranging my bookshelf this week and, coming across this book has reunited with two such names -- Mwinyi Kazimoto (the player on the cover) and Mwina Mohamed Seif Kadugua (the book's author).
@MwangiMaina_
This is very good analysis, Mwangi. Anyway, the President will not have a headache replacing Kibochi. Lt. Gen. Badi turned 61 in August this year and, Lt. Gen. Ogolla turned 61 in February 2022 or will turn that age in February 2023. So, neither has a chance of replacing Kibochi.

Julius' claim to fame is definitely his success as a javelin-thrower but, that is not the only sport he excelled at in High School. He played football too and, he was dynamite.

Most atheists/agonistics were once Christians. There are not very many non-believers who were once Hindus or Muslims. Perhaps a better question would be, "Why is Christianity producing so many atheists/agnostics?"

They start fast, they can't outpace her. They start slow, they can't outsprint her. Currently, Faith is only competing with the past in the Women's 1 500m. Only the holders the World Record and, the World Championships record have been spared of her dominance in the event.
Pamzo actually almost represented Kenya in cricket. He grew up with Odumbes, Sujis, Tikolos, and most of the other members of that Kenyan cricket team that rocked the world in the 1990s and 2000s. Pamzo was the best cricket player in that lot.

Back in the day, when going for school trips (at least where I studied), there was, sort of, an unwritten rule that at least one parent from each class would join the teachers and pupils on the trip. That helped a lot. At times, there would be someone from the PTA too.

I once visited a home where the lady of the house spent almost an hour telling the kids to go to bed. A few minutes to 9 pm, her husband arrived home, stared at the kids, and without him saying a word the kids told their mother goodnight before running to their bedrooms.
Having a man in the house must be nice. Your teen talks back at you and the man is like "what did you say to your mother?" (Without even looking up from the newspaper he's reading) and the teen folds their tail between their legs. You smile from the kitchen coz you know you have
"God Save The King" gets heard at the FIFA World Cup for the first time since 1950 when King George VI ruled over England. Coincidentally, England's first and last World Cup matches under the reign of Queen Elizabeth II were against Belgium (Switzerland 1954 and Russia 2018).
