VIEWER DISCRETION!
As promiscuous women continue to insult me, here is a video by Raphael Tuju.
It is called THE SILENT EPIDEMIC,
It was a popular IEC (Information, Education and Communication) tool in the 90s and 00s promoting behaviour change and sensitising the public about Sexually Transmitted Infections.
Just like the 90s, a lot of young men today have become reckless and indiscriminate in the sex market.
Promotional sexual health messages have since been erased in our public institutions (Schools, colleges and hospitals), leaving an awareness gap that is silently predisposing young people to HIV/AIDS and STDs.
Young men engage in risky sexual behaviours, oblivious to the consequences of their choices.
This video is just 18 minutes, and it will save your life.
CHANGE or PERISH
~JOSEPH KARIUKI wa KIARUTARA ~
If you attend a live gig by Kariuki wa Kiarutara, there's something that will awe you. His ardent fans rarely dance to his songs. They sing along. They savour every word in the lyrics and get consumed in the semantics of this talented wordsmith.
Back in the village tea zone of Kiarutara in Gatanga Muranga County, Joseph Kariuki admired the music of Joseph Kamaru and John Ndichu. Everytime he listened to these legendary artists, his passion to do music burnt inside him. As a youth guitarist in church, he would strum "Cucu wa Gakunga" much to the excitement of his peers.
In the Gikuyu music industry, there's no one as enigmatic as Kariuki wa Kiarutara. He had a music shop along Sheikh Karume Rd but he rarely sat in the shop. He would be seen throughout the day, for many days, standing at the same spot on the ground floor of the building. He would chat with friends and they'll leave him there. Many rumours are said about him, and his belief systems. One popular one was that he would arbitrarily call off a recording session without any explanation. Kariuki rarely gives interviews and is very measured with his words when he speaks. Another one is that he can cancel a gig and refund a deposit and that's it.
Born in the early 60's, he attended both primary and secondary in Kiarutara. After school he became a lumberjack in Karangi forest in Gatùra. He later left home for Nairobi in pursuit of his music dream. He arrived in Githurai and was hosted by two friends, Joe Wamathina (My Dear Bottle) and Meja Ndungu. He was well guided by Joe on recording and song composition. Around 1984/85 he recorded his first song "Mwana Mukia."
Joe became his bossom friend and helped him with backup vocals. They also brought in Waweru wa Kamwahu when they recorded "Njohera". His songs started getting airplay and Kiarutara Mwanzo Boys Band was born.
Joseph Kariuki has a rich repertoire of music to the tune of more than 20 albums. His evergreen hits include
●Wira ni Wira
●Kwanyu Ndigacoka 1 and 2
●Reke Tùrìmwo
●Kamau Kabugugi.
● Mbari Ya Mwenda Njerù
● Anne
●Utuuro Mùritù
●Nairobi Kiawara
●Nyumba Utarihaga
Kariuki wa Kiarutara's Kwanyu Ndigacoka Pt2 was done by Elizabeth Nyambere and his "Ndiregete Tutuuranie" was done by Queen Jane. Some of his producers include Mama Julia Lucy and Musaimo,
One of his thematic concerns is politicical commentary. This has seen him clash with the powers that be especially President Daniel Arap Moi. His songs "Warùhiti", "Kìrìa Maarì" and "Mùtikanjikie" were temporarily banned as they were flagged as revolutionary and non conformist. When President Kibaki assumed power, Kariuki did "Utheri riu Nimwoneku" and as he was exiting he did "Ngoma Itigathìnjìrwo" asking the retiring President to name a successor.
"Kungu Maitu " is an anthem for the firebrand Gìkùyu youths who are seeking to reclaim their cultural roots, traditions and spirituality. "Nitwethahirie" talks about the erosion of Gikuyu traditions and the embrace of foreign doctrines and mannerisms. He also tackles the themes of love, and betrayal and other social issues in his characteristic figurative language.
In the 4 decades he has been in the industry, he has mentored many others and his songs have been reviewed in newspaper columns and have been studied by students of literature for their literary aesthetic value. Kariuki has been consistent in sporting his signature afro hairstyle and his cue "Kaaazana Kiarutara aahh..."
Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe said "....proverbs are the palm oil with which words are eaten.... "
Kariuki wa Kiarutara has great mastery of idioms and proverbs and weaves them skillfully to belt out melodious sing along hits.
If you’re planning to roast some mbuzi this festive season and need a recipe: Blend garlic, onion, black pepper, oil and salt and let the mbuzi soak in that overnight.
Breakups are ok. Losing friends is ok. Moving on is ok. Healing is ok. Saying no is ok. Being alone is ok. What is NOT ok is staying somewhere where you don't feel happy, valued, loved or appreciated.
Semen retention also speaks to the balance of masculine and feminine energies within an individual. In many esoteric traditions, it is understood that both men and women possess these dual forces within them.
The masculine energy is often associated with action, assertiveness, and outward expression, while the feminine energy is linked to intuition, receptivity, and inward reflection.
Through the practice of semen retention, a man can balance these energies within himself. By not expelling his sexual energy through ejaculation, he cultivates a deeper connection to his inner world, his emotions, and his intuitive side.
This balancing of energies is crucial for spiritual growth because it aligns with the Hermetic principle of polarity the idea that everything contains both masculine and feminine elements, and true mastery comes from harmonizing these opposites.
99 percent of the time, people who ask for favors from you aren't even people you communicate with frequently. These are the same people who'd never offer you any incentive but keep you around for their own convenience.
Oh I loathe this behavior with my entire existence. Yuck.
For married women, the moment you stop listening to your husband, belittle him, make him feel useless, make a home unlivable for him, your beauty evaporates and he literally stops caring.
