THIS GUY MBUGUA


Characters through fictional can have a lot to offer if we  delve deeper into their  traits as assigned by the writer,artist or creator for that matter.Talk of okwonkwo,othello or monalisa by Da vinci only to mention a few.

In Kenya, animation gurus ,Fatboy animations.Have come up with the character Mbugua to spearhead advertisement of a communications product as the country makes great strides in telecommunications.

Mbugua per se was born and brought up in the central highlands of Kenya. Like most kids then, he probably had to bear amongst other challenges rugged terrain to and from school barefoot.We are however not told how far he went in pursuit of academics.

It stands out though that Mbugua had entrepreneurship in mind. Finishing school,he ventured into the city in search of a life.Here he partook various activities in hustle and bustle one of which was running a mutura business.Mutura often nicknamed "African sausage" is popular Kenya street cuisine comprising of small pieces of meats stuffed in part of cooked intestine and served with pepper and other assorted spices.

Today ,though,Mbugua is a reknown businessman thanks to his hard work.His investments are spread across industry,motor vehicle accessories and real estate. He also acts as a financial adviser to many upcoming entrepreneurs and has provided employment opportunities for many from his different enterprises.

During his free time, catch him at the popular Muthaiga golf club doing what he does best.And ,on sunday ,the big guy humming hymns in the pew behind ,might just be Mbugua ,a practicing Christian.

Mrs Janet Mbugua his wife has been by his side through it all.Seen him from zero to hero.She also stands out as the perfect cook with a taste for long flowing African dresses to match with her exemplary culinary skills.To add on to that, she runs a series of cafes around the city under her name.And where high speed internet accompanies the eatables.Ocassionaly ,she will join Mbugua for family tv time.Together they are blessed with two kids,Jane and Jeff.
Jane, the elder of the two,is reserved and like her mum seems to have a thing for good fashion.Jeff,schooled in one of the best schools in the country is more social joining daddy more often at the tables.
Only recently did he impress everyone with very good grades in the just completed national exams.


Like their dad who also loves watching soccer on tv,the two will enjoy something good showing on the screen.

The Mbugua's,indeed an interesting lot.
And sure ,next time you need a fast,reliable connection.Remember to remember.Faiba.

FULL METAL JACKET

Long a  journey it was
Making men fit for wars
From civilian to millitary
Two worlds ,quite a contrary

Fast paces,log races
Big bags,assault courses
Best of lashes,worst of curses
To grace it all,read them verses







Mud rolls to switch them on
Physical trainers to make sure they won
Was it a task so hard to glitter
A lot of sweat many a litre

And when battlecamp was realized
Even the strong were equalized
Excess heat,full kit
Many a things to prove them fit





Passing out ,everyone's roger
Close in,dress forward,eyes sober
What a mark it is to attain
Eyes right,they made it rain
