Womenspeak: How to Understand Women !

There are this fowards that you get and with certainty you agree with the authors.Well i stumbled on one about women-speak;nine words that women use with a different meaning which i wish to share with you.As many of us know !getting to understand what women say and what they mean can be a confusing exercise, an enigma of sorts full of potential mines!

here goes it!
NINE WORDS WOMEN USE

(1) Fine:-
This is the word women use to end an argument when
they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes:-
If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour.
Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been
given five more minutes to watch the game before helping
around the house.

(3) Nothing:-
This is the calm before the storm. This means
something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that
begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4) Go Ahead:-
This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh:-
This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal
statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she
thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her
time standing here and arguing with you about nothing.
(Refer back to No.3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That's Okay:-
This is one of the most dangerous statements a women
can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think
long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for
your mistake.

(7) Thanks:-
A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint.
Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here
- This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' -
that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all.
DO NOT say 'you're welcome' .
that will bring on a 'whatever').

(8) Whatever:-

Is a woman's way of saying It doesn't matter

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it:-
Another dangerous statement, meaning this is
something that a woman has told a man to do several times,
but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man
asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's
response refer to No. 3.

Chris Brown Admits to Assault Charges !

R & B singer Chris Brown today admitted to a charge of felony assault on singer Rihanna in a plea deal that got him a light sentence of 'five years' probation and ordered to do six months of community service.Without doubt the singer is talented but his assault on Rihanna betrayed a heavy ladden problem that he has and due to his celebrity status he has just got away with it by a non custodial sentence. Shame on you Chris Brown laying your hand on a woman like that!

Interestingly the Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg issued a stay-away order banning Chris from coming any less than 50 yards to Rihanna whereas she had not asked for it. But i believe things will be better that way.Celebrities never cease to amaze!

Kenya's Latest Talk Show-The Woman's Show

Absolutely quality content is the least one can ascribe to Kenya's new and upcoming popular talk/chat show being hosted by the music maestro Eric Wainaina's wife Sheba Hirst.The daytime chat show is a must watch and quite educative produced by Medeva /Media Development for Africa( a local Kenyan NGO dedicated to the development of talent and media productions in Kenya,one of its most successful production is the incisive political analysis programme "Agenda Kenya")Sheba does absolutely well in capturing the facts,emotions and the story lines behind some of the issues that specifically plague African women .From marital abuse, coping with rape, female genital mutilation, how to cope with the post election violence etc.

The title though might mislead you that the content is only fit for the female audience but the truth is that the issues covered are also informative and apply to the male population also.While this is not the first time that Kenyans have delved into the world of talk shows but it is becoming obviously clear that this may just be the first talk show to hit it big and become a success.Sheba comes with a wealth of experience in the entertainment industry first and foremost because of being a director of Sarakasi Trust .She alongside her husband run the rainmaker http://www.rainmaker.co.ke company which manages her husbands musical career and organizes musical events.

For a certainty with its current trend the show is set to win awards in the Media industry and may just propel Sheba to the fame and class of (albeit in a limited sense for now)Oprah Winfrey, Rachel Ray, Tyra Banks or Ellen De Generes show which address various issues especially pertinent to women.On this weeks show Sheba is set to interview local celebrities Karen Lucas(KAZ), Eunice Kamau(KAMA) and Neema Ntalel on scandals that have rocked their lives in public domain and exposed them to public ridicule.It is hoped that the candid interviews will help infuse professionalism and duty of care to the celebrity industry especially on issues relating on image projection.Here at a Nairobian perspective we look foward to the success of homegrown products that showcase local content relevant to our own experience!

Electoral Violence Reaches A Notch Higher!

Tis sad to see a flare of violence with women especially being the target.It is indeed regretable to see politically instigated ,ethnic oriented violence continue to rock the country(Kuresoi,Mount Elgon..etc) especially when the election is hardly a month a way.It was hoped that some thinks would be left in the past but it seems the trend still continues with "fuata nyayo "and the new Kazi euphemism.There simply must be a stop to certain things such as clashes and coruption! It is especially sad to see that politicians caught transporting arms intended for violence get released after a white washing stint of questioning!

When will man stop dominating man to his own injury!We sincerely condole the family of the late Alice Onduto a lugari politician brutally murdered on Saturday by uknown assailants.
Violence begets violence and the innocent women,children ...etc suffer.Lets sincerely stand up against any sort of violence especially against women and may the Kenya Police prove their commitment to protect and serve without favour or bias!
