• Genge This Week

  Posted: November 8, 2008, 1:03 am by ragskanyi

  Your Way. Vinnie Banton has this romantic single out. He seems to suggest that the way to a woman’s heart is accepting her as she is, and having her do things her way. I doubt that this is will fly with most African men, but it certainly is what many women want to hear. Keep it [...]

• A Video I Made

  Posted: August 18, 2008, 9:43 am by ragskanyi

  A buddie of mine (called Elvo) and I decided to make a video based on a character he created. I know that laughter is the best medicine so I decided to share the video with you in the hopes that it will bring a smile to your face.

• Just A Thought.

  Posted: August 2, 2008, 8:19 am by ragskanyi

  I just got done reading a book which really inspired me to stop kidding around and be a man. The book ends with a quote which I’d like to share with you. “Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do that. Because what the world needs [...]

WELCOME and ENJOY! For those who are curious: I use the Nikon D40X. I photo blog. I have a website too. [...]

• Last Week in Genge: Video Uploads.

  Posted: July 28, 2008, 6:39 pm by ragskanyi

  Music has a way of feeding as well as draining the soul. Through this medium we neo-Kenyans have managed to express our feelings using all sorts of musical genre’s. Missing My Baby by Amani It is said that imitation is the greatest form of flattery so Dallas based Kenyan artist QStick decided to do a remix to [...]

• Outsourcing Wombs and Websites.

  Posted: July 13, 2008, 7:04 pm by ragskanyi

  This week on Oprah she had an show on people who decided to outsource wombs because they were not able to give birth to kids. I for one think that such a thing as this was inevitable given that we are becoming a global village, and that everybody now can just about outsource just about [...]

• Burn All The Boats!

  Posted: June 22, 2008, 2:14 am by ragskanyi

  Hernando Cortés is an name that illicits a lot of anger among some people. But in my book he is a man whom we all need to learn from. In 1519, Cortés left the island of Cuba in search of Gold and Riches. Many had gone before him with similar dreams and had not succeeded, [...]

• How To Find Your Passion.

  Posted: June 8, 2008, 11:59 pm by ragskanyi

  I go to a church where the pastor is a well known author, speaker and artist. Listening to him speak and draw is downright depressing for me because I keep on telling myself; “It is not fair, how can one man be so talented!” Have you noticed that many people who are in the limelight seem [...]

According to wikipidea; blogging is (an abridgment of the term web log) is a website, usually maintained by an individual, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of [...]

• Stop Ngethiaring And Just do it!

  Posted: May 31, 2008, 1:07 am by ragskanyi

  We all have things we are really good at. Some, unlike me are mathematically inclined. Others are good singers, writers, thinkers, and the list goes on. A few years ago, I took a photography class at a local community college. At the time I did not even know how to load a film camera. Today, [...]

• TKK Toa Kitu Kikubwa

  Posted: May 30, 2008, 12:22 am by ragskanyi

  Corruption is arguably in the DNA of the Kenyan cultural fabric. The term TKK was coined as an acronym for bribery and corruption. It is my belief that erasing bribery will help in healing a nation whose values are quickly eroding. The cry to stop corruption is not exclusive to the youth, even the old feel [...]

• Rich Single Educated Kenyan Women.

  Posted: May 24, 2008, 9:26 pm by ragskanyi

  I am beginning to notice a phenomenon that really was not present during the time our parents were our age. During those days women in their late 20’s or early 30’s were either married with 20 or 30 kids, and let their husbands bring in the pesa. Now things have changed. In America, I have noticed [...]

• Kenyan Thong.

  Posted: May 24, 2008, 8:19 am by ragskanyi

  There was a time when the Kenyan flag was only reserved for the flagpole. Now, the Kenyan flag can be seen on shirts, shorts, hats, and thongs (Ok, I haven’t seen a Kenyan flag thong but I bet you someones working on that. Ahem) There was a time when Kenyan youth spoke solely and proudly in [...]

• Got Passion?

  Posted: May 22, 2008, 11:00 am by ragskanyi

  Kirk Nugent is someone I did not know existed until mwangi, a fellow blogger turned me on to him. Nugent is a cross between a poet and a motivational speaker. And no, he is not an angry black man. If Kirk Nugent seems too much for you, go ahead and listen to this song. Don’t let [...]

• Genge.Wear’s Top 5 romantic genge songs.

  Posted: May 21, 2008, 11:58 pm by ragskanyi

  NAMELESS - SINZIA. I think that it is a cheezy video, with cheezy words but many chicks would beg to differ, so here is Nameless singing the song sinzia. HAKUNA MATATA - SWAHILI NATION Before akina Nonini coined the name genge, there was Swahili Nation. This song by SN was hot then and is still hot [...]

• African’s Vs African-American’s

  Posted: May 20, 2008, 4:20 am by ragskanyi

  We all talk about each other. I for one am fascinated by how culture affects how we interact with each other. One thing that we African immigrants do is talk about a strange group of people called African Americans. It is no secret that there is some animosity between Africans and African Americans. If I had [...]

• Free Immigration and Legal Services

  Posted: May 19, 2008, 9:55 pm by ragskanyi

  Everyone of us foreigners know of that friend or relative who needs some legal advise in regard to immigration. As usual, lawyers capitalize on peoples ignorance and charge and arm and a leg for immigration and legal Services. The Catholic Charities of Dallas offers FREE immigration and legal Services. If you don’t live in Dallas, have no [...]

• THE BUGZ - WEZERE

  Posted: May 18, 2008, 9:34 pm by ragskanyi

  So, along came the bugz with the song WEZERE. Prior to this song I had no idea what Mawezere was. Apparently it is what my african american cousins would call a Badonkadonk. What’s a Badonkadonk you ask? Well, according to the Urban Dictionary a Badonkadonk is an ‘ebonic’ expression for an extremely curvaceous female behind. [...]
