   “freedom of the shoe” is too funny.

   i was waiting for this..

4. 4. mruhya (59 Comments) | March 14th, 2006 at 11:58 am

   Honestly, the only thing left to do is simply laugh. It’s simply ridiculous! Who do they expect to believe that crap?

   To quote the standard “…why would a man claiming that the two MPs (Read Raila, Kalonzo) were involved in such a criminal act as seeking foreign funds to undermine the Government be allowed to leave the country, without as much as recording a statement with the police.”

   Finally legitimately in the Nation, and then they mangle your age! Goodness. But congrats. Just find it odd that the BBC should discover you before Nation.

6. 6. Guessaurus (122 Comments) | March 14th, 2006 at 12:46 pm

   Jack: (On phone) Ngai fafa!!!

   Just the first line and I am falling about laughing - you are nasty.

   Let me read the rest after taking a few breaths…

7. 7. Global Voices Online » Blog Archive » Kenya: bloggers meet the mainstream (No Comments) | March 14th, 2006 at 1:45 pm

   [...] ThinkersRoom reports that the Kenyan Daily Nation featured Kenyan bloggers “My one gripe — a very healthy imagination on the party of the author. I’m not 29. At no time did I divulge my age, or indeed anything personal about myself. Check your facts, ladies and gentlemen, check your facts” [...]

   Manzee…’M’ I realised that extensive research is never conducted when writing half the stuff they write….especially when it involves international matters. They either make it up to meet their ‘piece’ quota or ‘plagirise’ with what they can find on the net - as you well know.

   All I can sema is the publicity is doing you more good than harm - for now!

   As for the 24 Episode……..KEEP ‘EM COMING!

9. 9. Paula (4 Comments) | March 14th, 2006 at 2:01 pm

   Too deadly, Keep ‘em coming!

10. 10. noah (10 Comments) | March 14th, 2006 at 2:17 pm

12. 12. Sammie (16 Comments) | March 14th, 2006 at 2:43 pm

    AS EXPECTED! The plot thickens. When will this whole charade end?

    *sigh!* Ah well…. I suppose government needs such acts in order to do its work.

    The 24 thing: Ahhh…. Deadly. More

13. 13. hash (17 Comments) | March 14th, 2006 at 3:39 pm

    Yes .. we give them freedom of the shoe

    Oh man, very funny!

14. 14. Ms K (126 Comments) | March 14th, 2006 at 3:56 pm

    Ti hi hi hi. Enyewe someone tried to pull a fast one on us but forgot to watch all the episodes on 24. How do you have mercenaries addressing the media at the VIP lounge. Kwanza mimi hata sijui hiyo VIP lounge iko wapi!!!

    So, how old are you? I can get them to print a correction.

15. 15. suzy (3 Comments) | March 14th, 2006 at 4:08 pm

    this blog is something din’t know about it till i saw the piece on the Daily Nation.lakini how ol r u since you runted like that??

    And those mercenaries walala we thot guys could bling…and what was all that about anyway the plot thickens kenya is becoming more than a soap opera or anything we’ve ever seen.seriously our governing policies leave much to be desired and teh fact that this people can sit down cook up something and make the biggest blunder of allowing the armenians into the VIP lounge where only the government (in most) cases is allowed in.what’s going on here???

16. 16. Guessaurus (122 Comments) | March 14th, 2006 at 4:42 pm

    BTW congrats on getting on the Nation, again. You definitely are the most famous - oh and favourite of many, but you know I am your number one fan, right? Head groupie (Ms K) dont even go there

17. 17. KM (62 Comments) | March 14th, 2006 at 4:56 pm

    First off M,
    Ngai fafa? Since when my friend? tangu lini?….. How dare you associate that in a mercenaries posts? As an ardent (mis)user of that word, I beg for it to be accorded due respect.

    Lol at freedom of the shoe. Lawd, I have laughed.

    Ahheeeem, about the age Methuselah. ,
    Wooooweee! Whatever is done in the dark M darlin’, shall come out in the light! . Jokes aside, when are they checking you into the old people’s home?

    Ok fine fine….so, what would you like for your next birthday? Diapers or a walking stick?

    **Runs off ducking stones from M**

18. 18. KM (62 Comments) | March 14th, 2006 at 5:13 pm

    And you really should consider professional writing to end these run ins with pliaggggegydgdhgiu whateva! (yes, those guys who violate your writing. I cannot pronounce nor spell that word!).
    You are way overdue….Well, as long as you keep blogging.

19. 19. Irena (15 Comments) | March 14th, 2006 at 5:49 pm

    He he Kumbe you are not 29 after all

20. 20. Adrian (81 Comments) | March 14th, 2006 at 6:10 pm

    just when you thought things couldn’t get any crazier, these guys tokea…

21. 21. Shiroh (130 Comments) | March 14th, 2006 at 6:25 pm

    Me, myself and I are on the floor. M you prove in the laughiliest way that Baks cannot hold a conversation.

    Ngai fafa. Anyway i have been doing a kasmall research on the Armenians and what i found didnt impress me. They are very rough guys ; up from 1914 (with the young turks and all), then a newspaper headline reads “Young Men persecuted for refusing to join the Armed Forces for religious reasons), It is not a laughing matter.

    Anyway you know your head is still out for sale for being an abscondita.

    Maybe M you are 29.

22. 22. Shiroh (130 Comments) | March 14th, 2006 at 6:27 pm

    Ooh and i sneaked slowly to the 21st place.

23. 23. Brainz (52 Comments) | March 14th, 2006 at 6:36 pm

    Where do these guys come up with such guesswork. but frommy point of view i think it was an educated guess 27-29 sounds appropriate age for you M but i would tend to lean on the 27.

    What a post my guy Great and very originall stuff im sure any newspaper would hire you in an instant to write a weekly or even daily colum to entertain Kenyans and the world in general.

    Great JOB … SROTFLMBAOL!!

24. 24. ciiku (31 Comments) | March 14th, 2006 at 6:47 pm

    he he he
    LOL!

    Yes .. we give them freedom of the shoe

    funny funny

26. 26. Prousette (143 Comments) | March 14th, 2006 at 6:55 pm

    If you really are not 29, how old are you then? I just need to know.
    I was wondering where the KANGA came from now you just answered me.

    Lovely… and congratulations for getting more famous by the day.

27. 27. Mutumia (56 Comments) | March 14th, 2006 at 8:53 pm

    I think the writer of the article just took your “two dozen and then some” years and averaged it to 29 (plus or minus 2 std differentials) …. Yes, I know I’m coming off as a stalker but here’s the archive link my dear….. http://www.thinkersroom.com/blog/2005/12/old-is-gold/

    I’m a fan— not a stalker (keep telling myself that maybe it’ll be true someday)

    Good, funny, wonderful piece dude! and congratulations on making it to the Nation… Plus see that beef you started just won’t end? *harumph*… I still like you though M…

28. 28. Mutumia (56 Comments) | March 14th, 2006 at 8:54 pm

34. 34. eclipse (110 Comments) | March 15th, 2006 at 3:15 am

    >>> In an e-mail interview, “M”, who works in information technology but wouldn’t reveal his identity for fear of being “pigeon-holed,” said bloggers “act as a mirror on society and an accurate barometer of the status quo.”>>>>

    real smooth and suave answer! u still got tact mr M!

35. 35. TeeJ (28 Comments) | March 15th, 2006 at 6:18 am

    Kibaki: From where you were?
    Jack (Swallowing): Er.. yes.
    Kibaki: And so you are not there any more.
    Jack (Easing finger under collar): Yes sir.
    Kibaki: And so you are here, and will continue to remain here.
    Jack: Yes sir.
    Kibaki: Until you leave, after which you will no longer be here but now you will be there.

    Dude, LOL this just killed me. I have this red korna in which where kibaki is geting caned with his ‘pare pares’, and ‘huko hukos’

    Will ur next 24 involve first rady? Ha! I almost feel bad for what u’ll do to her.

    Oh, and, me I know you are 30

36. 36. Brainz (52 Comments) | March 15th, 2006 at 8:39 am

37. 37. Shiroh (130 Comments) | March 15th, 2006 at 10:07 am

    By the way M, to warn you in advance…..I have recieved this post in an email, so bal bla bla, it might end up plagggkiria’d. Just telling you, me I am your mercenary na huku outside!! watchin out for your 29 year old ass.

43. 43. donworry (57 Comments) | March 15th, 2006 at 2:40 pm

    I think that this is the sort of stuff that goes on for real behind the State House walls.

    I was told by a friend that this trick where people are driven by car to be interviewed at JKIA “on arrival” is as old as the airport itself.

    We had our own version back in the day where if someone rang your doorbell around supper time you’d answer it holding your hat and coat. If it was a friend you’d karibisha them saying you have just got in yourself.

    Should it be a time waster or scrounger you could always say they’d caught you at a bad time as you were just leaving for an urgent appointment……

    ps was young shiroh addressing me, perchance?

44. 44. Samborera (1 Comments) | March 15th, 2006 at 2:58 pm

    I’ve also just got this in a forward from a work mate!

45. 45. VituVingiSana (175 Comments) | March 15th, 2006 at 6:24 pm

    Kwanza… what is ur age????

    Then… u made my day… 24 will never b the same as I imagine kibs & nyoka talking to Jack… The latest episodes have a flaky prez (not unlike u know who) & certainly not like Palmer!

46. 46. Brooder (2 Comments) | March 15th, 2006 at 8:32 pm

    Is it the fact that plagiarism is a “difficult” word (and consequently difficult for some to understand it’s meaning), that causes some peeps in Kenya to unashamedly pass off the work of others without even a mention for the original author?

    Suggestion: For those who’ve received the mail (which should be 99% of those who checked their mailboxes today… this is Kenya after all), and who know the real author, just reply to the mail (copy everyone it was Cc’d to as well) with only the following link inserted:

    http://www.thinkersroom.com/blog/2006/03/24-mercenary-edition/#comments

    That should clear up a few misconceptions.

47. 47. JOE (78 Comments) | March 16th, 2006 at 12:35 am

49. 49. W.M. (38 Comments) | March 16th, 2006 at 5:49 am

    Firstly, I should mention that I have finished polishing one shoe and am now starting on the other one. Only you can decide where they eventually end up.
    Secondly, the Nationa article was by an intern: give the guy a break. Although where 29 came from is rather mysterious. But he did get right that yours is THE blog. For that, I could forgive him much.
    Like I said. Polish being applied to shoes.
    (Yes, I know I also featured, and thus my comments are suspect, but really, all he said was that I was funny and weird and sometimes intelligent. I would hope that that is not in serious doubt anywhere in these spaces… Thus I think my objectivity rather wholesome, considering he demoted me about five ranks down and then wouldn’t use any of the titles to which I am entitled. Or maybe it was the editors. I notice Kenyan writers have a hard time giving women their due when it comes to achievement. It took Prof. Maathai getting the Nobel Prize for people to start calling her “Prof,” instead of “that divorcee…we have some problems it must be admitted.) But I am honoured to share a page with you M. Also to share, dare I say it, locales, for a brief while. Salut!

50. 50. W.M. (38 Comments) | March 16th, 2006 at 5:51 am

    Oh, M, by the way, I have B. Singer’s email, if you would like to write to him and set the record straight about your years or surplus or lack of them. Just let me as per ka usual.

51. 51. chi (1 Comments) | March 16th, 2006 at 7:06 am

52. 52. Rere (1 Comments) | March 16th, 2006 at 9:14 am

    hey m,
    dont hate on the nation article.didnt know u existed til iread it, and now i know wat ive been missing.the 24 mercenary edition is too damn funny…hope it ”rattles” some feathers.keep it coming…

53. 53. acolyte (179 Comments) | March 16th, 2006 at 10:54 am

    I am sure you have heard the latest about Kibaki’s daughter’s shareholding in the “merc’s” company?That should give you some ammo for part 2 with a surprise twist!

54. 54. mruhya (59 Comments) | March 16th, 2006 at 11:47 am

    @acolyte - hadn’t heard that one. but can’t say I’m surprised. If the gava was serious, they should investigate her coz she might have been involved in “funding” the orange team!

55. 55. I (120 Comments) | March 16th, 2006 at 4:32 pm

    M.. now tell the Daily nation journalist that you interviewed with; the next time they want to COPY your article; they should contact you the same way to ask for permission…

    Love your edition of 24!!! why did Kibaki’s part sound just like him!! keep rattling!!

56. 56. Shiroh (130 Comments) | March 16th, 2006 at 5:03 pm

    I would want to know how Ms K overtook me ; now i know. See you bye bye. Kwanza i hadnt even seen the dejavu post and i am sure i have something to add

57. 57. mudskippah (7 Comments) | March 16th, 2006 at 5:50 pm

    That’s got to be the best post I have ever read. LOL, ROTF, and all those other initials! A classic and a rewarding read.

60. 60. Brother Jero (BJ) (12 Comments) | March 17th, 2006 at 12:38 am

    Wassup big popa, you have been rather quiet. What’s happening? You are still doing a good job as always. Check on us folks too when you get a minute….

61. 61. acolyte (179 Comments) | March 17th, 2006 at 1:35 am

    Now I see that wanainchi wanted to lynch one of those armenians in town jana.I think that is a sign that Kenyans are tired of foreigners meddling in our affairs!It is a shame that foreigners often live better then locals in Kenya.But I still think his near brush is good material for 24 part 2.

62. 62. Whispering Inn (26 Comments) | March 17th, 2006 at 3:11 am

    Cheers on the “most popular blog” honour by the ‘Nation.’

    {…..bloggers “act as a mirror on society and an accurate barometer of the status quo.”

    “They tackle issues that the media are either unwilling or unable to tackle, since bloggers do not have shareholders to account for and are not influenced by boardroom and public politics,” he said.}

    Yes.

63. 63. Sammie (16 Comments) | March 17th, 2006 at 10:30 am

    What with the Gumo thing, eti going to the merc’ s house and cajoling pleading with the watchies to let them in. The rough-up of the Armenian(American, Check, Russian….lost me there)

    Yet more fodder for 24 Part 2! Cant wait!

64. 64. Shiroh (130 Comments) | March 17th, 2006 at 11:26 am

    There are two stories to the Armenian Brothers; i dont know which to believe
    They are either guests of the state or Raila.

    Anyone with the view that someone is shooting their foot? Whoever is hosting them?

65. 65. Nakeel (77 Comments) | March 17th, 2006 at 12:32 pm

67. 67. mruhya (59 Comments) | March 17th, 2006 at 2:33 pm

    and just to prove M’s continuing rise to fame, the average number of comments on each post is rising steadily. in fact, so much so that the brotha can no longa comment on the comments!

68. 68. mo (8 Comments) | March 17th, 2006 at 4:17 pm

69. 69. Guessaurus (122 Comments) | March 17th, 2006 at 5:09 pm

    @Mruhya - dude cant reply to comments anymore - can you believe it. Even I am getting a bit jealous. Everyone who reads M’s blog should be made to read and comment on mine too
    *Walks to the corner wondering loudly to herself - IS IT BECAUSE I IS BLACK*

70. 70. M (9 Comments) | March 17th, 2006 at 5:42 pm

    Friends, Kenyans, Countrymen & any other welcome guests,

    Many thanks for all the lovely things you’ve said and all the love you’ve shown.

    I’ve been running up and down all week which is why I’ve not replied to all your comments. In fact I run up and down quite a bit so those sporadic silences — don’t mind them.

    Thanks for taking the time to pass by and to say something. I deeply appreciate it. This blog has helped me keep my mind sharp, made me lots of very good friends, given me ideas, challenged some of my own and kept me on my toes.

    And I can’t thank you all enough.

    Make no mistake about it — this blog is not me. It’s you guys.

    Merci

    M

71. 71. Guessaurus (122 Comments) | March 17th, 2006 at 6:22 pm

    YAY - you replied. Ps sorry if I came across meaning that you werent replying to the comments - I meant that you couldnt cos they were so many. Ah well, thanks all the same.

    We love your blog, and by extension you (should that be in reverse ?) which is why we keep coming back - your brilliance, sense of humour, diversity of topic, and of course, taking the piss out of them politicians keeps all of us happy.

    Cheers..

72. 72. Jaba Boeku (JB) (2 Comments) | March 17th, 2006 at 6:47 pm

    @M: - U R doing a totally fantastic job…. keep dem coming.

73. 73. acolyte (179 Comments) | March 17th, 2006 at 8:31 pm

    @ M
    I know once you get past 30 comments replying starts getting harder and harder.Not that I get to that many that often.
    @ Guess
    Usijali you’ll get lots comments at least out of pity.Hee hee hee.ps: aren’t you more of chocolate as opposed to black?

74. 74. mruhya (59 Comments) | March 18th, 2006 at 12:29 pm

    @M - u r most welcome.

75. 75. mruhya (59 Comments) | March 18th, 2006 at 12:43 pm

    I wonder if y’all have received this mail, which being from the net of course cannot be verified:

    “When a Kenyan living here in the Czech Republic showed me your on
    line edition with pictures of Artur Sargsyan and Artur Margaryan who were claiming that they are heavy bussiness people, I could not believe
    my eyes.

    I know both of them and they are not related to the Armenian President. The names they are using is not their original name. Sad that I cant remember their real names.

    What i know is that both of them were members of the elite Czech Army and they were fired because of selling government arms illegally. There after they moved to Turkey and were involved in a lot of drug and arms trafficking where the man claiming to be Margaryan was caught and jailed.

    Since then they disappeared completely only to emerge in Kenya as heavy business men. What i know is they are criminals who will even kill to get money. They are not Armenians as they claim. May be they are using a forged Armenian passport.

    Be careful Kenyans!!!

    Mehmet Öztürk”

76. 76. KIbaowow (1 Comments) | March 18th, 2006 at 4:57 pm

    Great Blog, u write well.
    About your age,29 thing, dont tell me you could be a chick(why r u so sensitive) and not a jamaa(i dont give a ..), not that i am a chauvan..pig..whatever, lakini your female fans are several. Learn from oyunga, keep the mystery, the chicks will each create an ideal M. Like that chick truphena, she was really on clay mugandas case for alledgedly plagerising your article. You might get ideas of her as a hottie nice Ka-lady, my advise, let her fantasize about what M is. I sympathise with Clay though, the rules about crediting a blog are greyish lakini he did make it clear he was not the source, thats not plagerism, its poor crediting at most. I think all that friction resulted in the Nation Article where we have all found your genius. Keep it up, last four days, NOTHING, sema kitu bwana ama mama..lol

77. 77. Guessaurus (122 Comments) | March 18th, 2006 at 5:54 pm

    @M : The mystery deepens apparently we cannot tell your gender as well.
    @Kibaowao he’s a man check previous posts if any doubts .

    @mruhya at the moment anything is possible though our beloved govt will try to say that it is not important what Artur S & M are from, alarming still.

    Margaryan “takes on Security minister” Dudes & Dudettes, the story starts to become amusing.

    (maybe he wasn’t even hoping for a position in Armenia, but instead he wants to become the next prezzo of Kenya? aterere… =)&#41

    Let’s all vote for Margaryan to become “comedian of the year” (closely followed by Aljaksandr Lukaschenka who’s aiming to top this sometime soon).

    And if I may ad more 2cents-gossip to this soap opera: WHO is this Margaryan Kirimu constantly talking to on the phone?

    I say: CELTEL is big player that protects this man as well as others (in Uganda - seen that recent pic showing Museveni on a CELTEL add?). Loyal customers, ladies & gentleman, revenue….aaaahh….bling bling bling… $$$$

    (all this, dear M, to divert the public’s attention away from getting to know your age)

    [...] After the kenyan government raid on standard newspaper early this month, (Something that was covered by MSM around the world), there was talk in Kenya of mercenaries operating in Kenya. Nationmedia (free subscription) had an interview with one of the Artur brothers. The mystery of their involvement can be confusing. Lucky for us, Sammie has a short summary of these events, especially relating to the mercenaries claim and reactions thereafter. M of thinkersroom presents a theatrical piece ‘24 the Mercenaries edition. As reported by Nationmedia, “As a result of the ongoing mercenary saga, one of the hottest new words in the Swahili vocabulary of most Kenyans is Mamluki.”, an ancient term for mercenaries. [...]
