IT MIGHT HAVE TAKEN OBAMA SOMETIME TO HEAD TO AFRICA BUT WE CAN PROUDLY SAY, HE IS FINALY GOING BACK TO HIS ROOTS.



As a few Africans  get ready to welcome president Obama, some business men and investors could barely wait for this moment to see what opportunity might arise with Obama's visit. According to East Africa business week report, Obama's main agenda is to focus on Africa Trade.
US Ambassador to Tanzania, Alfonso Lenhardt said last week, Obama will seek to reinforce US focus in Africa on areas such as economic cooperation, strengthening institutions of democracy and investing in the next generation of African leaders.
For more information on Obama's visit to Africa visit me and together we stay informed.

BEN POL- THE VOICE WITH NO LIMITS

He has captured the hearts of many but stole the souls of his funs  worldwide with his voice and innovation.If winning the best singer song writer of the year, realising a new hit single JIKUBALI was not an indication of his talent, CHANNEL O has once again proven to his funs and peers that Ben Pol is here to stay.It was a great Honor to Ben and his team to learn this morning he is the very 1st Tanzanian artist to have his song broadcasted on CHANNEL O.Congratulation my dearest nasisi  huku Canada tumekubali.

NAKUPENDA PIA  WYRE FT ALAINE  !!!!!! MUST SAY AFRICAN ARTISTS DONT GET THE RESPECT THEY DESERVE.......

Which East African does not now  Wyre? forgive me for not mentioning the other artists names but I have been caught in a moment and before everything evaporates, let me jot my mind out. African artists are the real deal right now .....face it, the beat, the swag, the sentimental to their tunes and who can forget the dance moves? Lets look back at BeyoncĂ©. Have you really looked as to who is behind her dance moves? oh yeah she had to fly an African dance group Tofo Tofo to teach her some dance moves for her  Who Runs' the world Video? but if you are not into behind the scene details, would you have known that?
In short, when it comes to African  music, we are almost 85% original, but does that give our artists the respect they deserve? No it does not. With that said  I leave you this video to witness ONE OF OUR OWN KENYAN  talented  Wyre ft Alaine  NAKUPENDA PIA this video makes me proud to love, respect and support African artists.
ENJOY........................
 
MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES  TO ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED TANZANIA  SONG BIRDS MR.BARNABA WHO HAS LOST HIS BELOVED MUM.
(Salamu za pole na rambi rambi zimfikie msanii Barnaba na familiya yake)

Vulnerability felt through death can be felt in many ways but the vulnerability of a mother's death is more painful than words can describe and may the Lord be with you and your family at this difficult time Barnaba.

QUOTES & IDEAS

I refuse to let today’s obstacles be a reason to my sadness, or the discouragement of reaching my best potentials. I have learnt to be my own biggest fun when I succeed and be my worst critic when I  fail. Afrodivaz by Anna Salim

WORST FLOOD EVER HIT CALGARY! MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU ALL.

This is the City I call home, Cultivating, smartest city, business friendly, family oriented and also ranked as the world's 5th best city to live on earth. But with all the praises, we could not have escaped one of the worst floods to ever hit Canada. Below are some of the images of how bad things are  but despite being away, my prayers are all with you my fellow Calgarians.




Calgarians were warned to stay away from Downtown.

Dearest God of  heaven

Praying and hoping this will come to an end soon.
