Ambition is still loving Chelsea Clinton even after her engagement!
Just when this tale was almost forgotten the Kenyan businessman who had previously attempted to woo Bill and Hilary Clinton’s only child Chelsea resurfaces.
Godwin Chepkurgor wrote a two page long letter to Chelsea meant to be sent through the American Ambassador Michael Ranneberger on a ‘very private and personal issue’.
“I am still smitten. I have recently learnt through the media that my beloved lady is betrothed to someone else and that she plans to wed “this summer”. Sir, when is summer?” Godwin asks in the letter, “However, believe me sir; I am so happy for her. I wish her all the joy and success as she plans for the auspicious occasion and much happiness thereafter.”
He sounds so determined and stills believe there is a chance of getting Chelsea as life time patner.
“In her internet posting, she says that she “hopes that all will be there”. When I noticed that, my heart skipped in hope and anticipation. Would that be her shy and polite way of inviting me? Is it so my good ambassador? If she beckoned and bid me come, tell her that I would walk out of any fortified den and walk across any lion infested savannah. I would swim across the Atlantic Ocean; conquer the dreaded pirates from Somalia and every brutal terrorist from Afghanistan. I will outwit and out swim all sharks and whales of any great sea and of the boundless ocean to deliver a rose to her.”
During Hillary's August 2009 visit to Kenya, businessman offered 40 goats and 20 cows for the opportunity to marry Chelsea Clinton. The offer was a renewal of an offer that he originally made during 2000. Hillary was amused but said that the decision would be up to Chelsea to decide, as she is "very independent". Talk about ambitions…..this one is an inspiration way past Kimani Marugi’s ambition to become a doctor at 84 years.

If age was the issue….now you know!
(Photos Courtesy Of http://www.hotsecretz.blogspot.com/Grayce Kerongo)
Lately there have been speculations and most people trying to justify for Eric Wainaina-Valerie –Sheba saga which revolves around who’s the father of Valerie’s unborn child. Most men supporting Eric said if it’s true he is the father then he must have done so as he was craving for younger blood assuming Sheba was older than him. However after speaking to very close sources to the couple we can now confirm that they assumed wrong as Sheba is two years younger than him. Let’s just say to whatever happened…..sh*t happened.

Kenyan artistes broke?
Mhhhhhhh! It seems Kenyans abroad are not amused with our local celebs lifestyle. This observation comes after Kenyans in Dubai complained about the artistes who have been entertaining them during the festive season. “The fans claimed that the artistes who entertained them during the December festivities looked wasted (wamechapa) yet they pay so much cash to see them perform. Clearly what happens to the money? They lack swagger and look miserable, they should be presentable” said one of the Dubai based DJ’s who was working alongside the artistes. Meanwhile a former member of K-South based in Atlanta is said to have beaten up his baby mama and went hiding to avoid being arrested by the authorities.
