Meet Coca Cola's Mr. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

From Rags to Riches.....

Life is full of stories such as these and incidentally these are the stories that excite me. For Kenyan TV comedian Charles Bukeko a.k.a. (Papa Shirandula) and global Coca cola superstar a.k.a Mr. BRRRRR, the story of a rags to riches journey is but a real story for him.

Once a hustler, living in the commoners hood in East Nairobi, often walking to his hang out Kenya National Theatre to look for a part in any play to feed him, is now so far up amoung the monied in Kenya. His gods smiled at him one morning, and the rest is history! Watched globally where Coke sells, Mr. Brrrrr is a super star who during his travels on the international scene oftens recieves the VVIP treament and dines with Presidents and top global corporate CEO's!

But desitiny, in my view always provides for those that position themselves at the right places, the right time being divine. He met this Coke honcho from Atlanta who had an idea, had probably talked to many other people before Papa Shirandula, but settled on Shirandula's idea, thus catapaulting him to the big league. This story just makes me so proud, so alive and so psyched of people who succeed, because i know that as long as you struggle, wheather you fall as many times as you do, one day, everything will just fall into place.

Kenyan Justice Minister resigns

BREAKING NEWS

Martha Karua dumps Kibaki!

Kenya's Justice and Constitutional affairs Minister Martha Karua has just made good her threat and walked out of a fragile coalition government that many analysts says is breathing its last!

In the developing story that has just broken from Nairobi, the Minister made the threat yesterday after a Sunday service in Nairpbi after citing frustrations of being overlooked by President Kibaki on the appointment of the recently sworn in new judges.

Martha Karua, a lawyer and one of Kibaki's staunchest supporters calls in quits after a tiff with Kibaki her godfather has apparently misbehaved on her!

But Kenya politics as they are right now are just but the beginning of pre election fevers and re alignments for the anticipated election in 2012. Martha Karua, now the chairperson of Narc Kenya has never hidden her presidential ambitions for high office and this i think is just part of that strategy that she has been long waiting for to boost her waning political profile.

Karua id believed to have been the political and legal brains behind Kenyan President Kibaki's theft of the last election that resulted in a major civil unrest in the East African state.

The saga continues.....
