a.POLITICAL CHALLENGE
It has not been experienced peace and stability after independence;civil war has claimed lives and property .Reliance on foreigners for technical man power and administrative needs up yo 1965..secession of katanga and kasai during 1960 Congo crisis.Belgian troops also exploited minerals in the two regions..
Political instability due to sacking of lumumba in 1960 and his subsequent assassination in 1961.external interference between 1960-1964 by UN and Belgium.unrest due to the coup organised by mobutu in 1965 .He banned political parties,suspended constitution and parliament.
Shaba revolution (1977-1978)left many soldiers dead.One party dictatorship of mobutu sese seko.Assasination of Joseph kabila who had dreams of building Congo..Rebels who constantly commit atrocious activities e.g massacre of 160 refugees in Burundi by DRC rebels .This straight international relations.
ECONOMIC CHALLENGES
Repartriation of mining profits to western nations e.g by Belgium who mine extensively in the country .lack of effective trade with her partiners in the 90s slowed down her economic growth .Angolan war prevented her from exporting due to closure of sea route of Benguela ,thus lack of needed foreign exchange.weakening of currency due to massive moneyvprinting .poor economic policies ,hunger ,poverty,rising debt and corruption.
SOCIAL CHALLENGES
Poor education system in the 1960s.This led to high levels of illitracy .unemployment and low standards of living leading poverty..non employment and low salaries to civil servants has led to increased crime levels and starvation ..
Poor conditons in refugee camps due to delayed material supply as political instability still abounds .the materials supplied are also inadequate.mass murders have derailed peace Hunger,mulnutrition ,misery and insecurity have discredited kabila regime ..

‘’Rice is one of the staple foods in the global. Rice is easy to prepare and can be consumed with anything unfortunately it might not be a healthy meal to eat during the night.

Rice is rich in starch and breaks down easily hence can be digested easily.it is a dish that leads to an instant spike in your blood glucose levels as it breaks down easily and that means ,you have an instant of energy.

Rice also leads to serious weight gain and has more calories that if not used up is stored as fat in the body.

The fact that rice can be digested easily is disadvantage because you are going to be a sleep for the next few hours, your body will not get any nutrition for these many hours. Therefore you will wake up the next morning feeling hungry as your body was in starvation on mode during the night.

Rice is light food and people take is as a better option from other foods.it is better to consume high-fibre during the night because they are not easy to digest.

It is even better to switch to brown rice because it does not break down easily.one can even decide to eat two chapattis and skip eating white rice that lacks nutrients.’’

The mighty duo have been believed to be going round the world trying to catch a glimpse of how a marchial government and constitutional work.

A source has revealed that gold scam unleashed was just an  AOB to their meeting in discussing refferendum with the princein Dubai,nevertheless the duo are not yet ready to the government in the wrong hands.

Raila is believed to be eying the position of a kingmaker while uhuru to take the high position of a king.

But team tangatanga has bowed not stop too,preaching the word of succession and luring Kenya into their trap to vote for them.

Anyway is it true that their leader AKA hustler is corrupt,land grabber,tribalistic and non other than a lier.

Truth be told no one is perfect but when it comes to politic we give our trust to the those who don’t care about the nation but their family en their territories,so we asking do team tangatanga  really want the best for Kenya or themselves…?or are they preaching water but they drink wine!!

After a dramatic loss of champion’s league to Ajax Amsterdam in the quarter finals, it has been seen that the club is counting a loss since there main reason to buy Cristiano from real Madrid was to win the champions leagues trophy. Though the club may have return the cost of the player through the selling of jerseys labeled his name and also other stuffs e.g. scuffs, boots, mavins/caps.

The club have been winning the Italian league for several times  since they have no stiff competition so they signed the word class player to help them easy win the champions leagues but there was great disappointment after losing the competitions at the quarter finals in front of their home fan at the Turin the clubs stadium. The club fans were not exited of the loss and kept chanting the stars names to help win the game.

When Cristiano Ronaldo was asked what could be major cause of their loss he said the problem was that the players had no enough gas and after they were scored by the opponent team his fellow players lost morale of the game. He also added that he is in talks with his agent if possible he can get another club to be signed and also end his career at the place although the club isn’t ready to leave him. This left the fans commenting their views online.

A well known speaker stood up in a church service to motivate students .In his hand he was holding a one hundred shilling note .He greeted the students and he said, ‘’who may want to have this one hundred shilling note’’ hands went up in the air, it was everybody in the church wanted to have the money. He then asked everybody to put hands down ,the speaker crumpled, spitted and also threw it down in dust and stepped on it , he picked it up again and asked the crowd,’’ who still want to have this one hundred shilling note? Hands still went up in the air.

The speaker then went on and said, ’’no matter what I have done to the money, you still want to have it because its value haven’t depreciated .He continued, which ever situation you have gone through in life, you might have been stepped on spitted and also crushed ,you are still priced to those who value you.

We all learnt that ,each and everybody is valuable and priceless to those who value others.

I’ve been closely following the latest episode of the brutal and merciless killing of the slain Ivy in Eldoret recently and was really moved by how young men decide to choose murder as the only option hence ending up rotting in jail.

Dear men,why should you risk yourself by investing so much on that one chick and giving her all the love?Why should you spend much of your energy and time on her alone?Now let me introduce you to this trick hoping it will help you deal with this thing if it ever comes your way.Have a minimum of three slay queens for instance…let’s call them A,B and C.

Be a safe player as much as possible,of course you’ll have your favourite slay queen among them.Treat her a bit different unlike others.Now what’s the whole point here?This will help you cope with the stress that comes with “kuachwa bila notice”and you’ll be able to move on immediately.

Finally to my fellow ladies,don’t value money too much to some point where you forget about you dear lives.Remember,money is the root source of all evil.Think about your parents,the far they’ve brought you,the money they have used on you since you were born cannot in any way be compared to “hizo pesa mbili sponyoo hukupea.”Be wise.
