My 2012 Wish List

Well, its yet another year full of promises but to others it could be quite dull especially if nothing good is in the offing for you. This is the day when folks make plans or resolutions regarding what they'll do or not do; habits to kick and get rid off; something you've been planning to buy but somehow money just ran out of your pockets in 2012-blame it on inflation, or simply a holiday somewhere in Hawaii.Oh! i'd love that!
This is the same year when Iran recently test-fired its long range missile while threatening to block the Strait of Hormuz if the US & its allies goes ahead with their suctions over its nuclear activities; North Koreans have a younger and new leader at the helm to preserve the power in the family etc etc.
This is also the same year sports-wise when London will be hosting the Olympics; Africans will be treated to a spectacular African cup of nations tourney; Poland and Ukraine are gearing for EURO 2012 which makes my football diary kinda loaded already.

Politically, Americans are gearing for elections and so are we here in Kenya. Nigerians woke up to the sad news that Good Luck Jonathan's  government will literary wean them off oil as it were by withdrawing the subsidies hitherto poured on the petroleum products claimed to benefit only the middle class who can afford   energy products- am still wondering why a country the size of Nigeria- being Africa's largest producer of oil- still imports oil owing to the fact that it lacks infrastructure in the form of a refinery- what a shame! Their team failed to qualify for the African cup of Nations and currently the security forces are battling with a terrorist organization going by the name Boka Harram. Their wish list must be longer than mine i suppose...

So what is in my wishlist; well, all i want for starters is to have a good health and happiness:)) Did i also mention that i'd love for my blog to win the Yobloco Awards:)? Wont that be so cool? Yea, that'd put icing on the cake. I also want peace in war-torn areas- Our troupes are on the ground in an effort to contain an amorphous Al shabab militia group in the neighboring Somalia-American troupes just managed to withdraw the last group of troupes in active combat in Iraq; maybe we can borrow a leaf or two; The Kenyan shilling has gained some substantial ground against the world majors like the greenback and the Euro- hope it maintains that momentum.
I want a free world where everybody has an equal opportunity to shine and help make this world a better place, coz we are team members after all, aren't we? That also comes with responsibility...Its a package.
                                                       HAPPY NEW YEAR FOLKS!
