Is The World Ending on 21 May 2011? How to Prepare

Is your community/church etc preparing anything special ahead of this coming ''end of time'' weekend''? Kindly let me know.

I remember in 1994 when we heard that the end of the world was coming. It was such a panicky time. We were so surprised that we were back in school the following day.

Yet, against, another prediction of end of time has come to being. According to a small American Christian movement, 21 May will mark the end of the world, or Rupture.

Harold Egbert Camping

The movement, led by Harold Camping, who runs the Evangelical network Family Radio, is predicting that this Saturday, God will bring about Judgment Day - the time when the earth will be destroyed because of mankind's sins and all Christian believers will ascend to heaven.
 

Camping used mathematical calculations, that comes about by interpreting prophecies hidden in the Bible, to get this date - 21 May.

In Nairobi, while driving along Langata Road, i keep thinking about this prediction. 

Langata billboard in Swahili

Every time i see this billboard carrying this message along this road, I often ask myself, could it be that this American knows what the rest of us do not know. Or is it that he is among the false prophets we were warned about some while back.

 

I don't know. 


Meanwhile, just in case things don't look too good, kindly observe the following things as we await the day.

(1) Clear your phone browsing history
(2) Return all borrowed DVDs
(3) Pass by the bank and get some money (it is actually recommended that you withdraw all the cash in your account) and lastly,
(4) Don't tell your mother-in-law what you really think about her. (You can actually decide to tell her)

Samuel Wanjiru Kills Himself; Trends on Twitter

In death, Samuel Wanjiru became one the most talked about elements in social media, hours after killing himself in his home in Nyahururu, central Kenya.

Police say the Olympic marathon champion killed himself by jumping off his home balcony in the dead of the night early today. He jumped from his first floor balcony to the ground. Yes first floor!

The story is this: Wanjiru, 24, came home last evening with a female companion. Hours later, the athlete's wife, Triza Njeri, then came home, unexpectedly, to find Wanjiru in bed with another woman. She then locked the couple in the bedroom and went outside. From this point, Wanjiru then leapt from the balcony to his death.

So then Njeri, and the woman Wanjiru was with, supposedly a bar maid, are being held by police.

When Wanjiru was, last December, charged in court with threatening to kill his wife, there should have been indications that that relationship was not getting far, or at least, one of them should have mad an about turn about that tormenting marriage.

While his body was lying at some hospital in Nyahururu, Samul Wanjiru, or what remained ot it, rose to become of the most talked of issues on Monday morning on Facebook, Twitter and in blogs.

On Twitter, it was the seventh top trending topic after IMF's sex scal, Strass-Khan.

Jamaican Sex Dance Permeates Kenyan Clubs

There is some dirty dancing style in town. The style represents an exaggeration of some Jamaican dance, which initially had some good level of decorum, but has since subject of controversy.

Actually, this dance simulated sexual acts and positions. In popular respected restaurants, this super-lewd dancing style has become so popular. In the past one week, several videos have been posted to YouTube depicting people in this dancing style.


It is called Daggering as an artistic form of dance originating from the Caribbean, especially Jamaica, incorporating some frantic movement. In this case, dagger means the penis, and that means it is supposed to stab a bending woman, girl!

In light of these details, Jamaican Broadcasting Commission has banned all songs with explicit sexual content from radio and television.


It appears RDX, a Jamaican group imported the dance to Kenya some days ago. There are no indications that this dance style will stop in Kenya soon.

Journalist Wambui Kabiru killed - RIP dear

Journalist Sarah Wambui Kabiru's last update on Facebook was '''i nid help'', hours before she was killed in her house in Eastlands, Nairobi.

Her husband has disappeared, and there have been suggestions that he actually killed her.

I believe that no matter the level of provocation, no one has the liberty to kill another person.

Will post more details later. 

Americans Kill Osama Bin-Laden in Pakistan

Americans have killed Osama bin Laden. President Obama has announced, saying the body of the top terrorist is in the custody of the Americans.

Obama said Bin Laden was killed in a compound in Islamabad, the Pakistani capital. Many people thought that Osama was hiding somewhere on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan, but it appears that he may have been living in Islamabad for some time.

Maybe he was very sick, as he has been sick for some time, and he left the mountains to seek treatment.

Of course the ideology that Osama was pursuing will remain with many supporters, but i want to believe that terrorism, led by Al-Qaedah will be fractured.

Bin Laden created and was funded the Al-Qaeda terror network, accused of attacking America on 11 September, and previous attacks in US embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam.
