Obama says he won't be smoking in White House

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President-elect Barack Obama failed to give a straight answer when asked on a U.S. talkshow on Sunday whether he had managed to quit smoking.

In a country where cigarettes are responsible for one in five deaths and smoking costs tens of billions of dollars in health care, Obama has been under pressure to set an example by giving up his reported two-decade-old habit.

Appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press" program, interviewer Tom Brokaw told Obama he had ducked answering the question during an interview last month with ABC's Barbara Walters.

Noting that the White House was a no-smoking zone, Brokaw asked Obama, "Have you stopped smoking?"

"I have," Obama replied, smiling broadly. "What I said was that there are times where I have fallen off the wagon."

"Wait a minute," Brokaw interjected, "that means you haven't stopped."

"Fair enough," Obama said. "What I would say is that I have done a terrific job under the circumstances of making myself much healthier. You will not see any violations of these rules in the White House."

Obama was often observed on the presidential campaign trail chewing Nicorette gum, which helps ease the craving for nicotine. He has tried several times to quit.

The 47-year-old president-elect, who takes office on January 20, works out daily at the gym and sometimes plays basketball. His doctor said in May he was in excellent health, often jogged 3 miles a day and was fit to serve as U.S. president.

Website www.cigaraficionado.com says Gerald Ford, who served from 1974-77, was the last U.S. president to use tobacco on a regular basis. The White House no-smoking rule was imposed by former First Lady Hillary Clinton, now Obama's nominee for secretary of state.

Zain adverts Vs Safaricom Vs Orange adverts

I must say that I have seen stiff competition between this three companies interms of Ads and Tarriffs.

Of all the three, only one has its ads standing out, very colourful and appealing to the eye. Be it the ad’s on Tv, posters or bill boards they still stand out.

Am talking about Zain. I love the strategy they use in coming up with nice energetic britght clours for their ad’s and involing the youth who also ware bright colours.

Safaricom are loosing their grip interms of ad’s. I know their colour is green but they have used it nicely before, what has gone wrong? If they fired their Graphic designer then I propose they hire him again. Tv ad’s are also so boring, nothing so moving and interesting to look at. I remember the maasai ad they did, it was so nice that almost everyone mustard what was going to be said next.

Do something Safaricom, am a big fan of you…..I din’t even dare to Vuka…or join Shika more (Orange) because I knew you were coming up with something to silence them all.

I bragged how safaricom will surprise the market with a new tariff and ad’s but that has not been the case. Jibambie is good but we need more. I must admit I love the way you come up with tariff names like Sasa tariff, Jambo tariff, Sema tariff and so on. Same trend is now adopted by Zain where we have Vuka tariff and now Club 20.

Orange on the other hand is trying but can’t compare with the two. It’s not so popular even though it has the Shika more tariff that allows you to call for Ksh.1. May be they need to push for it more ndio ishike. Have only seen one ad, let's wait and see the next one.

Kogelo has a Website?!!!!

Believe it or not, Kogelo now has a website. The website explains alot about Kogelo village and how to reach there.

See for yourself if you think this is a big joke http://www.kogelo.co.ke

Woud Kogelo....Son of Africa....we are proud of of you

I congratulate the President of the United States of America Barrack Hussein Obama. Martin Luther King had a dream while Obama was in the making.

He is young president and first black president in America.

He is the people’s president and I wish our leaders could learn from him, and stop tribal politics.

He is not only for the American people but for the world at large.

We are proud of you and we pray to God to guide you always and show you all you need to know.

My status Update today

ODM-America.........No Kivuitu.....No form 16 A.........where is McCain?

What's your's?

Obama Democratic Movement ( of America)- ODM

Today is the long awaited day, a day not only for Americans but for the world. Today they vote, for the best of their choice. The world did its part in stating who they favour, now it’s upon Americans to do justice.

Here in our homeland Kenya, we are all for the Democrat, one would say ODM but now with the O standing for Obama and for America. Somewhere in Kogelo, there is a feast going on right now, prayers are clogging heavens for one thing, Obama for White house.

I have not come across anyone who talks about the Republican, and if there exists then may be they are afraid of facing the wrath of Obama supporters. Everyone talks about what he will do when he wins but what they don’t understand is that he is not our president…he is not obliged to help us just because he has roots from here. What if he does not win? That’s the big question people evade.

Some months back we had our own elections and our favourite choices for presidency. Some for Raila while some for Kibaki. The world seemed to go for the ODM and even statistics showed Raila was leading.
It was so obvious that he was going to win the election. Come the Election Day, he was still at the lead according to media until something happened, what happened nobody knows and the next thing we heared was Kibaki was re-elected and sworn in ASP.

Look at what happened in Zimbabwe, Changirae had all the support just like Obama and Raila but at the end we saw Mugabe being sworn in.

What if this repeats itself in America? I know the systems are different but…what if?

What if form 16A decides to vanish? (If it exists that is).

What if Obama looses? Will post election violence repeat itself in Kenya? Or will Kenyans and the rest of the world hold a peacefull demonstration organized by Prof. Anyan’g Nyon’go?

Will Koffi Anan conduct another negotiation to make Obama the Prime Minister as is the trend now in Africa?

Well if we had the same systems of governing then the answer would be obvious.

We wait and see.
