:: Nairobi Facebook changes
05 June 2008

Alright guys and girls. There have been a few changes since I was tracking those who are near and dear to me (and you too I hope!). While I can't even pretend to know like one third of Nairobi. Here are a few changes that have been going down. And off course since I recently joined Facebook, I have to use the style of that networking site. Have I missed anything?

:: Tony Mochama wrote a poetry anthology called "So what if I am a literary gangster?" He also nearly wore a wedding dress. It was really close.

:: Gitau Muraguri left the biggest food company in the world Nestle and joined the biggest bank in Kenya by capitalisation Barclays Bank.

:: Martha Nyagi Kibi left Chase bank and went on to Barclays.

:: Isaac Maluki left AIM and joined the start-up that is Doanis. Pinky and the Brain need tips from this guy if they really intend to take over the world.

:: Angela Githuthu left Reckitbenkiser and joined the chocolate factory that is Cadbury. When do I collect my cavity inducing goodness?

:: Eddah Kaguthi moved back to Nairobi and is working with one of those international agencies that has its offices in Nairobi, Geneva and New York.

:: Gerry Gitau finally started his own technology firm Essential Technologies & Solutions Ltd. It was about time.

:: Eddie Mbugua went to Nigeria and gave his best shot at being the African Apprentice. He left the show in a blaze of glory with hugging, tears and drama aplenty. I expected nothing less from this one of our favourite thespians.

:: Charles "CEO" Otieno continues to edit the youth bible. Avoid him until the Man U euphoria ends.

:: Joseph Ngunjiri is the guru where Kenyan books are concerned. Anyone who dares argue with me on this gets a Britney Spears thrown at them on Facebook.
