22 Ways To Survive In Case Of A Terror Attack In Kenya- SHARE THIS WITH YOUR FRIENDS TO KEEP THEM SAFE

Mr. Gamadhere, the suspected architect of terrorism attacks in Kenya.

Is there something we can do to save our lives incase we find ourselves in a terror setup?

We have seen an upsurge in violent terrorist attacks, in Kenya we have lost parents, friends, sons and daughters of this nation, We aren't sure of when and where they(Terrorist) will attack next, But how should we behave when they find us on their scene?

I have dug and found this article from Edit International, Titled "How to save yourself and others". I found necessary to share with you, Maybe or should i say probably, We can survive.

How To Survive Terror Attacks in Kenya

Tip 1

Suicide bombings have proven to be an effective terror method and will soon spread to the rest of the world say experts. Be aware of people wearing jackets in warm weather or with strange bulges. 

Tip 2

Hijackers kill hostages to terrify the other passengers into submission. If your loved one is taken hostage their best chance of surviving is for you to fight back. 

Tip 3

A simple pen can be used as a weapon to gouge a hijackers eyes and it is a weapon that easily gets through the X-ray.

Tip 4

A rolled newspaper becomes a wooden log that can do terrible damage to a hijacker's throat or face.

Tip 5

An airline blanket can be used to grapple and restrain a terrorist and to keep you from being stabbed. 

Tip 6

The key to stopping a suicide bomber is knowing which kind of detonator he is using and controlling his hand accordingly. 

Tip 7

Use the blanket to blind the hijacker as he goes by in the aisle then knee him in the spine and take him down. 

Tip 8

A hardcover book can do severe damage to vulnerable spots of the human body.

Tip 9

Be prepared to use a gun dropped by an injured Air Marshall - you don't want another weapon in the hands of the hijackers.

Tip 10

The belt you normally wear can be used as a lethal weapon. Always look for the weapon at hand. 

Tip 11

A blanket rolled on your arm can be used to deflect knife slashes. 

Tip 12

A blanket can be used to blind the attacker.

Tip 13

An unopened soda can thrown at a terrorist can stone the attacker to death.

Tip 14

A pen can be absolutely lethal if stabbed into the throat or eyes. 

Tip 15

Women can use a purse to club the hijacker into unconsciousness. 

Tip 16 

If confronting a knife wielding hijacker or terrorist, put a newspaper in your shirt to act as armour against stabbing attacks. 

Tip 17

The key to stopping a suicide bomber is knowing which kind of detonator he is using and controlling his hand accordingly. 

Tip 18

Look for odd behaviour amongst others. If someone is jumpy for no reason and sweating profusely, make sure to tell the authorities, they could be a terrorist.

Tip 19

Be wary of people wearing raincoats when it is not raining. They may conceal bombs.

Tip 20

If you see an unattended suitcase or briefcase, immediately get up and then call the restaurant and police from a pay phone. Don't take the time to tell someone there, you may only have seconds to escape with your life.

Tip 21

One way to survive a terrorist suicide bomber is to try to contain the explosion beneath him. You will probably be thrown in the air and break ribs but you have a chance of living and saving the people around you.

Illustration by David Chan

Tip 22

If you know a bomb is going to go off, lie down with your feet facing the explosive. This makes you a six inch box instead of a six foot tall target. Even if you lose your feet you will probably live. Standing in the face of an explosion is deadly. The shrapnel has many opportunities to pierce your vital organs.

Hope you've learnt something new today...let these terrorists also learn a lesson and keep their cool back in Somalia.

Garissa Attack..Letter to God

This is one of those days when writing is a bit complicated, Following the devastating news of Alshabaab storming in Garissa university college and taking hostage of our beloved students.

At least 15 have been reported dead and over 65 were hospitalised from the attack. 550 people are uncounted for  at the campus that had about 815 students

Dear God

The enemy has already declared himself, He has even warned us that we will be surprised when we realised the number of the student killed inside the hostels..to be sincere, We are worried.

On my part, No matter how strong I want to be strong, I must admit its getting me down. Every time this terrorist injure my fellow country men and women, My heart is injured. Every time they attack and kill my fellow citizen and people of my spirit, My spirit die. I feel been pain, Which kills me little by little

I have never known what their objective have been, But when their bomb the civilians,when our innocent are held hostage ,when we are hijacked and killed defencelessly, we are lost and left of fear. We feel slaves
We feel the enemy is taking over,
The enemy is slowly winning

And all we can ask is you to take Charge like you used to do in the days of Moses..Punish those who fight us, Protect us lord


Just all I can write for now

Peace be with us

Monday night FA Cup

Though in a 'sperm' format,I remember watching Arsenal beat Manchester united to win the FA cup in 1979.It felt great.Its still fresh in my mind the heavy defeat arsenal suffered on 28th August 2011, It felt .........

It will be a journey way back to find when Arsenal won against United, But many of you will agree,there's always something a bit special when Arsenal meet Manchester united.

Players, fans and the football analyst find it exceptional, "Clash of the Titans" and if you want, Mayweather vs Pacquiao moments. All pre match comments and reactions are always big than it happens.

Tonight Match is no difference, The tempo is already high, The red devil fans are already celebrating judging from the past meeting,while The Gunners fingers are tightly closed praying hard that tonight be the end of the 'norm'.

Juan matta on his latest blog hint  how excited excited they are. His comment make it look so easy for his side

"To tell the truth,the team is really excited about the FA Cup, and facing an opponent like Arsenal in the last eight is great opportunity to enjoy pure english football.And the fact that we play in old Trafford gives us extra motivation and optimism."

Arsenal boss describe it big and sound more cautious

“It’s a big game, and every big win in a big game has an impact subconsciously in the belief of the team. “Once you get to the quarter final you think that’s a good opportunity to win a trophy. Winning the FA Cup last season gave us energy. How much, I don’t know

Nobody knows what will happen. But something new and positive to Arsenal might happen.
We were taught not to count your chickens before they are hatch, But I feel like we own the  night...ARSENAL all the best.

WHEN I GROW UP

I have never liked this question from the start. I'm sure am not the only kid who grew around this unfair question that demands you to take an imaginative trip to your future little after you learn how to talk and walk.but all in all,if you didn't make it to what you said,you can fake it and make it (of-course not the certificates of doom way)

"What do you want to be when you grow up?"

At 5 yrs, I said i wanted to be my Dad.you can guess why.Dad seemed to have all powers,making everything look simple and possible.He could avail all that i needed even before I mentioned it.

He allowed me to lick sugar dish something my mum was against and always guarding it with a blue slippers.Dad was awesome,playing me guitar and piano every evening,he trained me(using sufurias and basins) on how to play drums...why would i not want to be this father? 

When we are young,the world is wide and all gates seems open.All dreams are achievable and our parent want us to name the big and best post in the World.Name them President,Attorney,Professor,Surgeon,Architect or any other top job you can imagine.

But i never saw my self in any of those line,not that i was pessimist my heart was elsewhere.

But I had to prove to mum and Dad that I too have a 'big' career vision,i had to show them hope and make them feel proud of their son.and that's how i came up with my three (I wanna be)

1. Lawyer
2. Pro-Footballer
3. Editor

I'm a 'Lawyer'
My high school grade couldn't allow me to apply for any law school, So any wish of being court clerk leave alone a lawyer was crashed then. But I never regret and I'm always happy it happened

There is an old adage that says the first year in a law school they scare you to death, the second year they work you to death,and the third year they bore you to death, And thats a process I never want to go through

But dreams are alway valid if i have to refer to this cliché. Joining a Journalism college and attending a "Media law" class was sensational. And for your information, I hardly loose an argument however complicated the opponent try to be, Thus I feel am almost a lawyer.

I'm a 'Pro-Footballer'
A professional football player isn't all about being very good at playing football, but most to think strategically and make the best use of your talent. I won't explain more on this but believe I'm doing good in the football world.(Maybe i should mention my Sportpesa experience)

I'm an Editor

One thing i enjoyed most in my high school free time is writing to the newspaper editors.Though none of my articles was published,I always felt hopeful that one day i will be that editor and people we write to me.

Little did I know that i will end up in the film making field, And here I'm enjoying video editing more than the editorial bench I used to admire.

I end this by saying lets be what we need to be. If there are no signs of you becoming what you dreamt to be, don't shy off living because life is full of twist and surprises. If life gives you lemons, find Vodka and throw a party.LIVE HAPPILY, LIVE LONG

I would like to here what your Wanna be's.Its free to share

The Gamblers (Pata Poteas) Of Nairobi

Today I admit to these two "Sins".

The Sin Of Watching Women Smoke

Despite how much I hate smoke and smoking, I absolutely enjoy watching(from a distance) beautiful ladies smoke,may be i should be specific and say cigarettes. I really don't know or see what attract me to this unhealthy fetish so don't ask why.

The Sin Of Enjoying Public Chaos

Next is public chaos or crisis.Whenever i come across a controversy in the streets,as long as am not involved, i ensure am the last person to leave the stage of the scene.I love when something is wrong,when guys are rubbing shoulders and hating on each other in public.

I take it as a learning process or an eye opener if such a situation will come to me one day. More-so, I can defend myself and say its because i am a scriptwriter and such tensing scenes attracts writers minds and eyes.

Maybe you have been warned before,but that won't stop me from cautioning you again and again of this Three card games in Nairobi streets famously known as pata potea.For the last two weekends i have been following this guys and i can assure you this is total day robbery.

May i push it to your mind that in this city,there is no and there will never be any simple way or formulae to double your cash or make you rich in a day or few hours,even hard work which my primary school motto used to say pays, has disappointed many

I have watched a number passerby get tricked and loose big amount of money in the name of gambling and doubling what they have. I cant tell clearly tell how once fall for the trick but i tend to think there is more than normal enticement.Kenyans get tricked one after the other throughout the day as the tricksters celebrate their easy, Tax free cash.

How Gamblers of Nairobi Make Money

You are walking on the streets and you find a group of people surrounding a make-shift carton table and their 'master/mistress' in the middle.The members scooping cash and 'winning' big .

As you pass by, One card they are using is dropped and you are urged to help them collect,with your good,helping heart you collect it and hand it to them and in return they thank you giving you a two hundred Kenya shillings note (appreciation fee) and that's how you get confused and join the game willingly. This trick has been linked to witchcraft or other for of dark force which block the mind forcing you to do as they tell you.

They will let you win the first and the second game,they will give you hail of praise of how lucky you are,then convince you to give all the money you have so that you can harvest big cash.by now everyone around is encouraging you to give it a try.

Its then that you are declared to have lost and they urge you tell you to leave,if you disagree,they fold up ready to leave and in case you insist to get back your money,their 'security' appears from nowhere and you will be mugged and loose everything else on you.

Surprisingly, the men in blue in patrol watch and walk away and no action taken,maybe this is an allowed illegality that we have to live with.

Take Care
'Potea kabla pesa yako ipotee'...Run before you loose your money.

What Doesnt kill you make you stronger

"What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over 'cause you're gone" (Singing).

I will allow you to Cue this song and maybe dance to it after reading this article.its a song by Kelly Clarkson simply passing the message that What doesn't kill you make you stronger and i want to make it clear that the message isn't only for the 'failed' lovers,it applies to any form of life and circumstances.
I have always stood up for the opinion that "Say that to a dumb or a tetraplegic.". I was for the idea that what doesn't kill us make us weaker and weaker, I was right consoling myself that being weak is right and a way of life,till i give it a positive thought on how much we can learn from our failure and recycle them to clinch our success

What should you tell yourself after a failure..I have compiled 5 inspiration thoughts from great thinkers that will leave you encouraged and give you power to move on.

I have not failed. I have just found a 1000 ways that wont work -Thomas A Edison
When Edison was working on his storage battery invention, Someone said to him that he had failed ten thousand times.Unlike you and me who want to believe we have failed,Edison had a say on this "i have not failed" i have just found a thousand ways that wont work" He responded.
He admitted that path to his achievement was tough but he said he achieved his success through countless failures

Fall seven times,stand up Eight -Japanese Proverb
"Nanakorobi yaoki" That's how you say it in Japanese.We all start  crawling in life, before taking any step, we have to stand.The first time we fall down only come after we stood up.That's enough prove that you can stand up again and even take a step forward.when we fail,there is hope that we can still get back up. It might look slim, but never give it up

Our greatest glory consist not in never failing, But in rising after fall -Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is not so easy to get up when we are down, but we got to put on a positive gear focusing more on future than the past. Past is gone, present is what we have to get ourselves better and better for tomorrow.The next adventure awaits us

Remember that failure is an event, not a person - Zig Ziglar
The best explanation i got for this Zig thought is that success is the doing, Not the getting;In the trying, not the triumph.It is a personal standard, reaching the highest point that we can and overcoming all the hindrances that stop us from getting there.Events are not permanent,they come and go.

Failure is success if we learn from it.- Malcolm Forbes
There is always something we can learn from our past. Things to do and what not to. It is always good to look back and realize what made us fail. Then you can avoid it next time as you take your next lift.

Am not trying to  justify failure. But rising up after you fail is the first step to success.Embrace failure to start up success.they say if you haven't failed, you haven't tried.We are living an Era where we cannot always get everything right, no matter how much smart we are all, or how good we are in planning.Getting stuck is part of us and its time we compose ourselves and push hard to our goals.

Finally, This is what keep me motivated

Will Smith life got flip turned upside down when he owed the IRS $2.8 million in taxes in 1989

Vincent Van Gogh only sold one painting out 900 in his life

 Lady Gaga got dropped by a major record label after only three months

Michael Jordan was rejected from high school varsity basketball team

Winston Churchill lost his first campaign for a parliament

And closer home, kevin Bahati was raised up in a children's home

My first article had a reach of 2 people and zero comments

Who are you to give up?

“if I become complacent and don’t take risks, someone will notice what I am doing and improve upon my efforts over time, and put me out of work. You’ve got to keep finding better ways to run your life, or someone will take what you’ve accomplished, improve upon it, and be very pleased with the results. Keep moving forward or die.” - See more at: http://www.success.com/article/why-failure-is-good-for-success#sthash.TxN7gcUU.dpuf
