Black Coffee Reveals More About His Disabled Hand. In an interview with Bridget Masinga on Kaya FM DJ and Music Producer Black Coffee shared more details about his disable hand which he revealed for the first time few months back. He wrote a caption on his instagram post when he shared an image which read:
“When I was young after the car accident I used to wear one and being a kid it was hard as kids can be mean so I decided to stop wearing it especially in public. It has taken me so much time to appear like this in public because of my own insecurities but I decided to post this picture not just because for years people had their own versions of my story‚ I did this for myself‚” he wrote.
Now he spoke of how after all this period of time he feels free for not wearing a brace.
“It’s been a long journey now on myself to deal with it quietly and finding strength. The people around me know that I wear a brace but it’s never been in public. The more I do it‚ I feel so free. Especially overseas I would‚ because no one knows who Black Coffee is and no one really cares. But locally people start staring and I had to get over that.”
He further explained the importance of showing off his hand and the impact it may have had on his career. “It was a very important moment for me‚ to post that picture. When I started my career‚ I had to sit down and think how do I want to be known…I could have been that new DJ with a disability if I started out with the story…I completely shut that door.”

UHURU KENYATTA WINS IN 2017 KENYA ELECTIONS
President Kenyatta wins election for second term, pledges to serve all Kenyans equally
NAIROBI, 12 AUGUST 2017, (PSCU) — President Uhuru Kenyatta was declared winner in the 2017 presidential election with 8, 203, 290 votes translating to 54.2 percent of the total votes cast.
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission Chairman Wafula Chebukati declared the President the winner at 10.17 p.m. Friday after the commission completed the tabulation of the votes relayed by Returning Officers in all Constituencies after 15,073, 662 Kenyans cast their ballots on August 8th.
Mr Chebukati also announced that President Kenyatta garnered at least 25 percent of the votes cast in 35 counties out of the 47 counties.
In his acceptance speech, President Kenyatta, who was flanked by his running mate, Deputy President William Ruto, First Lady Margaret Kenyatta and the DP’s spouse Rachel Ruto, pledged to serve all Kenyans without bias as the Jubilee Administration continues with its transformational development agenda.
He said he will serve all 45 million Kenyans equally as his Government continues with the work to create equitable prosperity for all.
The President also used his acceptance speech to reach out to his main rival Raila Odinga who got 6,762,224. The Head of State said he was extending a hand of friendship and of cooperation to the NASA candidate and all his supporters so that all Kenyans remain united for the progress of the country.
“To our worthy competitor, we are not enemies. In every competition there shall be winners and losers. I extend a hand of partnership, of cooperation. This country needs all of us to succeed and Kenyans want it to succeed,” said the President. “I reach out to you, to all your supporters and to all those elected to the opposition bench. We shall work together to build this nation.”
He assured Mr Odinga and other leaders elected on opposition tickets that he will always be ready to listen to them for the benefit of all Kenyans.
President Kenyatta urged Kenyans to remain united and to remember that they are all brothers and sisters. “To fellow Kenyans, elections come and go but Kenya is here to stay. Let us always remember that we are all brothers and sisters,” said the President.
President Kenyatta, who campaigned on a platform of the foundation for progress his Government has laid down and his Action Plan to create more jobs, lower prices and boost security said he would work harder to make Kenya more prosperous.
“I pledge that I will leave this country better than I found it. We pledge that we will finish the work we started. We will rededicate ourselves more to serve this great nation,” said the President at the IEBC’s tallying centre at the Bomas of Kenya where Mr Chebukati handed over to him the winner’s certificate.
The President thanked his supporters, campaigners and staff for enduring long days and nights as he traversed the country over the last two months to reach out to Kenyans in all parts of the country.
He also congratulated the electoral commission for successfully completing the election process despite the many obstacles it faced in the lead up to the polls.
The President also thanked the hundreds of observers for their contribution to raise the standards of the Kenya election.

8 -STEPS OF CREATING YOU TUBE CHANNEL
1.Pick an appropriate YouTube Channel name. Think of a name not many people will use, but will easily remember. If it's inappropriate, you'll have a bad image. You can choose to use your real name if you'd like, or you can make up a good one. But choose wisely as you won't be able to change it later on.
2.Remember to make a cool username and a catchy channel name. You don't want it to be like any other channel so be creative and make a totally new one that nobody but yourself could think of. Try and involve what you're doing into the name, such as Johns Artistic Channel - it's catchy, to the point and tells you what he will be doing on his channel. By adding aesthetic to the art in the name it gives you the vision of a cool and fun person showing YOU how to draw things.
3.Go to YouTube and log in with your Google account. Once you are logged in, you will see your name or username at the top of the left menu. Click this to access your user page.
4.Add a profile picture. It's a necessary piece of your YouTube channel. Make sure it has something to do with your channel name to ensure it's not confused with someone else's that looks similar.
5.Add channel art. This is an image that is seen at the top of your channel page. YouTube will show examples of how the image will be displayed on the website, a TV, or a mobile device.
6.Describe your channel. Add a brief description for your channel to let the viewer know what kind of content to expect. To adjust the channel description, click the About tab in the main channel window. From there click the “+ Channel description” button.
Use the description to include links to your other websites, or to update news about your channel. Discuss who appears in your videos and link other related channels.
Make sure your description makes sense, because it is publicly visible at all times. It should most likely be a brief description of you and your channel.
7.Name your channel. Look at your description and the intended video content. Use this to determine the name.
For example: if your videos are about knitting beautiful hats, you could call it: Proudly Knitted; The Infinite Knitter; or Woolly Mountains. And so forth.
8.Add some links. If you add links to your social media from your channel, make sure you have created a separate account for each example, Facebook page, Twitter account, Instagram account. But remember, it's not always recommended to do this.
WHY UHURU KENYATTA SKIPPED PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE 2017
Opposition flag-bearer Raila Odinga showed up for the mouthwatering presidential debate between him and his main Chall
enger Uhuru Kenyatta. The development came even after he had threatened not to show up unless his opponent Uhuru Kenyatta showed up.
enger Uhuru Kenyatta. The development came even after he had threatened not to show up unless his opponent Uhuru Kenyatta showed up.
Uhuru Kenyatta had until the last minute not made it clear if he would attend the debate, having claimed the organiser's did not engage his team throughout the preparation.
Earlier in the day, National Super Alliance (NASA) flag-bearer Raila Odinga had maintained he will only attend the presidential debate if President Uhuru Kenyatta is present.
On the other hand,we came to realize that Uhuru canceled scheduled tours to Samburu and Marsabit on Monday, July 24, a clear indication that he could attend the presidential debate and face off with his main challenger, Raila Odinga.
However by 8:30 when the debate kicked off, Uhuru Kenyatta had not shown up and instead Raila Odinga took the podium alone. It was no doubt a face-off that many Kenyans anticipated considering the profile of the two presidential candidates.

KENYA'S PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE 2017
Kenyan opposition presidential candidate Raila Odinga on Monday fielded questions alone on stage after his rival, President Uhuru Kenyatta, failed to show up for a debate between the two.
Odinga, who is the flagbearer for the National Super Alliance coalition, said his top priorities if elected in the Aug. 8 general election would be to lower food prices and rent and tackle youth unemployment.
"First is the issue of putting food on the table, reducing the cost of living for the people. This is our priority number one. We address the issues of flour, so that we can lower the prices of maize flour, sugar," he said.
He said to lower rent he would enforce the existing rent restrictions act. "This law is meant to protect the poor from exploitation by the landlords," Odinga said.
The office of Kenyatta, who is running for a second and final five-year term in office, gave no explanation for his absence.
On Sunday, he answered questions online and pledged to create 6.5 million jobs in the next five years if elected, adding that his administration would continue to invest in infrastructure, education and training, small businesses and a high-tech economy, a statement from his office said.
President Uhuru had a few weeks ago indicated that he would not honour the invite after complaining that the organisers had not involved him to discuss and agree on the format and rules of engagement.
"The position is that the President is not coming but if he decided to show up, that's his prerogative," Jubilee Party Vice President David Murathe communicated shortly before the debate kicked off on Monday evening. The snub gave NASA Presidential Candidate Raila Odinga an opportunity over one hour in the second phase of the debate that followed an early one attended by three presidential candidates, to lay bare his vision for Kenya.
The NASA leader said his first mission if elected will be to bring down the cost of living, address food shortage, create employment and also control rent. "It's my fourth time I am running for the presidency. I represent change. The coalition that nominated me wants to bring change. We want to address mismanagement of the economy," he said.
Raila accused the Uhuru Kenyatta administration of over borrowing only to steal the same instead of investing in projects that can create jobs. "Every shilling spent, another is stolen. As NASA we will address the issue of fiscal discipline and create employment." When asked about a tallying centre in Tanzania, he responded; "Some things exist in some people's imagination. Why would someone be worried about a tallying centre even if it is in Germany, the United States or in the moon? Why should it be a matter of concern unless they are planning to rig? Yes we have a tallying centre in Kenya and in Kenya and in the clouds. The law does not stop anyone from having their own tallying centre."
When asked to justify his constant claim on the use of the military to rig polls, Raila insisted that the experience of 2007 and 2013 and the information he has come across points to the claims saying that all the claims he has made can be substantiated. "I was a Prime Minister and I used to sit in the security organs. I have information and no one can contradict. It's not the responsibility of the military to provide security internally without the express authority of parliament. There are 2 million Kenyans who went to the booth and only elected the President. We have said that the military should desist from the temptation of interfering with the results."
