Numbers are everywhere. By reading this post, you are an addition the number of people who have opened or read it. That is mathematics in its simplest application.
If you are Kenyan, be very proud. It's that season of political calculations. Compliment it with the last group fixtures of the Champions League, give yourself a PhD in Arithmetic.
December 4th. Deadline for parties and presidential hopefuls to present the Registrar of Parties, their 2013 elections pacts. Everyone is on a rush. This is Kenya don't you forget. We are a people of beating deadlines at the stroke of it. And we are proud of it. That makes us unique. Actually, a lot make us unique. Such as Kalonzo and Ngilu being in the same boat!
Talking of the two, they are now one in an 'accord.' Let's call it the CORD. An amalgamation of inconvenienced political parties and leaders. The CORD brings together the 2002 General Elections buddies. They include Raila Odinga, Kalonzo, Ngilu and the rest. You all saw them in you TV sets. Name them all.
That happened in the day. Later in the evening, another 'accord' would get a last minute entity. Musalia Mudavadi was everywhere but no one knew exactly where. Ask Peter Kenneth and Tuju. They have a testimony to say. In darkness, Ruto is all out to give us our Mudavadi. He joined them. Him and Uhuru, will contest for the flag-bearer post.
Guys, the math is already done and marked right. If you are still naive and ignorant, this is it. It is Mudavadi. Now do the math in reverse.
Next time I talk of Mudavadi, chances are I will refer to him as His Excellency. Am just thinking loud.
To the last CL group stage math. Me and you know, the oil-rich Manchester City did so well in the campaign. It has got itself in the football history book. The first English club to exit the group stages without a win. Also, the second to finish last in the groups after Blackburn in 95/96. By the way where is Blackburn? Do they still play the beautiful game? Question for another day.
Tonight, defending champions (yes, they can defend and win) Chelsea face Nordsjaelland in an extremely risky fixture. Benitez better understand his calculator. Key to note though; if he wants to make money quick, he should bench Torres. That is enough to hand him a huge pay-check. Actually, any manager who wants to make it financially, should scramble for the position at Chelsea and not play Torres. He'll become a millionaire without buying a raffle ticket.
Chelsea has to beat Nords and pray Juventus (having lost no much so far) loses to Shakhtar. Now that, I will call it a miracle if it happens. Though group E is still open for miracles to happen, it will take a prophet to resurrect and see Chelsea through. Should Juventus and Shakhtar draw, it will be required of Chelsea to kick the ball more than 8 times into the Nords net. Assuming Nords do not have a goalie.
Wednesday 2245 EAT it is. Let's see who gets the correct answers at 0100.
Meantime, am looking for one ODM Chairman Henry Kosgey. His calcualtor isn't getting him the desired results.He's been everywhere but nowhere.
