Did this character die. He reminds me of this facebook character called orowenjo ochieng funny guy.
Dr Masinde is a well adept character. A court Jester, a philospher, comedian and a one man theater. He would provoke late OO and just jibe till OO would lose his cool and call him a cyber urchin and other unprintables
He had very good grasp of Luo traditions and literature. He would narrate a funeral Tero Buru and you would think you are reading Greek literature
His comedic genius was in stories he conjured of how he would visit his rich brother that lived in Lavington and eat his coveted Ujuru Meat (chicken Breast). Lol
What about MIL POLO. I think he retired to Kisumu. He was another GOOD Gifted story teller
Then there was Njonjo Mue Dagitari something Kikuyu Chronices of a mad man
We have had characters on this Cyber world. We need to curate some of this work
-
Masinde writing skills were excellent.
-
Dr Masinde is was Raila's classmate. At 75 anything can happen.
The fellows must have had very good English and Kiswahili langiage teachers back then. Masinde just like Raila are good entertainers and are well read.
-
Omollo is also well read, written and spoken. Unlike Pundit here who has written nothing and read even less.

Thats below the belt, Robina. You have something for this dude...

Yeah they were taught grammar very well by scottish missionaries. My dad at 83 yrs writes very clear and concise notes. My mum too. My mum just has a teaching diploma which she acquired in 1960 but her reading speed is just amazing. She can read a 300 literature book in a day. She has read all Ngugi wa Thiongo books, several soyinka books. One summer when she visited she was clearing 10 books a week. Growing up she narrated and interpreted ngugi works to me. When i read I will marry when I want it was a second reading from my memory.
We need to start reading. May be we should start a reading club. I haven't read a book since 2010

Dr.Masinde good people, wonder what happened to him. Mla Chake of NC, mil, TRV and poor Kaloi. I gather Oldun went back to kwinya. Mwari wa Mugo still in Texas, 5thglg aka Muluka relocated back to kwinya....who else? Stocko exchange promoted to glory, may God continue to rest her soul in enternal peace.

Stocko was a genius. What a wasted talent.
She was so smart she skipped 2 classes in primary. Went to Alliance and graduated from uon. Got a scholarship to Canada and lived there illegally for a lifetime.
I talked to her often and she had come to terms that her condition was terminal.
RIP Stocko
Mia chake is still rotting in NC ..dengu is now a cucu

Stocko wa Lari RIP

Dr. Masinde has dry wit.
-
Stocko wa Lari RIP
Stocks passed on???
She lived in Texas, right?

Stocko wa Lari RIP

Yes she died 3 yrs qgo. She was longtime resident of Canada

Wuh, I don't recall any Stocko. RIP

Wuh, I don't recall any Stocko. RIP
Mercedes she emerged during kibaki era. She loved kimunya tribal chauvinistic statements against raila.

But she was a genius? Where can I see her stuff?

No where. Her brilliance is in academic journals or records in UON or Canada. She was a soil science expert. Her dad was a brilliant colonial administrator retired with 3 pensions. Most her siblings are graduates or hold science diplomas.
Her elder brother was so brilliant. He was a rogue student. He would only attend class for 6 weeks in high school but still emerge top student. He got so bored with school he quit in form 2 and came back for half year to do ksce and passed. He then Went into hustling and used to work as finance consultant, surveryor, tax expert and all manner of gigs. If you asked him to get you anything from government office he would just walk in and 15 mins he would produce it. He actually was campaign manager for clement gachanja.
At one point moi appointed him as director to run a gok department
He was the most senior bachelor in the village and at 48 years women got tired of him rejecting their daughters and got one senior spinister to move go his house.
I used to talk to him often and he would share his ideas. We called him broker coz he could get you to any personality in Kenya. His brilliance was legendary. No degrees or titles but a genius with brilliant mind.
Stocko inherited her dad's genes. Her dad was an old colonial administrator. He was the village subchief during and after colonial administration. He was polygamous.
One of Stocko step bros is senior climate scientist.

@Patel & @Plato,
How do you know all these people like personally, when all we have to go with here are pseudo names? :o 8)
TRV by the way has been active on .com. You have to notice him, he has the most awful written English you will come across on a blog forum. But he still prides himself in being trilingual+ (16 languages to be precise) & let's it known he is posting from his Scandinavian Country where he has settled with occasional forays into Kwinya to go taste female meat in it's original habitat.... :-\

Do you know I have met you 2 times AO?
I interacted with most offline ..or know their friends

i am one person TMZ. Even Robina used to my crush in mashada. She was mercedesk then
-
TRV, my dear TRV, I hope he's well.
I think out of all the netters from nether days.. MM has really made a name for himself. A real influencer these days. Kudos to him, I wish him well.
-

Mashada was the first blog I ever joined. Baptism of fire! If you were never in Mashada, you will never know how extreme a blog would go. The worst that can possible come out of human character.
This was the equivalent of the "attitude era" of WWF (as it was known then before legally issues made it change to WWE).
Mashada just had to go out of existence. The govt blacklisted it as No.1 of 6 blogs that were undesirable. And even though it was hosted on an external server, the pressure was such that they eventually folded up. It had zero moderation. Admin totally failed to keep sanity there.
-
Mashada was full of obohos; it was like the eastland of internet - with some sections - pretty much the online kibra. I liked rcbowen. It was mostly diaspora but at least folks were cerebral.

OO was among the few who posted under their real names. Did MM do the same?

Oo with wordy digital essays. He really got messed up by socialism cult. He thought he was Karl Marx. Only that Karl Marx was a rich kid with a lot wealthy to burn while misleading masses. His family owned lots of factories.
Dr Matemo the madd asylum escapee. It was either ngugi we thiongo, njonjo mue or kirgit
Jaluthmacoko died in Nyanza while on vacation. His grave was a paupers grave just a mold of dirt in a poverty ridden Nyanza village.
Dr mboya PhD killed his roommate in drug rage. He is in federal prison selling sex

Yes I talked with her a few times. Never did she mention of her illness, till i read an obituary on this forum. She was so young.

What happened to Ngina from Kansas?
She used to be on Pundits throat all the time.

Robina? But Robina is from California - Ngina had love-hate relationship with kikuyus.

Never knew you were in love with TRV........sure he would be more than happy to jump in the next flight heading to down under from wherever he is to reclaim his Asian beauty beauty. I thought TRV had a crush on 5thglg but then there was a little issue of papa f mwenyewe, hahaha
Gachora is back in Kenya running NIC bank. Tingisa her of kanu fame where did she go?

After Oloo ignored her, Veritas decided to take her gloves off.
-
And this platform full of shags modus fellows. :D :D :D :D
I can list you the people who lived in Eastlands and you will be surprised they are the elite of Kenya today.
Mashada was full of obohos; it was like the eastland of internet - with some sections - pretty much the online kibra. I liked rcbowen. It was mostly diaspora but at least folks were cerebral.
-
Oloo natural good quality writer. Most Kenya political brokers like Njoki ndungu (Murathe side chick) turned supreme court Judge and her friends used OO digital essay material to craft Raila - kibaki MOU. It was all OO brain child though he was never credited.
On a lighter note.....ow that OO is gone is it too late to take Veritas as a third wife? just asking for a friend

What happened to Robina? She was neutral and balanced on political issues until recently when she converted to a serious activist
Other MIA include Einstein aka RealTigree Bryn274 and Dr Dog who was on Dr Masinde's case

That real tigress was a piece of work. Very smart but too naive. Called me a few times from Britain but i had some local girl at that time
-
Hell No
She could be Gladys Shollei
-
That would have been something. Never got over how some jamaa hammered her and took off with her digital camera. who does that?
she must have sold a kidney for that camera I tell you...back then they were not cheap cheap.
Judge Mumbi Ngugi I know she was very active on the web/blog. did she ever visit RCB shores?

Good Luck 8) My opinion is that Ruto is unstoppable and Uhuru is 'Confused' and His confusion has Baba spinning in 'dreamland', and BBI is a Western Sponsored Diversion Program as an option from sanctions that were going to happen as a result of 'swearing yourself in' ....that's my subjective.

Taco guy = cookie.....yeah yeah I remember that fellow. I think he was based in NY, NY. SC was just a throw. very entertaining character that would leave you with
kicheko biggest....Up to this day I have never quite figure out why a grown man would call himself cookie may be he was in alternative lifestyle. Njamba was his best buddy may be he can share...

Wait a minute! This is possible...Ngina was always neutral and composed...until she starts duking it out with the Warriors. She had something personal about RV. Here we have Robina's revised radical political stand that's personal stand against WSR from somewhere in SouthCal where Ngina relocated to from Mid West. lol But not to worry Robina. I follow your views and some are sound very sound.

Robina may be Lydia mulla or mercedesk..RT married a luhyia guy in washington State. She had twins last time I heard from her. She was a nice person but too excitable
-
Good for him, Maendeleo tupu. had deep connection in kwinya. one guy that knew everybody, who is who in Kwinya
Cookie went back to leave with his mum in lavington.

I thought Ngina was still in Kansas. good if she moved from that God forsaken, middle on nowhere country. Too liberal to be stuck in Red state.

Quite a twisted and hateful character that one was....spent gazillions hours shedding croc tears over kiambaa church then when TNA and URP merged
he was the first one to claim God anointing over dynamic duo, 'ngweeee si uchawi ni maobi ' . May he complete the journey with Uhuru bila mnuguniko small small.
Like Oldun would say Kicheko biggest.
For diaspora pipo out there don't bank your hope on some Kenya politician else you will cry in the toilet.

Njamlik was very one sided as was Omollo and Tinga?? In our interactions on issues, I learned to listen to different views and look at facts without Bias. PapaF was another worthy contributor

Njamlik is such a troll - and he as a way with words - he basically killed RCB - made all of us quit to Nipate.com - and then followed us there - and then made us quit to this little Veritas home. I suspect he might be on his way - although age might be catching up with him.
I remember when I joined RCB circa 2001 ( I was university kid then) - Njamlik was trolling Onyango Oloo. It must have been irriating for OO. He would write pages of verbiage only for Njamlik to summarize them in few words and dismiss it altogether. You got to admit he has his gifts.

All those people who were members of kenyan online are now in their late 50s and most have relocated to go die in Kenya. Oo was the latest death. Others are in us just paying bills or raising grandkids.
What happened to Kirgit? He was from Boston. I last saw him at Wa Wambui funeral. 11 years ago.

I can see your not from from RCBowen.com. Richie from Kericho closed the site. He is comfortable in Kansas

Seriously - RCB was a legend - right there when Moi was PORK - I tried to join in 2000 but Kalenjin hatred (Ruto is taking us right back) by Kenya Plato & company (he was very young then :) - 20yrs old revolutionary) was too much so I sneaked in 2002 - I couldn't write anything because the English OO, Dr Masinde, Dr Mboya & Migunas were throwing from Majuu to kenya was a lit bit heavy...eventually Njamlik routed them all out and we remained with the first generation of the "twitter".
The fallout of Kikuyus and Luos (NARC) in 2003 basically marked the first death of RCB - and then Kinuthia (forgot his name) spinned off Mashada - and RCB became old men thing.
RCB think 1993 to recently when Richard Bowen closed it - he was Mzungu - a missionary kid from Tenweek -I think Riift Valley academy alumni- working in tech (open source stuff).
Look like he decided to write open source books
I've written a number of books, most of them about the Apache Web Server and related technologies.
Right now, I'm working on the next edition of my mod_rewrite book, and the third edition of Apache Cookbook.
Essential Apache HTTP Server (2013)
Apache Cookbook, 2nd Ed (2008)
The Definitive Guide to Apache mod_rewrite (2006)
Apache Administrator's Handbook (2002)
Apache Server Unleashed (2000)
Apache Cookbook, 1st Ed (2005)
Red Hat Unleashed (1998) (Contributing author)
CGI Programming with Perl, Visual Basic, and C (1997) (Volume 4 of the Web Programming and Publishing Resource Kit)
I've also written some poetry, which you can get at Lulu.

I believe most of these folks are in https://www.kenyatalk.com/ (https://www.kenyatalk.com/). I am there too, but rarely post. I have noticed an uptick in activity here the last week or so. I just noticed .com is down. Refugees perhaps?

I agree. I like the laid back relaxing pace. The information content is generally the same or better without the baggage. There is an inverse relationship between quantity of content and its quality.

lol. Pundit is correct. Njamlik...".....he basically killed RCB - made all of us quit to Nipate.com - and then followed us there - and then made us quit to this little Veritas home." We all have to find a way to listen to each other and adjust our vision...things are not what they seem to be.

Quite a twisted and hateful character that one was....spent gazillions hours shedding croc tears over kiambaa church then when TNA and URP merged
he was the first one to claim God anointing over dynamic duo, 'ngweeee si uchawi ni maobi ' . May he complete the journey with Uhuru bila mnuguniko small small.
Like Oldun would say Kicheko biggest.
For diaspora pipo out there don't bank your hope on some Kenya politician else you will cry in the toilet.
Njamlik from Amsterdam, your buddy....where is he now?
Naivasha..he thought he could ride jubilee wave. He has a poultry farm so he is literally selling eggs

There was
Tolstoy ..some Gusii or kuria guy with liberal art degree or PhD
Then the kuria guy called 6%. He had figured he could be rich by trading penny stocks
Bryan ..married a kikuyu woman and was taken to cleaners by the woman. He is still chasing kikuyu women. I am not sure why luhyia has this obsession with kikuyu women

Poor Bryan. Whatever that was left Brexit has already wiped his ass clean.

TRV, my dear TRV, I hope he's well.
I think out of all the netters from nether days.. MM has really made a name for himself. A real influencer these days. Kudos to him, I wish him well.
The first person I witnessed graduating direct from blogging to political leadership is Ngungiri Wambugu MP for Nyeri town. When I started blogging, Ngugiri was ODM damu. Somewhere along the way when RAO did not win, he switched to Jubilee. I was amazed at how his arguments changed overnight. Typical just like RV Pundit. He seemed to be principled then, calling it down the middle but when tested, they retreat to mtu wangu enclaves.
-
Wambugu was a planted spy in ODM camp...kenya politic rich in political treachery.
TRV, my dear TRV, I hope he's well.

Wakwitu he kept with Jones and ended up bankrupt..

Ole was the maa guy ..he is in kwiinya

Pundit lol. 3 Diaspora who have surprised me. John Maina who served as the PM adviser on diaspora affair was a cashier at Walmart in Boston at the time of his appointment. Ledama Ole Kina has never held a Job as far as we recall. This is 1st real Job. He did run an NGO full of 'good lies' about rescuing Masai girls...white millionaires will bankroll that story line. Miguna's appointment was a surprise...we new that soon he'd mess up the PM's ofc.
For diaspora pipo out there don't bank your hope on some Kenya politician else you will cry in the toilet.

That's him....you have an elephant memory..was he based in Texas or Washington? So sad but that's life. Better to try and fail than never try. One life to live..live to the max
Wakwitu he kept with Jones and ended up bankrupt..
-
Good for him especially if you own land or some few properties...cashflow kibao...downside endless ndogo ndogos will mess you up big time....then relathieves and con friends...surviving in kenya is a full time job.

Never knew you were in love with TRV........sure he would be more than happy to jump in the next flight heading to down under from wherever he is to reclaim his Asian beauty beauty. I thought TRV had a crush on 5thglg but then there was a little issue of papa f mwenyewe, hahaha
Gachora is back in Kenya running NIC bank. Tingisa her of kanu fame where did she go?

Your memory and Wa Njambi's are both excellent. Took me on a serious 20 year trip down memory lane.
But who was Patel on RCB? Cannot seem to place the writings with anyone.
From the writings 'tis very easy to pinpoint who KenyanPlato is. Our good buddy Njamba.
RCB was the KING of Kenyan online blogs.
Mashada was for kids, sex pests, new diasporans fresh off the boat and ruffian thugs with no home training. Everybody aged out of it by age 25.
Prior to Mashada some of you may not even remember kenyaniyetu.com, mlevi.com.and safarilady.com, which all crumbled into the dustbins of history in the late 90s and early 2000's. Tulikuwa youngsters then jameni, enjoying Hamellica to the fullest with no scruples.
Jukwee was Double O's private soapbox that he kept thumbs on with an iron fist. Most of his hefty tichitals that he cobbled for hours and hours (especially while in Canada) emerged for forwarding directly from Jukwee. He was quite the character, our friend Double O. Who remembers the spats between him and Mboya wa San Francisco? With Mboya's damning revelations of being solicited by Oloo after their alleged relationship went sour? And the lawsuits that Dubula Dubula (OO) would regularly threaten netters with whenever you opposed any of his views? And the Dunia show..complete with a 5 minute Ndombolo interlude before it kicked off? Whatever happened to Sankie? He must be a McGill Uni graduate by now.
The Nipate's - who were Johnny-Come-Latelys were all about crude tribal politicking beneath paper thin veneer of genteel discussions between Kenyans. If endless politricking was your thing, the Nipates were your solace.
RCB on the other hand was like the bar in Cheers. A haven of comfort you retreated to where everybody knew your online name and accepted you as you were, flaws and all.
Whatever happened to
Mungu Ngai Pan from ATL. This guy was a party animal but would sometimes post depressing storos of Kenyans in the can, yaani the slammer, yaani nguvuni.
Wa kwish somewhere I believe in SC
Masinde EBS PHD XYZ boom twaff! I second those who say the chap was 70 years old back then. Others said he was a truck driver in Arizona. As usual with these online manenos, you just never know.
Cookie was a jambazi, no doubt, a member of the lucky sperm club born into wealth in Kwiinya. But his sense of humour was something else. I highly suspect he was Fidel. If so, RIP.
Njamlik a.k.a. Natty Dread. This guy gets a bad rap but he deserves to be in the Kenyan Online Characters Hall of Fame. He rubbed many the wrong way with his aggressive and sarcastic style. Only a few people knew how to tame him square squaa. Oloo was not one of them. OO's problem was he always wore his ego on his sleeve, but that is now water under the bridge.
Gachora was quite the character on RCB. He was too conservative and technical in his thinking. This is why he is doing so well as an employee of NIC. I saw him planting trees on TV as part of NIC/NCBA's CSR the other day and laughed a bit. He probably doesn't remember the heated debates we had on RCB over the housing market which swept him away from his corporate job like a tsunami when all his technical arguments crumbled like dust during the housing crisis. One of his most interesting arguments that I remember is when he said renting is better than buying a house. MIT graduate still renting yet senior VP. That is when I stopped taking him seriously. Wa Njambi you are right. Diaspora dish wash detritus always end up with big jobs in Kwiinya. Look at Bitange's case. And Jakoyo who was a watchman in DC. And Benji Ndolo, who those with short memories forget swindled ATLien Kenyans like a nonsense selling them subprime mortgages after which his All ABout the Benjamins company went bust. He fled to kwiiinya and the rest is history. He is a serious political pundit giving daily interviews shweeeeh that people actually listen to.
Papa F I am sure is still teaching in Louisiana. How do I know? Professors are very predictible. Study for 30 years, teach for 50 and then die. He had quite the sense of humour this guy.
Sukuma. He was with us on RCB during its glory days then vanished kabisa around 2005 or so. I highly suspect he was Dave Karangu. Whatever happened to him? Still running auto dealerships in ATL?
5thglg Did she not relocate to Mayotte from Paree? Does she still jog swaaaaa 10 miles every morning. If she does then kudos kabisha.
Mla Chake the golfer. Cookie was on this guys case when he once revealed his pics by accident. But he was good peoples.
Mwari Wa Mugo Mil Polo's neighbour in Texas. What is she up to these days?
Dengu Must be retired by now.
Toli The closeted communist. Very interesting character. Some said he had three digiriis from the Ivies but the bottle was his weakness.
Migush By far the most famous RCBr to date and the most colourful to boot. MM is the new OO but with teeth and fangs. Collecting enemies by the bushelful with every loosely thrown word yet acting surprised when he gets no traction anywhere. I sympathise with what happened to him lakini in General he is harmless - pun fully intended.
Mil Polo Got into serious trouble with RCB ladies for posting leggy young nudes of lithe well proportioned models on alaceebee
Zokwe Kazolo Mkia Who remembers the guy. Every sentence was punctuated with simian insults.
Abbyngel I highly suspect these gel these gel these gel I tells ya was Lupita Nyongo. But I stand to be corrected.
Stocko Rest in peace our sista. Gone too soon. RCB was never the same after you left.
Obadiah Haiwesekani The guy in Hollywood in Cali. I heard he died an early death.
Brayo275 wa London I wonder where he is these days?
Ngina Quite an interesting lady also in Texas.
Kiri He also disappeared completely after kedo 2007
And Debra Ntimama? I heard she was a regular there. Her handle I knows not.
The rest I have forgotten. Perhaps others can revive their names. My ageing memory fails me.
Moi left before he recently lefted us
Kibaki took over. Countless wasted political discussions later he too left
Unyee took over. Countless useless political debates later he will leave in 2022
OO lefted us too soon as well. RIP to our RCB broda
What's new on online forums?
Sadly not much.
The wheels of time keep a spinnin'
As Moi was fond of saying.."Masiku zinakwenda na nyinyi mnabhoteza waghati tu"
I saw Man Giddy being handed rungu juzi. Do not be surprised to see him lording over you kwuys in 2027 or therafter.
Expect countless sheaves of internet political discussions of doubtful utility prior to and after then.
If that's your opium, I do not begrudge you.
I miss the old HallaCeeBee
Tusungu twa Tenwek should not have shut down such a useful Kenyan institution.
Who remembers "going submarine?"
Or the ex-Nyayo house torturers duking it out with kina Oloo, with some apologising saying "we were just obeying orders."
Who remembers Kenya Diaspora chairman Frank Mwaniki? Whatever happened to him
Who remembers the people's parliament call in show with Jimmy Gathu when he took questions and comments directly from RCB and Njamba became an overnight star with his "Maney flom Ablod" comment. Those were surely the days.
Msioze huko majuu. Time waits for no man. We will all join the coffin at some point. Do not burden your relas with the extra shipping/flight charges.
Bring back our RCB!

Bring back our RCB!
Shalom.
