Wakuu music band is a group of three talented young hip hop artist from Kibera and Dandora in Nairobi.

The group was started by one of their member who goes by the name Zack alias Lil King, he fast started it as a gospel band but later they turned to secular music. These rappers are well know for rapping faster something that most hip hop artist are not gifted with.

The band have done various tracks that has rocked most of the local media stations in Kenya. This includes their hit "Vita Tuu" a diss track directed to the famous Kenyan rapper Khaligraph Jones rapper. The track was an a mazing song with lots of punchline in it escorted with a great video produced by ondivow photography containing well choreographed mad fight scenes and different street scenes.

Currently the group is working on a thriller titled Armageddon that it's pictures are trending on social media with most of their funs giving them pressure asking when is the release date.

They composed the song with the intension to reply to Khaligraph who had earlier replied the previous dis-track   with a video that he was rising from a coffin this was a big shock to most of the people watching the video including them and so they had to back to the drawing board and come up with something different.

DRUGS SLAVERY.

SAY NO TO DRUGS BUT YES TO A BETTER HEALTH.

I was born and raised in the largest slum Kibera where peer influence is a major problem among teens. It was very difficult for me to  skive this temptation since my friends nicknamed me a coward. so I join them to prove that I was not.

Many of us start using drugs because we wan't to prove something to someone or to the society i.e some use drugs because they want to seduce a woman, others because they think it is a solution to their stress either from home school , work or at home, others because they don't wan to be left out. But the truth is, your problems will never be solved when you are high on substance.

What is drugs slavery? Drugs slavery is a point in life when drug users leave drugs to control their brain. Your brain is like a control tower, it sends out signals that direct actions and choices, so when you take drugs, the chemical signals in your brain change and it affects your choices your actions and even the way you feel.

why are drugs so heard to quit?  Normally the brain  pleasure centers are active when you eat, you are in love or experience something else you enjoy like drugs and after a while the drugs become more important  it happens when you are enslaved by it. 

Quitting drugs is hard but it can be done, my question is, what are the government and non-government that deals with the control of  drugs and substance usage do? does it means that they are not doing their job or are those wrong people at the right place?

(You will look back at where you came from and wish to go back because those you left there  will have moved so fur.)

 The numbers of drug use among the youth is increasing day by day.  We are loosing our future generation, the generation that should be there to build this great Nation something is wrong somewhere and it needs to be solved immediately before it's too late.

(Whatever you do, do it privately because the little ones are too fast to copy)

It is said that marijuana and 'Changa' (local liquor)are illegal substances according to the Kenyan constitution yet they are among the most  readily available and openly abused substances across the slum and rural areas. This is like a symbol it reminds me of our old ancestors who sold our brothers to the Europeans because of greed to satisfy their needs.

When you take a drug you feel a 'rush' or a 'high' but over time the high is not as strong and they need the drug to keep from feeling bad and that's a symbol of "Drug Slavery"

When you are a "slave" to drugs they will mislead you to start  fighting your family,steal from people,defile,drive when you are drunk just to mention but a few.

"Drug Slavery" is a brain disease it controls you feel a strong urge to keep taking a drug even if it is causing you harm.

(You will cry for help but no one will be there to pull you out of that den.)

Ever hear someone with a drug problem talk about quitting? and they try to quit alone with no help,they tell their friends they have given up forever. It usually doesn't work because eventually they slip and start using it again.

(You will be locked up in that dark room with no one to talk to but only the beast in you)

This is my message to the youth. The road you have chosen or thinking to choose is a road that most of them who chose it earlier are wishing to change because they have seen the direction it is leading them to. So;

• SAY NO! TO DRUGS.
• Lets make wise decisions to abandon drugs and care about our health.
• Lets be productive as youths and be creative to build this great Nation.
• Ganja itakufanya ukae njaa na pombe itakufanya uombe

 (You can lie to the world but can't lie self, so hiding as you use the drugs won't help because it will be finally known.)

Quitting drugs is hard but it can be done so better don't start if haven't and were planning to.

 SAY NO TO DRUGS AND YES TO TO GOOD HEALTH.

THE INVISIBLE CRIME.

"We are all slaves to someone or something in this world"

~Ondivow Photography~

Imagine of a world without casual workers, you wake up one morning rush to your shoe shiner and find him not there, walk down to a cafeteria for breakfast and realize that there is no one to serve you, so you decide to go to work hungry. Because the previous night your car had a puncture, so you decide to go and board a public transport, on reaching the bus stop you realize that all drivers went on strike, with no option left decide to go on foot. Another incident, your office gate is open and the gate keeper is not there and non of your workers is around too, immediately a text message from the ministry of labor comes to your phone indicating that all casual workers will be on strike for the next six months, what will you do?  That is when you will realize that you are nothing without these characters around you.

 It is sad to say that most people living in the urban slum and rural areas are slaves to their employers without them knowing."

You are whipped or abuse in anyway because you accidentally broke a work equipment and you don't complain or report  then you are being slaved.

Medical attention. Subject to subsection (2) every employer shall ensure the provision for his employees of proper medicines during illness and (if procurable) medical attendance during serious illness, and shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that the illness is brought to his notice as soon as reasonably practicable after the first occurrence thereof.

 Crossing rivers for your employers and yet they can't cross a bridge for you should not be supported at all time.

 Most casual workers work overtime without complaining for a compensation for the extra working time.In accordance with the Employment Act 2007, employer may set working hours in such a way that the worker gets a day off in a week. An employer is required to pay at least 150% of the wage if overtime work is performed during normal working hours. Overtime payment for the workers that are not employed on hourly basis, is calculated on the basis of the basic hourly rate of at least one two-hundred-and twenty-fifth of the employee’s basic minimum monthly wage.

                You should know your value as a worker and you will earn from it massively.

       It is your right to raise any complain when you feel that you are being enslaved at your work place.

 You are paid peanut salary yet you are making millions of shillings for you employer and they don't endorse you then you are a slave.

This fear always comes when you don't want to loose your job, you are thinking about your family how they will eat , go to school how you will pay your rent and many more needs.
I always say that when you lay a good foundation in your career or whatever job specialization you are doing then your bosses will always pay some little respect to you.
  

 Respect all workers because they are human beings too, they need to rest and food to eat, never over work them if you need them to work for long and do a proper job for you.

And according to Kenyan constitution,every employee shall be entitled to at least one rest day in every period of seven days.

 The Constitution of Kenya prohibits forced labour. The Act prohibits all forms of forced or compulsory labour. A person who contravenes the provisions of this section commits an offence and shall, on conviction be liable to a fine of at least 500,000 shillings or to imprisonment for a term of at least two years or both.

 Never allow them to take advantage of your background, either when you came from poor or disabled  family.

                        You should know the difference between being a loyal and a slave worker.

Every captive is a person; every survivor has a story. It's time to show the world that slaves exist among us. Restaurants and fields, construction sites and brothels, suburbs and cities: all are home to victims of trafficking in Kenya and abroad. Twenty-seven million slaves in the world, and we want to find them.

Never show your employer that you are desperate for whatever job they are offering you, or even show them that you are at their disposal. Because when you do that I guarantee you they will take advantage of your kindness for weakness and will always joyride on you.

TIN LAMP FOR LIGHT AND SLAPS

TIN LAMP FOR LIGHT AND SLAPS

One of the things that made mummy, dad and my elderly siblings whip me was this little lamp in the house, I always wished it was never bought and brought in that house. In my tribe Luo, we call it "Nyangile or Othung'a gi nyiero" meaning choked with laughter, the main reason why I was being whipped. My  dad one of the funniest guys in our house could crack a joke and when I opened my big mouth to laugh it killed the lamp and everyone could stay in the dark meanwhile I could get knocks on my head from people I couldn't see followed by an angry voice commanding me to find out how the lamp could be lit again.Unfortunately it always happened that whenever this incident could occur  it could occur there was no matches in the house and so I could be  asked to go and light it up in my neighbors house, this was another big challenge as strong wind blowing at night  could kill it over and over again until when mum could come for my help at last. This was an experience that most of the 80's and 90's kids from the slum and rural areas faced.
