Shocking: Identical Twins, Different Fathers

I have always known these two gorgeous identical Kamba twins and I have always told them that I am certain that they had different fathers because they are so very different in mannerisms, character and other DNA issues I will not go into here.

Until now (when I did the research for this article) I was sure that it was impossible for identical twins to have different fathers. Well, science tells me that it is NOT only possible but more common than most people think.

Shockingly, one study estimates that as many as 1 in 400 sets of fraternal twins is "bipaternal" (born from sperm from two different individuals.)

How is it possible? Simple: Two eggs from the same mother get fertilized by two different fathers – within the same ovulation period.

Well let's start with the example of animals. Female dogs ovulate multiple eggs and when a dog is in heat, any male dog in the vicinity will attempt to mount her, so each egg could be fertilized by a different father, producing a litter of puppies that don't resemble each other in the slightest.

Humans aren't dogs, of course, and most of the time, women ovulate only one healthy egg per cycle. Fraternal twins occur when women ovulate two healthy eggs and both get fertilized. And every now and then, "superfecundation" happens: Two eggs are ovulated during the same cycle and fertilized at different points within the five-day fertility window, resulting in a bouncing pair of twins.

When we see twins, we may assume that both eggs were fertilized during a single act of intercourse. But it's quite possible for one egg to be fertilized during one act of intercourse, and the other during another. For example, consider a couple that has a morning quickie, followed by a more leisurely round that evening.


It's therefore only logical, then, that when a woman has sex with more than one man while she's fertile, "heteropaternal superfecundation" can occur. That is, each egg can be fertilized by a different father.

Shocking to say the least knowing the habits of the modern woman.

Alfred Mutua Steps On Dangerous Ukambani Snakes

Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua
 
The dry lands of Ukambani boast of some of the deadliest snakes in Kenya. Some of these vipers have the kind of venom that can kill in minutes. It now appears that maverick governor Alfred Mutua has stepped on too many of these snakes to remain unscathed.

Sadly the history of Ukambani politics clearly shows that "venomous snakes" are not limited to the scrubs of this poverty stricken county. There are even deadlier vipers on the treacherous political landscape which have claimed many promising political lives over the years. Indeed they have now gotten to Kenya's star governor and there appears to be rapidly mounting dissent against him from he very people who voted for him.

It would seem that the consistent well-financed campaign by his arch rival Senator Johnstone Muthama has finally turned the tide against Mutua. It has not helped that corruption allegations pointed out by Muthama sympathizers to the anti corruption body have put Mutua on the list of those being urged to step aside.

All this coupled with the fact that the governor has gained a reputation for not paying county workers for months on end has dramatically altered the politics on the ground. You will now hear folks saying with increasing frequency that despite what Mutua has done the county needs a new governor.

This latest development would hardly surprise a keen observer of the bizarre Ukambani people and their damaging crab mentality.

What is this crab mentality in the Wakamba people?

If you have caught crabs then you know that once you have caught at least two then you needn’t worry about them escaping. This is because they will always prevent each other from getting out first.

Wikipedia puts it thus;

“Crab mentality, sometimes referred to as crabs in the bucket, describes a way of thinking best described by the phrase "if I can't have it, neither should you." The metaphor refers to a pot of crabs. Singly, the crabs could easily escape from the pot, but instead, they grab at each other in a useless "king of the hill" competition which prevents any from escaping and ensures their collective demise. The analogy in human behavior is that of a group that will attempt to "pull down" (negate or diminish the importance of) any member who achieves success beyond the others, out of jealousy or competitive feelings.

This term is broadly associated with short-sighted, non-constructive thinking rather than a unified, long-term, constructive mentality. It is also often used colloquially in reference to individuals or communities attempting to "escape" a so-called "underprivileged life", but kept from doing so by others attempting to ride upon their coat-tails or those who simply resent their success…”

Historically Kamba leaders have always been extremely jealous of each other and have gone to great lengths to finish each other, using all kinds of ploys and even witchcraft. Any half intelligent observer would wonder why the community has never realized that supporting each other would be much more beneficial to all.

Paul Ngei a prominent politician from Ukambani in his day was arch rivals with Mulu Mutisya another prominent politician in the area at around the same time. The differences between the two got so serious that they physically fought on several occasions.

Today the rivalry between Charity Ngilu and Kalonzo Musyoka is legendary and all efforts to unite the two have come to naught. Interestingly both were in the YES camp in the referendum for the new constitution and yet clearly the two were extremely uncomfortable in each others company during the major rallies and meetings where they had to share the same platform. I am willing to bet you any amount that the two never ever shared a seat close to each other during cabinet meetings.

This inexplicable rivalry and crab mentality spreads well beyond politics into the business world. Indeed this is one of the reasons why Machakos town (the first inland capital of the British protectorate that became Kenya and many decades older than Nairobi) has remained very much behind in development until one Alfred Mutua came along. Kambas would rather an outsider comes into the city and prospers in business rather than one of their own. Immediately somebody rises they will rush to a witchdoctor to slow down, frustrate or even eliminate them.

Where did this evil crab in Machakos come from? The house of Mumbi always support each other, see how far they have gone. Luos will travel many miles to support a fellow Luo's business. But the poverty stricken crab mentality Kambas are busy shooting down governor Mutua when he is being celebrated countrywide and worldwide. Their small crab brains are telling them; "I have been around for so long where did this young man with big ideas come from? I cannot allow him to succeed just like that."

And as usual you can be sure witchdoctors have been visited and instructed to "finish" or at the very least "slow down" Mutua.

This is the sad story of this cursed forsaken crab county. And it seems that despite his efforts and remarkable achievements Gov. Mutua will not be any exception when it comes to being a victim of this deadly poisonous snake.

It is also true that the Wakamba love drama and theatrics. You can easily detect it in the way they express themselves even in English or Kiswahili. The big turn on now seems to be witnessing the fall of a giant governor. Never mind the consequences to the people. The drama is much more important.

Is Raila Right About Withdrawing KDF From Somalia?

Being extremely familiar with the Somali situation since the 1960s (and even earlier) I often laugh rather bitterly at the naïve comments and ideas flying all over the place about ending the al Shabaab menace.

Sadly the vast majority of Kenyans are sure that if KDF withdraws from Somalia terrorist attacks in Kenya will stop PAP!! Reminds me of the poor female university students who were told by the same terrorists that if they came out of hiding they would not be killed because the terrorists' religion did not allow for the killing of women and children.

Even before I give you the information I am about to give you consider one simple fact. al Shabaab is a group that has extremely close links to Al Qaeda. That means that as long as Kenya continues to host major American and Israeli interests it will continue to be a target. Even if we withdraw from Somalia.

Secondly withdrawing from Somalia will release much more financing to the currently cash-strapped al Shabaab allowing them to launch bigger and more frequent attacks against Kenya.

While you chew on that let me tell you a true story.

Mutunga (his real name) was a police constable and driver to a senior high ranking policeman in Isiolo. The year was 1967 and the Shifta war (which was mostly a guerilla war) was ongoing.

Mutunga was driving his superior one lovely sunny afternoon when suddenly without any warning the police Landrover they were in was lifted high in the air. They had hit a landmine. When the vehicle landed on the ground again with a thud Mutunga’s boss was badly injured with a suspected punctured lung. Mutunga himself was much worse off. Being at the front of the Landrover he had taken the full brunt of the mine. All the bones in his leg had been shattered and were almost powder. He was obviously in great pain.

Frantic efforts were made to radio Nairobi for an aircraft to airlift him for urgent medical attention in the city. The police officer running the operation (and my informant for this article) got Mutunga’s boss to a hospital in Meru where the doctors grimly said that had he arrived moments later he would have almost certainly died because his lungs had stuck together after the explosion meaning that as he breathed there was no movement in his lungs. The police officer breathed a sigh of relief at the fact that one officer had been saved even as he battled to save Mutunga’s life.

He finally convinced a “mzungu” pilot to land his small aircraft in the Isiolo airstrip after running police lorries across it several times up to the moment the aircraft started it’s final approach to ensure that there were no mines.

My source says that he will not forget that moment in the aircraft when he bid Mutunga goodbye giving him a bottle of water to sip (thirst is a sign of enormous internal bleeding). The brave semi-illiterate policeman was still answering “Yes sir” as loudly as he could even as he lay there dying with his badly broken body. Radio contact was maintained as the aircraft flew back to Nairobi with its’ sole passenger. A humble police officer who had never been on an aircraft before. In those days aircrafts could not land at Wilson Airport at night because there was no electricity there yet. Jomo Kenyatta International Airport was still decades away from being constructed. So as the aircraft approached Embakasi International Airport the pilot heard some strange noise at the back of his aircraft. He did not need to look back to know that Mutunga had died minutes away from medical attention. The information was radioed back to Isiolo and the sad news was passed on to his colleagues. The Shifta war had claimed the precious life of yet another Kenyan.

Opinion is divided as to how that war finally petered off. Some say that President Jomo Kenyatta got the help of Tanzania president Mwalimu Julius Nyerere who acted as a go-between and talked to the then Somali president Siad Barre of Somalia to “cool off.” Others say that the war just run out of steam as other priorities emerged for Somalis.

Whatever happened then, the time has now come for Kenyans to face the naked truth, no matter how unpalatable it is. What I am saying is that Somali extremists have always had what appears to them a good enough reason to be at war with Kenya.

One last parting story.

I personally witnessed a Somali national being refused entry into Tanzania at the Namanga border about 2 years ago. His papers were in order but immigration officials exercised their prerogative to deny entry.

Contrast that to Nairobi’s response. When a Kenyan immigration officer sees a Somali, they see money and a fat bribe. Tanzanian immigration officers are also corrupt but they know the sharp distinction between corruption that endangers national security and corruption that does not. Again former President Moi’s reason for allowing the influx of Somalis into the country was because the foreign exchange they brought in kept the country going at a difficult time. President Kibaki had a chance to tackle the problem but his response like in everything else was inconsistent, disjointed, indecisive and devoid of any long term strategy. During Kibaki’s tenure, flights out of Wilson Airport to Somalia were grounded at least twice for short periods of time. The border with Somalia was also closed once only to be reopened. Army patrols on the same stretch of our porous borders started way too late and have never been consistent.

Yet even a primary school child would have seen a long time ago that Somalis are a serious threat to our national security. For instance all the guns used in crime and murder in the country (save the ones belonging to policemen) come in from Somalia. You can be sure that political assassins are bound to use the same hardware. The taxman also gets deprived of billions of shillings in taxes by the Somalis in Eastleigh. Before President Uhuru's much criticized clampdown on Eastleigh people had started importing stuff from Dubai and receiving it at Eastleigh. Yep Eastleigh had become an increasingly large inland port in Kenya.

The bottom line is that now it is way too late to do much about the Somalia issue except recognize it for what it really is; a war that we must face squarely and fight with all our might to win at all costs.

Garissa University Attack: How Female Students Were Tricked By Al Shabaab Terrorists

Female students were tricked by al Shabaab militants in a rather wicked and brutal way, according to one eye witness who saw the whole horror play out right in front of his eyes.

When the shooting started female students hurriedly took refuge in their women's hall, under bed and in cupboards. One of the terrorists shouted out to them to come out from hiding if they wanted to live.

"Or you can call you fathers to save you," they taunted.

He quickly added that according to their Islam religion they were not allowed to harm women. And so it was perfectly safe for them to come out of hiding. This was quite believable because during the Mpeketoni attack by al Shabaab only men were targeted while women and children were spared.

The female students all crowded into their women's hall at Garissa University also believed it and emerged from hiding. Many of them came down the stairs to where the militants were waiting. Some of them were scantily dressed. The brutal terrorists waited patiently until they were all gathered together and then opened fire spraying bullets several times into the crowd and killing a vast majority of the innocent female students.

This is one of the reasons why the majority of the dead students were female.

It seems that the militants have different rules for different attacks because during the Westgate siege they killed women and children some of whom were Muslims.

After a recent post in this blog, things have happened very fast. The heroic Recce company now has transportation that will get them to emergencies much quicker. We are not talking about one BUT two helicopters.

This is what I said in an earlier post;

Many have criticized the fact that they (Recce) arrived by road when many other less critical government officials had been flown in and arrived hours earlier. It is clear that the government now needs to work on Recce transportation to emergencies. A state of the art helicopter would be ideal. Or at the very least something close.

The decision to have the two coppers stationed at the elite security unit's base in Ruiru was made on Saturday in a meeting at State House that was attended by security chiefs and the President.

Apparently the crack unit was ready and waiting as early as moments after the attack started and were waiting for further orders even as the terrorists rained terror on defenseless students.

All in all although the police had been alerted of the attack as early as 6am, it took them almost 12 hours to finally contain the situation which only happen less than 15 minutes after the Recce boys arrived in Garissa. Read more details about this story.

Garissa University Attack: Kenyan Lawyer Was One Of The Terrorists

Brutal Kenyan lawyer/terrorist who may have used his university background to easily scout Garissa campus. How does a budding brilliant lawyer with such a bright future beckoning get radicalized?


End of the road for Mohammed Abdirahim Abdullahi. Many of those who knew him recognized him immediately from this photo

Kenyans are numb with shock at the revelation that one of the ruthless Garissa University al Shabaab attackers was a Kenyan lawyer. And it gets worse, his father is a government chief in Mandera.

The name of the terrorist lawyer is Mohammed Abdirahim Abdullahi, who was the son of Abdullahi Daqare, the current chief of Bulla Jamhuri location in Mandera County. Abdullahi graduated in 2013.

The shocking news has helped fit a few more pieces into the Garissa University jigsaw puzzle. For instance eyewitnesses repeatedly said that the attackers seemed to know the university very intimately. For instance when the attack started they went straight to the hall where the University Christian Union members were praying and massacred everybody there for early morning prayers and worship.

Those familiar with the culture at universities in Kenya will tell you that entering any university as an outsider to scout around is not easy. Students are always quick to notice “aliens” and can sometimes get pretty hostile. Which would mean that for a typical Somali radical from Somalia it would have been extremely difficult to scout the camps in readiness for the attack. An interesting aside here is that in the oppressive Moi days intelligence officers found it so difficult to nose around at the University of Nairobi that they ultimately ended up planting full time “students” and using informers but even these were quickly identified by students.

However for Abdirahim, a former University of Nairobi student, it would have been a piece of cake walking into Garissa University and getting all the information he needed. The end result was that the militants knew exactly what to do and where to attack for maximum casualties.
 

There were also some armed administration policemen on campus who had been placed there a week before the attack after intelligence reports revealed that an attack on a major university establishment was imminent. A harmless former university student who was a budding brilliant lawyer would have had no problem at all getting to know their exact location and patrol patterns.

The sad story of Mohammed Abdirahim Abdullahi is instructive to all Kenyans that even an innocent face can be a ruthlessly brutal terrorist capable of killing innocent young students in cold blood. The terrorists not only lined up and shot the students, there were also bodies that had missing heads.

Nicknamed Ababmo by his classmates at the Law Faculty in Nairobi’s Parklands Campus, he is said to have been a sharp dresser, tending to favour tailored suits and loved to shoot pool with his friends. He had a room on campus but he rarely stayed there, preferring to operate out of Eastleigh, where he was said to run a business selling cooking gas. Eastleigh is very close to Parklands.

Abdirahim went missing from his Mandera home about a year ago and it became common knowledge that he had joined the Somali militant group al Shabaab. Others suspected he may have travelled to Syria to join the dreaded ISIS terror group.


His twits reveal a regular student using regular language common amongst his peers like in one twit he said; “So how does this sh*t work?? Nt even a clue! A rather apt description of the young lawyer turned terrorist wouldn't you say.

Why Crack Unit Ended Garissa University Siege In Less Than 15 Minutes

The crack GSU Recce company arrive at a recent scene of trouble. The easiest way to identify them is from the pistol holsters they wear on their thighs.

When the whole Garissa University attack story is told, it will not be complete without a mention of the crack unit that arrived very late but managed to end the siege in less than 15 minutes flat.

We have to be careful here not to tell the enemy too much so you will excuse me if I am economical with all the facts I always dig out that you guys come to this blog looking for.

I am of course talking about the GSU Recce company. Firstly it is interesting that the GSU has always been one of the best trained security units in the country. Few Kenyans know this because they have always had the perfect carmoflouge, everybody knows that the GSU specialize in dealing with riots, hence the nick name fanya fujo uone (cause trouble and suffer the consequences). Few know that the unit was really founded as an elite Presidential protection unit capable of protecting the tenant of State house even from an assault by soldiers in the event of a coup.

Several sources on the ground say that  before Recce arrived the terrorists had managed to contain and keep at bay all the security forces on the scene trying to flash them out, including the army. One of the reasons for this is because the al Shabaab militia had taken position on the roof of the building and had at least one crack shot sniper. The small group of Recce officers arrived and everything changed.

There is a side to this story that may never be told for security reasons. However a retired security expert talking to this blogger pointed out the fact that one of the dead terrorists' photograph shows a deep wound at the back of the head. Which would suggest that one of the recce snipers may have quickly found a place high enough to take a shot that hit the back of that al Shabaab militant's head. These are the kind of tactics that would have caused the siege to end so quickly after the crack unit arrived.

Hardly surprising because unlike anybody on the scene the Recce unit are highly and specially training to deal with situations just like the Garissa one. Many have criticized the fact that they arrived by road when many other less critical government officials had been flown in and arrived hours earlier. It is clear that the government now needs to work on Recce transportation to emergencies. A state of the art helicopter would be ideal. Or at the very least something close.

The GSU Recce Company is made up of elite soldiers who are highly trained within Kenya and abroad in highly regarded military training facilities in countries such as United Kingdom, America and Israel. The Recce company is a specially trained unit of commandos which can be said to be in the same league as the British SAS, America's Delta Force, France's EPIGN and the Israel's Sayaret Matkal.

The main crucial function of GSU's Recce Unit is to provide support to the other field companies of the General Service Unit. Apart from reinforcing the other companies of the GSU, it is also sent to perform security operations that require the highest level of attention. This battle hardened force is also capable of being deployed in the event of war.

Horrifying Details Of Garissa University Attack Emerge

Details continue to emerge about exactly how al Shabaab terrorists massacred innocent defenseless students at Garissa University in the early hours of Thursday morning.

The first explosion at the main entrance which is believed to have been a grenade had the predictable response of students rushing out of buildings to see what was happening and hopefully get to safety. The gunmen positioned themselves strategically outside the entrances and mowed down dozens of students who came running out.

But the merciless terrorists were even more devious than that. They shouted out to students that if they came out of hiding they would live but if they remained hidden in the building they would surely die. Many believed them and ventured out only to die in a hail of bullets.

Other eyewitnesses recounted how the terrorists asked their victims to lie face down in a long continuous line and then shot them one by one at the back of the head. This is something that has also been reported from numerous earlier attacks. The militants also taunted the students and answered cell phones from anxious relatives shouting into them "we are killing them now." Read more details in this Daily Nation report.

As usual the terrorists separated Muslims from Christians and promptly killed the latter. There has been a spirited and consistent effort from al Shabaab to trigger animosity between Christians and Muslims in the country and recreate the Nigerian situation here. Mercifully they have failed miserably in this.

According to some eye witnesses there were more than 5 attackers with some claiming that they counted 7. Interestingly one of the militants seems to have been an expert sniper and shot at several advancing KDF soldiers thus slowing down the rescue effort considerably.

Garissa Attack And The Man Of The Moment, Joseph Nkaissery

If there is somebody who has fitted into their job the way a glove would fit to a hand then it has to be one Joseph Nkaissery (pictured), Interior Cabinet Secretary. Watching him field questions during the Garissa terrorist siege was reassuring for many Kenyans. You could see calm control and confidence.

It is said that when things go right and you decide to write about it, it makes for boring journalism. Folks prefer bad news and constant criticism. They make for much better headlines.

Watching Nkaissery operate under pressure it becomes very clear what the Jubilee government was missing in this docket. A link between the security arm of government and the political side. Big shoes that can only be fitted by somebody whom the military top brass can respect. The current CS is just one such person being "senior" to all the top soldiers currently serving.

Nkaissery was previously in the Kenya Defence Forces, rising to the rank of major-general in the Kenya Army. He also served as a commandant of the Armed Forces Training College. He retired in December 2002 after 29 years of military service. Interestingly it was during his tenure as Assistant Minister in the Ministry of Defence under Kibaki that Kenya Defence Forces invaded Somalia and the 2011 Operation Linda Nchi  launched.

Recent security decisions made by the cabinet secretary have been spot on. Sections of the press have tried to pin the Garissa University incident to his office claiming that not enough was done to act on intelligence reports that indicated the campus could be attacked. That is a very naïve way of analyzing things. Dozens of intelligence reports are received and it is impossible to act on all of them. However to Nkaissery's credit he responded to this one by arranging for armed Administration policemen to guard the university around the clock. This was in place in the week leading to the attack. This move had an impact, albeit a small one because the terrorist met resistance right from the entrance and mercifully one of the APs survived and is currently hospitalized at Kenyatta National Hospital.

If there is anybody who has a fighting chance of sorting out insecurity then that man has to be Nkaissery. Keep up the good work waziri.
