SIR SIMEON OLAOSEBIKAN APATA of blessed memory.
25 years of glorious enduring legacy celebrated.
Long may you live still in the hearts of us all that loves you forever. On this very day, January 8, 1995, making it 25 long years ago, a quarter of a century now at that, the sad occurrence happened that took us all by surprise & that has stayed with me now forever occurred. It was on that day, that the dastardly hands of death took you away from us, so very untimely. You were snatched from us all that LOVED & loves you. It was the day the enemies of progress had their field day as you were snatched from us, in such a cruel manner.
Tears still comes from my eyes even till now, when I remember that sad day and how painful your death was. I particularly, still feel your loss a whole lot.
Your care for me and your investment in my life, is the result of who I have become now, like so many others whose lives you also touched too in the same way. A caring and loving disciplinarian unparalleled. The owner of probably the best private school then, with excellence and total well-being as our watchword.
I am having a very sober reflection of you today and a type of a celebration of your life too at the same time. What you invested in many years back, has been yielding extraordinary results seen in many of us that you touched their lives, myself and many others.
So your memories LIVES on in all of us and can never ever be erased, no matter what. We still love you sir. So at the end of the day, what has death gained by taking you away from us? what has it achieved by snatching you away? So sad that you are not physically here with us no more. But we thank God for the opportunity to live your dream of us.
Your good works and excellent nurturing were parts of my inspiration to become the success I am today and I am forever grateful for it.
Wow wow wow, so it’s 25 years already. Hmmmmmmm….. Continue to rest in the bosom of your maker. We will continue to make you Super PROUD. We will not disappoint you, we promise that sir.

Since their exit from the Big Brother house, the both of them have indulged in lots of gig that adds value to their image and at the same time, stir up a bit of controversy.

I however urge their fans to cease making it seem as there is no love lost between @symply_tacha and @official_mercyeke.

I receive messages from men who say they want their wives to look like me or some girls saying they want to look like me. I try to discourage that because you have to accept yourself the way you are. You have to fix yourself on the inside and everything else will follow.”

A middle-aged man, David Kigoma Onguyi has been arraigned in court after verbally abusing a female trader at Maasai Market in Kenya.
The porter-cum-menial worker was charged with creating disturbance in a manner likely to cause breach of peace, after insulting the woman identified simply as Nyaboke at the market where she runs a Maasai curio shop on January 5, 2020.
The heated exchange ensued after the suspect who took a customer to Nyaboke’s shop on December 19 where she bought goods worth Ksh500, refused giving her the money but promised to settle the debt “later in the day”.
All attempts for Onguyi to give Nyaboke the money was futile, leading to claims of the trader’s private part stinking at the market where other traders and customers watched in disbelief.
Onguyi who allegedly threatened to beat up Nyaboke, reportedly told her;
“You are dirty just like your vagina, and I know that you do not wear underwear. And, even if you have worn one today, I am sure it is torn. And again, remember to use tissue paper to wipe yourself clean after answering the short call of nature”
The suspect who was released on a Ksh10, 000 cash bail after being arraigned before Senior Resident Magistrate Mothoni Nzibe, denied the charges following his arrest after the incident was reported at KICC Police Station.
