Empowering the girl child is a waste of time

Women have this notion that in the postmodern world, they should have it all, but men should still foot the bills, and all they should do is probably pop out a baby!

One of the attractions of Nairobi at night is seeing street children dancing on the streets to the music from the more than 10,000 nightclubs along Moi Avenue. Those kids can really dance.

A fortnight ago, I accompanied a friend on a Wednesday night out. We sat at the balcony of one of the clubs on Moi Avenue and enjoyed watching the kids dance like there was no tomorrow. Then out of nowhere, this young girl, probably 24, joined the kids.
