Barack Obama intends to run for Kenya Presidential Seat in 2021

Son of a Kenyan senior governmental economist, Barack Hussein Obama Sr., the politician who served as the 44th President of the United States from 2009 to 2017 is actually touring Africa to give a series of conferences.

While visiting the Kenyan port city of Mombasa, he was greeted by a large and extremely enthusiastic crowd, loudly cheering and chanting his name.

Mr. Obama drew an almost ecstatic roar from the crowd when he made the announcement that he was returning to politics.

“I’m a bit disgusted with American politics recently while seeing Kenya struggle. I realized I needed to do something to help my Homeland".


The former U.S. President believes he can help the country overcome its social and economic problems as he did with the U.S.

“I was able to solve the U.S.' worse economic crisis in its history and put it on the right track until they elected a narcissistic reality tv star. I can certainly help Kenya".

Mr. Obama announced that he was launching his own political party, the National Democratic Party of Kenya (NDP) and confirmed he was considering negotiations with existing parties to form a coalition.



Obama was met with the same kind of enthusiastic reaction yesterday in the country’s capital, Nairobi.

Kenya is still struggling with social instability, poverty issues, government corruption, and an important water crisis even if it has recently known a few years of economic growth.

Although its economy enjoys the leading position in eastern and central Africa, 39.9% of its population lives below the poverty line, according to the Oxford Poverty & Human Development Initiative.

To make things worse, the country has been struggling with several economic problems recently, the most recent of which is a huge swarm of locust that destroyed swathes of maize, coffee, vegetable, and tea plantations, threatening the country’s food security.

Several experts believe the former American President’s chances of getting elected are extremely good.

Many analysts also note that the actual government will certainly hesitate to forbid his candidacy or trick the election if it takes place under international scrutiny.


The next Presidential election in Kenya is set for October 2021 and candidates have until April 2021 to confirm their candidacy

By Anonymous
LiveSpot X Festival: Shatta Wale, Sarkodie, Tiwa Savage, others fail to perform Some Ghanaian and Nigerian artistes never performed on Sunday as advertised by organisers of the Livespot X Festival. The concert on December 8 had America-based rapper, Cardi B, as headline artiste. Supporting acts billed included Sarkodie, Shatta Wale, Patoranking, Tiwa Savage and a host of others. All the supporting acts were to perform before Cardi B finally climaxes the festival. However, the concert was marred by several technical hitches thus preventing Ghanaian artistes to mount the stage at their appointed times. While fans waited for close to an hour after the performance of Nigerian singer Sheyi Shay, Cardi B suddenly appeared on stage. Shatta Wale, Sarkodie, Patoranking, Tiwa Savage hadn’t performed before Cardi B was introduced. It is reported that Sarkodie and Shatta Wale refused to perform because organisers failed to go according to the plan.  Tiwa Savage and Pator...

FILM VILLAGE? UNNECESSARY, CREATE AN ONLINE PORTAL INSTEAD - ACTOR KWEKU ELLIOTT.

By Anonymous
  ANSWERS THAT CAN MAKE A LOT OF DIFFERENCE IN THE MOVIE INDUSTRY. There has been a lot of back and forth just as The Ministry of Arts and Culture announced their intention to build a film village for the movie sector.       Siting the Film Village was a bigger issue. Not that there was no space to carry out the project rather, the issue, whether it should be built in Eastern Region or Kumasi. This sparked a lot of argument between the Kumawood and the Ministry since they were of the view that Kumasi is where movie is produced more and not Eastern Region. Others were also of the view that Mr. Mark Okraku Mantey being the President of the Creative Arts wanted it built in his region. A region that is not recognized for movie making. Industry players added their voices and a lot more of issues. Eventually preventing it from happening. Just as we thought this is over, Movie Actor Kweku Elliott has added his voice generating another controversy though, he made sa...

By Anonymous
The Electoral Commission has justified their reasons for the compilation of a new voters’ register before the Council of State. The EC Chairperson, Jean Mensa, took time to explain to them the technical challenges facing the old voter register as well as the high cost of maintaining it as compared to acquiring a new one. She told the Council that the new system would be “a robust, user-friendly, cheaper and state of the art that will assist in the delivery of free, fair and credible elections in the country.” The Information Technology Consultant of the EC, Dr Yaw Ofori Agyei, took members of the Council through an in-depth lecture justifying the reasons for the acquisition.
