Nation Media Group (NMG) employees to lose their 'Daily Bread'

The NMG will fire some of its employees in a plan aimed at transiting the company to a "modern 21st  digital content company", with the plan set to take effect on 30th June 2016.
The media house seeks to close down Nation FM, QTV and Rwandan KFM   and run NTV as its only multi-lingual station

"Regrettably this will result in a reduction of our workforce through job redundancies," Nation said, noting the changes are effective June 30.
The media house also aims at maintaining online presence in order to reach global audience and keep pace with the growing technology in compliance with  its digital strategy. 
"We will strive to provide all the necessary support to help them manage through this transition."
Following the recent upturn in technology, much of it providing platforms for social media, there has been a tremendous shift from uni-directional flow of content in which the traditional press is based on, to multi-directional flow of content. The latter is a distinct characteristic of a networked society whereby any body can create, manipulate and distribute information at any time from anywhere.
The rise of social media; facebook, twitter, blogs, myspace, flinkr, content sites; YouTube; virtual worlds and mailing technology has revolutionize the Media industry. They can now reach global audience, crowd-source in case of a very sensitive topical issue and even get direct feedback from audience.
Nation Media Group seems to take a new turn too by ensuring online presence and lessening its traditional content. in this new move, people will have to lose their daily Bread to pave way for the online involvement.

The Ngabunat Caves

Beautiful scenery of Ngabunat caves                 A section of Ngabunat waterfalls

 Little is known and has been written about The Ngabunat caves. But if the residents of Nandi County talks about it, you will  surely be amazed at the special roles it played and still plays being at the heart of the county's tourism industry.
 Nandi County is a well known tourism potential hub that has not been unleashed . The county which is rich in many tourist attraction sites have lost  millions of money due to poor policies by the former leadership in the county.

The county has various tourist attraction sites ranging from the famous Kingwal swamp which is the habitat of the rare species of antelopes called sitatunga, Nandi rock which iis in the border of Nandi county and kisumu county,Keben springs, Kiplolok waters, Chepkiit water falls,tabolwa rock, Koitalel somoei mausoleum and Bonjoge national reserve & Ngabunat caves.

 Located in Kapchorua ward, Ngabunat Caves has attracted lots of local tourists from within and outside the region. its serine  environment makes the place perfect for excursion. It has a waterfall that adds to the site's aesthetics with baboons  and other wildlife hovering around. I bet, one visit to the place can make you appreciate the county and its environs. The county government is making efforts to improve the sitealthough it is still at its infancy stages. 

However, the issue of tourism in Nandi will bring a lot of revenue and income to the county if the county government will seriously work on it.

Nigeria 2013 Afcon winning and 2014 World Cup coach and iconic former captain Stephen Okechukwu Keshi has suddenly died at 54, his family announced.
Emmanuel Ado a brother to the late coach told Nigeria’s Premium Times the revered Super Eagles captain died of Cardiac arrest in the early hours of Wednesday, June 8.
“With thanksgiving to God, the Ogbuenyi Fredrick Keshi family of Illah in Oshimili North Local Government Area of Delta State announces the death of Mr. Stephen Okechukwu Chinedu Keshi,” Mr. Ado said in a statement.
He continued “Our son, brother, father, father-in-law, brother-in-law, has gone to be with his wife of 35 years (Nkem ), Mrs. Kate Keshi, who passed on on the 9th December 2015.
“Since her death, Keshi has been in mourning. He came back to Nigeria to be with her. He had planned to fly back today Wednesday, before he suffered a cardiac arrest. He has found rest.”
Though deeply mourning the shock exit, Mr. Ado said the family remained grateful to God for the life spent by the Big Boss.
Keshi had lost his wife of 35 years, Kate, to cancer last December.
Keshi, popularly called the Big Boss, is the only Nigerian coach to have won the Africa Cup of Nations.

He also became the second person in history to win the competition as a player and as a coach after Mahmoud El-Gohary of Egypt when he led the Super Eagles to win the tournament in 2013 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
He rose to national prominence when debuted for the Super Eagles in 1981 at age 20. The late Central Defender withdrew from the national team in 1994. He had 64 caps and scored nine goals.
As coach, he qualified an unlikely Togolese national team for the 2006 World Cup in Germany but was sacked and replaced with German Otto Pfister, just before the tournament.
He however, achieved his dream to manage a team at the World Cup when he coached the Super Eagles side to the tournament in 2014.
He is the fifth member of the glorious 1994 Super Eagles team to die, after Uche Okafor, Thompson Oliha, Rashidi Yekini and Wilfred Agbonavbare.
He is survived by four children and his mother.
