About this ebook

We all live to eat, and from our diverse cultures, we soon learn that nearly all sorts of stuff are edible in the world such that Paul, he the writer of the epistles was apt to say another man’s food is the poison of another! We live by our own or in groups and we develop a tendency to savor particular delicacies because of those around us. However, for those who travel far and wide the knowledge of the practicability of eating all sorts of stuff to survive often linger in the horizon. People eat worms, insects, reptiles, carnivores, herbivores, slugs and amphibians. Before you think a certain kind of food is for the poor, bad or inedible, take time to rethink your position. This small book is about an African food stuff called UGALI. Ugali per se is not a delicious food, but I can vouch for its nourishment to the human body over the ages. The tongue can be tamed to like the food. If you are an urbanite, you may do well to find out from the miller’s packaging if your brand was organically bread. If you choose to plant your own maize, it is best to understand the climatic conditions of your region. Maize plants are great feeders and are easily affected by the environment. However, the joy of seeing your maize grow over the next 3-6 months depending on the high breed is something captivating. Just imagine the process, placing the seed in the ground, watching it sprout in a week, taking care of its growth, watching it dry, harvesting, shelling, drying the grain, getting it ground, cooking your ugali and then eat it!

Will Anthony, Jr

Will Anthony Jr. is currently the Chairman of the Uasin Gishu County Land Control Board which caters for over one million people. Before this stint, he worked in other capacities with the National government. He has also been lecturer in three religious institutions, a service to the youth to gather knowledge from the aging population. In his life time, Will Anthony Jr. says he has met a lot of people and can unflinchingly say that he loved most of them. Why most of them? Well, it is a tall order to love everyone you meet! Will Anthony Jr. has written several e-books touching on diverse subjects that relate to society. The books extensively cover human social and economic practices and this is so because expertise in one field in Africa can become a drudgery according to his practical view. His perception is that if you were born in Africa and the continent is your aboriginal home, you are likely to have English as your second language (ESL). Sometimes it could even be a third language. For him, he had to learn his mother tongue then learn both English and Swahili simultaneously. He went to his pre-primary bare foot, later he joined the local primary school 5 Km away and had to trek barefoot again not because his parents could not buy him shoes but because cobblers were a rare find. That journey was a daily toil of 10 Km, 5 days in a week or ~270 days yearly for 7 years. With a smirk he says that when you achieve a PhD in Africa, then You have done Plenty of hard Digging (PhD) or you have a Permanent head Damage (PhD) and you might end up in a ditch because your IQ cannot contain the booze like the local fellas!"Why did the English colonize Africa?" To keep the African languages in Czech (check), and he says that one must forgive this pun. But besides the pun, English has broken both social and economic barriers of the once "dark continent" whose forefathers slaved the white farms and firms to lace the pockets of their Lords.A PhD holder in Africa will still practice other 'trades' though they maybe 'very' learned because poverty is shameless, one has to draw bounds through plenty of smart work or else, it will be a shame to steal so as to maintain class.He published a book in 1992, but the publisher coned him , he took her to court and the case aged in judicial corridors for 12 years. He then made a decision to abandon the matter and to forget about writing books. However, Self publishing made him to change that decision. More than anything, He salutes Smashwords Inc. for the platform.In retrospect, He recalls a Dr. Alfred Sam, a friend of his from North America who was also a dean of studies in a local university, exposing his white ass in the university's auditorium to catch attention. The noise ceased as students and lecturers turned to look at the grown-up man on the podium doing the abominable. Well, the good Dr. in anthropology then simply pulled up his trousers buckled the belt and said, "Thank You, now I have your attention..."For the sake of simplicity, without much display of academia, Will Anthony Jr. is a writer in the global village market . For this, he Salutes all his readers and all lovers of written work. In a word of caution, he says that men and women alike must bear. In reference, there is an Ibo saying that every market place has it's mad people who will attempt to mar the business of the seemingly sane people. On the other hand, the English say everyone is mad, it's only the degree madness that is at variance. Salutes most profoundly!
