C. Ronaldo voted for Giroud as the best

Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo would have backed Oscarine Masuluke 's goal as his preferred choice for the FIFA Puskas Award despite the goalkeeper eventually losing out to Arsenal's Olivier Giroud.
Masuluke missed out on becoming the first African to win the prestigious prize at the awards in London on Monday.
Giroud scooped 36.17% of the 792 062 votes cast while Masuluke received 27.48% . The third nominee, Venezuela's Deyna Castellanos, got
20.47% .
Ronaldo though, who was later in the evening crowned as the Best FIFA Men's Player, reserved special praise for Masuluke during the gala event.
"I like Olivier Giroud's goal, but I have to give credit to the goalkeeper. He (usually) never goes forward and he tried an amazing goal, too," he said during the FIFA awards gala.
"Both (goals) I think were great."
Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane also named the South African when asked who he backed to win.
"It had to be the goalkeeper, with the bicycle kick. Incredible goal and celebration as well," he said.
Despite losing out on the award, Masuluke was hailed by Baroka FC boss Khurishi Mphahlele for putting the club on the global map.
"This moment ranks right up there with when we gained promotion to the Absa Premiership," Mphahlele was quoted by The Sowetan after the gala.
"It's something we can brag about that other teams cannot have. You could play 100 years and not come close to winning the award. It's something very special.
"As a club, it has given us great mileage and has raised our brand and profile."

From NASA to NRM what will happen next in kenya

Credit to Eric Onchanji Raila Odinga, the man with fanatical following in the Republic of KENYA announces the conversion of NASA political vehicle to a National Resistance Movement. My take: 1. What Raila Odinga has announced in the capital city of Kenya is near treason. It is the kind of announcement People make in the bush but he chose to make it publicly in the heart of Kenya. Raila is tired of election theft in KENYA. That name is not only revolutionary, it carries certain heavy undertones only known to a few. 2. This therefore means Raila Odinga wants to be arrested to trigger a Revolution because when people feel they cannot change or confirm leadership through the ballot, they resort to other means. And Raila said this was the last election that was stolen. 3. A reclusive nonetity named Wycliffe Matakwei of the Sabaot Land Defence Forces in Mt. Elgon held the Kenya Government for several years defying various security incursions until the KDF brought an end to his t...

Why are kenyans angry with President uhuru kenyatta

You campaign all over the country using like five teams to increase coverage, You incite voters to vote using slogans like Kumira Kumira, Thuraku Thuraku, Wembe ni ule ule, Watu ni wale wale. You sign hurriedly sign electoral ammendments into law, You purchase Munya, Isaac Ruto, Hassan Omar and many other August looser from NASA.
