Gator Nation: Another SEC title!!!


It's really great to be a Florida Gator! The face-off held between Alabama (1) and Florida(4) was at the Georgia Dome and how I wished I would have been there as part of the record breaking 75, 892 crowd!! My friend Josiah was sending me regular updates via text message and when I got the one that read 31-20 a little after 1am my time, I fell asleep smiling!

My boy, Tim Tebow, with his fine self, delivered again! Tebow passed for 216 yards and three TDs - yeah baby! I'm nominating him for the Heisman trophy again - this dude is made of everything nice with sugar and spice! Here is a great article,published last year,that in my opinion truly captures why we love Tebow so much! He is more than just football.

FINAL SCORE: ALABAMA 20 FLORIDA 31

(Copied from Diaspora Messenger -11/29/08)

The late Alexander Waiganjo Njuguna

Alexander Waiganjo Njuguna, a Kenyan living in Baltimore Maryland was murdered by unknown assailant in his apartment between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Alexander was 29 years old and is the son of Rose Njeri Njuguna of Baltimore Maryland.

The circumstances of his death are still unknown and the police are still investigating.

Family and friends are currently meeting at Rose's home (Alexander’s mother) in Baltimore as they try to come to grips with this terrible tragedy. They are requesting all Kenyans and friends everywhere to join them in prayer and also in comforting and assisting Rose to take care of the expenses of the funeral and burial which will take place in Kenya sometime within the next 2 weeks.

My heart goes out to the family during this tough time. Also, my condolences go out to my friend, Peter Mugo aka Kaka, who introduced Alex to us just a year ago at Thanksgiving. Alex (in dreads) and Kaka have been long time friends since their childhood days in Buru Buru Estate. Death reminds us that our days are numbered and that we must make the best out of every day we are alive. R.I.P.
