So, you’ve been dating/living/married to your man for some time and some of his habits makes you physically ill: he leaves the toilet seat up, he leaves his socks on the floor, and/or he drinks the last drop of milk and puts the carton back in the refrigerator. All annoying traits, yes, but are they signs you should through him out like yesterday’s trash? I’ve compiled a list of signs that can give you a clue that it might be time to give your man his walking papers.

· if you break your leg and your man doesn’t even visit you in the emergency room, that’s a problem. It shouldn’t have to come to that extreme: little signs that indicate a lack of empathy should be enough for you to know that your relationship has run its course. Need some examples? You have a bad day (and it’s written on your face) and he doesn’t ask you about it. You have a headache and he doesn’t offer you an aspirin. If you are in pain, whether physical or mental, and your man says or does nothing…that’s someone who doesn’t care about you.

2· He’s become the Invisible Man

When you’re with someone, they should be there. If you are in a long distance relationship, that’s one thing. If your man lives across town but you hardly ever see him…that’s a sure clue that he’s just not into you anymore.

3· He’s Become “Mr. X”

You used to know your man inside and out but now you don’t know what’s going on in his life. For all you know he’s changed jobs, his name, his hair-colour, his sexual orientation. You can’t be in a relationship if you don’t even know the person you’re in a relationship with.

4· You Can’t Stand the Very Sight of Him

You used to love his face. The cute way he smiled at you. Now…whenever you see him you want to throw up. Before, he said the cutest things. Now, if he speaks you want to slap him. Again, this may be extreme but if you don’t have an attraction to your man anymore, that’s a BIG problem.

5. You keep secrets

One of the best things about being in a relationship is that you have someone you can confide in. A confidant is someone you can trust. If you can share with your man, it’s because you can’t trust him. You should be able to trust your man. There are some secrets that everyone keeps to themselves but if you finding yourself keeping more and more things closer to the vest.

6. No sex

This one doesn’t include for medical reasons. This one doesn’t include those couples who had a slow sex life to begin with. This clue is for those couples that were having sex but now don’t. Depending on how long you’ve been together, a natural decrease in the frequency is normal. I’m talking about the total absence of any desire for your man. When you don’t want to have sex with your man under any circumstances that is a major problem

7. He doesn’t tell you about important things

This one ties into number five. You may still tell your man things but he doesn’t tell you things. Very important things like he’s seeing someone else.

8. You’re unhappy 

You can’t expect that every day in a relationship is going to be sunshine and lollipops. However, if everyday feels like slow torture and you just want to curl up into a ball and cry…that’s not a good thing. You could be depressed but if you feel this way because of the one your with…you don’t need a therapist to tell you that breaking up may make you loads happier.

9. His bad little habits boil you re blood boil

I have a boyfriend. He leaves the shower curtain open. He puts a dish in the sink and doesn’t scrape the plate so the sink clogs. He takes off his pants and lets them drop wherever; usually it’s in the middle of the floor. And he snores loudly. These are things that he does. I’ve asked him to stop (not the snoring; I know he can’t help that). He says he’ll try. He doesn’t. It doesn’t cause me too much angst. If your man does little things that make you want to go nuclear, he should leave your crazy behind alone!

10. You feel trapped

You feel crushed by the love you feel for your boyfriend. The weight of it is immense. No situation is unchangeable. You CAN free yourself. You just need the strength of your convictions.

Across history many famous people from Kenya have made their mark on its lively history and evolution from a country of nomadic tribes peoples to a full democracy competing in the global economy with Europe and America.
In fact, the Kenya you see today reflects these famous people from Kenya’s history in its monuments and statuary. In the village of Malindi, near Mombassa on the Eastern seaboard, the Portuguese pillar built from coral still bears the cross of Lisbon stone. Vasco da Gama first visited Mombassa in 1498 as he explored shipping routes across the Indian Ocean. Contrast this centuries old monument with the modern statue of another of Kenya’s famous people, the freedom fighter Dedan Kimathi who led the Mau Mau uprisings of the 1950s and ultimately helped Kenya achieve independence. Kimathi is privileged in Nairobi’s City Center by a bronze statue. The struggles of the Mau Mau gave rise to the Republic of Kenya which was recognized in 1963 when Jomo Kenyatta, an African of Kikuyu descent, was declared the first African president of Kenya.
Political figures, rulers and imperialists aside, Kenya’s history has been rich with other famous people making their mark in other ways. For example, Richard Leakey, the well known paleontologist, excavated an area around the Lake Turkana area of Kenya. There he uncovered some amazing skulls belong to Homo erectus and his ancestor, homo habilis. These skulls were near perfect in their preserved state and allowed scientists a rare and precious opportunity to further their knowledge of the development of the human species.
Professor Wangari Maathai, an African woman pioneer, represents another sector in the ranks of famous people from Africa. Her groundbreaking work helped women become involved in conservationism, tree planting, environmentalism and the fight against poverty in Africa and in particular in Kenya. Her work was duplicated and expanded to surrounding countries as she strove relentlessly to improve social and environmental conditions in Africa.
