Ladies, gentlemen, and everyone who’s ever missed a simple black ball under pressure — the pool fever is back. This time, it’s brought to you by none other than Mann Insurance, and according to the ever-energetic Tush from Mann, “Itakuwa fire bin fire!”Translation: expect flames, not sparks.


Now, before you think this is your usual cue-and-go event, brace yourself — Mann Insurance isn’t rolling solo. Tagging along on this fiery journey is the turntable messiah himself, DJ Alekkings. Yes, the man who can mix your heartbreak into a banger and still have you dancing like you just got insured for happiness.


And of course, what’s a hot event without a cold refreshment? Aquadel Drinking Water, kama kawaida kama data — always reliable, always refreshing — will be right there to hydrate your vibe and your soul.

And of course, no Mikocheni appearance is ever complete without Msafu — the man who’s been holding down their logistics since day one. Once again, he’s making sure the crew arrives early, organized, and impossible to ignore. When Msafu’s on duty, Mikocheni doesn’t just show up — they make an entrance.

Picture this: thirty-two fearless players from two territories — Makutano’s Mikocheni and Murugi’s Crew — facing off in a knockout showdown. The venue is the legendary Kwa Murugi’s Base, also known as The Arena of Legends. The date is 15th November 2025, and the time is 3 PM sharp, because lateness might cost you your seat and possibly your street credibility.


Entry is absolutely free. Yes, you read that right — free — courtesy of the sponsors who clearly believe that fun should never be taxed. Come early, grab a seat, network, enjoy the vibe, and maybe even discover you’re better at cheering than actually playing.


The champions won’t just walk away with glory. There’s KSh 5,000 for the winner, 3,000 for the runner-up, and 2,000 for third place. But as we all know, this isn’t about the cash; it’s about fun, fire, and a little bit of friendly chaos. So polish those cues, iron that confidence, and get ready for a night where insurance meets entertainment, hydration meets heat, and DJ Alekkings meets destiny — and possibly the replay button.


Yours truly will be there, well-represented as always, soaking in every moment from the first break to the last sip of Aquadel. And who knows, you might just end up featured on the best blog in Meru. So, 15th November. Kwa Murugi’s. Be there — or be the one reading about it later, wishing you had come.

Photo/Martin Muthuri.  Meru teachers are not just marking books — they’re marking dance steps too. And not just any steps. The Meru Teachers’ Choir has officially danced their way to the very top, scooping first place in the Folk Dance category at the ongoing Kenya Music Festivals National Finals , right here in Meru . The victory comes barely two years since the group was formed, and only on their second appearance at the nationals. Last year, they reached the finals in Eldoret , but this year they decided to carry the whole trophy home — literally. Their win also comes with an invite to tomorrow’s prestigious Gala at Meru School , where they’ll perform in front of none other than Deputy President Prof. Kithure Kindiki . Talk about going from “staffroom practice” to State-level audience. But as group member Martin Muthuri reveals, this success was not just ...

When Meru Met Nairobi: The Night Aquadel Turned Pool Tables into Battlefields

Aquadel Pool Tournament Contestants Pose for a group picture.  Photo/Felix Kinyua. Ladies and gentlemen, gather round. I’ve written words for weddings, covered chaos, and even described a goat auction once — but never in my long, word-filled life have I been speechless. Yet this month’s Aquadel Pool Tournament did the impossible: it shut me up. I tried to write about it the next morning, but even my keyboard refused to cooperate. My mind said “poetic justice,” but my heart whispered, “bro, we got humiliated.” --- The Calm Before the Cue Storm At exactly 5PM — not a minute later, because Aquadel doesn’t do “African timing” — I strolled into the New Aquadel Auto Spa Carwash at Gakurine, a few meters from the Maua–Isiolo junction. What I found there was less of a carwash and more of a movie set. You’d think Netflix was filming The Fast and the Curious: Meru Drift . And right there, the mighty Nairobi Elite had already set up camp — sharp, slick, and dangerous in red. Our local heroes ...

Photo/Felix Kinyua.  Ladies and gentlemen, Today, allow me to take a break from my usual sermons and sorrows. No complaints, no blame games, and definitely no advice to anyone owing Fuliza. Today, we celebrate . Because this past Saturday, Makutano and its neighbouring areas witnessed something so smooth, so well-planned, so enjoyable — even Murugi’s Base couldn't believe it. This was the second edition of the Aquadel Pool Tournament, and yes, my friends, this one was different. Very different. --- How We Got Here — A Fortnight Ago, in the Backstreets Now, if you’ve been following me (and I know most of you do, even silently), you remember I recently wrote about a man called Bloko, the CEO of Aquadel Drinking Water. Back then, we were just at our humble base in Mikocheni — same pool table, same squad, same arguments about who plays next. Then Bloko showed up, saw potent...
