The Great Meru Pool Showdown: Where Cues, Clout, and Chaos Collide!

Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves — because this Saturday, November 15th, 2025, starting at 3PM all tarmacked, murram, and dusty roads lead to one sacred destination: Murugi’s Base, just a few metres from the former DCI boss’s residence. Don’t worry, no investigations here — only good vibes, cold drinks, and plenty of action on the pool tables.


The Battle of the Cue Sticks


This isn’t your usual ka-base pool tournament. This is the Meru Pool Premier League, the showdown of all showdowns. On one side, eight cue-wielding warriors from Mikocheni Makutano are sharpening their shots. On the other, eight homegrown legends from Murugi’s Base are ready to defend their territory with precision, pride, and a touch of mischief.


And what’s at stake? A smooth Ksh 5,000 for the winner, Ksh 4,000 for the first runner-up, and Ksh 3,000 for third place. Honestly, if you’ve ever dreamed of making fast money without joining a pyramid scheme, this is your moment. Talent pays — literally.


The Legends Behind the Madness


Now, this masterpiece wouldn’t exist without the legends bankrolling the fun. The event is powered by DJ Alekkings, Meru’s undisputed turntable king who knows how to mix beats and energy like no one else. Mann Insurance, represented by Kirimi and Farouk (a.k.a. Tush), is proving that even insurers know how to party. Aquadel Drinking Water will be there to keep everyone hydrated — or at least to give you something to chase your soda with. And of course, there’s Madam Felicity Mbiriri, the ever-supportive leader and people’s favorite for the 2027 Meru County Women Representative Post, alongside Eric Kimani, a true Meru hustler with a heart big enough to sponsor dreams and laughter alike.


These sponsors aren’t just funding a tournament — they’re investing in pure community spirit, laughter, and connection.


The Crowd and the Clout


Expect a melting pot of Meru’s finest — CEOs, influencers, local celebrities, and the occasional “I’m with the DJ” type. Word has it that Patrick Rungu AKA Bloko of Aquadel, DJ Alekkings, Madam Felicity, and even Faisal from Isiolo have confirmed attendance. When people cross county borders just for vibes, you know it’s serious.


Getting there early isn’t just a suggestion; it’s a survival strategy. The event kicks off at 3 PM sharp, and if you arrive on “Meru time,” don’t say nobody warned you. Seats fill faster than a boda rider dodging traffic cops.


In Conclusion…


If it’s happening in Meru and you don’t see it here, then let’s be honest — it probably didn’t happen. So grab your crew, polish that cue stick, and come witness history being made. The Great Meru Pool Showdown isn’t just a game; it’s an experience. The laughter will be loud, the competition fierce, and the memories unforgettable.


Because at Murugi’s Base, the only thing sharper than the shots… are the comebacks.

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...
