MERU DAILY

A Poster for Aquadel Carwash and Auto Spa Wordcup Watch Party Events. Designed by Felix Kinyua . Football fans, breathe. The Premier League season is finally over. For Arsenal supporters, it is a chance to recover emotionally, spiritually, and financially after another season of "next year is our year." For the rest of football fans—especially those who spend entire weekends hoping Arsenal loses—your hobby is temporarily on hold. Well, almost. Because football, unlike your landlord, never takes a break. And neither does Aquadel Carwash and Auto Spa. Just when we thought we'd have a few weeks of peace and normal sleep patterns, the football gods have handed us another global obsession: the FIFA World Cup, the greatest sporting spectacle on earth. As expected, Aquadel has refused to be left behind. Like that one friend who always arrives first at a wedding and leaves after the DJ packs up, Aquadel is already in tournament mode. For the next month, football lovers from Meru ...

Fans follow the Arsenal Vs PSG, UEFA Champions League final at the Watch Party Event organised by Aquadel Carwash and Auto Spa. Photo/Felix Kinyua.  There comes a time in every Arsenal fan's life when reality arrives, sits you down, pours itself a cup of tea and says, "My friend, it is time we talk." That moment arrived for me three days ago. The pain was so severe, so emotionally expensive, that it took me exactly seventy-two hours to recover enough strength to write this article. Three days. Three complete days. Jesus resurrected in three days. I resurrected from Arsenal's latest Champions League heartbreak in exactly the same period. Coincidence? I think not. The banter has been merciless. WhatsApp groups became crime scenes. Facebook turned into a public court where Arsenal fans were prosecuted without legal representation. Even people who spent the entire season asking whether offside is a type of transport suddenly became football experts. Manchester United fans...

A Poster of the Aquadel Carwash and Auto Spa Champions league finals watch party event. Designed by Felix Kinyua.  There are only two things in this world capable of giving me unexplainable joy. The first one is Arsenal Football Club — yes, the newly crowned Premier League champions. Mimi ni Arsenali damu na mifupa. At this point even my bloodstream is probably red and white. The second thing, which honestly comes dangerously close to Arsenal in my heart, is Aquadel Carwash and Auto Spa events under the leadership of my good friend Patrick Rungu alias Bloko — a loyal Manchester United supporter currently surviving on memories and old YouTube highlights. Now, before you ask how an Arsenal fan and a Manchester United fan can coexist peacefully, let me remind you that miracles happen every day. Especially at Aquadel. The reason these two entities rank highly in matters fun is simple: consistency. Just like Arsenal this season, Aquadel never misses. Kila siku ni form. No off days. No e...

Participants at a past Aquadel sponsored Pool Tournament. Photo/Felix Kinyua . Ladies and gentlemen… hayawi hayawi huwa. And as always, when Meru decides something is coming back, it doesn’t knock—it just arrives. After the festive season where discipline took annual leave and budgets were treated like suggestions, Meru’s biggest pool tournament is back—courtesy of Aquadel Drinking Water, Thorn Expeditions, and now Mann Insurance… because clearly, things have escalated. And if you are still thinking this is just another event you can skip and later say “nitacheki highlights,” my friend, this is how people miss history and end up listening to exaggerated versions in WhatsApp groups. From Thuci to Ntonyiri, this is no longer just a tournament. This is where confidence is tested, reputations are negotiated, and now… trophies are involved. Yes. A trophy. Meaning this thing has officially moved from “mchezo ya weekend” to “legacy issues.” Let us first revisit what still pains some people qu...

Felix Kinyua is the face behind Meru Daily's Content. Photo/Felix Kinyua. As a journalist, my mandate is simple: to inform, educate, and entertain .  Anything else is volunteer work. And as 2025 quietly clears its throat and prepares to exit, I find it only right—professionally and shamelessly—to look back at the last 365 days. Dear reader, it was eventful . Being a freelance print journalist is a lot like being Batman. You do the work, save the city, but rarely appear in daylight. That’s why whenever I tell friends that I am the blogger behind this famous blog , they often go silent—processing, recalculating, and suddenly respecting me differently. People love the writing, but very few can put a face to the name. I prefer it that way. At the start of the year, I revived this blog after it had been dormant for about three years —deep sleep, no alarm, no dreams. I expected a slow comeback, maybe a few courtesy clicks. Instead, I received mad love and a crazy following . Readers we...

Aquadel Auto Carwash and Spa located at Gakurine a few metres from Meru-Ruiri Junction. Photo/Aquadel By the time Kenyans wrap up Jamhuri Day celebrations, the country automatically shifts gears. From patriotic to party mode. December has only one agenda: eat, drink, travel to ushago, repeat. And in the middle of this beautiful chaos, I found myself doing what every responsible adult pretends to do—washing the car. But not just anywhere. I was back at Aquadel’s Carwash and Auto Spa, a few metres from Meru–Ruiri Junction, where “carwash” is merely a suggestion, not the main event. Let me be very clear, my people—Aquadel does not disappoint. This is not one of those places where you sit on a plastic chair, stare at your dusty car, and question your life choices. No. This is where your car gets pampered while you get entertained, hydrated, and spiritually restored by good vibes. And because December must December, Aquadel has decided that washing cars alone is not enough. They are lining ...
