Hello,
I am Alffie. Never with a single F; unless you call me Alf. But in the eternal words of Paul Simon in the classic song:
“You can call me Al.”
Her highness, Ms Ntha, has seen wise to have me write on matters Africa – in light of everyday topics and issues. Basically, view whatever issue through the lens of an ordinary African.
The phrasing “Ordinary African” will stand out significantly in my writings as I will never attempt to make you think your perspective is less than, nor will I drown you in statistics and figure that you more often than not just skim through.
Mine will be more about thought provoking – trying to get you to ask more questions, attempt to get you to question the status quo, and thereby either solidify your stand in an issue – or maybe consider reviewing them.
Though with a degree in Computer Science & Technology, the passion for Literature, Arts & Philosophy has always been part of me. Always questioning everything, playing devil’s advocate is a favourite pass time as I believe in this principle:
“Only a philosophy/worldview that can stand scrutiny is worth believing in”
And so my writing is more about asking more questions, than answering them.
I hope you ask questions along with me.
Feel free to reach me via email at ochiengnalfred@gmail.com.

Till next time,
Alffie.
P.S. Ntha loves my locs, so she decided to slot in a few pics when she was editing this post.
