Need For Blood

THE NEED FOR BLOOD

By. Biffon Momanyi

Blood donation has become a major concern to the society as donated blood is lifesaving for individuals who need it most on a daily basis, Moi University has become one of the most supporting fraternity in the blood donation program that has been conducted several times by the Kenya Red Cross officials around the students’ center.

For the past few days, comrades have been seen queuing around the students’ center with the aim of donating blood just to save a life that would otherwise perish for blood.

An official from the Kenya Red Cross Society confirmed to the 3^rd eye that after collecting blood, it is taken to the Kenya National Blood Transfusion Services located in major hospitals countrywide ( for this case blood is taken to Eldoret branch, a few meters from Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital), after which they are tested to confirm the blood group and purity, finally blood used for different needs that arise within the hospitals around that particular location to save people’s treasure (live).

Blood donation is an activity usually carried out to an individual when he/she voluntarily agrees for blood to be drawn with the intention of donating it. This has become a common activity in our society, and you are encouraged to donate blood. According to the medical experts, this activity comes with a number of benefit including; reduced risk for heart diseases and cancer as well.

The campus love triangle

 In The Name Of Love

By. Biffon Momanyi

Although sex may be more common than love at university, there’s still a peculiar form of romance in campus. In between sleeping together and becoming an official couple lies a gulf of misunderstanding, emotions and varying degrees of intimacy. Many students loiter in this no-man’s-land for much of their studies.

Campus is one of the societies with rare cases of true love. Some students believe that the so called love is part of the core objective of being in campus only to be proved wrong by the so called focused students who know that they can only tackle an agenda/objective at a time.

While some of the students who believe in campus love say that they like to choose between tall and short, black and white, others don’t even know how to describe what LOVE is, some say that to them love is a mystery and they just find themselves entangled in it.

Recent death cases in several universities with Egerton University holding the latest Death in the LOVE TRIANGLE has left More than a question and anger in minds of many. A female student was brutally murdered by her partner for issues relating to love affairs, this comes a few months after another female student was attacked and killed by her ex-boyfriend in Moi University West Campus in the same LOVE TRIANGLE.

While such cases are becoming rampant in universities, the question is, why do you have to kill just in the name of LOVE? As a matter of fact this are issues begging for immediate actions from the authority, both local and national governments should impose measures to curb such incidents.

Killing doesn’t solve but make things worse than you ever thought. The power of speech between couples can serve better in disagreements. Never let LOVE be a mystery and find yourself entangled in it without your consent, that way you might be taking your first wrong turn in life, also try know your partner more than you do know yourself.

The “friends with benefits” thing should not shake your legs and land you into unexpected relationship, keep in mind that love is nothing but a critical emotion of strong attraction. I therefore advocate for official relationships if they must happen, otherwise don’t let your emotions over speed your mind.
