Kenya-Stockholm Lady Suffers Stroke Attack

A young Kenyan lady is currently recuperating at Huddinge Hospital following a stroke attack. The lady, who is barely 30 years old, has been confined in a wheel chair after the stroke left her half way paralyzed.

Kenyans who have learnt about the tragedy have been praying for her to make quick recovery. The attack came as a complete surprise because apart from being young, the lady has been healthy and very active.

The attack has left many Kenyans in Stockholm in a state of panic because of the growing incidences of stroke attacks among both the young and the old in Kenya-Stockholm.

Although some Kenyans have blamed the attacks on excessive consumption of alcohol within the Kenya-Stockholm community, this theory might not be true because in the latest case, the lady is a devout Christian who has never touched pombe.

As the lady was admitted to hospital, another Kenyan lady had just been discharged from another hospital in town, having suffered a stroke which left her half way paralyzed and also confined her in a wheel chair. The lady collapsed in her flat before her former boyfriend called in the Ambulance which rushed her to hospital in critical condition. She was immediately put on an induced coma before going through brain surgery.

For more than six months, the lady was in a coma as Kenyans prayed for her. It was great joy to come into contact with her at the Raila meeting after she was discharged and after making tremendous recovery.

In the recent past, six Kenyans have gone down with stroke – four elderly men and two young women. Out of the four men, one has since died, another one is in a coma, a third one has recovered with partial paralysis of one arm while a fourth one appears to have made full recovery.

“Necessary Noise” Coming to Stockholm

The re-knowned Kenyan group – Necessary Noise – will be in Stockholm on Friday, 4th December in a Pre-Christmas Live bash that is expected to send Kenya-Stockholmers rocking to the wild beats of Nairobi as cold December opens up its doors. The show has been timed before you travel anywhere for your X-Mass hide-out and this makes it special.

The show will feature Mr. Lenny, a leading Necessary Noise group member together with DJ Lastborn who will hit the DJs table as early as 19.00 hrs. Both Artists will be flying from Kenya. The show is being coordinated by Steve, a Kenyan whose interest in music since the early days in Stockhy is well known by the Kenya Party fraternity.

The show has been facilitated in conjunction with the Network for Africans Unity in Sweden (NAV) which has been exciting members of the African community with one Live show after another (Remember Magic System and others?).

The show takes place at NAVs “Center of Gravity” at Bibliotekhuset in Sollentuna (Address Taniarplatsen 2). Further information is on the way but just in case you need immediate details, ring 0762604178, 0704193053, 0737605950 and get your fill.
