The Legacy of Fear: How the Shadow of Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Shaped Kenya's Political Landscape In the annals of Kenya's political history, the events of 1969 stand out as a defining moment marked by fear, coercion, and manipulation. The political tension surrounding Jaramogi Oginga Odinga's candidature led to a series of oath-taking ceremonies in Gatundu that forever altered the fabric of Kenyan society.

Ja Rule jets into Sydney and trouble

SYDNEY - After months of battling immigration officials for permission to enter Australia, US rapper Ja Rule has jetted into Sydney - and straight into trouble.

Not long after touching down with his blinged-up entourage, the rap artist with sales of 20 million albums to his name hopped in a car and terrified motorists in Pyrmont by driving on the wrong side of the road.

Ja Rule, whose real name is Jeffrey Atkins, had gone to radio station Nova 969 to promote his show at the Big Top event at Luna Park on August 29. After chatting about cars, radio host Kate Ritchie offered the rapper a drive in her mum's Toyota Seca, which she had driven to work that morning.

"I think he was more interested in looking at the view of Sydney than he was keeping his eyes on the road," a Nova 969 spokesman said. "He powered out into Pyrmont with Kate in the front and the show's other hosts Merrick and Rosso in the car and onto the wrong side of the road.

"They were all shouting at him to get back on the right side.

"I think there were a few people ducking out of the way.

"He obviously thought he was still in America. Luckily there was no damage."

The rapper was due to arrive in Australia in July but faced lengthy delays securing a visa, thought to relate to an arrest for gun possession in 2007.

The Pyrmont episode was recorded by Nova 969 and will be played on air early on Friday.
