Kenya ( /ˈkɛnjə/ or /ˈkiːnjə/), officially the Republic of Kenya, is a country in East Africa that lies on the equator. With the Indian Ocean to its south-east, it is bordered by Tanzania to the south, Uganda to the west, South Sudan to the north-west, Ethiopia to the north and Somalia to the north-east. Kenya has a land area of 580,000 km2 and a population of nearly 41 million, representing 42 different peoples and cultures. The country is named after Mount Kenya, a significant landmark and second among Africa's highest mountain peaks. Kenya's capital and largest city is Nairobi.
Kenya has a warm and humid climate along its coastline on the Indian Ocean which changes to wildlife-rich savannah grasslands moving inland towards the capital Nairobi. Nairobi has a cool climate that gets colder approaching Mount Kenya, which has three permanently snow-capped peaks. The warm and humid tropical climate reappears further inland towards lake Victoria, before giving way to temperate forested and hilly areas in the western region. The North Eastern regions along the border with Somalia and Ethiopia are arid and semi-arid areas with near-desert landscapes. Lake Victoria, the world's second largest fresh-water lake (after Lake Superior in the US and Canada) and the world's largest tropical lake, is situated to the southwest and is shared with Uganda and Tanzania. Kenya is famous for its safaris and diverse world-famous wildlife reserves such as Tsavo National Park, the Maasai Mara, Nakuru National Park, and Aberdares National Park.
Roger Whittaker (born 22 March 1936) is an Anglo-Kenyan singer-songwriter and musician. His music can be described as easy listening. He is best known for his baritone singing voice and trademark whistling ability. American audiences are most familiar with his 1970 hit "New World in the Morning" and his 1975 hit "The Last Farewell," the latter of which is his only single to hit the Billboard Hot 100 (it made the Top 20) and also hit #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart.
Whittaker's parents, Edward and Viola, were originally from Staffordshire, England, where they owned and operated a grocery shop. His father had a motorcycle accident and the family moved to a farm near Thika, Kenya because of the warmer climate. His grandfather sang in various clubs and his father played the violin. Roger learned to play the guitar.
Whittaker was drafted into national service and spent two years in the Kenya Regiment. In 1956 he was demobilized and decided on a career in medicine. He enrolled at the University of Cape Town in South Africa.
Idi Amin Dada (c. 1924 – 16 August 2003) was the military dictator and third President of Uganda from 1971 to 1979. Amin joined the British colonial regiment, the King's African Rifles in 1946. Eventually he held the rank of Major General in the post-colonial Ugandan Army and became its Commander before seizing power in the military coup of January 1971, deposing Milton Obote. He later promoted himself to Field Marshal while he was the head of state. While serving in the British Regiment he toured Kenya.
Amin's rule was characterised by gross human rights abuse, political repression, ethnic persecution, extrajudicial killings, nepotism, corruption, and gross economic mismanagement. The number of people killed as a result of his regime is estimated by international observers and human rights groups to range from 100,000 to 500,000. During his years in power, Amin shifted in allegiance from being a pro-Western ruler enjoying considerable Israeli support to being backed by Libya's Muammar al-Gaddafi, the Soviet Union and East Germany.

Everybody at the party is a many sided polygon
When a guest arrives
They will count how many sides it has on
Standing by the window over there
There is a shape with four sides, so it's a square
And the one who has nine is looking fine
And its name is Nonagon
Everybody turns just in time to see the pentagon arrive
Counting up the sides, it is clear the pentagon has five
Chatting in the kitchen we see
There is a triangle whose sides number three
And is talking to the shape that has nine
Who is known as Nonagon
Nonagon
Nonagon, lets in a guest who has shown up late
Its name is Octagon and its sides add up to eight
Turning the music on is a six sided hexagon
And they all get in a line and do
A dance called, 'the Nonagon
The Nonagon
[Intro/Verse1]
It's been so long,
that I haven't seen your face,
I'm trying to be strong,
but the strength I have is washing away.

& just hold you, tease you, squeeze you, tell you whats been on my mind.

[Verse2]
Girl I know, mistakes were made between us two,
& we showed,
our eyes that night, even said somethings weren't true,

I haven't seen my girl since then,
why can't it be the way it was,
cause you were my Homie, lover, and friend...
[Chorus]
I wanna make up right now na na,
I wanna make up right now na na,
wish we never broke up right now na na,

we need to link up right now na na,

You landed in my life
Like a new and brighter light
That made all my past seem in shadow
I always used to believe
That beauty was skin deep
But I need a new word to describe you
And the time that it took to take down the wall
Was the that it took for me to fall
Hopelessly weak
No one can take you away from me now
Don't worry if they take me away
No one can take you away from me now
Don't matter how long we have to wait
The days before you came
Were really all the same
A greyness I used to call freedom
Endless nights out with the boys
The boasting and the noise
To think that I ever believed them
No one can take you away from me now
Don't worry if they take me away
No one can take you away from me now
Don't matter how long we have to wait
I don't care what they think
You're all I believe in
I carry you here
And there's something of you
In everything I love
No one can take you away from me now
Don't worry if they take me away
No one can take you away from me now
Don't matter how long we have to wait
I am the one
I am the only one that I care about
She is the one
She was always the one to go running around in another land
She go home
I am the one
I am always the one that I recognise
And you are the one for me
Always the one
I go running around in another land
I go home too
Will you miss me when I'm gone?
I'll take on to know that I was so
If you want to run away
I'll take back all that I'll say
I'll take on to know that I was so
I am the one
I am always the one to be recognised
She was the one
She was always the one to go running around in another land
She go home too
Will you miss me when I'm all gone?
I'll take on to know that I was so
Well you want to run away
I'll take back all that I'll say
I'll take on to know that I was so
I saw the full moon sinking
I saw the full moon sinking
If you want to run away
I'll take back all that I'll say
I'll take on to know that I was so
Well she wants to look away
She wants to run away
I'll take on to know that I was so
I saw the full moon sinking
Don't be afraid he said
When he took his hand
Slowly drove him mad when
He filled his head with sand
No one knew
Not even mother dear
She just cleaned her shelves
Her mind was struck with fear
Several years went by but
Nothing changed at all
Once I thought I heard the boy cry
Thought he took a fall but no
No one knew
What went on
Until it was too late
He shot him
No one knew
Anything about you
No one knew
Anything
And in the end
Everything seemed lost
He could not defend
Oh, his right to live
No, no, no, no
No one knew
Anything about you
No one knew
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na ...
Can't stand your nagging any more
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na ...
Can't stand your nagging any more
Hey boy now just listen to me
Stop playing with me, you're not funny
Completely fed up with your bore
Can't stand your nagging any more
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na...
Can't stand you're nagging anymore
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na...
Can't stand your nagging anymore
I was head over heals in love
Don't get your nickers in a twist
I should tell you where to get off
Just wanna be alone at least
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na ...
Can't stand your nagging any more
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na ...
Can't stand your nagging any more
Please stop chatting me up baby
Don't wanna be yours, I wanna be free
You make me loose all my control
Can't bear your cheating any more
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na ...
Can't stand your nagging any more
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na ...
Can't stand your nagging any more
Please stop chatting me up baby

I got a car and it doesn't drive
all over town
but with the right attitude it's gonna come alive
all over town
I'll hit the gas and drive so fast
they'll all respect me when they can't catch me
NO ENGINE, NO PROBLEM
GOT A DREAM, GASOLINE, GOING ANYWHERE
NO ENGINE, NO PROBLEM
GOT A DREAM, GASOLINE, GOING ANYWHERE
every day of my life I work on that car
all over town
and then the harder I work the more it seems to break down
all over town
I hear them laugh whenever they pass
but they'll all respect me when they can't catch me
NO ENGINE, NO PROBLEM
GOT A DREAM, GASOLINE, GOING ANYWHERE
NO ENGINE, NO PROBLEM
GOT A DREAM, GASOLINE, GOING ANYWHERE
but one day I'll ride off in the sunset, sayonara to the 4B exit
from the parkway, to the turnpike, the expressway, they're all alike
but I'm different, I am desert, headed west bound with the top down
I'll send postcards, best wishes, dropping all hits, there will be no misses
NO ENGINE, NO PROBLEM
GOT A DREAM, GASOLINE, GOING ANYWHERE
NO ENGINE, NO PROBLEM
GOT A DREAM, GASOLINE, GOING ANYWHERE
ONE DAY I'LL RIDE OFF IN THE SUNSET
