Bob Collymore has gotten married and his wedding is now the talk of the town and with good reason. First, to most Kenyans, nothing about his wedding followed a "safe" script. Both he and his wife did things their way with a garden wedding.

As splendid as the wedding was,most guys couldn't understand why he didn't just take the entire affair to church - like most Kenyans would.

Second, both the bride and groom are divorced. Kenyans seem to believe that life stops when a man or woman gets divorced and they should lead the rest of their lives in a hermitage at the foot of Mt. Kenya.

But Bob Collymore and his lovely bride have taught Kenyans that not everyone conforms to society's dictates. Some of us prefer to do things our way. And I for one I'm glad to have gleaned these tips from them.

But there are other lessons Bob Collymore has taught Kenyan bachelors the world over (I know he is from Trinidad and Tobago, I am simply saying he has lived here long enough to be considered Kenyan).

To have a look at those lessons, go to the next page.

• Make lots of money

Life in Kenya is a lot more enjoyable if you have lots of the stuff. The police seldom harass you, the food tastes better and the sun shines that much brighter if you have loads of the damned stuff. Kenyan women are also more agreeable if you have money.

So go and make your money.

• Do not fear single mothers

They do not bite. It doesn't matter under what circumstances they got to be single. A woman with a child isn't an animal outside of binomial nomenclature.

Single mothers are capable of loving and having fulfilling relationships if not more...

• Do not splash money on weddings

• Men do not expire

Kenyan bachelors, remember that you have no expiry date. You are not milk You do not go bad and curdle. You simply mature more like whiskey. Be ye 40 or be ye 50, it is not too late to meet your person.

• Neither do women
