Nothing is more mysterious than a Father-Daughter relationship. It’s special, deep and inexplicable. This relationship becomes a huge influence on a young girl’s social interactions, as an adult.
Recently, an incident at a local dispensary gave some clarity.
A young girl is due for a jab, and she’s brought in by her father. As the doctor walks in with a needle, she starts bawling. She gets the frights.
Her father tries to calm her down with candy – she flings it at the doctor. Well, the medic has an option. If she doesn’t want it, he’d be forced to give the jab to her dad.
It’s either her, or her father. Unbelievably, she offers her arm for the needle.
The intrigue in a Father-Dad relationship has been a favorite byline in a lot of movies and thrillers.
Trending at No.5 on Netflix in Kenya, there’s a movie series dabbed – My Name. It’s that kind of a teary story, beautiful, albeit with a lot of flair thrown in.

The drug king pin cooks up a new identity for his protege. It’s the first step in an ingenious ploy to strengthen the organisation’s tentacles in the Police Service – she joins the police.
As a send-off gift, her mentor hands her the weapon that allegedly killed her father. It’s a police-issue pistol.
