Hello. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you all.

My name is Samson Lipuka. I am a Kenyan from a small town known as Mazeras. Mazeras is just some 20 kilometers to the west of old, historical port city of Mombasa on the Mombasa - Nairobi Highway.

I am a member of the Lipuka Family which is scattered all over East Africa. I am a broadcaster by profession. I am also a Taekwondo Instructor and hold a blackbelt from the World Taekwondo Federation. I also hold a blackbelt in Goju-ryu karate.

I am widely travelled, and have visited Nigeria a number of times since 2003, when I first visited Nigeria during the COJA Games.

I look forward to paying more visits to Nigeria before I go and be with my creator.

I love Nigerian movies, and have enjoyed Fela Kuti's music. As a result of what I saw of Nollywodd, I started my own company, Lipuka Productions Company for the purpose of venturing into the home movies industry. TYhis is very virgin area for Kenyans, but I hope that I may at a later stage make my own contribution in making Kenya another Nollywood; or is it kenwood?

I admire Nigerian football but I feel unhappy that it has seen some decline. I hope something will be done to reverse this decline.

I also want to thank my one true Nigerian friend, Abdul-semiu Agboola-imran for showing me that Nigerians can be true friends.

I hope that many more of you will be communicating with me. My e mail address is samlipuka@hotmail.com. Or you can send me an SMS on +254 721 290427 or +254 736 122555

Thank you all'
