The Pope is around the corner and most Nairobians are uneasy with anticipation, perhaps with the hopes of setting an eye on him. He will be the second high profile visitor to land in the country, after Obama came in for the Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES).

He is the most recent pope. He served from April 2005 until his hugely publicized resignation in 2013. No Pope has done that in our recent times. The Pope took over as the leader of the Catholic church after the death of Pope John Paul II.
2. St. Peter
