Why Kenyans Should Focus Their Energy On Kenya, Not Africa as Whole..

Politics dividing Kenyans. Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga 

Think of a situation where you are walking in the light but only to realize later that whatever you thought was light was just a mirage of the reality.

Kenyans are funny! Not that a Kenyan would make you laugh your face down, but because they do not really realize they are funny at all. They pity the other African countries for running the crooked system of governance, yet they are in it so deep that they have nowhere to run. Dead end!

Kenyans are great guys at looking and seeing beyond what other African nationals can see. Imagine pointing a finger in bad leadership in a country marked X while ignoring the fact that the citizens of that particular nation are very happy. It is like trying to poke a finger in the eye of a person in a video, just because you have a touch screen device--- It cannot work that way.  

In Kenya, we have our own problems in the country, why go around causing trouble?

Let us have a look at these maybes.

·         Maybe, we lack unity among ourselves making it easier to invest our energies somewhere else.

·         Maybe, we have a problem with our ‘Know It All attitude.

·         Maybe, we fear internal attacks but since we can come together for African charity work, we find it fun.

·         Maybe we are losers pretending to be the eye and ear of Africa while sitting on our own time bomb.

·         Maybe, we have that desire to give assistance but we have not dealt with our mess first.

·         Maybe, we are cowards in matters affecting us, a reason we hunt for the rot elsewhere.

·         Or maybe, we feel so noble in standing for our African people… So sad that no one really cares.

Why we need ‘Us’ to work together for the common cause.

We have been fighting for change in wrong places for some time, and we have shown our courage and unity when we hardly needed any. Great! This is a first, and I think the best chance to build a firm unity that will be our strength in future.

If we put our energies together for one particular change, we have a good chance to emerge winners.

The fear of unity is our worst enemy. It gives our enemy a channel of exploitation. It drains our nobility and makes us all novices. Sad that the enemy wants us divided…

Think of a lion facing wildebeests… he may attack the whole lot, but only targets one that secludes itself from the crowd.

Now face our situation and see the reality. Does our politics benefit us in any way?

I guess minority would say, ’We got our man in the State House and that is all we need.’

That is bad mentality that was imprinted in the minds of cool Kenyans.

You know what? The will of many politicians is to make sure ethnicity is subscribed by the majority of people in Kenya.  In fact, this single issue has crippled our land and everything Kenyans should be proud of.  

We walk tall empty handed, we work for long hours on our empty stomachs, we elect idiots who have nothing to offer other than peanuts during the campaign period and who cares about us? No one! Not even ‘your man in the State House.’

Why we can be what they fear the most

We have reasons to call ourselves by our noble name, Kenyans.

We have a reason to choose the best among the rotten system, beyond ethnic lines.

We have the will to change the face of Africa, but we should start at home first.

We have time to rectify our mistakes.

We have power in our numbers and we don’t need them to tell us what to do.

This is what change should be… not the way it is now!

   

Should We Trust Either Raila or Kenyatta?

Raila and Uhuru, Are They The Best Kenya Can Ever Get?

The products of a failed system is pain, debts, corruption, silencing those who are nosy, defending corruption, and hiding in the vacuum of ‘don’t care’ mentality when everything is tumbling down on people’s shoulders. Kenyans have everything to lose here, but because of tribalism and foolishness some people still think that the Jubilee government is the shield and refuge for their tribes and wealth.

Raila’s way of handling the IEBC issue is not good. He is like a goon eyeing for a bigger trophy but his effort is being let down by a barrier so huge for him to jump across.

The looser here is no one but a common Kenyan. If the system is stealing from us, we have means of solving the issue with the power of the majority. Sometimes we need to be blind in order to see clearly. Kenyatta’s team is Bad; Raila’s team is Worse… We are doomed to think that these are the only leaders we can rely on when it comes to Kenya’s Governance.

A good leader is not seen by how he can manage the masses from his tribal inclination… but is seen by how he connects with all tribes and ethnic grouping of all Kenyans. 

Now look at President Kenyatta;

1.       Without his homeland votes he has nothing but void… The reason why this is so is because he lacks leadership skills. The language should not be the measure of influence but a way of making people believe that they have someone to rely to in matters related to governance.

2.       Without Ruto’s votes, Jubilees as whole loses its ability to call itself a government of Kenya. Why, Jubilee Alliance is made up of two tribes, leaving behind about 40 other in a state of either in or out of the government. Fail!

Let’s go to Raila’s camp; 

the three principals making CORD coalition is an alignment of tribal leaders coming together for the common goal. These leaders have no means of calling for a united Kenya because none of them can make it alone into power without the other two. The issue of coalition political parties is where the thickest tribalism lies. In light words, CORD is a breed of tribalism… just like Jubilee Alliance Party.

Should we trust either Raila or Kenyatta?
