Roads are deserted. Kufika home nakuta lorry ya GSU imepack nje ya mlango. At least security is very tight. Guys rudini tuu normal coz it’s lonely out here and there’s safety in numbers. It feels like a ghost town. I want to just check everything is OK. Nirudi kwenye nimetoka coz I don’t like the idea of being alone hata kama tunachungwa na GSU this hustler revolution may not work out well for some of us. Wacha nipigie watu wako CBD nijue kama watu wamerudi. Who is in CBD to update us how the situation is on that end.
watu wa kibera laini saba tumewajua.
We have all been thru it before …
And Kenyans have very short memories …
In a couple of months , everything will be business as usual …
The Graft , Impunity , Mismanagement , Grabbing , Thuggery , Intimidation and Backwardness is away on a short vacation …
It will soon be back with it’s usual intensity …:D:D:D
Save your breath. Some were toddlers just the other day in 2000, yet they think they know everything. As long as you have control, take care of your farm, shop, job, mat, clinic, etc. That’s your future, and if you stay focused you’ll be fine.
Word …
And the dance goes on … :D:D
You may not be fine. Covid taught me that when shit happens everyone is affected and the more prosperous more people are and the economy, the better and more secure whatever you have is, if people can’t afford to pay your rent for your commercial or residential buildings you too will suffer. Malls will be empty. No customers as people divert the money they brought to you to the basic essentials.
Nothing has taught me that you don’t live in a bubble like Covid did. The more the corruption and mismanagement the worse the economy the worse your business the easier it will be to lose your job the higher the rent for your shop is.
Its an ecosystem bro. You won’t be fine.
Millennials think they know it all but the culture shock they’re about to get is the worst kind of character development. If you have never experienced oppression you take your freedom very lightly. You take it for granted and you think that you can never lose it. I’m sorry for them because us we’ve lived our lives, they’re just starting and it’s going to be hardest on them. There’s already 5M unemployed youths. If the economy gets any worse trust me the country will become more and more unstable. Its not in anyone’s best interests when we have such a huge reservoir of youthful desperate people in the population.
So let’s stop lying to ourselves that we will be fine. We don’t know that. Especially if the past record of this man is anything to go by, not to mention his deputy, we are in more trouble than we want to believe.
Their parents and grandparents–whom many think are old, ignorant and useless–lived through 24 yrs of great political and economic suppression, amid colourful songs and national festivals. I doubt it can get worse–it can only get better, it must–but it’ll take serious work, and a 360 degree turn in our understanding of what it means to love a country.
A country is not rivers, ridges, mountains and plains, or even buildings, cars, trains and plains. It’s people, and you ‘love’ people by doing unto them as you would have them do unto you, regardless of whether you like them or not. The sum total of these varied actions is what we call fairplay, and it translates into loving yourself, because you then have nothing to fear from anyone.
We shall learn what these simple words peace, love and unity, which people throw about casually, really mean.
