If you want to know where nationhood goes to die, listen to vernacular radio stations (and increasingly TV).
I listened to Kameme FM between Jan and June this year and I could not take it anymore.
The hate and entitlement spewed at will on those platforms is on another level. I also imagine that is the same hate spewed on other stations but I do not have access to those stations.
Sadly, the one dominant message I always hear is 'Tutingīathūo ni kabira' (we can never be ruled by other tribes). Not that it has not happened in the past, not that there is a divine right to rule over others or least to never be ruled by others.
It usually starts with "andū aya maraigua ruthiomi rūrū" and spirals down from there. What do other vernacular radios indoctrinate their communities with because clearly this is not just a Gikuyu affair?
