Now there used to be this chap called Ochuodho_j on K-list? alienda wapi? ochuodho_j uko hapa? I hope hajakufa UKIMWI ama had his transformer chopped off ama alikufa Post election violence hihi. Life sometime is funny.Even during the last days of Kenyanlist, I never saw the chap but they used to talk a lot I think with Wanderi. Talking of Wanderi, I can’t believe the chap is no more. It’s hard to believe Kenyanlist was there last year. I think it went off around January 3 or 4th 2015(last year) a few days before Fidel kicked the bucket. Wanderi was a cool and brilliant chap and I know this because I used to engage the chap but ubaya ni whenever he disagreed with one’s post he either flagged or deleted one’s post. R.I.P Wanderi. Now back to Ochuodho_j, he used to be a very active contributor on Kenyanlist and I used to enjoy his Musings and posts but I could tell the chap was Old probably in his fortes or fiftes probably more. Alikuwa akijiita Professa, not sure if that was just a nick name or just real but I suspect he was a Kaprofessa huko Stato na alikuwa jang’o, si u jua how jango’s in general are brilliant and smart chaps no doubt. Siwes pinga hiyo.
I remember how I stumbled on Kenyanlist by mistake. Ilikuwa during the Post election violence ya 2007 and Kenyanlist used to be my source of news as the Main stream media ilikuwa blackout wakionyesha doctored results so Kenyanlist was the source of information as info flowed first hand chap chap, K-list used to be the place to be if you wanted to know what was happening in the Dark corners of Kenya, hamkuwa na unnecessary hate speech but guys handled the situation constructively which I liked. What I liked about Wanderi is he never tolerated hate speech during that period unless it was constructive criticism. Now I was a member of K-list for about 6 years until it died last year.First it used to be Mashada in the early 2000’s then Kenyanlist took over and reigned supreme for about 10 years before Kenyatalk took over( I stand to be corrected on this)
I’m glad the founder of Kenya Talk realised it might not be a smart idea to have just one admin. Juu unaeza kufa anytime, you can have your transformer chopped off ama hiyo Tusker iget spiked ukienda msalani(Choo) halafu kwisha maneno or uloose Sportpesa halafu ujinyonge. You just never know. Kenyanlist died because it only had one admin Wanderi himself and when he expired so did Kenyanlist. That site had a trove of valuable treasure dating back to the early 2000’s just around the time when Moi left after ruling +254 for 24 years with an iron fist.
What I found amusing was how guys used to use Simba1, Simba 2, Paka 1, Paka 2,Panya 1, Panya 2 to describe Kenya’s chain of Command from the Prezzo all the way down. I think these terms were used immediately after vita za 2007 election to avoid unnecessary drama hehe.Good times though. I know there are a few chaps of Kenyanlist hapa and based on their thought processes, I think I know about one to four lakini i’m not 100% sure.I’m sure if Kenyanlist was active today, ingekuwa na around 50,000+ members but that’s just my hypothesis. I think it had between 10,000 and 20,000 members when it went down under (I stand to be corrected again) But this site has the potential to reach the 20,000 mark in about 5 years as Smartphones become cheaper and internet access becomes available to even Shoshos. Siku hizi even Grand mathes have access to the internet. Ngai! Yawa!!!
