A line of dead guys shaking hands…weird af
He knew the way but never had the means to lead people through. In his 24 years rule, he had the opportunity to develop the country’s manufacturing industry and improve the country’s balance of trade. Instead, he created an environment that killed the local industries.
His fellow billionaires only invested in real estate and agriculture, nothing to create mass employment in the country.
Just imagine if you listened to him and started your Facebook or Twirra…
In 2002 internet was a mirrage in kenya
Even if you started Twitter in Kenya it could not have become the behemoth it is today… The owners of capital are those guys in the West and other rich nations… Unless it was started by a Kenyan with Western connections and swiftly sold to them… we simply do not have the ability to achieve the same thing for a truly native startup… M-Pesa is really not a Kenyan thing but Vodafone’s… Equity is an exception but is nothing close to Twitter…
So can be said to some good quality hits from Kenya. Kuna mziki 50cent alitoa, sounded like the Akamba/Gikuyu guitar and it topped the world charts. Kina nameless and Clemo’s team had some really great and better hits that didnt go over the border, Za bongo the farthest they’ve been to ni kenya. Wakadinali and similar groups got something . Something really big, but i dont see them in those charts/Record sales. If done in the free world then chances of succeeding are higher. if done in kenya, all the govt wants is Tax from your Skiza tunes income
Exactly! If one wants to succeed to such levels as Twitter, Facebook, etc, let them launch their novel products in the USA, Europe, etc… and have some locals promote their products… You will be shocked to realize even the so-called Kenyan products are actually owned by Wazungu who coin Kenyan names and make it look Kenyan, then promote the product in their home country to receive capital from investors there… example: Cheki, M-Kopa, Copia, Jumia, Pigiame, etc
The hindrance then was not even the inability to start and scale a start up but a knock on your office by the likes of Gideon or Kanyottu or Biwott demanding that you give them shares or close.

Refresh your history. Hakungoja, he asked why. They responded by locking him away without trial, for 8 years. Koigi as well was banished to freeze in Norway. Mo1 alikuwa wrong number.
Raila was locked up in 2002?
No, much earlier, 1982, after the abortive coup, 1988 and 1990. He has always been a brazen govt critic, and that wasn’t encouraged because that time was a one-party rule era. A clause in The Constitution then (what was called Section 2 (a) ) didn’t allow multiparty politics. Raila was one of the people pushing for that to be changed so people could have the right to dissent, and for a long time–till 1992–Mo1 was having none of it, so saying things weren’t right meant you were anti-gava, and you stuck out like a sore thumb. He campaigned for Kibaki (coining the ‘Kibaki tosha’ saying) to take over from Moi in 2002.
Kanyotu blue pill viagra ndio iliua yeye. He thought he was untouchable even in health matters. He had diabetic na blood pressure. Bado ghasia wanted to play Russian roulette with his life.
We could have, but let’s admit it, we had a chance but we didn’t grab it. Internet availability (however expensive it was then) still made the world a global village.
Elon Musk developed PayPal when he was still holed up in Seuth Efrike and sold it for big bucks. Look at him now…
No. Elon Musk established X.Com in 1998 while in Canada having moved there in 1989… But either way he is not a black man based in Africa without any Western connections… His mother is Canadian and father South African engineer… He was still privileged in this way… His family was very wealthy even in the 70s… " When Musk was a child, his adenoids were removed because doctors suspected that he was deaf, but his mother later decided that he was thinking “in another world.”[19] The family was very wealthy in Elon’s youth; Errol Musk once said, “We had so much money at times we couldn’t even close our safe”.[12] Elon’s father was also elected to the Pretoria City Council as a representative of the anti-apartheid Progressive Party, with the Musk children reportedly sharing their father’s dislike of apartheid.[20] "
