Human beings are a very narrow lot, forgive my reference.
There’s this NGO type ninja(ress) that will come to you with this narrative on how politicians wine and dine together, do business together and sheed, so the poor should avoid clashing because of politics, which is true and realistic advise by the way. Abeg: the poor also carry out business together regardless of tribe, mind you, and they do not have problems with each other until the politicians check in. Ukienda hapo Kenyatta Market, butchery ya beef and mutton ni ya Wakanyaks, na hiyo butchery ingine ya samak ni ya mjaka; Wakanyaks akitaka change ya kumpa customer, anauliza hapo kwa mjaka. And yes, the politicians too fight and kill each other. Don’t be lied to that they do not. Those are NGO type stories of giants. If it was true that they do not fight, TM, JM, Pio Gama Pinot, Robert Ouko and so on would not have been killed. The loss of life among the poor is usually higher because they are many. We have lost a number of politicians and highly placed individuals in the recent past for unknown reasons… JJ, Muchai… How many of you run companies together with close friends from other tribes? I am sure ni wengi sana. Most of you trust jaluo mechs with your very priced automobiles. Jana mlishinda na Koech akiwawekelea round after round mezani. Na wewe Nganga pia ukarusha zako. Kwani hiyo sio ku-wine and dine together? UPUSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Wengi wenu mna mpango wa kandos who are not from your tribe na mkiamka mnaanza kujamiana na watu Ktalk ati juu watu wa tribe ya huyo MWK wanasupport sijui nani. Back in 2007/08 when Kenya reached that point of madness, some kyuk guy who was drunk bumped into some jaluo’s car in the estate. Pandemonium wouldn’t even begin to describe the kind of hell the jaluo raised. This was somewhere in one of the middle class estates. These two guys were from adjacent courts and were drinking buddies, lakini kwavile jaluo ilikuwa annoyed na politics of the day, ikashika nari na kuanza kuwa mkali badala ya kuangalia at the incident as an accident, which is actually what it was juu the accident happened at a blind spot. Politics is life, and each and every one of us has the duty to partake of it. Ujinga ni kushika feelings kama cartoon flani huwa zinafanya ati juu mwanasiasa wa kwenu amechapwa gambit wazimu kwa the game of chess that is politricks. WHO AM I FOOLING?! CAN YOU ALL GO BACK TO FIGHTING EACH OTHER AS USUAL, COOMERNINA ZENU.
Tuseme ni hayo tu kwa sasa. Wacha nijaribu kusaidika na hii hangover sasa.
I also hate these poeple who keep saying that “it is only in Kenya that bla bla bla…” have you been to other countries and confirmed that this is not the case? There is no country which is 100% united.
Race is an issue in US
An MP was killed the other day in Britain
China-Hong Kong manenos
Religion in Nigeria etc
Hiyo ya gari kutengenezwa na jaluo is true. Otis usema gari yangu ni yetu, he inspected it before i bought, he has handled all repairs since and know almost by instinct when i will bring it to him for some repair.
There are some tasks that I only assign Luo fundis since they will do the best out of it. And we jokingly call each other names and diss each other about our political choices, women, food et al.
After work today am meeting a Luo friend at a joint frequented mainly by Luos.
If I meet you there I will throw you a round, whether you are Luo or Luhya.
But when babuon acts like a neanderthal, I won’t hesitate to point it out.
Lets not sugar coat issues here. Its a fact that most of us hate guys from the next tribe because we have been conditioned by our tribal kings to be so. Kujifanya ati we are our own man/men/women is a lie na mnajua. Just to prove my point let one keyboard warrior start a post about Raia mkuu and see how fast it degenerates.
A lot of issues with Raila actually point to a consistently driven ideology. Just listen in to any of the leading Kyuk stations like Kameme in the morning. Theirs is a Mourning Show, not Morning Show! The ideology is reinforced hard every other day so to the growing youth, it is hard-wired into their brains!
But you cannot limit it to Raila alone. Even a few of us CORD supporters wake up every day to point issues with Uhuru. So really, it is prevalent on both sides of the divide.
Why are u talking about Kameme morning show and its tribalism and you don’t tune in in the morning like I do? Hii mambo ya kuimba chorus juu wengine wanaimba tuwache.
I usually find it funny to read on social media that Kameme morning show is propagating tribalism yet that whole morning no political issue was being discussed. These are the people who regurgitate Alai’s propaganda without any proof.
