🚨🎙️Didier Drogba: "African Teams Cannot Keep Paying The Price"

With what I'm hearing, I don't think this is heading in the right direction.

First, Ghana could be without Thomas Partey for an important match because of issues unrelated to the competition. That's a huge setback, not just for the team but for the entire country.

Now we're hearing reports of Senegalese fans facing visa difficulties. How is that fair? Imagine playing one of the biggest matches of your life without the support of your fans in the stadium.

Football is about competition, atmosphere and national pride. Supporters are part of that experience.

I think something has to be done and adjusted immediately because, from where I'm standing, it feels like African teams and African supporters are the ones being affected the most.

Where is the parliamentary legislation that allows the government to import sick Americans into our sovereign territory?

Our forefathers prayed under trees, on rocks, on mountains, by the rivers and God acknowledge their supplication.

Nowadays, we want to pray inside billion-dollar diamond buildings.

God is not interested in your material wealth. He is interested in your character. — Your soul.

The only solution to Kenya's problems is THE STREETS.

Nothing else.

• Learn from previous failures

• Occupy Parliament again

• Punch, stone, and whip MPs thoroughly

• Stay put until the bread-based mongrel is exterminated

• Chase away the peacock & her wild geese

Otherwise, the rest is Psyop sponsored by the state to keep you busy and distracted.

MPs are our biggest problem. Once we get rid of them, the rest will take care of itself.

RURALISM:

Rural-bred people leave their rural homes to go seek better opportunities in the city.

Once they access the power structures in the city, they destroy the philosophy, aesthetics, and cultures of the city.

They want to drive modern SUVs and wear expensive designer clothes, shoes, and apparel while still stuck in their rural mentality.

That is why you see them wear expensive suits that still have price tags on them.

— Or you see rural-bred women wear expensive clothes and shoes that don't match their body frame and end up looking like scarecrows.

When they are elected as city politicians or appointed as senior government officials, they promote thuggery, disorder, and chaos in the city.

They grew up in the scarcity rural mindset while envying their city colleagues.

For example, you saw it in high school how rural-bred prefects hated "Nairobians."

So, when these rural bred people go to the city, their rural brains refuse to be congruent with the philosophy of city life.

It is them who flout traffic rules, litter refuse recklessly, cause noise in the estates, and engage in crime.

If you were born in a rural society like me, once you earn something from the city, leave the city for city-bred people.

Go back to your rural community and be their beacon of hope.

Don't destroy the city with your ruralism. Let the city dwellers build their city.

Kenya's crooked politicians went for a "prayer breakfast" to gossip about social media and how to control it.

This is how Romans 1:29–32 describes these wicked politicians:

They are filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness.

They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless.

Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.

Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o is Kenya's celebrated novelist.

Despite being one of the most celebrated authors in Afrika promoting Indigenous literature, he never won the coveted global prize — the Nobel Peace Prize in Literature.

He was 87 years old.

May his soul rest in peace

In 2013, when the government sought to silence Shackles of Doom, a bold play by Cleophas Malala performed by Butere Girls, I took a stand. I filed Petition No. 192 of 2013, and the High Court, in a decisive ruling by Justice David Majanja, affirmed that students have the right to speak, to challenges, and to create. The ban was struck down.

Now, over a decade later, Echoes of War by the same Butere girls, faces similar resistance at the national level. This is not just about one play, it’s about defending the very right to free expression in our education system.

The executive must understand that our Constitution guarantees freedom of thought and expression and is not guaranteed by permission. This isn’t a matter of opinion, it’s the law.
The classroom is not a cage. Our stages must remain free.

The 2013 ruling stands as a reminder that no government can silence the voices of the youth and its citizens.
We will not stand by while those in power attempt to stifle creativity, expression and the right to challenge the status quo.

Let them speak, create and inspire without fear of retribution!
Haki yao, sauti yao!

30 years ago,

Our flag 🇰🇪 was sacrosanct.

At 6 AM, all police stations raised the flag,

At 6 PM, all police stations lowered the flag,

A stern whistle was blown, and every citizen was expected to stand alert, silently, in respect of our flag.

But nowadays,

No citizen respects our flag.

No politician respects our flag.

Nobody cares.

When a whistle is blown in our institution to hoist or lower the flag, nobody takes notice.

Our flag is a symbol of our shared values and philosophy.

Politicians don't care about the value of our flag. They don't even know the national anthem.

Let us not be like them.

Let us respect our flag.

Governance SYSTEMS in this country are designed to FAIL, by allowing avenues of LOOTING state resources by leaders & creating DEMIGODS whose agenda is to GRAB as much as they can so that during elections they BUY you to VOTE for them again! The cycle goes on and on. Be VIGILANT!

[Citizen TV Kenya @citizentvkenya]

Richard Onyonka: The Auditor General reported that the SHA system is opaque. We do not know who the owners are neither do we know where our health data is kept. Why are we spending Ksh. 10 B a year to run a system which 2 boys from Strathmore would have run efficiently?
