@kothgomdos Ajumaa's fame rose after death of Mboya.

@davidjesse_ These fools are not aware of the diversity in culture. What is a custom and customary law for a Luos
is alien for the Akwapim . Most of these circumsised fellows are drowning in alcohol and are messing themselves with their mothers and sisters. A great Chira/ taba in our land!

[Owino Kaluoch @Enoughfellows]

Mboya was a great schemer, a real strategist & orator who thwarted Jaramogi Oginga Odinga with his money. Jaramogi pushed had by ensuring Mboya doesn't become the president. He financed the slogan "Uhuru na Kenyatta" against Mboya's " Kenyatta na Uhuru"

I just wonder; WHAT IF…? Thomas Joseph Mboya aka ‘Sungura Mjanja’ was only 39 years old when assassin Nahashon Njenga ended his life on July 5, 1969 along Moi Avenue (then Government Road). Mboya’s mind and skills could not be matched and there was absolutely no political method of stopping his eventual rise to power. A thinker and schemer, a mobilizer and orator - he had it all. And that frustrated his rivals who chose a bullet that forever ensured his qualities were put to eternal rest. Continue RIP TJ Mboya.

@ProfMacharia @lynn_ngugi1 Ajumaa twisted the slogan "Kenyatta na Uhuru to Uhuru na Kenyatta" to punish Tom Mboya and prove him wrong. His greed would later bring him problem with the same Kenyatta.

[Owino Kaluoch @Enoughfellows]

The biggest lie in history we consumed was that Jaramogi Oginga Odinga voluntarily out goodwill left power for Kenyatta! Actually Jaramogi Oginga Odinga out of envy denied and worked had to stop power from Western & Nyanza. He was the enemy of our people. This is the history 👇🏾

[Owino Kaluoch @Enoughfellows]

@ProfMacharia @lynn_ngugi1 In the first Lancaster house in London in 1958 Mboya had a meeting with JFK and he didn't go, upon landing in USA, the reporters who had been insighted by Ajumaa asked of his opinion on Kenyatta. He said " tunataka Kenyatta na tunataka Uhuru" He had been already named as K1..

This book by an investigative journalist, really dag deep about Joseph Kony.

[Charles Onyango-Obbo @cobbo3]

40 Years On, Uganda’s LRA Leader Kony Could Be Eating Nyama Choma Beside the Men Hunting Him
Forty years ago, in late August 1986, government forces (the National Resistance Army's 35th Battalion) and rebel factions clashed in Kitgum District, northern Uganda, killing dozens of civilians in what became known as the Namokora Massacre. It ignited regional dynamics that gave rise to Joseph Kony's brutal Lord's Resistance Army (LRA).
The LRA, and the NRA (renamed the Uganda People's Defence Forces, UPDF, under the 1995 constitution), were both blamed for atrocities against civilians. One of the LRA's most notorious late-August massacres occurred exactly eleven years later, in late August 1997: the Lokung Massacre, in which over 60 civilians were killed.
By 2002, after 16 years of war, the LRA had largely been defeated by the UPDF and driven out of northern Uganda. It fled into South Sudan, then into northeastern DR Congo, where it established bases in Garamba National Park from September 2005, operating heavily until around 2011 before being scattered.
By early 2008, the LRA had also spread into the Central African Republic (CAR), with its first major raids there hitting the town of Obo in February 2008.
Ugandan forces followed the LRA into both the DRC and CAR, and the pursuit made international headlines in 2011 when US President Barack Obama deployed American Special Forces to assist African Union troops, effectively the Ugandan army, in the effort to capture or kill Kony. The hunt wound down when Uganda and the US withdrew their forces in early 2017.
To date, it remains unclear whether Kony is alive or dead. His LRA now surfaces only occasionally, mostly in eastern DRC, to slaughter civilians. It remains to be seen whether Yoweri Museveni, in his 42nd year ruling Uganda, will write Kony's obituary, or whether Kony, if he's still alive, will write his.
But there's a curious twist to the hunt for Kony. A friend who works as a human rights researcher, and who has documented the LRA's atrocities in eastern DRC and CAR, tracked the Ugandan and American pursuit of the rebel leader closely, particularly in CAR's eastern and southeastern prefectures of Haut-Mbomou, Mbomou and Haute-Kotto, where the LRA operated.
He came across several roadblocks manned by CAR troops set up specifically to catch Kony. He showed the soldiers photographs of Kony. Not one of them recognised him. He had a similar experience in DRC, though there he occasionally met officers who did.
It raises an odd possibility. If Kony is alive and hiding out in CAR, he could well be eating nyama choma at a joint in some small town right now, with none of the patrons, or the soldiers looking for him, any the wiser.
