When a MAN falls, don't celebrate.
Don't mock their struggles.
Sit. Pause. Learn.
Men learn through other men's experiences. Wins and losses are vital lessons.
Listen. Learn. Live.
Between the boomers and millennials, there is a generation that is the cause of our problems.
Gen X.
Born between 1965 and 1980.
They are the parents of ZILLENIALS and Gen Z.
These are the people addicted to evangelical churches, classic FM and Facebook.
They still read newspapers and tune in to the BBC at 6PM.
They are rabidly tribal, worship permanent job employment, and so they forge academic and professional documents to ascend lucrative job groups.
They don't want to retire; they are career employees.
They are the most toxic managers at work with outdated ideas.
Their leadership style is holding daily office meetings, and since someone taught them about Zoom, they also hold virtual meetings even on holidays.
These meetings amount to nothing but them reminding employees about appraisal forms and reporting time.
They are extremely corrupt.
They bribe their way through opportunities. They dislike meritocracy and openly hate people who qualify through hard work and merit.
They sell ancestral land to disinherit their children yet their fathers bequeathed them free land.
At home, if it is a man, his wife has conquered him. She runs the house, and he is so scared to confront her.
If it is a woman, she is endlessly angry, chaotic and choleric, but so holier than thou on Sunday in church.
They teach their children bad manners because they want them to become rich overnight.
The Gen X are the root cause of our political, economic, and social collapse.
This is the "hear nothing, see nothing, do nothing" generation.
Docile generation!
Last Friday, one of my staff informed me that she had just take her shahada at Adams Arcade Masjid—I congratulated her warmly… yet a heavy sense of responsibility instantly weighed on me.
It flashed me back 36 yrs to Egerton Uni: when a student eager to convert asked a famously humourous senior brother to take him to the masjid.
The brother reportedly told him: 'First find out if there's any dead Muslim you can replace, then I'll take you.' 😄
When we confronted him, he explained seriously: he wanted to test the young man's commitment. Reverts carry a huge responsibility—we must support them to learn the deen properly. He joked that those of us not fully serious about our own practice shouldn't go round looking for converts.
That lesson hit harder today. May Allah protect & strengthen every revert, and grant us the taqwa to truly carry this amana. Ameen 🤲
If you think this current wave is solely about Sifuna, you are wrong.
It's not about Sifuna. It's about the principles and ideals that the person in Sifuna stands for. It's about issues that Kenyans consider pertinent and close to their hearts. It's about the need for a Renaissance. It's about hunger for good governance, social justice, constitutionalism, dignity, rule of law, democracy, and "WE THE PEOPLE"
#MimiNdioSifuna is not a mere political chant. It's a communication from the people of Kenya that there's a Kenya they so desire, and it can't be achieved through the current political establishment. Kenyans are intimating to the whole world that they now more ready than ever to embrace Nationalism and unity against autocratic and repressive regimes their diversity notwithstanding. It is a sign that change is indeed nigh.
Kenyans from all walks of life are stamping authority and saying in one accord that "All sovereign power belongs to the people..."
This is what it's about. CHANGE.
Join the caravan and fight for something. Fight for you, your child(ren), our generation, and future generations.
When the cause is just, Conquer we must.
