@UDAPartyKe Not this time, already I can't afford my SHA, UDA has brought poverty to many families. Let me pass.
My contribution to Nhf used to be 7200 per yr with SHA am paying 40000 per yr. Bottom up system killing us. Sina chuki.
The passing on of Prof. Ngùgì Wa Thiong’o has orphaned Africa; we, the students of literature, have borne it all.
Prof. Ngùgì was one in many; a mentor, a teacher, a prolific writer, a poet, an honest man, and a great political animal.
Ngùgì’s great works of literature among them; The River Between, Weep Not Child, A Grain of Wheat, I Will Marry When I Want, Devil on the Cross, Decolonizing the Mind, Wizard of the Crow, Matigari, Dreams in the Time of War, among others have created an original African desire, identity and the African literary philosophy.
If a literary genius ever lived who has inspired my world of literary language and communication, may it be the use of symbolism, figurative language, metaphors, metonymy, poetry, that genius is Prof. Ngùgì Wa Thiong’o.
The African literary champion never shied from writing in his native language and his quest to tell the African story through the African lens. This inspiration lives on through works like Matigari, Ngahìka Ndeenda, Caitaani Mutharaba-Inì among others, true to African heroism.
I have enjoyed reading his works among them; Caitani Mutharaba-ini, Maitu Njugira, Ngahika Ndeenda, Mùrogi Wa Kagogo, and Petals of Blood.
His inspiration to me went beyond the classroom into my political world; when I left office late last year, I read and re-read his book, ‘A Grain of Wheat’. His Words, “…then nobody noticed it; but looking back, we can see that waiyaki’s blood contained within it a seed, a grain, which gave birth to a movement…”
May Prof. Ngugi wa Thiong’o rest in peace. My sympathies to his family.
Dear Ruto, what happens after #MaandamanoThursdays then MONDAY? Will you do SOMETHING or KILL someone? ARRESTING Raila will not WORK. But it is WORTH trying. You NEED to TEST the LIMITS of our DEMOCRACY. It is JUST an EXPERIMENT. Or is It?
Hon Raila's countrywide demonstrations are his last roll of the dice to extort something out of President William Ruto. This time, he will meet his Waterloo and will spend his last miserable days in Saint Helena.
The government of Kenya is employing 100 people to be praying for the nation. What will be their terms of reference? How will they be appraised? Will they employ Muslims and Hindus or it’s just Christians? This is stealing in the name of the Lord.
The lords of tribalism and poverty who are masters/beneficiaries of political violence are very mad at the unbowed HUSTLER Movement. Why? The HUSTLERS have refused the tribe configuration and INSTEAD they want a conversation on their individual HUSTLES which are tribeless.
