In front of you is Trevor Ombija. Remove the official suits and kizungu mingi, and you might easily mistake him for an employee of HEHA Movers handling logistics. This guy was bright, composed and mature when he was a journalist at Royal Media Services. All was well until he crossed the Rubicon into politics.
Nowadays his bass has entered campaign mode, throwing political words around like mare kwa mare guys. His latest remarks accusing Gachagua of trying to get him fired has landed him into hot soup. A man who once interviewed politicians about integrity issues is now discovering that politics comes with its own liability of Selective Memory.
Trevor appears to have discovered the oldest shortcut in Kenyan politics,, if you don't have enough manifesto, find a political enemy and make him your manifesto. For Luo Nyanza, Gachagua has become the unpaid campaign manager.
Kenyan politicians have mastered the formula of tribalism. In Luo Nyanza, you don't even need a page of development plan. Just enter the rally, grab the microphone and shout Gachagua or Ohuru, you will win with a landslide.
In order to get elected in Broadbased regions, you just accuse Gachagua of anything... just anything. That's the manifesto. Same case applied when Raila was an opposition leader, he was a manifesto for Murima aspirants.
The funniest part is that after all this political gymnastics, the same politicians will return to Nairobi and announce that they are marginalized. In Luo Nyanza, the manifesto is not what you will do for the people, but who you will blame for everything.
That's why you find a lady like Alionya blaming Kamau who operates a hardware for the shortage of milk in Kenya,, bcoz she was made to believe that all their problems started with Okuyo's existence. May Yehova Wanyonyi remember the poor pipoos of Nyakach. Kama kawa sisi walala hoii hatuna maoni, Letu Jicho tu.👀
Bruno Fernandes is suffering from over-availability.
I remember players like Kelvin De Bruyne, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Andrés Iniesta, Xavi Hernández, Xabi Alonso, Paul Scholes, Zinedine Zidane, and so on.
They were great players and were among the best midfielders in the world.
But you know why the fans revered them so highly? It's because the fans always missed them.
As great as they were, they showed that part of being human — they always got injured most of the time.
And when they were out for a certain period of time, their clubs began to struggle without them because their absence usually left an irreplaceable void in the team.
So this made the fans miss them so much and appreciate their presence whenever they were on the pitch.
City struggled many times under Pep Guardiola without De Bruyne and whenever he was back they sang his praises.
Manchester United struggled under Sir Alex Ferguson without Paul Scholes, especially when he retired, the fans missed him, SAF missed him too, and had to call him out of retirement and this even made the fans appreciate his presence more.
Bruno Fernandes ever since he set foot in the Premier League has been the best player in the league.
He broke/and is still breaking so many records.
He's among the greatest midfielders in the Premier League and in the world at large
He's important to Manchester United and is the best thing to ever happen to the club post SAF.
Bruno is never injured. Always available. Always giving his all. Plays like a robot.
But do you know why some of our fans don't like him? This has something to do with psychology.
They call it habituation in psychology. That is: when someone is constantly available, their presence can become psychologically taken for granted. What was once special becomes ordinary.
There's even a saying in my culture that goes “Too much availability breeds disrespect.”
This is what Manchester United fans who don't like Bruno are suffering from. I don't blame them either. It takes a person with very strong cognitive reasoning and a great sense of appreciation not to fall into that psychological trap.
In sports psychology, there's something called performance variability: this is when a player can't maintain peak performance in every game. Sometimes because of high workloads and fatigue. Sometimes because of a high number of games played.
Bruno plays 10 consecutive matches, he is excellent in all of them. Then in the 11th, 12th, and 13th matches, he has bad games. That is normal and not worth criticism, that is performance variability occurring.
Bruno Fernandes has spent over 6 years at United with 216 G/A (110 goals and 106 assists).
This is not a small feat for a midfielder, and he wouldn't have achieved this if he hadn't been consistently good.
Since he joined the club till this moment, his good performance ratio has always been higher than his bad performance ratio and that is why you will never see me criticize him, and when I do, it’s always constructive.
We might call him a robot but at the end of the day he's still a human and he's not immune to mistakes.
His over-availability is a blessing to us. Let's not turn it into a curse for him.
Bruno is a rare gem and one of a kind.
When he's gone, we look back, miss him, and appreciate the times he spent with us and wish we had appreciated him more.
Let's respect our legend now that he's still with us.
I have never understood Enzo Fernandez hype
Can he control tempo? Or Rhythm?
Is he creative? Good ball carrier?
Is that great in passing?
Is he a good goalscorer?
A good free kick taker?
Good defensively?
Based on what I see, the only thing he's good at is passing the other things that a World Class midfielder should be doing he's average
For me he's just an okay midfielder but fans overrate him... People speak as if Enzo is the Pedri or Rodri of this world
He's good but you over hype him so much
If you think outside the box you will come to a sense of @MutuaAbel really talked sense of what affecting him as a content creator in kenya sometimes lets not take the first answer as the best answers or what "some people disagrees with " as if is what's right wengine wako kazi
If you went to a Gov't run public school that doubled up as a derelict polling station, Abel Mutua says those juvenile delinquents who used to write on toilet walls are same ones who've now turned social media into a bullying echo chamber. Huyu jamaa ameamua kushuka na kila mtu.
