Dear Kikuyu young men and women , for your father to bless you he has to first pay the dowry for your mother . He cannot bless you if there are debts owed to your mother's side . The man that pays your mothers dowry is your father . Those men you are going to look for in keg bars in gachie have nothing for you . Before you embark on foolishness ask your elders for guidance.

A childhood friend, Jimmy, died yesterday after long struggle with alcohol. He was the only kid that I thought would go to heaven when we were in sunday school.
This is the fourth man in the neighbourhood we will bury in three weeks as a direct result of alcohol.
I listened to Malebo on Wednesday. I finqlly felt I understood what Munishi meant. Nothing pains like seeing someone close go down the drain. Munishi sees religion as the escape, but it doesn't have to be.

The level of cheating, especially, is enough cause for worry to anyone who cares.
Cheating in the form of walking in with the answers, or having someone do the paper for you.
When I find time, I will write why I think as a society we are headed to the worst epoch. From my interactions with university students, we currently have the worst generation ever, overflowing with entitlement, laziness, dumbness and dishonesty.
In every class- you have three thirds- first one want to learn, second aren't sure of anything and the last one are chronically dishonest or criminals.
In the end, majority of the students we are teaching at public universities don't want to learn- so won't attend classes or read instead hope to cheat their way out. When they cheat, they are not likely to get correct answers and are not smart enough to realise or be discreet about it. So they end up being easily caught. When caught, they are the weakest ducklings you've seen. They cry, pee on themselves, while others suffer 'rigor mortis'!
University students are a great sample to tell you the pulse of a generation. Yet, this is the generation that says they will change the nation and the world for better.
Something very unfortunate is happening in the land of gikùyù . We are having Kikuyu elders who are bachelors. They dnt start off like this and they are not widowers. When they come they are family men which is a requirement it's second to being circumcised. Then along the way they divorce or in most cases the wives leave them. In a recent ceremony 10 of the 15 in attendance were bachelors,It's a full on epidemic.
Now we are here wondering,what do we do ,there is no play book for this phenomenon.The function of the council of elders is to guide and lead the community into the future, without children there is no future .
This are weird times we living in . Meanwhile let me take my chairlady hapo gitaru chicken inn akule kuku na ice cream I dnt want to join the problem.
There is a saying in Kikuyu that says . " Mwana wìna ithe danyuaga muma " . It means that a child does not swear while they have a father . This is because incase they do what they have sworn to never do ,the consequences should fall on their father including death . This meant that the older generation was willing to put down their lives for the young .
It pains my soul to see young people dying for a few old rich people to get richer . If there are curses ,if there is devine punishment I pray that all the wealth and power they have accrued by the spilling of blood ,may it not see past the next generation. May they shed 100 tears where one drop fell.
