@MissMwanyigha's dad on my mind today. #KenyaNchiYetu. Happy Madaraka Day everybody.

22 years later after @NjonjoMue asked same questions, little has changed. We're caught up in a time warp!

Religious leaders in Kenya are drawing huge crowds with promises of healing, wealth, and happiness, but at what cost? In the wake of the Shakahola mass murder, lawyer-theologian @njonjomue examines the role of charismatic religion in modern Kenyan society.

[njonjomue @njonjomue]

Timely recommendations from @ReubenKigame. They should form part of the evidence before a judicial commission of inquiry into religious malpractices to ensure that we never see a repeat of Shakahola.

A new Africa is so necessary… getting by should no longer be the objective

In June 2017, during a memorial service to mark a year since the murder of Willy Kimani, Josephat Mwenda, and Joseph Mururi, @njonjomue spoke with tripartite authority and shone the spotlight on the scourge of extra-judicial killings of poor young Kenyan men by the police.

Abraham begged God to spare Sodom, but he stopped pleading and the city was destroyed.

In Kenya, our current state is a reflection of our own limitations, of the points where we have faltered and surrendered to inertia. But as @njonjomue reminds us, “We cannot afford to stop.”

The life, death and resurrection of Jesus calls the new creation into existence here and now, in the midst of the old.

Rev. Allan Boesak reminds us that when we arrive in heaven, God will ask, "Where are your scars?" If we reply, "I have none," he will ask, "Was there nothing worth fighting for?"

Have a fighting week, won't you?

Picture this: It’s 1983 and 16-year-old @njonjomue is spellbound. He’s just seen an angelic being 😍. Driven by the burning urgency of youth, he approaches her. She welcomes him. They walk, talk and lock lips in a moment of bliss. It’s the beginning of their Alliance love story.

It's been 33 years since Nelson Mandela shook off the shackles of Robben Island and took a breath of sweet, sweet freedom.

@njonjomue captures the essence of this god-like icon, exploring his lasting legacy and his all-too-human flaws.

[njonjomue @njonjomue]

How do we deal with Kenya's original sin of injustice? How do we avoid getting overwhelmed? How do we avoid the temptation of becoming celebrity activists? How do we genuinely pray and work to partner with God in his work of justice?

The way to control people in a democracy, including a nominal one like ours, is not through fear, it's through distraction.

In what ways are we being distracted?

Has Dr @DavidNdii traded-in his public intellectual megaphone for a UDA dog whistle?

@njonjomue thinks Dr Ndii has become “increasingly subservient to State House, providing an ideological rationale for President Ruto’s slow slide into authoritarian populism.” Cc @NjeriBt

We demonstrated to protest an unlawful government shutdown of the 3 main TV stations for 5 days as punishment for covering Raila Odinga's swearing in. We were teargassed, but by end of day, the stations were back on air. Our tears were not shed in vain.

Such a beautiful legend. A Standard we all admired and wanted to emulate. We didn't watch the News; we watched you. We didn't listen to the News; we listened to how you spoke and delivered the News. May the Lord comfort your family and loved ones and give them peace.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Someone needs to hear this: the perfect partner doesn't exist. The perfect relationship doesn't exist. Human beings are flawed. We're all doing the best we can. Release the illusion of perfection and embrace the messy, vulnerable journey we call love.
