Someday in this lifetime, I hope to retire to a 100-acre ranch, far away from the hustle and bustle of any city. Ideally in Laikipia, near a body of water and hills. Solar power, grow my own food, and fish. Drive to Nanyuki in my Ford Ranger (> 1 hours' drive) to buy provisions once a month. Drink whiskey from the bottle, listen to country music beside a bonfire, under the starry night sky. It would be happily ever after.
I am devastated by the allegations of cruelty and brutality that @MukomaWaNgugi has leveled against his father @NgugiWaThiongo_ . My soul weeps for Nyambura, his late mother. In the twilight of his life, the greatest African novelist will never be viewed the same ever again. His chances of ever being @NobelPrize laureate have vanished. Racists will seize on the allegations to reinforce their false narratives about Black men as brutal savages. Yet the allegations don’t square up with Ngugi, the pre-eminent revolutionary writer and thinker. I unreservedly condemn gender-based violence. That said, Ngugi’s liberatory works are written in the sands of time and can never be erased. It couldn’t have been easy for Mukoma to write what he did, and I am sure he will endure antipathy but also be bathed in empathy. But most of all, my most emotive thoughts are with the late heroic, stoic, and valiant Nyambura. Let’s all learn profound lessons from this tragic story.
Adulting is not easy, and I do not mean paying bills. I mean making decisions with an understanding that your life will largely be determined by them. Waking up daily & you have to make decisions about work, relationships, academics, faith, next move. Adulthood shows how helpless we can be without God, wake up, make those decisions... Good morning.
This man is selfless
He is NOT in this for the money. Late Waenis case has really traumatized him and he deserves a break with his better half.
If you known to him he has a weekend at @SaltLickLodge Salt Lick Safari Lodg to relax and unwind. Dr Oduor you deserve it.
Will pick you from the train @MadarakaExpress station at Voi and you get to experience the most photographed lodge in Kenya and its sister lodge Taita Hills Safari Resort & Spa @Taitahillresort inside Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary @TaitaSanctuary all on Full board.
May Almighty God give him the strength to continue serving humanity .
