CALLING 4 DIVINE INTERVENTION

This is a prayer for Kenya and the people of this nation to the almighty to intervene on our behalf during this general elections.

It has reached a point that Kenyans have become so desperate that we are not thinking straight and there is a possibility of voting wrongly out of this.

I pray therefore that God may visit each and every voter during the voting day and show them the light because its not only our lives that are at stake but also of those who cannot vote due to various reasons.

We should never trust those sweet words from politicians, most of this politicians we are following so religiously are nothing but mean selfish individuals who are only after their own interests.

Let us open our eyes and realise that Raila, Kibaki,Kalonzo and several others are all the same crop,nevertheless we need a president next year.

My prayer therefore is to ask God to lead us as we vote, for the prosperity of this nation and our lives , GOD IS ABLE.

KIBAKI OR RAIRA ?

Clearly as of now its going to be a two horse race to the house on the hill and who ever wins its going to be their victory { family and close associates } , nothing for us will have changed.
We will just go back to our homes probably exited or disappointed for no good reason, the reality the next day when we go back to our usual life struggles will strike and strike hard; that nothing really changed.

Kenyans are becoming desperate , nobody will ever come to us and do magic in our lives apart from us, lets all work toward improving our lives and those of our families and spend less time politicking.

Whoever wins , RAILA or KIBAKI for us commoners its hustling as usual this people are not different they are the same crop as a matter of fact the only win we can have as Kenyans is if all the current politicians leave the scene.

If Raila wins for example he will protect Kibaki , Moi, Uhuru and even Ringera , you heard his recent retreat on Moi's , why do this people treat us like animals in a circus .

THE WAY FORWARD IN KENYAS POLITICAL SCENE

Without tending towards the extreme i think Kenyans have been patient enough with our politicians until they have become what they are today , {evil} we are trapped and there is nothing we can do about it [technically].

I say this becoz :

{1} we cannot boycott against them we need them to tell us to do that , of course they will never do that

{2} we cannot wish away politics , we need politicians its the way democracy works world over ... good politicians.

{3} we can never vote all of them out and replace them with a new group which will have been vetted .

{4} we cannot change the constitution without them to make them accountable and answerable to the people of Kenya {literally}.


The list is endless and am sure already you have so many in your mind.

However this is not say that we are helpless there are quite a number of ways out of this, one and my most preferred is through prayers, i think/believe God can help us if truly cry to him passionately . He is able, lets pray for our country not our politicians lets ask God to rescue us from them, they are all the same we need a clean up.

What can we do to keep them away for some time until we put everything in place and then choose fresh vetted, competent, honest, hard working lot ???

TRIBALISM

I recently read an article by the US ambassador talking about the problems that were experienced in the US before they learnt how to live in harmony in comparison to our problems regarding tribalism . What i got from the article is that they recognized everyone , agreed they were different and decided to work towards being Americans without loosing/ignoring their very natural uniqueness. I could not agree more therefore i thought we revisit this post :.......



Allow me to share my thoughts on this topic which i think is wrongly used, understood and misused.

Tribe according to most dictionaries is :a social division of people, division of a society whose members have somethings in common like ancestry and beliefs in other words its one big family.



What am trying to drive at here is that its only natural that we are all tribalists and its okay, this is nothing out of our making just like being alive, let no one lie to themselves that they don't favour one of their own. You don't have to think about it it comes naturally the same way we love members of our immediate family more than our friends, ''charity begins at home'' i didn't make that up.



Most Kenyans will give alot of talk about how they were brought up in a cosmopolitan town and how they bearly speak their mother tongue ( this mostly is a lie and denial or simply narrow mindedness,) i have friends born and brought up in the US and are very good with their mother tongue and proud too.



This topic therefore needs to reviewed especially in Kenya, its not a crime to be born which ever tribe , we should be proud of our tribes first then Kenyans second not the other way round.



we will never be proud to be Kenyans if first, we don't cherish our roots after all being Kenyan is only plastic artificial made by the colonialists with their borders there was nothing called Kenya before that.



Our tribes have been there for thousands of years the white man came the other day and told us we are Kenyans and we should forget our tribes , we should know better by now.



Politicians use tribes to ascend to power and soon after winning they tell us to shun tribalism, this clearly shows that we can use tribalism positively. Lets understand our diversity and that way we can unite being well informed .



The white men will go into a lot of trouble to trace or to keep their family tree, some African Americans spare no coin to trace their origins their tribes, ''Oprah anybody ?''



Your tribe is like your species so to say, you cannot deny that, we do not exist in space nothing does even animals belong to their individual species and a lion will not stop being a lion simply because it was born in a zoo some where in central London ( for those of you who claim not to understand your tribe ).



Come on fellow Kenyans , open your damn half open eyes and see , our strength is in our diversity .

Aaaaaaaah nimechoka !!!! i feel frustrated, some one ? tell me i am wrong...... please!




For the record: Najivunia Kua Mkenya but only najivunia kuwa my tribe kwanza
