Persuasions presented in all your arguments expose very myopic and monolithic political discourse. Am appealed by the senseless ethnic orientation peddled with this. Politics is about personalities, ideologies and principalities yet there comes extraordinary moments in the life of a country when a bold resolve has to taken and defended. The amount of bloodletting that occurred in this country should caution us from indulgences in hate literature. Accuse me of political insanity yes! But many informed Kenyan know too well that this mode of leadership is wrong and should not be tolerated. <br />We all aspire to develop this region and such is not possible with the current circumstances of distrust and wrangles. As an elite, I might care very little about whatever political, social, economic circumstances prevail in my country; yet its a matter of altruism that we can survive or overcome such systems but its done at a cost. This is the reason we become partisan in matters of pluralism....<br />You can love your country better by praising developments but not cherishing retribution and retardation. Propaganda; if am not wrong must target the 'emotions' and not the 'intellect' yet AGAIN..'It must be tailored to the less endowed' that segment I hope is well served by the 'Ethnic FM Radio stations in the country. That population have no access to Blogs and the internet. It therefore insults our wits meeting such a nasty encounter. You are my wonderful friends but I must pick you so that we become better friends. <br /><br />Obiero Stephen.

Women who suffer from ectopic pregnancies will surely die from such death as doctors will not save the woman and expose themselves to criminal liability ( and the ectopic feotus will die anyway). the draft constitution is chauvinistic and the church ought to be merciful to its female congregation.<br /><br />divisive issues like arbotion, when life begins, homosexuality, kadhi's courts are too divisive to be included in the constitution and will rob the document of legitimacy from a wide section of members of the society.<br /><br />Lets only include in the darft constitution issues that we all agree upon, and legislate the rest through an act of parliament.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-49690150981975828052010-02-24T07:42:55.190-08:002010-02-24T07:42:55.190-08:00Chris, thanks for the reminder.

One of the best <i>kinyozi</i> providers I have ever met was a female in Nairobi during my early twenties.<br /><br />I never looked back nor went any where else after running into the <i>kinyozi</i> provider by chance. She was a rarity who could perform real magic-cuts with her clients' hair.<br /><br />She was one of the few <i>kinyozi</i> providers who were very good at taking care of irritable bumps (on <i>kidevu</i> and at the back of the <i>shingo</i>) caused by ingrown hair, and she was also an expert in preventive maintenance when it came to future outbreaks.<br /><br />Guess what, a haircut from her salon at the time was equivalent to a one-way bus ticket to Mombasa.<br /><br />As for stereotypes when it comes to <i>Kamba</i> women, I have to confess that I was once attached to the 1% percent who are not fond of <i>recreational healing</i> when they are in a steady relationship.<br /><br />Rationing was the order of the day (times) and I had to beg for days or even weeks before an offer would be granted. And the worst part of it all was that it always ended up being a one-way treadmill workout event with no ounce of emotion nor reciprocity, whatsoever.<br /><br />Anyway, we moved on into different dirctions, and I later found a very good match who is now my woman, spouse, friend, a happy mother of my four children, and an angel in my life.<br /><br />So, debunk the myths associated with some of our regional stereotypes such as <i>Kamba women</i> being great at gymnasts workouts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-38472386770998223002010-02-24T04:45:01.298-08:002010-02-24T04:45:01.298-08:00Little subtle lies

Oddly enough, those are the areas where Kosgei, and Ruto both high profile members of ODM come from.<br /><br /><br /><br />2. The signing of the NARA accord did not end the violence. The violence had long ended when the two signed. Most kikuyus had been flushed fromt he north RVP and most non Kikuyus had been flushed from the south. the boundary was in Molo. there was no one else left to kill and people had began to run hungry and cold.

First of all I'll tell you that...Fikiria kizee<br /><br />First of all I'll tell you that I don't approach issues in a combative and abusive way like you. Your case of approaching issues sometimes has an effect of making people concentrate on the fight and forget the issue that brought the fight. That's exactly what happened between Raila and Kibaki, all of a sudden anonymous Kumekuchans concentrated on the fight and forgot issues of corruption.<br /><br />To answer the question,"who brought the PEV between December 2007 and January 2008?" I'll give you the answer before giving you details,"Kibaki, late Kenyatta and Moi contributed to it and not Raila". Raila nearly joined later but cooled it down through signing the NARA accord.<br /><br />Look at it like a house that burnt to ashes. Late Kenyatta and Moi brought the fuel and poured on the house, Kibaki lit the fire.<br /><br />The fuel is the tribalism and unequal distribution of government resources that Kenyatta and Moi perpetrated. Kibaki added more fuel by continuously supporting this status quo. <br /><br />Moi, through tribalism, appointed Kalenjins in high levels of government institutions. Kibaki, through the same tribalism, sacked those Kalenjins and appointed Kikuyus to replace them. This explains the reason Kalenjins reiterated more than the Luos.<br /><br />Why did people fight? They didn't fight because Raila lost but they fought because they felt Kibaki had stolen the votes. There was a general feeling those days before the election that Kikuyus wanted to take control of Kenya through privatising and acquiring government institutions so that in the end the incumbent President will become their puppet.<br /><br />The hatred towards Kikuyus was existing, brought about by what late Kenyatta, Moi and Kibaki did. The tension started, particularly where I was, on 29th December 2007, when the media was given a black out. It increased when people found out that areas that had not submitted their results were areas controlled by PNU. The first explosion went on when the results changed in favour of Kibaki, the final one went when Kibaki was announced the winner and sworn in an hour later.<br /><br />I'm telling you that even if Raila had kept quiet there could still be violence. His announcement for mass action had only a small impact on violence that happened in Kibera. In Kisumu it was spontaneous after what Kibaki had done, in Kalenjin Rift Valley it was going to happen anyway whether Kibaki won or Raila won, something that NSIS will tell you better if you can't believe me. Kibaki's action was just a catalyst to violence in Kalenjin Rift Valley, a catalyst that the Kalenjin leaders capitalised so much on.<br /><br />Now let's go to issue of signing NARA Accord. You know "all" were watching and "all" were arming themselves. BBC brought this story clearly. "All" means Kalenjins and Kikuyus. International organs were also watching and their voice was, "SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!" <br /><br />You know very well that Kibaki was not going to make any move. He didn't care whether there will be war or not. Raila was also hard on his stand believing he had won the election. Both knew what was going to happen if they don't agree. <br /><br />Kibaki finally accepted because he knew very well that the sumptuous part of power had not been taken away from him. <br /><br />Raila, while knowing very he had not been given what he wanted, accepted since he knew what was going to happen to our motherland Kenya, if he doesn't accept.<br /><br />Fikiria kizee<br /><br />I hope this time you will argue with me in a soberly way and not being combative and abusive.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320652530759368444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-66291148015550960412010-02-24T02:08:18.075-08:002010-02-24T02:08:18.075-08:00Anonymous said...

If that's your objective then let it be, after all that's the effect it's having on me.<br /><br />I agree with Joragem. I don't have to repeat that ethnic stereotyping is wrong. You've done this to Somalis and now Luos, I don't know who'll be next.<br /><br />Maybe in future you need to start asking yourself, is what I'm writing of benefit at all? You know very well that ethnic stereotyping divides people, including the innocent who are different from what fellow tribesmen have been portrayed.<br /><br />This ethnic stereotyping has been existing for a long time and it's what our parents have used to prevent us from interacting with people of different tribes, then politicians capitalised on it further to divide us, which culminated into the chaos that we had in 2007 and 2008.<br /><br />You know very well that Raila agreed to sign the NARA accord due to the position in which we were in January/February 2008, everyone knew that if there was not going to be an agreement then there was going to be an all out civil war especially in parts of Rift valley. <br /><br />You know very well that it was a great favour Raila did to the people of Kenya when he signed it, knowing very well that 50-50 sharing of powers was a mirage.<br /><br />It's sad that you have distorted what happened and try to portray that Raila signed the accord since he was promised a motorcade. I repeat again, that he signed it out of the situation that Kenya was, if he had not signed there could have been a civil war in Kenya - something that Kibaki didn't care at all.<br /><br />I wish that in future you'll start talking about ethnic stereotyping on a light note, as you have done in this post, and not on a serious note when there is renewed tension in Kenya as you had put in your previous post.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320652530759368444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-77327112067073199332010-02-23T22:18:21.415-08:002010-02-23T22:18:21.415-08:00@ Anonymous, I would take you seriously if you led...@ Anonymous, I would take you seriously if you led by example and signed of the right way.

Talk to your insurance guys and they will tell you MOST claims, actually around 80% are from MEN, especially under 40 years old! Women are the best and most careful drivers around. Male drivers are just too arrogant, aggressive, rude and always in a hurry. Even when lost, men never bother to stop and ask directions! Remember that old wise saying "hurry hurry has no blessing?"

Please, be a Kenyan Mzalendo and apologize to the Nilotes today.<br /><br />Next I apologize if I say something here that is already said by others. I tend to write before I read other comments so that I am not biased in my thoughts.<br /><br />Now, there are certain things that are wrong no matter how when or where you say them. <br /><br />One, your reaction to the lady 'barber' is normal but abnormal to report. In Psychiatry, it is called trotage. If your sister did what she did, would you get a hard-on? It is because you'd tune off. I bet when you saw this woman, your G-spot was already exited and touching you was just the icing on your cake! You see Chris the biggest sex organ is the mind, and for this, yours is sharper than mine. I get full body massages from very beautiful women and I am able to control my thoughts to avoid embarassing erections.<br /><br />Two, here in America, there is something called racial profiling and it is wrong no matter how you look at it. Even though most suicide bombers are Arabs, there are many many more Arabs that we do not hear about who are good people. Likewise not all Nigerians are conmen or drug traffickers, not all kikuyus are thugs and not all Luos love a flushy lifestyle.<br /><br />Raila did not necessarily love his motorcade and outriders the way you put it, but if you remember, it was a sign for Wanjiku, Otieno, you and I, that the National accord was being implimented. I do not see you critisize Kalonzo for being lured with the trappings of VP position which he really did not deserve. Is it because Kalonzo is not a Luo, so it is not obvious to your tribal mind that Kibaki lured him with a position and trapings that come with VP position? Is Raila not a human politician as compared to Kalonzo?<br /><br />Now do not give too much credit to Kibaki on this out-foxing non-sense for we have not seen the end of it yet. He simply is capitalizing on this 'Raila blunder.'<br /><br />Come on, if Raila 'blundered' in suspending Ruto & Ongeri, he blundered because he is Raila, and not a Luo. <br /><br />So go wash your hands, mouth and mind with soap, and then continue writing your blog, which indeed we take more as a tabloid and entertainment than news or political analysis.<br /><br /><br /><br />-- <br />Joram Ragem<br />wuod Ndinya, wuod Onam, wuod Amolo, wuod Owuoth, wuod Oganyo, wuod Mumbe, wuod Odongo, wuod Olwande, wuod Adhaya, wuod Ojuodhi, wuod Ragem!
