Huh! Njung'e. I almost thought it meant ' The thing of Waruguru', but now i know better. watu waheshimu wengine.

I thought the Beast from the West was that dude called Big Pin or Big Ben. @Elder, huyo ni Beast from the east . So, "Nyamu ya ruguru" is kyuk? The derogatory name calling will sure have an effect... The absence of war is not peace, peace comes through justice....you still have to fear for this country

Now imagine waruguru having an aeroplane and demanding to land!!! Sasa hii ni mambo gani? Very serious! I thought she should be having an airport. Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Ngai!...and i am damn sure there is no male name such as Ruguru,or is there Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

it appears that kalenjins have learnt to live with their tribal sensitivities without resorting to name calling whenever they are pointed out. this, to me is a sign of maturity.
