Historically, the polarity between these two communities started around independence time (almost 50 years ago). It has gradually metamorphosed into deep hatred and suspicion amongst our people. Politicians have successfully perfected the art of adding fuel to an already inflammable situation. Unfortunately, the common mwananchi has blindly but painfully suffered the consequences. As we break for the weekend, I wish to give Wazuans the challenge of working out a formula that will change the tide and give us a common approach in the way we see our country's problems. A mental revolution!

This coming from @Karema Hiti wapi @ Paul Kukubo?

To all of us - Look at the man/woman in the mirror. Change begins with him/her.

From today, free yourself from tribal hatred/feelings/suspicions etc. Deal with everyone as a human being - not someone from tribe x. Analyze your daily activities and see if any of the things you did during the day was influenced by anything tribal. Take corrective measures immediately.

Don't worry about any tribal Kenyans you meet. It's not about them changing. First and foremost it's about you changing. You can talk to them but that does not guarantee they will change. And even if they don't, that should not stop you from striving to become a better human being.

Surprisingly, there has also been alot of intermarrying between these two communities... So sometimes i wonder where things go wrong!

Is Ndolo from his community really? i thought he was from @Magigi's hoods.

Personally I think the polarity issue is just political otherwise it is a myth. For example there are several Luos and Kikuyus involved in various economical and social ventures where tribe is not even an issue. You will find a Luo/Kikuyu talking about how 'down'/'evil' the other tribe is but you dig deeper and you find that some of his/her best friend is from that tribe. And I mean real friendship. Apart from the old generation you would rarely get one meeting a potential friend or business partner and writing them off just because they are from the other tribe.

An example is Wazua where when it gets to politics you can almost tell one's tribe from the posts and where things get pretty emotional but you don't see people refusing to go for mbuzi choma coz of 'the other tribe' being involved.
