This is where she got the name from when writing her article in The Star that called all blog users and twitters in Kenya nincompoop.

“And yet I feel superior,” he smiled fatalistically. “Every pink person on this plane feels superior to a brown person. The pink guy who picks up garbage, the homeless pink trash on drugs, feels superior to you no matter his status or education. I can pick up a nincompoop from the New York streets, clean him up, and take him to Lusaka and you all be crowding around him chanting muzungu, muzungu and yet he’s a riffraff. Tell me why my angry friend.”

Nincompoop is an offensive term that deliberately insults somebody’s intelligence or competence.

i.e. Pariah is a nincompoop for thinking I have learnt a new term. He does not know I don't give much hoot about a foreign language which was forced on us so that we can be ruled physically and psychologically for many years.

For writing in inglish here, am also a nincompoop of a higher degree.
