I realized that I couldn't reply too this post and I think Adm is going to far in limiting my freedom of speech.

Anyway, I cannot disagree more with Nabwire, I think the basis of Nabwire argument and to the extend alot of other Africans is flawed, there is no other continent where people starve to dead apart from Africa, so face it. I don't like when I see the commercial but it on us, look at how we defend corrupt leaders, so if you don't like what you see then change it!

Nabwire, you listen too much to your Politicians, Africa is messed up because of Africans not the West. Look at how we behave, we throw trash everywere littering the whole country, our priorities are messed up. Last summer I visited Moi Teaching and referral Hospital, 3 people were sleeping in one bed, 3 sick people because there were so many sick people and no space! I was devastated! I walked across the street and purchased a newspaper and the front page was the VP shuttle diplomacy for ICC lobby, the second pages was complition of VP mansion and PM office renovation! what kind of people are we? How can we honest live like that?

Blaming the West is an insult to my intelligence.

@Nabwire
Obviously you cannot look a few cases of NGO and advocate against NGOs, Alot of NGOs have done what our government have not done, so I am not going to focus on those NGO that reaped people off. Hypocrisy? how can you even say that. What exploitation? we African exploit one another more than anyone else does, no one is exploating us we're selling our own self short, so don't blame the west!

I know you're fairly smart based on you post here but I am surprised you still think that somehow someone else is exploiting us!?????? Stupid people get exploit, I do not think we're stupid I think we're hypocritical, we turn a blind eye on some things and scream about other things! We love the rich even when we're poor, we side with the rich and leave the poor even when we are the poor.

Drunkard your train of thought is so way off, that I dont even want to debate you. Like YesuWangu has said, please read the Animal Farm if you havent already. So coz Africans exploit each other, we shouldnt mind if the West does? Newsflash, there is nothing that the African does that the Westerner hasnt done ten times over!! If its corruption, they just call it fancy names like lobbying, and the beloved Capitalist system is based on fleecing the ignorant to benefit the smart, otherwise if everyone was smart, Capitalism would not work as smoothly. So give us a break with the whole the Westerner is just doing what the African does, how come the African isnt allowed to do what the Westerner does?

@Nabwire, first capitalism is not based on fleecing the ignorant, so adjust your assumptions, secondly, African are not allowed to do what the westerner are doing because they haven't earned the right to, that is how the world works so face it. To make the point clear, when you are poor your opinion doesn't count even if it is a good idea, it could be unfair but that is unwritten terms of the game.

In life everyone try to gain an edge over the next person, the first step into gaining an edge is understand what you can control and what you cannot control, focusing on what you cannot control is a waste of energy. So before we as Kenyans and Africa start focusing on what the West do or don't do, we have to first focus on what we do or don't do then we can now look outside.


About the NGOs, these people also get up every money to fundraise so they have a right to make money off it too!

@Nabwire, why would you even care what NGO does? Go out there and create your own value, F the NGOs and yes some people depend on them so lets not demonize them yet individually we don't need it, I don't need the NGOs but someone else need it, if I want to donate, I do it to redcross or salvation army knowing well that their CEO make close to $ 1 million, which is still atleast 20 times less than my CEO.

I dont feel lie having idiotic debates, where did I say I was afraid of wazungus? So what you work with them? Is that supposed to make your opinion count? Always deviating from the subject!
