Is Young your real surname or an alias? Cant imagine sparkly jr logging in to wazua and claiming to be so, if sparkly isnt my name.

@sparkly, Mkeiyd is not my real name andmy being on wazua is not a secret to the people around me. If its my son or daughter,they would know mkeiyd is their father.
What your statement says is, your being on wazua is a secret and your thinking is, everyone "hides" from their people.
Not everyone one does that. No wonder i read lewd idiotic posts here from "hiders". Cowards.

Going by @young's previous posts thru' the years, i don't think he's up to any evil.

@mkeiyd very good and honest of you that you dont hide from your family and acquintances on Wazua.

Read my post again, i asked @young whether its his real name or not. A simple yes or no will suffice.

What i dont understand is why a Wazuan would go overboard in defending another Wazuan, they have never met.

When they speak of "previous posts thru the years" but Wazua shows the handle was created in March 2012! Who is kidding who?

@Wakanyugi - Government is not supposed to create jobs for anyone. They are supposed to create an supportive environment and the rest is up to the citizens. One reason african growth didn't translate into jobs is the resource boom that occured in the 2000's. Value was based not anything new but just a rise in prices due to increased demands. Also job growth was limited as technology started taking peoples jobs in processes and activities. Knowledge based economies do create more opportunities than jobs but its because youth all over the world were not and are not being taught how to create jobs from those economies. Its a big change,its not about papers or who you know its about what value you can create by leveraging the abundance of knowledge that's being generated at an exponential rate daily!!!!!! There are some many jobs for people who can turn information into useful knowledge.

Dear brothers, sisters and friends on the wazua network. Let's not digress from the the valuable discussions that is shared on a regular basis on this platform. Does it really matter if I, Danny Young am on the same network with my dad, I have followed my father's mentoring ideas on this network for a long time, I have also learned very valuable inputs from other contributors here irrespective of whether I know them personally or not. It is not abnormal to see families sharing the same ideology and putting such ideas into practice whether in the area of business or politics or football or any area of endeavor too numerous to start mentioning.
Now for me, why wazua, I have develop interest for Kenya since 2004 during our first family holiday visit, I am the eldest of three boys, I had finished my secondary education (with flying colors too) and plan to further my university education in Nairobi, Kenya. Coming to wazua was a choice I made with no regrets, my aim is basically to learn from valuable contributors here while at the same time sharing.

For the records, I put it clear to everyone- moderator and participants here on this platform, that my father, YOUNG, HAS NEVER AND WILL NEVER SELL ANYTHING ON THIS PLATFORM, ALL HE HAS EVER DONE IS SHARE IDEAS.

Need I say again, going through the archives of all MY FATHER, YOUNG HAS WRITTEN, I AM PROUD TO BE DANNY YOUNG ON THIS HONORABLE PLATFORM.

Let''s focus on issues, not persons.

@sparkly, if you check @mkeiyd, that account was created this year yet i've been on this forum since 2008.Passwords get forgotten n new accounts are created. But if you read my posts and read all my other accounts, you would find consistency. That's what establishes one's character.Read the current @young's post n the previous ones, the consistency is there.

Back to the issue. Diligence and discipline should be taught to the young ones day n night.

Welcome. Your father is generous with his knowledge here.

In Africa, the youth are expected to help their parents and elders who in most cases are on the verge of breaking down from life's pressures.

This has generally led to an authoritarian culture that may fail to breed the kind of entrepreneur that Say was talking about.

But when you walk around the slums you will see children dragging magnets on the ground as they walk, children searching for coins in streams and ditches, . . .

When the children grow taller, they start snatching and robbing. And before they get to be twenty five they are dead and buried.

So, is the entrepreneurial spirit absent? No. I don't think so. Youth is entrepreneurial in nature.

The problem is the culture advocated by the 'old folks'.

Where do you come from?
