What's with us Kenyans and disrespecting our heros. I'm sad.


It is not true that Julius "Awilo" Owino Collects used water bottles for recycling. Those are Pure lies. What is soo hard in media people researching and Investigating a story Proper before they publish. The other day I read In the nation that George "Jojo" Waweru, former Tusker and Harambee stars centre back is seriously into liqueur cheaper than Changaa. Lies again!! Very sad..


Am, blame the messenger?

What is the true story please.

All I know from the bottom of my heart and soul is Kenyan football will never go anywhere in my lifetime.

When foolish people are elected by equally foolish fans who go around stoning people, there is no hope whatsoever.

I feel very bad because I know I was brought up in a generation of the best footballers in Africa. Yet, we treated them as rubbish.

Then we want to blame Moi for all our problems.

FKF or whatever its called now will never go anywhere.

I mean today there's another story

http://www.nation.co.ke/...88/-/9lci3/-/index.html

If I was a Kenyan footballer, I'd go play in another country and never play for the national team.

Did you know there's a Kenyan footballer in the MLS team that won the MLS cup? Lucky bastard coz he's never been called upon to serve his "sovereign" country.


@Alma, All that you say is very. My Point was the story that is poorly researched as said in the earlier post..

Boss, you strongly say 'lies, lies', yet you don't state your facts. So, what does Jojo and Awilo do nowadays?


Sorry, the Story about the two Pissed me off. But Still, I wont dwell on the two Individuals who yes, are not doing too well Wanyama way - but don't do what the story said they do. I do not have to expose them here. George waweru is not into cheap liquor and Julius Owino doesn't collect used bottles from the streets for recycling. They are working hard each and every day to make their lives better, like you and I.


Whats wrong with collecting used bottles and selling to make money? I do that everyday yet I'm in middle class.

Shame on you Shame on you Shame on you Shame on you

The guy lives in a single mabati house in Kisumu slum and is a single parent of two.
He looks so low just like Osuofia when acting a poor man in Nigeria movies.
He coaches some low key village football team in Kisumu and cant even afford 30 bob for matatu so uses bodaboda and pays 10 bob.
This is the guy who score 99% of all his goal by the header and ensured Gor winning the 1987 Mandela cup!



Dawo is the chair of the Muthaura jua Kali artisans on jogoo rd next to Gikomba. I know KURA is negotiating with him to move those guys so that they can implement the Eastern ring roads...

Shame on you
Its all good.

This is a problem with sports and it's global and not limited to Kenya. The main issue is that money and fame come a bit to early and sportsmen usually retire in mid-thirties when their contemporaries in other professionals are just taking off. Blacks fare much worse because they often come from tough backgrounds and they are unable to handle the thrills that come with money and fame.
Many retired boxing champions are languishing in debt in USA and some have attempted ill advised comebacks to try and end their penury.
A player known as Djemba Djemba had more than 25 bank accounts but was later so broke he could not even move out of UK .In Nigeria,Rashid Yekini was a nut case in the later stages of his life and spent his time loitering barefoot in the streets of Ibadan.

You are not listening to what we are saying.

If a motherf***er was earning 1 million a month and spent it in Karumaindo, no one would give a damn.

But we are talking about Kenyan sportsmen who were used and abused and later used....as tissue by the so called "officials"

It is sad, very sad, that we allow waste to happen.

All we do is make "suspects" presidents, recycle "old men", elect "bling bling malayas", and put them on a pedestal.

This story in Kenya is sad.

If you love your country. Sacrifice your talents. Do right for the common Kenyan.

We shall f*** YOU!

Then the rest of us can call others "kiash". The story here is that

There is no good that comes out of doing something good for Kenya. Infact, we shall make sure that you are as broke as Peter Dawo to prove a point.

This is Kenya @50

Point! Would even make the environment cleaner.

BTW, I thought these professionals also do other things apart from football? Joe Kadenge played in the same times and we don't hear of him begging around.

Joe Kadenge has his Peugeot taxis...but there's a real issue here. How much do we pay our footballers esp after they appear for the national side?

should they be 'paid' salaries or simply allowances? ION allowances are enough if they are not professionals.
