this guy has called out our cultural weaknesses

Quote:

Majority of Kenyans were born into poverty and many are doomed to remain that way till death.

Those who survive the death traps of poverty and her brother diseases and misfortunes are forced to live on the edge of life. And many driven by these combined factors want out.

We want to run away from their earthy problems now. From our monetary, marital and medical issues, we don’t have the patience of time. We adore the successful amongst us without interrogating the source of wealth.

the best wrap-up is

coz if were were excited over these real things - tungekuwa na civil war!

This:



captures it succinctly!

too much gnosis. what can teh religious guy do to escape his suffering. at least "the sigh" prevents them from giving up and committing suicide or stealing. religious is the greatest pressure valve we have in society, a fact that even if one is a non-believer they cannot dispute. the secular world has counsellors and psychiatrists.. An oppressed individual goes to church and prays meditates wails weeps shouts out their problems and desires and come out less pressurized and their sanity improved, knowing that their problems have been heard and will be addressed. too much ujuaji analysis is what ails Kenya no practical solutions just tearing apart the society gloat over it, laugh at it, accept and move on

But nothing keeps the rich from murdering the poor.

You can have no doubt about who defines politics. Like the person you are quoting, who does he represent? Notice how he takes poverty as a given. I am poor, and roughly clothed and hungry and insecure. Is it my lot to be so? Karma? Yet the gates of heaven are wide open!

All this is pseudo politics. For example, those who don't have religion as a vent, do they have some other kind of vent? Or are they ventless?

I know their vent. The poor, unenlightened masses living in the gulags. Laughing at them, spiting them. Quit poking our nose @masukuma. And by the way, if all you can do is rage against the masses, yourself, then you must be living in another gulag camp.
