I knew Mutula Jnr before I know the father, when he represented Moi at the goldenberg hearing at KICC...when they were introducing the case the lawyers who were shining were him and the other Kilonzo --- Wambua.. who at the time represented Patni. This is before the senior counsels tool over. Since then I've been following him and he's brilliant.

On the campaign trail...no one here can claim to know what he said since u cant rely on a 1 minute news clip..ha ha. Let us wait for him on the floor of the senate.

Nuff said.

define brilliant! IMHO its easy to confuse brilliance with eloquence.

oh yes! For example people from these Nairobi schools. I have met my fair share of eloquent fellows who are simply all words but no substance. Umekutana na watu WA St. Mary's hii ya Nairobi?

I think people who get low grades in schools actually end up learning more important and meaningful skills than people who score higher grades. Most students who achieve high grades in school usually do so because of a natural aptitude for quick learning as opposed to any effort on their part. Add to this the praise that comes with this effortless achievement and you end up creating lazy self centered achievers who easily give up at the slightest challenge.

A student who struggles in school gets to understand early on that he is not the best in anything, he gets to know that there are others who are better than him and he therefore learns humility. He is not afraid to seek out others for help and learns to not only be more social but work well in a team. If he is self driven he gets to put effort in learning and sees his grades improve and therefore learns a correlation between effort and achievement. He develops grit and perseverance that will do him a lot of good in real life situations.

If somebody's big talking point in their achievements are the grades they had in school then by all accounts they have not achieved much.

Like father like son. It runs in the family.

That's very careless of the young man. A ten bob rubber would have saved him all that trouble.

.....Would a head stand be of any use at that moment. I mean,shouldn't that carry the blood to the big head?.....We should call it Swenani Moment.
