Know the times and know what step you are going to take. Even the bible tells you the same thing! in ecclesiastes 7:10 p.s with an life expectancy of 22 years in precolonial Africa you would already be DEAD!! Boss, that 22 is a fallacy. Maybe in Europe at the height of their plague. If anything, back then, they live a longer, healthier life... and since you've brought up the Bible, check the ages in the Old Testament. Death is inevitable. I intend to take my sweet slow time, savoring every moment till then. Hii kukimbia kimbia, nimekwachia wewe  @Mukiri the language used in stating the number is called "speaking figuratively".

Feed every hungry stomach before LAPSSET,new railway line,etc etc.
The poor and hungry will always be there. How many whites are talking of hungry South Africans now that the World Cup came and went?
It's white supremacy. Sad some wazuans are buying into it.
@masukuma. Hats off. On this one,tuko pamoja. they want you to focus on subsistence!! kukula kuishi kuBreed! A couple of weeks a go I used the GauTrain from the Airport to Pretoria - it was interesting to see that in Africa... built for the worldcup... imagine if they never had a need for high speed railways? they would be dragging their feet on it.

[quote=masukuma]A group of white folk were busy advising SA to 'feed its people' instead of bothering with hosting the Worldcup in 2010. Same group thinking is rife in brazil on its hosting of the worldcup and the olympics! I am sure that many white folk were not happy when China hosted the olympics as it did. My take is similar to Fernando Duarte's - DEAL WITH IT! http://espnfc.com/blog/_...olbrasil/id/317?cc=3888[/quote] South Africans ended up going to stadia during the winter. Many white folk ended up happy they maintained their summer timetables, even if through television.

I tell you people used to die like flies! people were married off at puberty coz at 20 there is no guarantee that the guy will be around. he may be bitten by a snake, eaten by a lion, fall off a cliff, injured by a rock and get a septic injury on his foot, get diarrhea, cholea, measles, mumps, whopping cough, small pox, typhoid, bilhazia, malaria, pneumonia the list is endless. the reason they never had cancer was because they never got to 50 years! even life expactancy in europe was not so good 100 years ago....

Boss start living today and facing tomorrow coz that is where we are going! A question.. What is your ideal place/country? Where would you want to see yourself, and by extension Kenya? my ideal situation is when we as africans just style up. We had lines drawn on some pieces of paper called maps in 1884 we embraced that product like it was to our benefit (see the beef in the EAC thread). When we focus on real issues on how to get ahead we will make it. stop chasing squirrels set on your path like the 0.25 acres that is migingo and start facing the fact that the larger you are the better you can do your things. Secondly, we have so so much information available now - the old gate keepers to information are no longer there can we start using this instead of thinking the same way we thought in the 80s. I want to see myself in a more optimistic Africa not one that constantly gives excuses on why we cannot do 'A' or 'B'. I want to live in an Africa where the Governments rig the system for African companies! since really money is just a medium of exchange to assist production. All Mushrooms are edible!

In short, you want Africa to become America or Europe

sending a spacecraft to mars will not benefit india economically in any way, its just an achievement, you can not classify that with building super highways and improving infrastructure. that money could have been used to improve the lives of poor indians
