Last week I asked what crimes have been committed by Raila ......

Today, I am just wondering why we have such big political differences between the two heavy-weight Kenyan communities (Luo and Kikuyu).

I hear it said that just after independence, Kikuyus were eating (stealing) and Luos were quick to point out the injustice .....


Could this be the reason why till today we have such huge differences between the two communities?


I am not luo, but having studied there, I know luos are direct ..... they say things as they are. Is that a problem to some people?

Regards.

Abby, by any chance are you in class seven? That is the only explanation i can think of in reply to your "silly" statements and question.

When you say "Kikuyus were eating (stealing) and Luos were quick to point out the injustice ....." you are implying all kikuyus "ate" and all luos "pointed out".

I think this kind of pedestrian thinking that makes us have the divided Kenya we have right now! Learn to differentiate between an individual and his or her community.

How kenyans need more than Pray !

Common sense is the most evenly distributed quantity in the world. Everyone thinks he has enough.

@Abby,, one can tell your level of illeteracy by just reading your posts, I think wazua should request one's education before being allowed to join,

@Abby

I think you need professional help. You are asking a question and providing an answer. Why do you bother asking?

Those two tribes are a part of kenya and will always be. They are here as a matter of right not priviledge. Get used to this fact as it wont change anytime soon.
You will know that you have arrived when money and time are not mutually exclusive "events" in you life!

Hey, i think we are being too harsh on Abby. Maybe if we pondered this question we may just come to the realization that the differences(political or otherwise) between Luos and Kikuyus are based on perceptions that are founded on some historical events but have been perpetuated by ignorance.

May be. Just may be her question deserves some thought!

@ Redondo, no one is questioning abby's right as an individual to ask why there are political differences between kikuyus and luos. What we find objectionable is the statement after the question and the generalization of individual traits to reflect the traits of a community.
