There is a silly meanness going around in Kenya. Someone would rather be buried with his cash. Compare that to Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan
If it is done in the west, it might be right! All we need is to copy paste EVERYTHING from the west and we will be okay! Hurray!
Kwani what have we been doing since the white man landed here? Show me what is not copy-paste from the way you live, eat, talk etc Convince me, as you type away, that your great grandfather used a comp to communicate!
Maybe what we ought to be looking at is the recognition of pre-nuptual agreements. Kenya is of age.
At a PERSONAL level, I don't copy paste. For example, I will continue beating my kids if they mess up even if I buy a house in Gigiri next to the UN headquarters and US embassy. I don't care about their opinion! There are bits of my culture and Kenyan/African culture I will NEVER let go of while the are others that I will use my OWN judgement to decide if they have been overtaken by time.
And for your information, Computers are not a "white man thing". Even 'white' "great grandfathers" were not using computers to communicate! I'm I supposed to resist technology just because it is introduced by a white person. Wouldn't that make me as [no "politically correct" word to use] as the fellow who apes something simply because it is from a 'white' man (or the west)?
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
