The man of many myths and many nicknames, Ogwal Bade Chieko, the greatest that ever lived, was no more. Strange enough even at that young age, the pupils looked orphaned and during breaktime, we were in small groups listening to other pupils narrate the myths about Jaramogi which they heard from their parents. Some even thought he was not really dead
Twenty years later, it is Not Yet Uhuru, even though we have become wiser and tougher. A lion never really dies. The spirit of the Legend lives on. And his struggles continue. Long Live Jaramogi!!!! I used to think you were a " guka ". Clearly I was wrong!  Do I take that as a compliment? ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

To me you look a little bit younger than the age we get by calculating backwards given the data you put down here. That SK-Friday-time post speaks a lot, but again I may be wrong.  Portfolio: Sold

A friend of mine(a Wazuan)was +2. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

Here is an excerpt:-Woe unto you hypocrites! Yes, I say again, woe unto you hypocrites, who tortured and detained this great man, and now come here in false praise of his greatness. For many vilified him, abused him, scorned him, called him senile, called him blind, and now, for the past fortnight since Jaramogi died, have sung his praises, expressing false grief. Inwardly they mourn him not. Hypocrites are for ever the swine of human civilization. Woe unto them. The Pharisees had false knowledge and perception of God. They were men of God and yet had no faith or belief in God. The Pharisees and high priests of Kenya's politics are men without principle and without vision. Hypocrites are for ever the swine of human civilization. Woe unto them. Thank you mblo. Much appreciated. Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

No, but I was in another equally cold place around the big mountain. Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.
