Quote:Having read the comments by the Ks and the Ms, I have come to the conclusion that the Ks are very slow learners. Whereas the Os and gikmakamago have moved on, they are too slow to move on. As an O, this is how I have moved on: In Kenya, two communities eat in turns. It is the tyranny of turns! From independence, a certain naive but respected O gave up his right to eat and the Ms ate for some 15 years until death intervened between them and the eating passtime. The baton was handed over to the Ks and they ate for 24 long years before the K graciously handed over the keys to the granary to the M. Somehow, the baton or key to the granary transited to another M rather than a K and the K think that they are not eating enough. Now the rule of eating is that you wait patiently on the queue for your turn. It is the turn of the Ms to eat and Waiguru will ensure to that. The Ruguts of this world must wait until 2020 to get the chance to eat again. It is a race where you eat when the baton is passed to your man. The Ks should understand this simple logic because they are a community of racers. As for the Os, well, there is no turn for you, so you must scramble for the crumbs to survive. The Os and others of their ilk can only stand by the pitch side and watch quietly or cheer if they like as the baton is passed in a tyranny of eating turns from the Ms to the Ks. The Ks only need to be careful to ensure that the Ms don't get many more turns to eat at their expense. That is the story of the tyranny of eating turns! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".
