I hate this thread. @ Kenyanbeef u r the militant kind,like u have a heavy DRC gene pool. U dismiss akowally's points as if he has no brain...That makes me angry at u,thats foolishness. U r intolerant of others contrary opinions,just lyk u hate ua motherland. What u r telling us r mere opinions,which,luckily,everyone has. Kenya is ok,still forging 4wd,and many of us can see that. Its loyalty that can take us where u want......supposing u were an army general,I shudder to even imagine that.....

Can silence be misquoted?

@Jaribu,each one of us can give 1000 similar experiences,that's not enought to warrant me hating my country - sometimes I hate the things that happen in my country,but I don't hate it,coz I know things could be worse! Ask the 5,400 women raped in Eastern DRC last year. Do you know how they rape women there? They use gun barrels and sticks - ofcourse after they've finished off themselves. But that's another story...

My point,appreciate the good stuff that's happening and continues to happen....it could be worse!

smano

just leave kenya if u think its fafe and go to leave else where preferably Uraq,As for me this is rthe land which God gave me and am happy for it

kenya nchi yetu,hakuna matata

nchi ya kupendeza,hakuna matata....

@jaribu....dont spoil our spirits and efforts....we are trying the best we can to make our beloved country a better place to live in...and we shall do it,and we shall triump!!....for now you can stay wherever you are acting like a voyeur but kindly dont bother us with your hatred.....kaa kando tufanye kazi na tutafanikiwa......then we shall invite you to come back

bure kabisa wewe..!!..DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM

If you have money that you expect to start using in five years,it now belongs in stocks.

People who 'hate' Kenya seem to be quite a number.
I would like some clarification though on whether you hate;

A. KENYA

B.Woes that afflict Kenya.

By your diction guys,you imply that you 'hate' KENYA and not the ills,how i wish that's not the case.

Reason is simple,what you HATE,you tend away from,you disown,you shun,you want nothing to do with,you don't desire to be immediate,is much better if forgotten/gotten rid off.


If you hate the ills/woes afflicting our country,you will get rid of them,you will solve them,you will disown them,you are likely to do something about them,get rid of them.

On the other side,the bright side according to me,[and all those who love Kenya] LOVE is the word we should all be preaching.

When you LOVE, you cherish,you own,you tend for,you defend,you fight for,you take responsibility,you make it better and better,you want to live forever,you wish well.

We need to LOVE our country in order to stand up for it,to fight for it,to make it better,to want to live forever,to take responsibility,to nourish it,to be there for it,to wish good to it.

A.You 'hate' Kenya,you shun it but sadly,you are a disgrace.
B.You hate the ills afflicting Kenya,you are better than A.
C.You LOVE Kenya,you embrace it.

LOVE and hate are two sides of the same coin.

LOVE ENGAGES.

hate DISENGAGES.

We all know what we would wish to have more of.

When i see my purple,you see it not.

Jaribu; i feel you man! what you say its true. I hope ya bp is less than 120/88 otherwise you wont read this.

Lakini the real anti-dote is being positive,avoid news especially local media news,like for 2 or so months,and make a difference 1 person after another. trust me,give those beggars a coin every time you see one and you will soon see how positive your life will turn out.

Kenya will be here 50yrs from now,thats a fact. I hope to sit next to you and have a cold beer as we look into our twilight years

have a hopeful day

You HATE Kenya yet you still wanna own a plot in kitengela,come on why dont you everything in the country that you love so much,in the living standards of the country where you live as a voyeur what point of the ladder do you belong,bet the chokora levels in their standards!!!!


Thought those who reside in these 'great' countries and doing so 'great' should be able to have a VX car hire at their disposal when they come to Kenya,kumbe they also jifinya in our mats with the local mortals.......eish!!!!




The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated.

I love Kenya to an extent i have our beautiful flag in my office despite being in a foreign land. How about everyone working towards making the situation better??? Kenya is a blessed country!!!!!!!!!!!

whenever a somalian,southern sudaness,rwandan,congoless,tzanian and many other lands in this land so called kenia....a sigh of relief they've landed in canan.....but of born kenyans ever complaining and thus cant see opportunities she presents to them...........many kenyans dream of usa,uk and other big countries yet some americans are disgrunted with their life in usa ?????????????????

@jaribu,
Its not that I wanted to be the 60th contributor. But I am with you in every step.

Those who are rising against you are anti reformists,busy for nothing guys who are having no direction in getting the best by spending less. You cannot tell me that Kenya is a golden nation by comparing with somalia and such other nonsense states. Its like comparing yourself with a chokora and deceive yourself that you are actually better off. Give me a break! As a Kenyan I am entitled to an opinion of improving Kenya,its Governance and Policy making.
The Israelites were promised Milk and Honey in Canaan. But all these things were to be worked for. Nothing was promised to them free of hassling and sweat. Whether in Canaan or Egypt they had to work and very hard. Difference was freedom they enjoyed in Canaan.

I support reforms. Kenya is a potential country if at all we Kenyans can start to think in the right direction. We are fond of opposition for no apparent reason. Like evidenced in this thread. We look like people who have no grounds and always singing the song of majority without considering the contents of the song,or the contents in the heads of those singing. Always being tossed to and fro by any wind that comes our way.

Our journalists,church organizations,name them,are all in the same category. Focusing on what destroys than on what edifies!

Like one of my favourite lecturers once said 'You are no different than matatus in your route'

It doesn't hurt to know more than you have
