I have come to realize that most of what people call education is really miseducation. And one doesn't need a scholarship to be educated. Or even school fees.

This Owira story reminds me of 'the pearl' by Steinbeck. A fisherman chanced on a Pearl and thought his troubles were over, Kumbe they were just beginning!


thats one gripping,sad story... waah!!

Moving dangerously first in the wrong direction.
Soon we will hear of people falling off some balcony in some middle level estates.

I am wondering... Kama UK finished school and went to campo and finished with all the wealth that his family has - why would people mislead the young man?

There are three reasons that explain my apprehension:

1. Identity. By identity, I mean the socially negotiated consciousness of who a person is, and the implications there in. In this case, the young man is defined as poor but talented. And consequently affirmative action is needed. The boy has therefore been denied an opportunity to define himself. Others are now fighting his battle, and affirming the reality and baseness of poverty while in fact, poverty is a fiction.

2. Conservatism: Human freedom is only guaranteed by upholding fidelity to 'original nature'. Owira's case is one of radical action preceded by a single event. This precludes equivalent growth of Spirit and leaves the person desolate.

3. Power: Power for growth must be generated from within in order to be sustainable. Otherwise one will always be a beggar.

The President has fared favorably on these counts. Owira hasn't.
