MIGINGO could be a blessing!!!!

There is a small island in lake victoria. it is estimated to be about one acre in size. It covered by slum style housing all over.Business thrives there, even the oldest proffession. it has a 24 hour economy the veep Kalonzo,He of miracles promised us. Maybe it is his doing. then maybe not.

Everyone has had a say about it...M7 insulted kenyans over it,we want to go to war over it. Migingo as a name has become popular,it has many meanings, as is the flag (kenyan or Ugandan) on it. In the street it means what others refer to as the one percent(Vagina) while the flag symbolicaly represent the budle of muscles called penis in correct lingo. So before you say migingo, be careful that pepole dont misinterpret you. Anyway this is below the point.

Kenyans have never really had unity...as a nation. thats why we always turn at each other at the slightest provocation. I have observed that adversity affecting a people, forces tham to unite in order to just survive. If we go to war over the island, I heard kibaki make a thinly veiled threat of military intervention "i have confidence in our armed forces...blah blah brag....", it will be againist all kenyans..tribes,race and any other rationale used to differentiate /segregate kenyans will come crashing.
perhas by having a common enemy, Uganda, we would have to unite...to fight for our common survival....we would forget our tribes, and join hands to survive. we would regard ourselves as kenyans first and always..........war has a way of obliterating intolerance...having to depend on your "tribal enemy" for your life, trusting that he will cover your back, fight for you...TRUST. You must trust them. We dont trust each other..Kibaki has a kikuyu bodyguard,Raila a luo one,Kalonzo a kamba one!!!WHY? they cant trust other tribes to ensure their safety. We have become a paranoid society, we ask the tribes of our bosses to assess our vulnerability at the work place, promotions are done tribalistically. As a society we have trashed merit, in its place we have put tribe,political party,family and others on top.
Thats why we need a common threat, threatening kenyans of all classes,tribes and political persuations...a common enemy so that kenyans can have an external enemy to direct their anger to....to change our national psyche....to create nationalism. The US war in vietnam created friends among blacks and whites, racism in the warfront was at its lowest ebb. whites owed their lives to blacks and vice versa..they became comrades.....can Migingo become our unifying cry, or will we forever wallow in the miasma of ignorance,tribalism and disunity????? I think it could.
Raila wouldnt go to Iran only as ODM but as prime minister of both the blues and oranges, Kibaki a president of all.....Kenya that has kenyans not tribes or political parties....
Maybe we need M7 to unite.
pssssst.....i have heard that our military equiment is of the era of kibakis youth,the ugandans have the latest.....no wonder wetangula is emphatic on diplomacy...... now you know why we wont go to war..!!! LUCKILY.
Have a good madaraka day...we are free of physical mzungu colonialism...we have mwafrika one now . Celebrate!! (sic*)

  1. I can't access C-box VT, I am going to guess you mean the #? That is risky, putting out your stuff like that, you must be a true business man/consultant! Those are the ones I see giving all and sundry theirs. The good thing about C-Box is that you can always go and delete it. You could put your blogs email address on your profile, that is always easier.

    Unfortunately, those abbreviations won't help me, I don't have those issues.

    Stop deluding yourself that Migingo is a blessing, nothing has changed. Kenyans are divided and will continue to be divided on tribal basis and that will not end quickly, just last week they (PNU) told us they want more provinces especially in the Rift Valley, you and I can only guess how those provinces will be split.

    Migingo changed nothing!Just read blogs and see what (some) Kenyans really think about it.
