Setting ourselves back – The Kenyan way!

10 Examples of Why Most Kenyan Should Be Considered Ignorant Idiots

Overlapping…. Does it help? Really? In the whole scheme of things??? You need to just get an accident in my opinion…. how else will the lesson be learnt? Does there really have to be a policeman around for you to not overlap? Isnt it common sense?

Matatus and buses. Why do we keep adding more of these menaces on the road??? I pray that God wipes them out in some way! And I know someone will tell me about the plight of those who have to use public means but there is a way around matatus and errant buses. You know it, I know it… so come on!!!!

Throwing trash out of cars, buses, matatus et al. You are the biggest IDIOT out there if you do this!

Policemen and the Bribing associated with them. I understand that the pay is not good, but come on, other than those in parliament and top management, everyone else’s pay is “not good”. Just do your job and do it well.

Politicians – Why do we keep recycling the same people from independence till now??? Don’t get me wrong, all politicians, Obama included are self seeking, I mean, who isn’t, but there are those who actually make a difference. Sadly, none of the ones who are currently in parliament are worth SHIT! Except maybe Michuki who actually does some work in the Environment ministry. I wish they could just spontaneously combust on the utterance of the garbage that they spew from their mouths. Honestly, in this aspect alone, we set ourselves back 30 years!

Some Kenyans have this need to tribalise everything. It doesn’t help people…….and unless you were asleep during the post election violence, I don’t see how you can still think that tribalism is a good thing.

The short term memory of Kenyans. There are many things that have happened in this country in the last two years… Scandals in the political arena [like the maize saga], our tax money has been stolen [Ministry of Education]. We also tend to forget how people move from one party to the other and the fact that there is a 99.99% chance that come 2012, ODM and PNU will NOT exist! Yet, we allow the politicians to dictate the new constitution based on these party lines. How now?

Kenya Power & Lighting Company and Nairobi Water: Has anyone every seen more incompetent management and workers than those employed by this two? I even shudder to think how they work! Surely!

Musicians – Just because you “want” to sing or rap or whatever you call it does not mean you should… Daddy Bling, Wiwy and all such artists who release only one song and start thinking they are now celebs, STOP THE MADNESS! Honestly, unless you have a CD out, there is no reason for you to be shouting and trying to attract attention…. Im looking at you Wahu. [One nice song does not an artist make! Especially when the song had nothing to do with your voice but rather how it was arranged and written]. And video girls?? Dont even get me started!!!

Kenyan Road Contractors: Im sorry but these people got on my nerves the other day without the little “sob” story in the papers about how Chinese companies are taking over. Well, dude, if you had done your job well when you had it, the Chinese wouldn’t be here. I mean, come on, look at Processional Way. That small stretch took sijui 2.5 years. And Ole Odume Road???? Like 5 years. Both were done by local contractors. Can you imagine how long a local contractor would take to do Thika Road??????? No sympathy from me!!!

Najivunia kuwa Mkenya but we need to wake up and do something!!!!

This just came to me as I sat here at my desk, one of the 25% of Kenyans who are still working this week!

Highlights of 2009

In Music

Susan Boyle – That viral video was amazing and Im glad she is going places
Sam & Ruby – Granted I discovered them very late in the year but they are FANTASTIC!

BLACKsummersnight – Maxwell’s new album DID NOT disappoint!

Lady Gaga needs to melt into nothingness!

Black Eyed Peas need to retire ASAP!

I wish they would lock Lil’ Wayne up and throw away the keys! For Life!

I also sadly realised that there is a chance that R&B in its truest sense, IS DEAD. Im seriously inconsolable!

Edit!

Sauti Sol anyone? Lazizi??!! Fantastic stuff!

And Kenyan gospel is going places! Kiriro, Huratiti….. Just amazing songs! I also like DNA’s song – Mtoto wa Sonko!

In Movies

Sadly, I have not watched a WOW movie this year! [Will watch Avatar and Law Abiding Citizen and see what the rackus is all about!]

Wait… I take it back…. Taken was released in 2009. That was a good movie!

I should mention that I havent watched these movies:

District 9
Inglourious Basterds

Can someone tell me if Boondocks Saints 2 was any good???

And I cant believe they thought of making Ace Ventura 3. Are they serious???

In Books

I read Tara Road. FANTASTIC!
Pillars of the Earth – AMAZING!

Now, these are old books, but what can I say? I read them in 2009 and therefore MUST feature in this list!

Love is a beautiful thing!

Rest in Peace Luther! You ARE the greatest there ever was and will be!
