I am a Nigerian.This is the kind of spirit we like for those who will take us to the platform of truth-to speak about the real condition of our environment.I think our generation needs such people who have courage and all what it takes to lead us to the promised land.Our generation still yearns for such a caliber of persons.

Tribalism has shackled our progress. It remains a cog in our conscience

I have to say that this story took words right out of my mouth(read mind)! How I wish Kenyans will rise above their stale and old mentality of tribalism and nepotism and save the future for our kids(Am only 19, but I can’t help but cry for my generation). As you have said…why should I brag that my president is a Kikuyu when he can’t even fight for me when the prices of goods have gone extremely high and the standards of living very low—I WISH KENYANS WILL WAKE UP AND DECIDE NO MORE OLD BLOOD–I sometimes think it was a waste of time to fight for independence coz we are still fighting for the same independence TODAY(2008)

Sure, in Kenya a generation has tenaciously glued itself in authority by pretending to understand and speak on behalf of the other generations.

These are elders, who hope to continue ruling as long as the village lasts. Thank God the only village to last is digital. So we should let go of their philosophy that Kenya is a peaceful country when in fact they mean a war -free country.

Now, in nursery we used to sing the hierarchy of social status thus; rich man – poor man – beggar man – thieve. But this has been reversed since we revere thieves as ‘our rich.’

Reading this made me angry, not angry to pick up a gun but angry to want to do something! However small.

I agree, I’m sick of seeing and hearing the same arguments over and over… its time we all actually DID something.

I could not have said it any better
It is my hope that my generation, will never have our children speak of our failure in this manner

can we hope that in Kenya, the breed of selfishness will come to an end

each Kenyan carries their cross in this, when I go to public office and I fail to accept giving a bribe as precondition to provision of services, I have been asked “where do you live, you must be the only one left”

but I know this is not true, there are many Kenyans who uphold the values of honesty
and refuse to follow where our political leaders footsteps
