THE CAMERAs GOT IT ALL WRONG!!!???

Give me a break!! You know the politicians have really got it so wrong (their mentality of Kenyans that is). Whatever made these guys think we are as stupid as we sometimes look (that is said in jest by the way)

Listening to Nyachae on TV recently was disheartening. Whats worse is that where i was seated I didn't see people exhibit as much emotion as i was meaning we have become accustomed to such shameless outburst that we don't even see them as being an insult to our intelligence. How can motion picture be so wrong as to even give Nyachae room to declare that "it wasn't me". He been listening to too much SHAGGY.

His own words spell doom leave alone there cameras capturing him giving a guard of honor of the youth paraded before him.

My beloved Kenyans we need to wake up and not let these guys take us for a ride.

You know whats worse!!?? He had guys beside him actually drumming support for him.
No wonder President Kibaki is miserable. Being surrounded by such goofs I believe he has all the rights to be miserable.

WHAT DOES KENYA NEED?

With great remorse I have come to observe that the Kenyan youth have been inclined to think that they have no part to play in the development of our country today.
It pains me dearly whenever i read, watch and listen to news on the media and its all politics and more politics. Whats even more hurting is that the politics being played is archiek in nature and does nothing more than to dampen the spirits of the young who are more than able to make a DIFFERENCE IN THIS COUNTRY.

Listening to Nyachae give a speech on the PANU launch day it was sickening to hear that in his self prophesied wisdom he had the audacity to say that Kenyans don't need a revolution on National TV. How much damner does this game get?

I place it to you dear youthful Kenyans that we need a revolution, not a political one but a revolution of our MINDSET. Its my place (and yours too) to ensure that what has to be done in Kenya is done and not only done but done right. Its my responsibility and yours to make Kenya better. The politicians have failed lets not be reclined in our self delusion that we cannot make a change in this country because we can. Lets avoid cheapening our very worthy selves by just simply matching in the footsteps of our older generation who are hell bent on protecting their age old thinking.

"NO ONE EVER DISCOVERED THE SEAS BY STAYING PUT AT THE SHORES."
When you will be voting think along this line:

WHO WILL GIVE THIS COUNTRY A MENTAL LIBERATION THAT WILL SET ON COURSE A REVOLUTIONALIZED THINKING?


That person will not make Kenya better but will set on course an unstoppable change that will lead to ME and YOU realizing the full potential of our youth and resources at our disposal in the form of family and friends

I love the attitude

I have been observing with keenness the love that many are nowadays showing for the country Kenya and I love the attitude of the Kenyan people is as far as patriotism is concerned. Its was a good move I should say when the various CEO s met and decided to form the REPUBLICAN CLUB and the purpose of this as per Naikinu is to cultivate the Kenyan dream, make Kenya a better place. Am yet to get more information on this.

I love the attitude , the initiative and the drive. We cannot leave the destiny of our beloved Kenya in the hands of the current breed of politicians.

We better rise up and meet the challenge head on. Its good enough that someone should think it for us, its great if we feel challenged enought to want to continue to instill this change.
