All well with you? Umenyamaza sana!
I was just remembering the RCB days of 2000-2010
MOTDs - that caused a storm especially among the Dengus and Mwaris mpaka Mil was forced to stop them.
Lunchtime, loonchtyme, langi langi time daily posts!
Wueeh those days we were furious posters. This was way before and just as Facebook and Gmail came to this world (2007)
Back then all we had was yahoo.mail, web forums like RCB,.skype, Myspace and analogue websites that were always crashing
No WhatsApp and other messaging services that have made info move at warp speed.
It seems unbelievable that some of these things we take for granted these days didn't exist back then.
Like smartphone apps. These days there's literally an app for anything and everything under the sun.
I'm currently using an app to learn a new language - something I would have had to go to class and pay good money to do during that era.
Then there's ChatGP which solves all sorts of complex probos in seconds. Something unthinkable as late as 2020.
Masiku zinakwenda buddy.
I've noticed your zeal for siasa.hasala tupu has diminished with the years.
You used to be very vocal about Kwiinyan politricks back in those days. The Kibaki era especially. Sadly all those politicians - Moi, Kibaki, Wamalwa and Raira are all gone! I said it twenty years ago and I'll say it again. Siasa ni hasala tupu for everyone else but the politicos themselves.
Lee Njiru said something about Moi in his book (President's Pressman) a couple of years ago that I will never forget.
He said Moi told him something to the effect that
"All politics is local and the benefits thereof always ends up heading in the direction of/benefitting the politicians themselves." As in, the public damned

Yet the same public are ready to kill each other (PEV anyone?) for the sake of the same politricksians. Isapite
Better to grow beans or go enjoy a day at the beach than waste time on these things, ama?
Raira after 1989 came out of the can knowing this very well. He decided maisha ni kunjienjoy swingh swangh, his worshippers be damned! Everything he did ever since was for himself and his family. Billions made. Positions in government that paid him a pension for himself and life/health insurance for all his kids for life. Numerous trips abroad skwaa and general good living all around.
It was also said by several people close to him that Raira NEVER wanted to be Prez because of the inevitable responsibility and stress of the seat.
Especially in a third world country where problems are insoluble. It's therefore comical to see how many people literally worshipped him inspite of all this. Isgoodcomedy.
Several of my classmates have died in the past 2 years. Very sobering
When I think upon them it hits home how little time we have left so we need to make the most use of it.
Ni hayo tu.
