Comment on Who Are the Kikuyu? The Jews of Kenya by hakimu

hakimu — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 04:32:53 +0000

I have read the posts here with great interest because I am a student of history with particular emphasis on African history. I believe Africans have a glorious history which awaits the discerning scholars to unravel if only they cleared the mists and cobwebs of contemporary history which has largely been written by Caucasians eager to rationalize western imperialism, exploitation and repression visited on the rest of the world’s peoples over the past 400 years or so.
Let me start by decrying the triviality with which some of the correspondents have treated the issue of the historical origins of the Agikuyu people with those advancing the ridiculous theory of the Semitic connection and those contemptuously deriding them both derogating from the pursuit of a rational discourse aimed at establishing a historical antecedent.
I confess that I am only a 2nd generation Mugikuyu, My great grandfather, Muya, was a Mwathi which I understand to be an Aborigine who was in occupation of the land pursuing a hunter-gather existence at the time the main body of the Gikuyu hordes arrived. He was savvy enough to realize that his survival depended on integrating with the new-comers. Hence he was ‘born by goat’ into the clan of Anjiru of the Murimi sub clan and soon had his son, my grandfather Mwithiga, married off to a Gikuyu maiden of the Anjiru clan and Mbiruiru sub-clan.H

Comment on Emancipating Kenyan Introverts by Philos Llyoid Mudis

Thanks for the piece. I am sure more parents should read this because sometimes they try very hard (for years) to turn an introvert into an extrovert often with no success.

I appreciate every reader and comment on anything i put my name on. I enjoyed interviewing Jane. ChrisK- I think the pictures are ok and beautiful to look at . I dont want to be the moral voice of young kenyans but the voice of clarity and reason. I hope you can see beyond what in your opinion is not moral and encourage this young woman to be all she can be and what God created her to be.

I have enjoyed reading your articles but I don’t think that the current one about Jane Mukami is up to the moral principles that you have so far maintained. I kindly suggest that you at least get rid of the photos in the article… Thank you.

Comment on Kenya & Israel: A Blood brotherhood. by FB

FB — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 15:25:02 +0000

A very informing article and wish that my fellow Kenyans would be educated and thereby enlightened of the strong ties that bind Kenya and Israel. We Kenyans stand to gain lots through strengthening our bond with Israel, such as IT, Agriculture, Security, Medicine, Dairy farming, among other endless technological knowhow. Kenya should never forget how many Israeli lives it helped save following the Entebbe raid, as Israel has never forgotten. This needs to form an integral part of our Kenyan history as roots between these two countries run deep. In Kenya today, we are faced with Alshabab terror attacks that target innocent civilians as those too many witnessed in Israel and thus as a young nation with an interest to protect it’s civilians and tax payers, we ought to borrow a leaf from Israel’s impeccable security strategies and systems. For starters, border control in the Kenyan – Somali border is of paramount importance to the nation’s security. Secondly, proper Identity control is of essence to maintain our Kenyan identity without terror activity from groups who infiltrate Kenya to cause aggregation, disorder, intimidation and heinous crimes in our territory. Bottom line is, Kenya has a lot to learn from those who know it best! After all, there is a lot to learn for the benefit of Kenya!!
