The following posts, might be of great interest, to those who wish to know, just how exactly Kenya/Nairobi today, does function. That in many a way, many a Kenyan feels lost in Nairobi for instance, due to not knowing exactly what, is going on around them. They see alot of activity, but don't truly know, what is truly going on. The first link, present Nairobi, not from the perspective of its Infrastructure as many often do, but from the political spheres of life, to be seen in the city. It will at the very least, help one become comfortable, of living life in Nairobi, as one basically has an understanding of whats going on around them, and one can therefore see the opportunities, the city has to offer. The article is long, but do attempt for those who do care, to read it all, and this especially referring, to those in Nairobi at present, who don't how to go about doing anything in the city (viewing living in Nairobi in all again, as rather stressful as one does not truly know, or understand even, what is happening around them).

The second link, speaks of the Kikuyu people in Kenya/Nairobi, who have come to dominate life in the city in all, and in many a way, making other peoples, feel maligned/secluded, from the city itself (meaning that, they don't believe they actually belong, in the city). In many a way, it teaches one (the article that is), how to view the Kikuyu, such that, viewing them as they are (or as the article presents them), will help one see, how their ways, have come to strongly shape living life in the city, and by recognizing this fact, one will know how to deal, with Kikuyu domination, of life in Nairobi (that in all, the article presents the Kikuyu, from their political structures, such that, observing them in place, will help one see them as actually being simply Kikuyu, and not Nairobi itself. That in all, they are just another group of people, in the city, who do things in a certain way, and do have political structures, that do in many a way even, interfere (as with corruption), with the Kenya's Government Political structures.

As somewhat mentioned above, take a week even, or even a month, to read it all, as it will prove beneficial (from the perspective of my life too, as with my knowing that those in Nairobi are now, not ignorant of its ways, and as such cause problems of all kinds), or even perhaps, print it out, and read it while relaxing and perhaps somewhat watching the TV.

Take the time to read all this, it might prove more beneficial than you think. At the very least, it will teach you to see and accept yourself more as a Kenyan, and in many a way, helping you adapt favourably, to living life in Kenya, which today, is proving rather difficult and even tormenting, for many a Kenyan out there. Take a Month to read it all if you don’t care to read it with immediacy. Better yet, print it out if you do care to do as such. In all again, it is primarily written for Kenyans living in Kenya, and for those Kenyans abroad, who one day wish to return to Kenya.

Rules, Laws and Codes :

Africa is a continent in decay/decline. Most falsely believe, Africa is underdeveloped, or not modernized or even backward truly. To understand all this better, is to truly know what, the above terms truly mean. When we say a place is developed or not developed, we are simply saying that there are a few disruptions to life itself. When we say a place is not modernized, we are simply saying that, life in all, is a ‘pain in the ass’ so to speak, to live out (meaning in all again that, too much energy/effort, is utilized, in doing just about anything). When we say a place is backward, we mean that the so mentioned place, is dead, and from an economic perspective too.

While the above, does speak of Africa in all, it does not however, get to the heart of the problem itself, that Africa, is mainly in a state of decline/decay. What this means is that, Africans, have no Culture. Long gone are the days when Africans, were capable of producing cultured works of Art, such as those seen below,

http://academics.smcvt.edu/africanart/Ruth/Images/yoruba_ancestor_head.jpg

http://www.historywiz.com/images/africa/ivorymask.jpg


Instead today, the level of African Cultural development, has them producing works of Art, such as those seen below:

One has to understand, what I am trying to get at, when I do say that, Africa, is in a state of decay/decline. Africans today, pay a lot of attention, to gaining a Western Education, believing that their lives, will be changed or transformed as a result. They fail however, to realize what Education is, that it actually originates/ arises, from Culture (and not the other way round). Africans though today, are heavily uncultured. African Culture, and speaking of Kenya specifically, is made up of johi (Kikuyu for Beer) or Muratina, Mudhuts, and a Party/Laziness mentality all around.

To fully get what I am trying to say is that, the so called Kenya Vision 2030, is doomed to fail. You have to understand what it involves. It involves actually, building a modern Infrastructure, that is falsely believed will solve all of Kenya’s problems. However before you can speak of Infrastructure, one has to speak of Culture, because Infrastructure, such as where to place a Hotel or even a Restaurant too, is totally dependent, and on the Culture of a people, and not Money or Economic opportunity either (what this means Is that, for a Hotel to be successful, the people who go to it, must have tourism, as part of their Culture, in that, there are many people with money out there, who never dream of visiting a Hotel, because they are not brought up or cultured, in having tourism, as a way of living). So in all, this is not about Money, but that Economic opportunity, is not born of their being Money or not, but whether, Culture does exist or not.

What I am proposing here (and in the name of Durnham-Nairobi too), is the attempt in all, to bring Culture, and in a simple way, to those living in Nairobi presently. As mentioned before, one has to realize, that Economic opportunity as mentioned above, is born of Culture, and not the availability of Money either. If a Family, cultured, believes in having dinner, with the best of cutlery, wine glasses, wines, desserts, candles, and even a gourmet meal perhaps (it having various spices), one cannot fail to see, the Economic opportunity, that abounds here. In short, someone can have Money, but believe in eating his meals, with his hands, and a glass of water in suit (in short, not much of an Economic opportunity here, as the person is generally uncultured) (a heathen so to speak).

Kenya is one of the most uncultured places on Earth. There is a reason to hate Kenyans, as a bunch of loudmouthed, beer drinking, nyama choma eating, frivolous creatures, who believe, that having Money is everything, not realizing that, when one is Cultured, making Money, becomes easier, as one generally knows how to think (that thinking, is not born of an Education, but of understanding Culture, and its ways in all). Most people don’t realize this, that the act of using Reason and Logic, is born of being Cultured (understanding why one behaves as they do, or do things as they do), and not necessarily, an Education. Without Culture, Reasoning and Logic become alien to one (as Education after all, is all about improving Culture), and one is reduced to being heavily, a memory based creature, who depends on others, for all kinds of Knowledge and Information (which describes Kenyans, and to the tee).

Below is proposed, one of the easiest ways of creating Culture (and for those in Nairobi, or Durnham-Nairobi so to speak). It is based around coming up with what they do term Rules (of play), Laws, and Codes (of conduct) too, that will see Kenya (or Nairobi specifically), become Cultured (and not Westernized) (Don’t think that Westerners and with all their Technology, are highly advanced/creative, as the peoples who created the Yoruba and Benin works of Art posted way above, could in many a way even, possibly have easily figured out Western Technology, and how it works. That those two works, are works of high creativity even).

Rules, Laws and Codes (of conduct). This is the easiest way to creating Culture in a place. Among the Yoruba peoples of Nigeria, Rules, Laws and Codes (of conduct), were created based around the worship, of what they do call the Orisha. It is simply in all, a way of thinking, that will result, in lawful, orderly and efficient societies too. That the usage/knowing of Rules, Laws and Codes (of conduct), is one of the easiest ways, to teach someone how to think, as at the very least, this involves thinking around them (i.e. Rules, Laws and Codes), and unlike Kenyans today, who basically survive, not by thinking, but by attempting to access Information, and from a source too, that they believe has all the answers, and to their problems too (and the false belief that the Internet, will one day help to solve all of Kenya’s problems, when in reality, the Internet is in many a ways, useless place in all, as a lot of the Knowledge in it, cannot be trusted, or simply again, Knowledge that does not actually work) (In many a way, many a person on the Internet, is not willing to release beneficial Knowledge to others, for fear of competition, unless they get charged, a high fee, for this Knowledge) .

One has to understand how Kenya today actually functions. Kenya functions around, many a Commission/Legal Body, that is in charge, of creating all kinds of regulations, and in society too. They key goal of a regulation, is to minimize problems. In an uncultured Kenya today, what you have is lawlessness, unordered and inefficient societies, that these Commissions/Legal Bodies, and such as the Energy Regulatory Commission, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission, the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, the Judicial Service Commission, the Communications Commission of Kenya etc., and many other hundreds of such Commissions/Legal Bodies, attempt in all, to deal with (in that, it is not Politicians that run Kenya, that in all again, these Politicians, actually do work, with these Commissions/ Legal Bodies, in helping attempt to solve Kenya’s problems).

As mentioned before, culture in Kenya, consists of Muratina, Mudhuts and even partying all day through the week. As a result, what we have here are a people unable to think for themselves, and in many a way even, turn to crime, inorder to survive and meet their daily needs. The Commissions/Legal Bodies mentioned above, do not actually attempt to solve the Kenyan peoples problem, but simply minimize the destructive effects, of these problems caused.
Below, are a list of Rules (of play), Laws, and Codes (of conduct), which if adopted, will help Kenyans become Cultured (and especially those in Nairobi or perhaps even, Durnham-Nairobi) (with my hopes that in order to make Kenya cultured, Nairobi will one day be re-christened, Durnham-Nairobi).

Most importantly, these Rules (of play), Laws and Codes (of conduct), will help those in Nairobi, learn how to think in a general manner, such that, we are actually speaking of solving many of the problems seen in Kenyan Society today (if it does exist that is). Problems such as tribalism, racism, sexism, class mentalities, and probably crime itself too.

RULES:

1. Learn how to act with restraint/hesitancy, when dealing with others.
2. Learn how to act in a cool/reserved manner i.e. don’t expose oneself to others too much
3. Forego Tribal mentalities, and the viewing of Kenya as primarily consisting of the Kikuyu, Luo and Akamba groups of peoples. This view of Kenya in all, is disheartening, and highly tribalistic in nature (as other tribal groups, believe in all, that they are basically oppressed by the Kikuyu). Instead, what is being proposed here is viewing Kenya as primarily consisting of the following tribal groups: the Swahili, the Maasai, and Kenyan-Somalis (or Somalian-Kenyans). That these three groups, have cultures, or knowledge in all, that is beneficial, to the rest of other Kenyans, in helping them survive on a daily basis (that the Kikuyu or Luo, should not be perceived as being more intelligent, than the Swahili for example, as the Swahili, have had Civilization, that has existed for almost one thousand years in all, and with Mombasa too, as one of the oldest Cities in the whole wide world).

In many a way again, is to also ask those in Nairobi, or Durnham-Nairobi too, to start viewing those around them, not from the perspective of tribal groups, but of skin colours/melanin. That in all, peoples with different skin colours, actually behave different from each other, and that in all, Kenya can be said to consist of Brown skinned, Dark/Chocolate brown skinned, and Black skinned peoples. That in all, these groups are actually different from each other in behavior and even speech, and as based around, their skin colours/melanin (and even neuro-melanin too), and not on their having, straight or curled hair, or even on their having, caucasaoid or negroid features. That what truly determines a persons behavior (how they act in general), is their skin colour (melanin content), and not their hair, or even their features. This was how Societies in olden glorious days of Humanity (when they did build amazing Architecture (and such as the Pantheon in Paris France : http://www.tweetupkuching.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/f8dc7__Pantheon-Paris-France-001.jpg, or even the Yoruba/Benin sculptures, posted above) {people then did not need cars, as they did not have many times issues, as societies today have). In many a way, one should realize that Brown skinned, Dark/Choclate brown skinned, and Black skinned Kenyans, have always perceived Nairobi, differently from each other (with Dark/Chocolate brown skinned Kenyans referring to Nairobi as ‘Mtaa’, Black skinned Kenyans referring to Nairobi as ‘Nai’, while, Brown skinned Kenyans, have always referred to Nairobi as being ‘Nairo’. In many a way too, White skinned populations in Kenya, tend to only associate with Black skinned Kenyans (and even marry them), while Dark/Chocolate brown skinned Kenyans, are responsible in all, for worshipping Wahindis in Kenya. In many a way too, one finds that Brown skinned Kenyans, are mainly sidelined in society, such that even Wazungus, are more accepted in Kenya (and as insiders to society too), than Brown skinned Kenyans are (just a general perception on my part, with my being Brown skinned too).

4. Forego associating Kenya with America (Obama), the UK and Australia too, and in favour of associating Kenya in all, and with the UAE, the Sultanate of Oman, and finally even, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia too. That in all, we are far more similar, to these Middle Eastern groups, and especially from the perspective of physical looks, voices and even the Arts, and as compared to those living in America, the UK, and even Australia too. That these three Middle Eastern Countries too, and as compared to the rest of the Middle East, also do happen, to speak Kiswahili, and to a certain capacity too.
5. Forego thinking about Kenya from the perspective of Independence (and Kenya’s Presidency), Colonialism (and the subjugation/segregation of Kenyans by Wazungus) and even the Kenyan Elites, and instead view it, from the perspective of Ernest Hemingway (who was far more Kenyan than American), Victorian-Kenyan Society, and finally Kenyan Architecture too (and such as the Village Market Mall for instance).

Ernest Hemingway, spent a lot of his time in Kenya such that, he wrote all his novels, while living in the country, and was a luminary figure as such, and at places such as the Norfolk Hotel in Nairobi. He in many ways was very much Kenyan, having lived in the country for a rather long period of time, before his untimely death. His works in many a way, do actually have a kind of Kenyan accent to them, and don’t sound American too, and are very much written, in a Kenyan style too.

When we do speak of Victorian-Kenyan Society, we are referring to the fact that Colonial Kenya, was made up of many different types of Wazungus. There were Americans (such as Hemingway, and even Marilyn Monroe too), the British, the Victorians, and the Australians too. Unknown to many people, the Wazungus responsible for subjugating/segregating Kenyans, were not the British, but actually the Australians. That Kenya’s Colonial Government, actually had Australians in it, and not British people either (and that the so called ‘British Johnnies’, were actually Australians, and not British peoples) (the British in all, were mainly advisors, and to this mainly Australian, Colonial Government too). That today in all, Kenyans actually speak like Australians, and not British peoples (we do not speak British English as many presuppose, but actually Australian English) (this is especially true for the Kikuyu, the most Westernized of Kenya’s tribal groups, who in all, very much behave like Australians, and not like the British, or even the Americans).

British English:

Kenyans don’t speak like that, though they believe they do, they actually speak more like Australians do:

'Long, stabby thing' - YouTube

Back to Victorian-Kenyan Society. What the Victorians did for Kenya, was actually help develop, its Educational system. A system that is actually rather good in its ways, in the wide number of subjects, it attempts to teach. In many a way, Victorian English, is actually spoken by many a teacher/professor in Kenya’s Educational System (it being English, spoken with a higher pitch than average), with the false belief by many a Kenyan that, Kenya’s Educational system, is actually British. This is not so, as the British Educational system was based around what they do call, British Rugby Schools. Kenya’s Educational system is Victorian (including schools such as St.Mary’s School in Lavington, which traditionally, has been heavily Victorian in its ways). In many a way, the Victorians also gave Kenya, its Tea drinking culture (which again is falsely believed British), its Libraries (including the National Archives), its Museums, its Architecture (such as the All Saints Cathedral in Nairobi), and finally even, Theatre/’Modern Art’. In all, what is being said here is that, for those Kenyans especially those in Nairobi, who spend their time doing nothing much, living a life based around gaining a Classical Education, is actually a fine way, of living out ones life, as the Victorians used to. It will at the very least, lead one, to appreciate themselves, even just a little, and in a Nairobi, filled with rather many unhappy people, not too happy about themselves in all (and seek to put down others, to feel good about themselves). Take Horse-riding lessons, Cookery, Swimming, Foreign Languages, Music, the Humanities or even Philosophy too (try reading the Qu’ran or especially even, the Al-Hadith by Mohammed) inorder to improve oneself, even just a little bit (that in the long run, many Kenyans develop Mental issues, due to not learning how to appreciate themselves, by basically improving themselves in the manner for example, described above). They are generally very unhappy people, and who don’t know what to do with their lives, and spend most of it, chasing money, but unable in all, to think right, due to being generally uncultured (one would be surprised to know just how many Counseling Centers, there are in Kenya, which help deal with Kenyans with Mental issues, and who are in general, rather unhappy, and with themselves and life too) . In many a way too, taking a course of interest, and at the very many educational institutes found in Kenya too, could help one basically generally improve themselves, even just a little bit (as mentioned before, do this for the long-run, as life is much longer than you believe it to be, and not learning how to appreciate oneself in general in the time you have, will lead to even serious Mental issues, and as you get older in all).

Finally, Kenya appears to be developing its own unique Architecture (such as the Muthaiga Country Club too), but where this inspiration is arising from is not generally known, as Kenyans in all, are heavily even, uncultured. There is someone out there, who knows whom they are, though I won’t be surprised if the Swahili, do know something about this. In many a way too perhaps, the Kenyan Government in all, should perhaps consider taking down many of the Colonial structures/buildings put up by the Australian/Kenyan Colonial Government in the CBD, and replacing them, with this new Kenyan Architecture.

6. Forego thinking of Kenya as African, and think of it as Middle Eastern. That in all, while North Africa is sometimes considered part of the Middle East (due to their mainly speaking Arabic), Kenyans on the other, are most similar, to Omanis, than to any other groups of people, found/seen around the World (including the Aussies, British, Americans, or even other Africans too). That’s Kenyans in all, share rather similar even, Characters, Personalities too, and even Self-Images, and to Omanis, and unknown to many, Kenyans actually have rather similar Voices, and even Physical looks, to Omanis (such that some Omanis, the Brown skinned ones, are even confused, for being Kenyan). We are most like the Omanis, as compared to being rather similar to the Ugandans, or the Tanzanians too. We even speak Kiswahili, exactly even, as the Omanis do (and not the Ugandans, or Tanzanians either).

LAWS:

1. Learn how to alert/warn others, on just about anything.
2. Learn how to joke with strangers.
3. Learn how to pinpoint mistakes made by one, and talk about them.
4. Forego drinking Beers, in favour of Wines and Whiskeys.
5. Forego watching TV, in favour of Reading/Studying. That in all, Study Groups are one of the finer ways of coming up with ideas, on how to deal with just about anything. That in all, groups of people getting together, to dissect and analyse any book read, so as to learn just about anything, that might prove rather beneficial, to ones lives. In many a way, when thinking of Study Groups, it is also good, to think of Ethnicity, as this in many a way too, actually does refer, to ones Hometown (and mainly in Rural Kenya too). That in all, forget Ethnicity, and instead focus on Study Groups, and as a way of manifesting great ideas, and rather than depending on ones Extended Family in all (Ethnicity/Hometown that is), for help, in attempting to get any project/idea thought up, up on its feet and running.
6. Forego Marriage, in favour of Concubinage. In many a way, Concubinage, is simply a way of relating between men and women, highly based around Politics in all (such as living in different houses, or even having multiple relations with others), and not Economics/Money (as Marriages today, tend to be mainly about). Try perhaps reading the Concubine by Elechi Amadi again, as it does in all, speak of problems, arising with Concubinage.
7. Forego thinking of Africa, as one huge landmass dominated mainly by Egypt, South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria, and instead choose to see it, from its Nature. That in all, unknown to most, the region of Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia (or Abyssinia even, as the author me here that is, proudly calls the region), has Nature, different, from the rest of Africa. That unknown to most, Giraffes, Buffalos, Rhinos or even Lions, are not found in the rest of Africa (that in all again, the Lions of Botswana and even South Africa too, were actually taken there for touristic purposes, and from Kenya too). That in all, while the Savanna is found in Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia too, it is not found anywhere else, in the rest of Africa. As a result, one does find that Kenyans, are more similar in all, to Ethiopians and Somalians too, and in temperament (wishes for instance), moods (emotional states) or even fancies (what one is generally attracted to), and as compared to being similar as such, and to the Ugandans or even Tanzanians too. In many a way too, Nature in Abyssinia (Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia), somewhat mirrors that seen in Europe, as compared to that seen in the rest of Africa. In the rest of Africa, while Northern Morroco & Tunisia have similar Nature to that seen in the southern parts (such as Cape Town) of South Africa, Egypt, has Nature too, that somewhat a bit differs, from that seen in the rest of Africa, outside Abyssinia that is{Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia).

CODES (of conduct):

1. Do learn how to speak in a moderate tone of voice, when dealing with others.
2. Men and Women should learn how to tease/mock each other often.
3. Forego listening to Parents, in favour of Self-Help Books. That most Parents in Kenya, are mainly a pain in the bottom (ass), and having nothing much to offer their children/kids, other than false advice (so that you can end being exactly just like them, and not being yourself, and fulfilling your Destiny on Earth). The Self-Help Industry in all, can help you understand yourself from a Destiny perspective, as compared, to many a treacherous Kenyan Parent out there, who even believe their kids/children, to be worthless people that is (this speaks even, of their physically beating their kids, when they are believed to have done wrong, other than sitting them down, and teaching them right and wrong) (beatings never solve anything, as I have a brother, who was beaten to death by my father, and still turned out rather wrong, and instead of learning in all, how to instill virtues/discipline in ones child).
4. Forego speaking Sheng, in favour of Victorian English. That unknown to most Kenyans, Sheng, is actually the lingua/slang, of Dark/Chocolate brown skinned Kenyans, and not Black skinned or Brown skinned Kenyans either, who are unable to speak the lingua. That in all, Brown skinned Kenyans, do not speak Sheng actually, but instead do know how to speak English, interspersed with Swahili sentences/phrases, while Black skinned Kenyans, appear to be totally unable, of speaking Sheng clearly. Sheng is a lingua/slang, for the lazy minded. Speak it, despite what Jua Cali thinks, and you will wind up being a fool of a kind. A good source on Victorian English on the otherhand, is the book Possession by A.S. Byatt, and available at any Nakumatt store across the country (but in rather limited amounts too) (maybe one person can buy it, and lend it out to everybody else).
5. Forego Popular culture, in favour of Sports culture. That many a Kenyans, waste their time, attempting to be popular (and in the style of Caroline Mutoko too), instead of attempting to truly develop Dignity and Self-Respect. That in all again, Sports, engaging in them, can go a long way, in helping one develop Dignity (boldness, bravery) and Self-Respect (individuality/uniqueness, moderation) (as compared to seeking to be Popular). That in all again too, developing Dignity and Self-Respect, will bring you the Happiness you so desire in your lives, as compared to seeking to be Popular, which in the long run will prove to be a disappointment of a kind (you will be hot for just a minute, then everybody will forget you eventually, and that’s when the Unhappiness, will truly grow on you). In many a way, Rugby too, should be seen as the Official sport of Durnham-Nairobi.
6. Forego Family in favour of Religious groups. That unknown to most, what they do term Tribe, actually refers to Clans/Nuclear Families (and not Extended Families in all, which are mainly about ones Hometown/Ethnicity, and might include those, who are not blood relatives). That in all again, when one does speak of the Kikuyu or the Luo, who are falsely described as Tribes, when in reality, they are actually Tribal groups. In all, Families in Kenya, don’t function well, in helping one deal with all kinds of Personal issues, they might have. That in all, as most grow older, they do separate themselves, from their siblings, and don’t care to know them too much (or the issues, personal or mental even, they are facing). In many a way, it is here that Religious groups (and not of the Churh going/Prayer kind either), can truly help one in dealing with any kind of issues, one might have, This again, does not speak of attending Church often, but instead, of what they do call Theology (that in all again, do attempt to form Religious groups, to study Theology, in the attempt in helping one or others solve their issues of all kinds). In many a way too, don’t be afraid to follow any form of Theology (and from any Religion too), and one might find that these Religious groups might grown in their ways, such as they are capable of providing for the educational needs, the health needs, lawful needs, or even security needs, of their members (or even constituents too, as the term in all, Constituents that is, does refer, and to Nuclear Families, living with a certain region/place).
7. Forego the Western News Media, and in favour of Contemplation. One in many a way realizes that News Media today, tends to speak of things that never do materialize, or become a reality too that is (that in all, one will realize that one perhaps, has never gained anything, from reading Western styled News Media, over the years). That News Media today, presents a view of Societies problems, and how to deal with them, that is Perjorative (attempting to put the blame on someone else out there that is). Blaming others for anything, never did solve any problem, and in many a way, results in even more problems than before, as no one is willing to take responsibility, for anything, and in fear of being blamed for not fulfilling demands, placed on them. In many a way too, its better to use ones time, instead of reading Newspapers and many a Magazine too (as not all of them are bad), Contemplating things. Contemplation differs from Meditation in that Meditation, is all about, attempting to clear ones mind, and of all forms of negativity, by focusing mainly, on the positive, and attempting to also limit, the impact on oneself, of any form of negativity. Contemplation on the otherhand, has to do with wondering, imagining, and even pondering (attempting to remind oneself of something) things out. Ones life, is bound to become fruitful (successful in all), by using ones time Contemplating things (as you will in general hit on a good idea, even perhaps after several years contemplating), as compared to the News Media, which offers one a perspective of society, as falling apart in many a way (that in all, whatever one does, will in time, fall apart, and in many a way, one finds News Media programming ones subconscious mind, with a general fear of success, trying, or failure too i.e. that’s things in all, will generally fall apart, or one will get blamed for something, or even, one will be marginalized/ignored, and speak of emotional health/survival too, and by society/people too that is).


The above, represents a few Rules (of play), Laws and Codes (of conduct), that can help those in Nairobi, truly learn how to be civilized in their ways. In many a way is to tell them, and from personal observations too, that the above Rules, Laws and Codes (of conduct), do already somewhat work, in Nairobi today (that in all again, applying them as an Individual/Person, will see positive results come your way, almost in a forthright manner.

In many a way too, one cannot fail to realize or see, just how the above Rules, laws and Codes, bring about Economic opportunity, if adopted by everyone. Take for instance, alerting/warning others on just about anything, can see a Business that offers good services, but is not able to properly advertize/promote itself, have clients comings its ways, due to their being alerted, of the good service offered, by the Business. A society filled with people who Contemplate a lot, can see for instance, the Finance Industry grow, as many perhaps, are will to take more risks in their lives, based on contemplating things a lot. A society too, filled with those with Dignity (boldness, bravery), or even Self-Respect (uniqueness, moderation), can see the Economy grow, as many are willing to be brave enough, to start a company, even a huge one, or even, lead to what they do term Specialization (an Economy diversifying), as a societies members, seek to be unique in all, and in their ways too. Learning how to pinpoint ones mistakes publicly, can lead to the proper development of Social Services (Policing, Locksmiths, Massage parlours, Lost & Found services) in a society, as one in many a way, is not afraid of making mistakes (and playing safe and fearful, by focusing highly on personal security). Finally too, the developing of Character, Personalities (such as being debonair/elegant, cosmopolitan, charming etc.), and Self-Image, can see the Fashion Industry grow for instance, as it tailors its fashions for example, for different Personalities in all (in all that, debonair people for instance, tend to dress differently, from those who are charming) (Self-Image on the otherhand, does not actually speak of make-up for instance, but actually of body build, Hair styling, and finally too, facial expressions & body movement/ motion) (Character on the other is more complex, and speaking of Morality in all that is). Finally again, show hesitancy when dealing with others and one might just be able, to access more Knowledge/Information than one thought possible from them (leading to opportunity, economic even, elsewhere).

I intend to keep this thread going on as long as possible. My main goal, is to attempt to tell Kenyans who do care about all this, on how to live their lives, outside talk of Politics/’Siasa’ all the time (and just how in all again, to go about surviving). That Kenyans in all today, are obsessed with Kenyan Politics/’Siasa’, believing eventually that Politicians, will deliver, on their promises. Most Kenyans don’t get it though, that they have been waiting for Politicians, to deliver since Independence, and there is no proof or evidence, that this will ever occur. Most Kenyans in all, have been living in poverty, ever since before Independence and even Colonialism, and don’t realize that, that’s whom they are (that they in all, have poverty driven mentalities, that they will never escape, unless they change whom they are, and from the perspective of Consciousness too) (that in all, they can best perceive Consciousness, and from the perspective, of hope/change, faith/transformation and charity/growth). That in many a way too, Kenyans in all, can best perceive themselves historically, and from the perspective of hope/selfishness, faith/greed, and even charity/narrow-mindedness (that still in all again, instead of perceiving African/Kenyan History in all, and from the perspective of Materiality, and speak of Mudhuts too, it can best be perceived that, Kenyans in all, have Historically, simply been Selfish, Greedy and Narrow-minded too, and that’s why they have never achieved too much in their lives/history). A good source on viewing African History this way (and outside Egypt too), is Credo Mutwa’s ‘Indaba my Children’, which will teach many an African that, they are not stupid or unintelligent people, but in many a way selfish, greedy and narrow-minded too.

One has to realize though, just whom in all again, Kenyan Politicians truly are. That they are not Elitists and as many have been falsely been made to believe, but that instead, they are actually Zealots (or in all again, the most selfish, greedy and narrow-minded people, you will ever meet).

Many Kenyans too, falsely believe that Kenya, will be in all, transformed or changed, and by the so called Kenyan Vision 2030. They falsely fail to realize though, that Kenyan Vision 2030, is mainly targeted towards Nairobi as a city, and not even the whole Country too. Even worse, is the failure to realize that, Kenyans in all, have a mindset, of wanting to live life, and as independent and as freely as possible, yet again, Kenyan Vision 2030, does not support all this, but instead, wishes to turn Kenya, into a kind of Authoritarian State, whereby, the Kenyan Government wishes to build a new Infrastructure, and then tell Kenyans, at every moment of their lives, whom they are, with this Infrastructure (that in all again, one will simple be bossed around, and forced to live around this Infrastructure, and in many a way too, speak of being Independent in all, will be eliminated, as the goal of Kenya Vision 2030, is to simply turn Kenya, into a Middle Class Country, and with its Wealth base, mainly in the hands, of the UK/’United Kingdom’, as it is they, who are actually behind Kenya Vision 2030).


This entry though, is in some ways, targeted towards Brown skinned Kenyans, although most of it, is also actually targeted, towards Kenyans of all skin colours.

There is a new Government in Kenya now, and heralded, and by both President Uhuru Kenyatta, and Vice-President William Ruto too. Most falsely believe though,that change is going to come with this duo. The truth though, is that, not only are these two tribalist by nature (and as with William Ruto too, more of a Kikuyu than a Kalenjin), but that in all again, not only are they both wanted at the Hague too ( and for War-mongering that is ) but that in all, what they intend to do with Kenya, is to turn it, into a kind of Authoritarian State. What this means is that, they intend to work closely with the Commissions/Legal Bodies mentioned in the previous post above, and in many a way too, put as many restrictions on Kenyan lives, and by in many a way, preventing Kenyans from being Independent in their ways too, and with the only peoples benefitting from all this, being only the Kikuyu people and White skinned populations living in Kenya. In many a way what all this simply does mean is that, there will be restrictions put in place, preventing the majority of Kenyans for instance, from entering certain Hotels and even Restaurants, attending certain Schools, and even the ability to borrow money from the Financial Industry (meaning that, you cannot borrow money easily, unless you are connected to the Kikuyu peoples in Kenya, or White skinned peoples in Kenya too). At the very least too, they do all this, by overcharging one, and on just about anything too.

Kenya’s so called Economic Boom, is non-existent, and this is the reason why Raila Odinga, continues to remain hugely popular in Kenya. In many a way, this Economic Boom, seems to be said, to be best perceived, and from the perspective, and of Kenya’s growing Real-Estate Industry. The truth is though, this Real-Estate Boom, is only targeted towards the Expatriate Community in Kenya, and in a Kenya too, where the average home could cost you 1 Million Kenyan shillings, but a Kenya too, with the average Kenyan in all, earning only about Kshs 30,000 per month.

In many a way though, speak of Raila Odinga, is to speak in all again, of his being a Communist and a Demagogue too. That in all one has to realize who Odinga truly is. That in many a way, what he does intend to do, is to actually shut down Kenya, such that, living conditions are reduced, to those seen in Kibera, or even Kisumu too. Everything will be shut down, restaurants, radio stations, television stations, or even JKIA (Jomo Kenyatta International Airport), for Odinga, is one of the most selfish, greedy and narrow-minded people, to be seen in the whole of Kenya. To put Odinga into perspective for Kenyans in all, is for Kenyans too, to best perceive him, and as the leader of Black skinned Kenyans, as many Black skinned Kenyans, see themselves superior to Kenyans of Brown and Dark/chocolate brown skin colours too, and due to Black skinned Kenyans in all, having connections, and to White populations living in Kenya too.

In many a way too, is to perhaps tell Dark/Chocolate brown skinned Kenyans, and who are the majority in Kenya too, that the only chance that Kenya will ever change, is if they put Kalonzo Musyoka, into power. That he only, is the only capable Politician in Kenya in the present, capable of bring change to the Country as a whole. That when 2017 arrives, Dark/Chocolate brown skinned Kenyans are perhaps best advised in all, to vote based around skin colour (and as a general mentality too), and not tribal groups eiither, and in the hope, of putting Kalonzo Musyoka into power (that one again, has to realize whom Black skinned Kenyans truly are. That in all, and due to their connections to White skinned populations living in Kenya, not only do they feel superior to Kenyans of other Brown and Dark/Chocolate brown skin colours, but they are in many a way too, Demagogues. A Demagogue in all, is not a person who prevents one from freely thinking, but one in all again who prevents one, from freely speaking out their minds. That’s whom Black skinned Kenyans truly are) (To know whom Black skinned Kenyans truly are again, is to also know that, Homosexuality in Kenya, is actually found only amongst Black skinned Kenyans, and not Kenyans of other skin colours too). In all again, most Kenyans are unaware that White skinned populations living in Kenya, have a lot of influence and power in place, and it is they too, alongside Black skinned Kenyans, whom in many a way, perceive Kenya, and from the perspective of skin colours to be seen in the place (and not based around straight or curled hair, or even caucosoid and negroid features, and as many Kenyans have been made to falsely believe).

Kenya in many a way though (and without Kalonzo Musyoka in it), is doomed, and not from an Economic or Political perspective too, but actually from a Psychological one. That many Kenyans, are yet to realize, that the majority of Kenyan Politicians, will never deliver on their promises, but eventually, many a person out there, will realize all this (that they are all a bunch of Zealots that is). Most Kenyans again, never realize, that only a handful (and not even several), ever make it (those who are lucky, to receive all the answers, to the questions they might have). However though, most Kenyans and psychologically speaking too, are heavy dreamers actually, and will one day realize all this, that they in all, will never make it, and that only a handful do, and when they do, they will not only realize again that Kenya is a useless, hopeless and boring place too with nothing much going on, but from a psychological perspective too (and as with their being heavy dreamers that is), that they will eventually go crazy in all (or develop serious mental issues and on their realizing that, their dreams will never come true), and the end result in all, will be what the Swahili call Vita (i.e. Warring, and not War either) (that in all again, Kenya will see an increase in tribalism, sexism, racism, crime even, and even terrorist attacks in all, and in the style too of Al-Shabaab and Somalia that is). As I said before, this is not about knowing all this, but all about actually realizing it all that is.

In many a way too though, Kenya is doomed from an Economic/Business perspective too, as most don’t realize that a lot of Businesses in Kenya, are owned by the Kikuyu peoples (and due to their having intimate connections in all, and to the Banking and Finance sector in Kenya that is), but that in all again too, most who don’t know the Kikuyu don’t realize that, they in many a way spend their time fighting amongst each other, and that many a Kikuyu Business, is doomed to fail, due to all this in-fighting/rivalry, seen amongst the Kikuyu (most Kenyans don’t know this, that the Kikuyus in many a way, are not an intelligent people, but are in most ways criminal minded, and not oppressors either and as many have been falsely been made to believe).

For those in Kenya at the present though is to also tell them that (and as with my being Brown skinned too and knowing myself as such, knowing too that I have safe passageway to both Germany or the Middle East), is to again tell them that, forget all this useless business of ‘Siasa’ (or Kenyan State Affairs actually and not Politics truly either), and instead focus, on learning how to build Independent Communities, and with Money too perhaps, as coming in from Oman and not the West truly either (that in all, if you are a broke Kenyan with an idea, and believe no one in Kenya will help you, look out for connections to Oman, and you will in most ways find the help you need) (i.e. visit the Jamia Mosque in Nairobi for all this, connections to Oman that is).

Rules, Laws and Codes (of conduct). That this in all again, is the easiest way to create Independent Communities in Kenya, as with my also stating that, the proposed Kenyan Constitution in place, does not support any kind either, of Independence, but seeks to turn all Kenyans, into what they term Subjects, and not Nationals either, and as in even, telling Kenyans in all, just how in all again, they should actually dress on a daily basis). When one in all again, does actually think of Rules, Laws and Codes (of conduct), it is best in all again, to think of it all, and from the perspective of Proverbs (Rules), Sayings (Laws), and Idioms (Codes <of conduct>) too. That in all, mastering all these three, is one of the easiest ways in all, of building Community, and in general, getting cultured too. That in all again, mastering them, will help one know how to think (and instead of wasting ones time believing that someone, will give you all the answers to your questions), and on how life in all, generally works that is (that most Kenyans are unaware that being polite in all, can get you anything you want and only if, you truly know what being polite is all about). In many a way too, the best way to perceive Proverbs, Sayings and Idioms, is to know that, they can in general save you a lot of energy, effort and time, and in a Kenya too, where most Kenyans are wasted in all (hopeless by nature), and due to not knowing, how to best expend effort, time and energy, and while doing anything (that most Kenyans don’t know how to think, on doing anything, and without spending/wasting too much effort, time or energy too) (this is the reason why many choose to escape Kenya, the very fact that, they spend too much effort, energy and time, and when doing just about anything too).

Back to Brown skinned Kenyans though. In many a way is to tell them that, Brown skinned Kenyans, and of all Kenyans of different skin colours too, are the most serious minded group, to be found in Kenya today (even moreso, than White skinned populations living in Kenya that is). However though, Brown skinned Kenyans are isolated from Society, such that, they are more likely to wind up in poverty, and due to their not realizing that, while Kenyan Politics is today dominated by Tribal groups, Kenyan everyday affairs though, are highly dictated, and as based around skin colours too (that Brown skinned Kenyans in all, are unaware that they are actually Brown skinned, while White skinned populations living in Kenya, and Black skinned populations living in Kenya too, perceive themselves as such i.e. based around their skin colours, and on an everyday basis too, and with many a Dark/Chocolate brown skinned person in Kenya, somewhat aware of all this too that is) (that in all again perhaps, many a White skinned person in Kenya, know they can actually go to places or do things, that other Kenyans of different skin colours cannot do, but with many a Kenyan who is not White skinned, knowing all this, but are yet to actually realize it, and what it all implies or means too) (that Kenya today, is still in many a way, Colonial in its ways actually).

In many a way though, is to attempt to make Brown skinned Kenyans aware of themselves as Brown skinned, and by telling them that, they might be unaware, of the stereotypes about Brown skinned Kenyans in place, and by Kenyans of other skin colours too. That Brown skinned men in Kenya in all, are perceived as petty thieves or even mentally ill people, while Brown skinned women in all again, are perceived as being cheap (that they are in many a way that is, hookers in all that is).

To finish up on all this is to tell many a Brown skinned Kenyan, who perhaps has realized all this (or will come to do so), that survival in Kenya, can be easy, if you can get serious minded people, to interact with you (and as with my saying again that, Brown skinned Kenyans, are the most serious minded people, to be seen in Kenya today). That in many a way too, survival can be easy, if you do decide to start a business, supporting other Brown skinned Kenyans, and as based around doing business, as based around an Email list (that in all, collect as many emails of other Brown skinned Kenyans, and simply email them with regards to your business, as with telling you again that, Brown skinned Kenyans in all, are actually serious minded people, and will actually support your ideas, if you tell them all about them). In many a way too, a simple organizational format with regard to all this, can be seen in the link below:

This entry, pertains in many way, to learning how in all, to create properly functioning Communities. For many, on hearing the term Community, often imagine, prayer groups in all, and with a leader here and there too, and in many a way too, the very attempt even, to find a solution to ones problems in all, and as highly based around the Bible, or these so said group leaders too that is.

Far below, is a link, to many a document, and as written by the author of this post too. Originally addressed to the Presidency of Kenya (and with no expected reply too), what these documents in all will teach one, is how to set up good and running Communities, and as based truly on, the very Structures, associated with Community Building that is (that Community in all again, is not simply just about the people, but also, what Structures in all again, do go hand in hand, and with Community building too that is).

The reason why Community is proposed here, is because, many in all, do believe life to be about garnering as much money as they can, and without knowing either, where this Money is truly coming from . For those with Money problems in general, is to perhaps alert them that, rather than attempting to seek out Financial Stability, not only will Community Building help resolve ones Financial issues in all, but in many a way too, can also help one deal with all kinds of physical, mental or emotional issues too.

In many a way too though, one of the better ways to view Community, is from the very perspective, and of ones retirement too. That those in all, who perhaps fear not having enough money, and for an early retirement too perhaps, learning to build Community in all again, can in many a way, come to ones rescue, and with regards, to just about any issue one might face that is.

For those interested, in learning how to build Community (and as a perceived Life Path too, and as versus attempting to attain Individual Success that is), one should in all know perhaps that, Community here in many a way even, does speak even of, as few as 10 people in all again, coming together, and with a general understanding that, Modern Society in all, has failed to deliver on its promises for many (good jobs for all that is), and that in many a way too, learning to build Community in all again, might be more satisfying and rewarding in general, than the very act too, and of gaining Individual Success too that is.

In all and as a conclusion too, for those interested in learning how to survive in Kenya in general, below are posted fourteen papers (and as said before, originally targeted towards the Kenyan Presidency too), and papers too, on how to set up the very structures in all, associated with Community Building, and in many a way too, 14 papers in all again, that can be said to give a general idea in all, and on just what Community structures truly are such that, one can very well come up with their very own ideas, and on what does truly constitute, Community Building and Structures in all again. Finally, Community Building too, and as targeted mainly towards those living in Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia that is.
