Kama ungekuwa Nairobi walipotua baada ya kupata ushindi kule Beijing ungeshuhudia mwenyewe walivopokelewa na wakenya.Ruto aliwapokea pamoja na seneta wa nairobi,na viongozi wengine,hadi wakakimbia!Maziwa ni utamaduni wao,ama hupendi maziwa wewe?

niko nairobi ndugu Ruto hata akiwapokea si wanaongea kikwao. any waykuna nchi niliona michezo inawaunganisha sana unajuta hata hivyo vipaji viko maenro mengine ila havijavumbuliwa. so wanamichezo wanatembea na maeneo mengine kuonyesha medali ili kuwavutia na wengine na kuwa encourage pia

najua kuna makabila mengine na ninasikia kuna makabila mengine yameingia ndio ukora unasikika miaka hii. ila majority wanatoka sehemu moja. ni vizuri kenya inajulikana coz of riadha rugby na hata cricket.

Kwani waziri wa spoti ambaye anawapokea kila wakija na medali ni wa kwao?Uhuru ambaye aliwaalika ikulu ni wa kwao?Marathon zinazoandalia kote nchini afu akina Rudisha na Kemboi wanaalikwa kuwapa vijana motisha zinafanywa kwao?Ukiwaona wakenya wakitazama riadha wakiwa wamejawa na uzalendo kwa sababu ya wanariadha wetu ndo utanielewa.Hata hao unaosema wanaongea kikwao nani anakuambia hatuelewi shida iko wapi mtu akiongea na mwenzake lugha yao asili?Unatafuta vijisababu vya kutupaka matope kama wakenya lakini jua ya kuwa ikija kwenye riadha na michezo hamna cha ukabila.Kawaida yenu watz na stori zenu za vijiweni!

Na nyinyi lengo lenu la Doping ni kuiba medali za mashindano?acheni wizi.

Watu wachache wanafik waki'dope' inamaanisha ni wote?Fanya mikakati ya kujaribu angalau kutumia ubongo inavostahili kidogo tu.Kazi yake si kushikilia kofia tu!
