MAY BE NATURE HAS IT???

AN ONLINE CHAT A SESSION WITH MY FRIEND JACK BACK AT CORNELL ON AFFIRMATIVE ACTION (AA). I think it is always a good idea to have discussion and engage each other on the “hot” issues in our societies today. In doing so I think we can learn from each other and positively influence each other. I just decide to post this archive from one of the discussions that I have heard with friends especially in College concerning controversial issues in our societies today. Jack and I are great friend and we agree in almost many things. Here is our conversation on Affirmative action (AA) Notice that Jack seeked my opinion on AA, which he had with another friend. That is why am quoting some of the thinks he said or the other friend said in their conversation and I was stating my position on the same. Some of the quoted stuff may not be all Jack’s, could be other friend who said it. Anyways here we go: Hey Jack, My comments are in blue, I picked some of the points that I thought I had a different pers...

The Chairman of African Union (AU), the Ghanaian President Hon. John Kufuor led efforts to bring to agreement the two main political parties in Kenya: PNU led by President Kibaki and ODM led by Mr. Raila Odinga failed. His lead delegation coined as African solution to the stalemate between the two parties was supported by other prominent world leaders such as the former South African Archbishop and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Desmond Tutu, who come to the country himself to mediate on the same. Others who supported the Kufuor led delegation are: the Europe Union and the US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Dr Jendayi Frazer. Dr. Frazer also jetted into the country to mediate between the two parties as well. Now that the first attempt to broker consensus between the PNU and ODM has achieved less, the stage is now set for an intervention by African Eminent persons led by the former UN secretary general Kofi Annan. He will be joined among others by former Tanzanian President...

A friend of a friend of mine by the name Ryan Kuja asked me of the recent Kenyan post-election violence what he can do to help. I was so touched by his offer, and I really was without words on what to tell him, coz I knew right in my spirit that what the world needs is REAL CHANGE. The whole world needs change and so do Africa & of course Kenya needs real change. You are probably wondering what I mean by real change. Let me start by defining it, “Fundamentally, Change denotes the transition that occurs when something goes from being the same to being different”. It is a transformation of something to whole new thing. Back to my friends offer, the reason why I was lost without words is that my friend had a noble intention of helping to create some change in the then current situation. However, since neither I nor he could be able to be there physically to experience what was like on the ground, we both settled to prayer in the hope that things will be better, and so things did chang...

Am always amazed when I read a lot of stuff that are going on in Africa and Kenya in particular. Talk about Drought, Hunger, HIV infection & other horrible diseases, all these I can say have caused a lot of stress to this Land and caused a lot of burden to its residents. These calamities are both nature instigated as well as “artificially” instigated. My question will be why ? All these sufferings? How about how and when can these calamities be put to rest and oh yah by who ? How about Corruption which is rampant everywhere in the world, but it is said to be more rampant in Africa, which I will agree-somewhat that it has some truth in it. A few years ago the “wealthier” nations were asked by pro-poor scholars and politicians a like to forgive “poor nations” the debts they own them. Again the focus was on Africa. This was good intentions of course! I have one problem though that I want to ask especially as a challenge to Africa Leaders, where did these trillions and trillions of d...

Am lost and without words, i can't fathom the post-election mayhem that was just witnessed in my lovely Country Kenya. I pray that God will heal the broken hearts for all those who lost their loved ones, which is really Kenya as a country has lost beloved ones in this ugly scene, the darkest week in the history of our country since Independence. God help Kenya. who is to blame for all these lives lost? this is the big question, could it be President Kibaki of PNU or could it be Mr. Raila Odinga of ODM? For sure, i don't care whether president Kibaki rigged the election, which of course seems to be backed by all evidences. However, though if Raila was a true democrat I will have expected him and other ODM leaders to have moved quickly to try and speak to their supporters to end the skirmishes. However, either willfully or not ODM leaders failed to move in to stop the Killing, this is not to imply that they in sighted their supporters, NO. My statement here is that as true democ...
