Luanda Reggae Defenders - what is your long term agenda?

Luanda Reggae Defenders is a now a popular movement with roots in Vihiga and border Siaya and Kakamega counties Attention is brought to the manner and conduct the movement has gained fame and followers, mainly the Youths. The movement capitalizes on funerals. With a poor culture of putting the dead to rest, the Reggae Defenders have taken it by storm and rebranded the infamous ‘Disco Matanga’ – disco at funeral.

They have this huge old school sound system that is over buzzing to no clear reggae song - that they hire a pickup to carry - and it has a young DJ mainly standing there than mixing anything. Often, against the rules, the casket is grabbed from a hearse vehicle and tied to a motorbike. There it will be swayed and jerk breaked between other motorbikes on the narrow roads. That, is, how a fellow soldier, often a young dead, is mourned. ...

PETER JAMES; FAITH NOVEL


If the novel was something Christian, I could not have bought. There is no creativity in those who write about Holy illusionary books. The novel is at peace from  biblioklepts because of its cover and only readers rush to the blurb and realize that the Author is a genius.

The story is about love and that is what I will look at it from.

Ross is my man; Faith, the wife I don’t want to marry and Oliver, the person I don’t want to ever meet. I shared insights with a friend-her name is Faith- after lending her the book and she had an otherwise thought. Whatever authors do to people’s mind is unspeakable.

Ross fights for what belongs to him and applies the rules of the jungle. He knows that love is the greatest feeling and explores it to death. He kills his mother because of her err to it or sharing (his father’s love) the love with another man.

Faith, like any modern unstable woman sees grass green on the other side. If you asked me what Ross had done to make her develop an attitude, I would tell you to try court a flower in its bloom. Faith in her ‘innocence’ thinks that love is getting what you don’t have without knowing that not everything we wish for comes to be. She is an irresponsible modern woman who is not ready for two children despite her wealthy status.

Oliver, the king of juju in African eyes, is King David who knows well that Beersheba is married and still goes in to her. There is nothing as friends when it comes to matters of man and woman. What unites the two souls is pre-sex feelings what Ross is well aware of. Oliver, like astronauts believes – people of beliefs- that Faith can survive with a right mental attitude. Can he come to Kenya and tell AIDs patients to do away with ARV’s and believe? Stolen water is sweet yes, but the effects are bitter! He is a representative of the BFFs in campus that go about satisfying your lady when she runs to them in whines.

Who will save us from our desires and aspirations? Ross loves for real. Faith is tired for real and Oliver is opportunistic for real. Now that Ross is dead, what is the world that Faith lives in? Will her son not set them ablaze for killing his father?


There is too much to explain indeed, crazy Faith.
