Thumbs up, whistles sharper and drums
louder to the sons and daughters of soil for bringing glory and fame to the
land. Gods are proud and they want us to learn from that experience.
Kikuyus, Luhyas and Luos are silently
admiring the medals brought by their kinsfolk- Kalenjin. Some identify by them
and others silently feel jealous that fame fell on the wrong group. I was
sharing this morning with a shoe shiner over the same and he had his wisdom.
'If they were of Luo descendants, their
caravans could be packed at the airport, with some having it tough with police
in town as they waited for the jet to land. The noise could be too much to bear
and the sugar deal would be a discussion at the corner of the eye.' He talked
some other vivid past experiences.
And I thought what Kikuyu would react if
they were the runners. Matters ICC would be brought into the light wickedly.
Tanzania would know who they really are- the government. Ngugi wa Thiong'o came
in to speak to his people and not even his learned kins fed from his calabash
comfortably. Luo, not knowing that Ngugi is non-government despised him by the
name. When Obama came, they termed him 'their saviour'.
Kalenjins have won and the Earth is
serene. As they smile, only hope is shown in the gap of the front teeth-
beautiful! The Earth is comfortably rotating from East to West.
We have not given the Beijing competitions
the reputations they deserved. Teachers strike is her to evaporate the
celebrations. Our men competed on a world stage- like a world cup. Imagine
America with like '40 Kenya’s' topped India, Eurasia, Australia and the Earth
could not match us! The incidences of drug use that international media
concentrated on is unfortunate- Kenyans have a brand!
Football in Kenya is a theatrical venture.
Our third world plays cannot take us to the world's centre stage- But we have a
consistent athletic successful output. Why can't we invest in that? Why can't
we build better and worldly athletic facilities? Why can't athletics be our
nationhood brag tag?
We know that our Nandi escarpments, food
and societal morals keep us strong. This relates that even if Qatar offered
Yego a billion shillings to ditch Kenya, we would still give rise to sons that
will pass him like wind on the field.
Ours as a nation is to aim high, support
internal abilities, do away with blind politics and bring the right media to
the children's heads. We should cast our ambitions as far as 100M and our races
as fast as a deer running to Mars.
