Baba Ndanyi: You should never doubt what you think is the right thing to do, in fact start the idea and you will most likely get like minded people to get on board.

Erick Author: Perhaps a more... Courageous person should. Who can lash back at the inevitable backlash. Who can ably deal with Saniaga fiery tempers na mahaaangari. 😅😅

-‬: That's what brings us down. Everybody knows it all so no one is willing to be led.

Erick Author: Exactly.

Baba Ndanyi: Stones being thrown at you for coming up with an idea is part of the deal within the Saniaga fraternity, amazi maduvuku gavula mu umuyaga!

Bensolo Ndanyi: Dreams are valid

Mudengani Kisia: Just as the library began, there also the Sacco will begin. lungafa, I think uvahullaa. Vafwanaa vavoraa you prove yourself to that extent. Tell them that complex things begin from the simple.

Jane Bwonya: A true sign of leadership is seen in the manner you deal with the stonethrowers who are out to test your temparament. Stand above the stones and use them as stepping stones to achieve your objectives.

Mudengani Kisia: Lungafa and @⁨Dr Sidika⁩  Go go go,  the  sky is the limit.  Bring light where there exists darkness.

Baba Ndanyi: We have to come up with a good way of dealing with our own shortcomings, we are an enlightened family with brains, courage, ideas and resolve, but we lack one thing, trust for one another, trust my words family, over 90% of us are very honest people and well meaning; in any setting, that percentage is way beyond the failure threshold, guys we are seating on a gold mine, we can set the pace for the rest.

Bensolo Ndanyi: True we should trust one another that's the only way could achieve alot in future with out trust we ain't going anywhere
