all about the Kenyan idiot

Okey let me be totally honest about my motives for starting down this path. I have always been better with a pen in my hand.

I begin this voyage into my mind with you out of the sheer frustration with the local papers for not publuishing my oppinions in their pages! I chose the name KenyanIdiot for two reasons: 1.To poke fun of politicians / people & the situations around me and 2. and most important as a refrence to myself as just an ordinary person with something to say: I am the Idiot.

The tittle came from a conversation with my sister about the crazy world of politics in this country. You see like many avarage people we like to talk about our politics, politicians and their latest shinanigans, but make no mistake this blog won't be just political!

Enjoy.

    Well well well. Kudos on starting you own literary journey (or journal depending on how one views this) and I really do think your words should be published so that our incompetent government (well most of the leaders we have dont know what they're doing in office!) can learn from a bright young mind like yours! Hope this wont eat up all your time though, for I still need a constructive critic for my poetry! Lol! Keep it up my dear! :-)

    When there is something to be said, there will always be an outlet (even if it is not the one you think it should be at first :-))You have always been great with the pen and I am so proud. Looking forward to hearing a lot more from you. As hubby said you are off to a great start!!! It is amazing what a little chat can lead to...

The Big car syndrome

Everyone- at least here in Africa has an ongoing fascination and a never ending love-affair with big four wheel drive cars. If you have one everyone else assumes that you're rich, this is in many cases an over assumption because most people who have large cars have loaned money from their banks to acquire not only the car but also the sense of status it brings. This syndrome is so far in-bread within us even our MP's refuse to drive smaller more money saving cars calling them 'school boy' vehicles. These false ideas are irritating, and, more importantly drive many who can not afford them to the brink poverty and possible bankruptcy just for the show of it. We seem to be drawn to the flashy things in life like moths to a flame, it seems we all love to show off to our would be friends. It seems like, some of our politicians and super rich wouldn't be caught anywhere in small saloon cars. They are so attached to their four wheeled friends that they are no longer a

Of Ng'an'galito and his talent search

Ati what? Ng'anga, a talent scout.... lord help us all! This news reminds me of the just concluded TPF3 and judge Ian Mbugwa's never ending cynicism and frustration at some truly cringe worthy auditions. And the fact that the man himself-Ng'anga- was on probation a total of six times, much more than any other contestant on all previous seasons.How did he make it to the finale? I'm still bamboozled! Ian and other seemingly harsh judges like him brings me to the question: who on earth will judge the contestants? Surely not Ng'an'galito himself! And people, the man is Kenyan why the Spanish add on? Where did that one come from? Unfortunately or fortunately it seems to have stuck to him like glue. Another thing, I've just realised how the format of the up-coming show is a copy-paste of America's got talent which concluded last night on NTV with Bianca Ryan walking away with the million dollars - which I must say was well deserved. Can we please come up w
