YOU LAZY AFRICAN INTELLECTUAL

-

Somebody please confirm otherwise. Aren’t we lazy in tackling development issues even with the increasing number of literacy levels in Kenya? It is the African intellectuals who do not dream big and are too lazy to save Africa from the nightmare called 'DEBT' and poor infrastructure and unstable economy. The poor Africans are the most hardworking, who toil and strive to live better lives.



The education we cannot stop pursuing only brainwashes us to think white collar jobs, office life, 8 to 5PM job, and when we go to bed we do not dream ‘big’. You the educated African is lazy to think far to a stable Africa, and is selfish, all you want is a car, a mansion, a spouse, and two kids, and you do not give a damn how Agriculture, and tourism has been affected over the years.

 We have imprisoned our own selves into silly dreams and are comfortable to live as far as our little dreams. We want the other person to make it a better place and be the first to tell the tale. It is annoying that we are not what our kids look up to. Go ahead and ask a teenager who inspires them, do not be shocked if it is not you as a parent or any African leaders? They all want to be as big as someone in the West. Who will be that African role model besides those who fought for our independence?
 We all want to fly oversees to further our Education in the Western schools whom the West have made them great. We are too lazy to make our own stand out. It starts from as little things as changing schools for you kids, when you take them to the better school in a different neighborhood, why can’t you improve the one in your neighborhood so as your kids and others will not have to go too far? Why is it so hard for us to think, put down our ideas, and following them up to implementation? Why do we forget too soon the development promises only to vote in the top most corrupt officials into power and praise them for it???

 WE GOT AFRICA TO PUSH TO SUSTAINABILITY, WAKE UP, TIME FOR REVOLUTION!! I AM A YOUTH, I AM AFRICA!!

How did you end up in Turkana and other stories...

How did you end up in Turkana??? I get this question a looot! I guess many ask this because of the preconceived biases based on what they have either watched on telly or heard. It's a simple lack of exposure to the beauty of Turkana. If anything, I encourage questions about Turkana so people can learn. It's either that (free) or you come visit (learn). So.... My name is Esther Mwangi, and yes I am from Turkana. To make it short, my Dad came to Turkana 54 years ago as an Accounting Clerk. Mum followed 11 years later. The two have together made a name for themselves and have become a great part of the community. That means, I was born, bred, educated, and nourished at the heart of Turkana in Lodwar. I did not end up here, this is home. A selfie of me in a full Turkana regalia. Many know Turkana for its climatic condition, and being sorrounded by three countries comes with its challenges, and that may be the other reason we are known for. Hey, we have our challenges but, allo...

My 12-year career journey: A reflection

-

As I reflect on my 12-year journey across various sectors— including private sector (from real estate, PR agencies, hospitality, consultancy), non-profit, and now government— I've gathered invaluable insights that I wish I had known at the start of my career.  Mind you, it took me a while to land a permanent job that I was reffered to as a professional volunteer. I am eternally grateful because volunteering shaped me. In my first 'real' job, I was featured on Parents Magazine Africa- Phenomenal Women- "Don't sit waiting for a job, volunteer and doors will open". I was a very young woman in a managerial position in a real estate company then. Doors did open, and I pray they stay open.  Each experience has shaped my perspective, and I'm eager to share these lessons in the hopes that they resonate with those just starting on their professional paths. I am a work in progress and enthusiastic about the future. So, before diving into my insights, I urge everyone...

FRIENDSHIP UNCURTAINED

The best time to make a friend is when you do not need one. Friendship comes in a very weird and unplanned manner. Think of how you became friends with your own best friend, where and how you met, who said hi, or did you just start talking. Was it funny, fun, or totally out of place? What was your first impression of them? were you introduced to each other or did you just make friends? Two words best describe this; a relationship and mutual. So, there has to be a relationship between two or more people, who hold a mutual understanding for each other. A relationship is an association between two people that may be short or long term. it may also be intimate or interpersonal. Mutual on the on the hand means  reciprocal, with respect or towards the other. Friendship in essence then means you have the other person in mind, you consider how they feel and how they are doing at all times. Friendship is simply selfless. A friend is someone who you first know well, understand e...
