Congratulations to the people of ol Kalou for staying strong and united during today's unfortunate events

Infotrack usually misunderstands the Kenyan electorate by around 5-8% points, which is normal-ish in the polling world where a SD of that magnitude isn't strange. Their surveys though have to be taken by a grain of salt.

But it's best to understand the situation we are in. Only Ruto is a presidential candidate, the rest haven't yet declared. This means, whatever respondents say about Ruto is accurate to around 5 percentage points and when an opponent is eventually agreed upon, it may only hurt him further or aid him a little.

Going by this poll, Ruto will settle at around 30-40% range, which means the other contender should comfortably win by 55-65%. I honestly don't see the race tightening in favor of Ruto. And this is a damning verdict as to the general feeling around the country.

That said, 1 year is a long time in politics, every candidate's fortunes may see drastic changes, and we'll see how things unfold as we inch closer to the actual election.

Our youths have become pawns in the political theatre. No jobs, no healthcare, no future. Just being misused around by the highest bidder. More concerning is the increase in cases of state sponsored terror.

On a second thought, Duale is just an idiot.

A whole nation CANNOT be this obsessed with another country's football league. I wrote about this here in the past and people bashed me.

Football is one of the easier sports to play, and Kenya has abundant of talent. The scenes across kenya today should worry anyone concerned about the advancement of this continent. Not only did the Kenyan president congratulate the English club, virtually all Kenyan politicians and prominent people did.

We can't be perennially consuming White television programs and films, obsessed with White people's football, use their technology (me using Reddit), depend on them creating medicine to keep us alive, build for us roads, adopt their education systems, buy their finished products while exporting raw materials to them,, etc, and expect to develop this continent.

I would totally understand Arabs celebrating a European football club winning a title since they own a number of those clubs, I understand Chinese, I understand Indians, I understand Americans. What I don't understand is why an African would be this obsessed. To an extent Africans are now haggling over what European team to support in the upcoming WC despite Africa having 10 representatives in that tournament.

Where's the pride? Are we so pathetic we are incapable of basic thought? Instead of the obsession, why not learn from their successes and implement them here at home. Shame on all Kenyan European football club fans!!
