Ethnicity in campus.

Provocation! Why do you have to remind a person of his past?  This has afflicted the tribal affiliations in our country recently. Even here in campus, the pathogens causing tribalism are vividly present. It is amoral for any individual to get involved in this choking and an immature condition. It is classism if you segregate your fellow comrade because his roots are from Mombasa, Makueni, Tharaka Nithi, Siaya, and Kesses or even from Mandera. It is a political injustice to casket yourself in such cocoons. Absolutely a great shame!
Basing my reasoning from the prevailing situation here in campus, it is not a surprise that student group themselves from ethnical grounds be it class groups or even socially. Who should be blamed for this? Are they our forefathers or us? It is a shame that Onyango and Kamau cannot be together simply because they have ideological differences and also parallel political interests. Just the other week I witnessed a duo fight reasons being provocation. It started when subject A reminded subject B that he was a looser because she had victoriously won the last “paper”. We should shun from such menace which can poison our relationships as comrades and also as Kenyans. Another scenario was when a very close friend of mine early this semester went to his club meeting only to realize that almost 90% of the club’s officials were from one particular tribe. I simply asked him, “Were they vetted and voted for?” our conversation then came to an end.
It is noble to be together in all situations that unifies us. Be your brother’s keeper and also learn to protect him at all levels. We were made to believe by the Most High that LOVE is something which should be practice by every human being.
The situation in campus is getting out of control and appropriate steps should be taken to curb this situation. If George Bush and Mohammed Doyo cannot be together then something is wrong. Same to Jeff Kenyatta and Misigo Michael. The point here is that something is rotting amongst us. Our relationship! The spirit of comradeship will be high if we see Doyo and Bush shaking hands same to Jeff and Misigo.  Normally when two bulls are fighting, grass suffers a lot while the herdsman enjoys it. It is to my opinion that we embrace the spirit of brotherhood just to promote good relations. if you keenly analyze reasons why the two parallel groups were fighting over the amendment of the constitution, it is simply because of two major reasons. One reason was because of ethnicity of the former group in that there was an over dominance of one major tribe. The other reason is a long one and will feature next time. It is not right to say that we have three major tribes and others in Kenya. Absolutely it’s wrong!
We should repackage our conscience to learn to accommodate one another irrespective of their tribes. Never be intractable to associate with others as this will erase cases of intrusion within Moi University community. Intolerant behavior should also be pulled out of our diaries and insert “Amicus friendlier” characters. Together we will strive for excellence if we let comradeship peddle our struggle. Turn on the light and never let darkness bewitch you in the name of tribal ethnicity.

Does degree worth it?

-
  Kenya and the whole world have been experiencing an influx in the index of job seekers who are aggressive in the search. It has even reached a state whereby individuals do not even care if the job is really related to the degree they had acquired. Don’t be surprised to witness a highly qualified once engineering student teaching physics. It really wasn’t their wish but due to globalisation and survival for the fittest, he found himself on the weaker organisms’ side thus he was weeded out. Paving their way through was very difficult since the race proved not only to consist of papers but also their personality. It was a formality which made others to despair even before the completion of the task intended. Some are just by virtue presenting their soul in the classes instead of actually attending to take courses. Interviews have ambushed many who thought that the literature on the paper would speak for them yet the interviewers know that those were mwakenya’s result but not th...
