Am generally not a patient person but this week I think that I have quashed that much clung onto assumption.
Life is actually very funny come to think about it.
I have grown (yes in a week) to appreciate the consolation of a newspaper to an idler
(That is what has become of me this week.....and idler)
I read it (newspaper) top to bottom, every advert, article, obituary(in fact i know ''them'' by name) you name it i've read it.
Listened to all the music that i carry around with me (am surprised that i actually listen to all this sh#@) and replied every text and phone call in the hopes of a chart.
Why all this?? because i have decided to join those who claim to be building the nation.
But then again it was my choice and so let me suffer the consequences.....but not for long i tell you.....not for long
I started out this year with alot of positive energy and God help me i'll cling onto that till it kills me (you should think of doing the same too)
Plus am thinking at this rate my blog shall be once again quite active
Its finally lunch time and at least half the day was well spent online
now for my much loved newspaper for the rest of the day
xoxo
till next time(it might be sooner, maybe a couple of hours??........i don't know)

''CONTENTIOUS ISSUES''
Constitution, constitution, constitution
Have been holding it in too much, but we all know that I had to say something at some point.
Well let’s see the three biggest contentious issues are Abortion, khadhi courts and land ownership
Let’s just be real, do those even qualify as ‘’contentious issues’’?? Seeing how it’s just a bunch of disgruntled religious (church) leaders and an ex president and his dodgy cronies who are crying foul.
What is the meaning of democracy? there are two principles that any definition of democracy includes: equality and freedom. These principles are reflected in all citizens being equal before the law and having equal access to power.and the freedom of its citizens is secured by legitimized rights and liberties which are generally protected by a constitution.
Well the there we have it, if majority rules ………… get with the program
But really let’s look at these ‘’issues’’ for what they really are.
Abortions have, are and will always be performed. It’s a procedure as old as prostitution. Am I saying that all should adopt the ‘pro-choice’ school of thought? No. all am saying is that these church’ leaders’’ should stop manipulating that clause to influence the public.
‘’They’’ say it’s better to lose the water than the port’’ seeing as to how you could always go back to the river.
But I believe that this is not even an argument about abortion but about the fact that the woman is finally getting a voice. Let’s face it majority of this church leaders are male, and by the way as a fact majority of all religious leaders in the world are male. It all started with the insecurities of a few back in history and that sense of paranoia is still rife.
I say concentrate on your flock. You have pedophiles to rid the society off (but hey, a confession and 10 Hail Mary’s later fixes it and if that’s the case you shouldn’t worry ‘’they’’ won’t repeat it.
Plus if ‘’you’’ preach against contraception what do you expect is going to happen???
About those khadhi courts………………….. I have nothing to say apart from WTF (excuse my language)
Do you see any other religion up in arms about it? I’ll assume that they are well aware of the fact that it doesn’t really affect them. Plus one would assume that the main courts are Christian courts and just put a sock on it.
‘’You’’ all own half of this country and now ‘’you’’ all are scared that finally local mwananchi is going to get in on a piece of the action. In fact some had 24 years to do something about it and well….we all know how that ended.
Fact of the matter is that these ‘’contentious issues’’ are laced with testosterone. Yeah! I said it.
It all boils down to GREED, FEAR AND DESIRE FOR POWER.
