It is only my Luhyas & Luos who come on Twitter to abuse each other.

We even import village disagreements to Twitter.

I don't see Kikuyus or Kalenjin washing their linen here despite being in different political camps.

Growing in a scarcity mindset is a bad thing.

Shame!

We pride ourselves in demeaning each other in public to attract attention of our financiers.

We call each other unprintable adjectives to gain approval from the wealthy machinery financing our mouths.

We compete on who has the most smartest vocabulary of insults.

Shame!

Yet when your brother builds a business, you are the first to dismiss it and even plot its downfall.

You cannot support your brother because “he will be successful than me”

Growing up in a scarcity mindset is really a bad thing.

Shame!

Kikuyus and Kalenjins look at us and wonder what kind of material created us.

Nyanza and Western Kenya has the most vibrant and resourceful economy if harnessed can run 40% of Kenya’s economic machinery.

But we are chocked by ‘Mbekho mbekho’ mentality.

Shame!

Here on Twitter, most followers who abuse and demean me are my Luhyas.

It is absurd seeing Babu Owino & Nelson Havi abuse each other or Aoko and Odhiambo trade insults in public all in the name of pleasing their financiers.

What a shame!

I have argued before that for other communities to respect us and even listen to us, we must put our houses in order.

We must first create wealth and build a powerful regional economic machinery.

We must build billionaires.

There is no shortcut to political dominance.

The political competition you are seeing in Kenya is not between Raila and Ruto,

These are puppets.

It is a battle between the billionaires of rift valley and Mt Kenya.

It is about control of state machinery.

Don't be cheated.

We, Luhyas and Luos are flower girls.

What do you Luos and Luhyas have to ask for political power?

Just a lake?

How many billionaires do we have to sit at the state table and demand for state resources?

Political power has nothing to do with the welfare of citizens but the interest of billionaires.

Unless we value each other, support each other, we will remain flower girls when the big boys are dancing.

We leave our villages to go to Nairobi to drink alcohol instead of investing back at home and building local businesses.

We either change or perish.

Finally, just read the replies,

My argument is well justified.

The first thing on their fingers is “how can I abuse this man”?

“ How can I dismiss this man and appear smarter than him”?

We either unplug or perish.
