When i was eight years old, i remember we presented a skit on colors. The Skit was about why God made the rainbow. With all the events happening in Kenya, the skit applies to our beloved Country.
I was Orange and there was blue, red among other colors. The colors were fighting, each trying to prove it was better than the rest. Red claiming it was all powerful, Blue claiming it was God's favorite and Orange claiming it was the strongest. It was the battle of the mighty. The part i remember most is where God intervenes he says "You stupid colors fighting among yourselves, don't you know i created you all, none of you is mighty than other. I created you to help each other not to fight". I don't know why after all these years i still remember that part.
The story of colors, is a lesson for all Kenyans, we are brothers and sisters. We are from different tribes, Mijikenda,Taita, Luo, Kikuyu ETC, but none is too important than the other. We need each other, i need my luo brother to make sure i get my fish, i need my Kikuyu sister to make sure i get my Githeri on time, i need my Swahili Old man to remind me the words of wisdom from yester years.
Kenyans we are one...my bestfriends are not from my tribe yet we get along so well, lets not hate each other over something so small.
God Bless Kenya.

I was reading an article online the other day and some guy in a certain region in our beautiful country was complaining that all the compitent mechanics in that region had been kicked outas a result of the Post-election violence. This has compromised the quality of service given to his ryde and he was like 'i need my kenyan brother back coz i cant stand this whack services any more'.
Honestly dear, just like the rainbow, we need each other.
