ICC mole MAKAU MUTUA insults Kenyans and Kenya BADLY - A MUST READ
The Kenyan DAILY POST Editor's Choice 14:36
Today I don’t need any crystal ball to tell
you what you know, but which you deny. We are a mediocre country, and we know
it.
We are malignant, uncouth, corrupt, and – get
this – cursed with an evil eye. But we weren’t always so little, small, and
spiteful. We used to dream big. But our dreams died. Now we have nightmares –
and night sweats.
We’ve become a defensive, easily slighted
nation. We are an epithet-riddled people. Our mouths need to be washed with
soap. Our hate-dripping fingers shouldn’t be allowed near a keyboard, or keypad.
Which begs the question – why have our brains shrunk? Are we “devolving” instead
of “evolving?” Here are five unarguable secrets we are
mediocre.
First, we’ve “outsourced” our brains – and
inner conscience – to mobs. We no longer think as individuals, but as mobs. We
are no different from a herd of buffalo. Look – “tribal identity” is the first
thing you most want to know about any Kenyan you meet.
Admit it – that’s what you hear in the
person’s name. Bingo – Makau must be Kamba, Githongo a Kikuyu, Ochieng a Luo.
That’s how you decide into which “mobs” you will “confess” or which political
cartels you will support.
We’ve become Pavlovian dogs
– we “salivate” on cue upon seeing our “mob.” We lose our individual agency
within the tribe. Full professors become tribal bloviators. They revert to
nature, and start crawling on all fours.
Tell you what – the tribal mob robs us of our
intellect, and turns us into morons. Our noggin becomes an empty calabash. Our
heads become incubators of genocidal thoughts. That’s not as big of a leap as
you think. If you doubt me, flash back to the 2008 Eldoret Kiambaa church
fire.
Our state’s – and society’s
– proclivity for anti-intellectualism is woven around the tribe. It’s all about
“eating” or looting, to be less euphemistic. Like maggots, we look to the state
for pork when “ours” are in power. That’s why power is a zero-sum game. Never
mind the existence of so-called devolved counties. The same folks who yesterday
used to “eat” in Nairobi are now pillaging county
governments.
Second, we are a corrupt
people. That’s right – we are victimised by small dreams because we have become
one of the most corrupt people on earth. Virtually every Kenyan wants a shortcut
to money. Lie, cheat, steal, kill – it doesn’t matter how you get the
money.
I know – you want to blame it all on the MPs.
But – and don’t argue here – the “little people” are equally corrupt. It’s
ironic the “little people” have the gall to complain about the naked and
rapacious greed of MPs. That’s nothing but jealousy. The “little people” would
rob us blind if they got the chance. The kettle shouldn’t call the pot black.
We’ve become a nation of thieves.
We’ve no problem stealing
from strangers. We mug each other in broad daylight. We knock down the old and
infirm and make off with their purses and wallets. But we also steal from family
members. Raise your hand if you haven’t been victimised by a relative. But we
pretend to be a religious nation. Don’t make me laugh. Unless being religious –
Christian, Muslim, Hindu, or a kamuti believer (Kamba spell) – means that you
can “pinch” that which isn’t yours with impunity.
Remember the expression –
“why hire a lawyer when you can buy a judge?” Even judges have been for sale. I
sure hope Chief Justice Willy Mutunga stamps out the vice in the Judiciary. Can
he defeat the corrupt networks?
Third, we are in love with
leaders with shady or even criminal backgrounds.
Just look at who we’ve elected into county and
national offices. One wink and we all know what I am talking about. Some are
land grabbers, suspects of egregious offences, drug addicts, and a sordid
assortment of beefy-necked pillagers squat in public offices. That’s your fault
– because you either elected them, or allowed them to manipulate their way into
office.
Remember the statement by
French philosopher Joseph de Maistre – “every country has the government it
deserves”. We elect our tormentors, and then wonder why we are being tormented.
We aren’t victims, but self-victimisers. We just love that boot of the oppressor
on our necks.
Fourth, we are jealous and
spiteful. Like maggots, we like to pull each other down.
Why aren’t we happy for the
success of others unless they belong to our mob?
The election of Senator
Barack Obama to the White House was one of the most important events that’s ever
happened to Kenya. But a segment of our population has trashed him because he’s
“Luo.”
They’ve done so because he shunned Kenya after
the 2007 re-election of President Mwai Kibaki, which he viewed as illegitimate.
Then he skipped Kenya on his recent Africa tour because of The Hague trials of
President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto. Haters can’t see
beyond President Obama’s Luo heritage. Hate only diminishes the
hater.
Finally, we are mediocre
because we refuse to accept our mediocrity. We are the terminal patient living
in complete denial. But denialists are usually doomed. Will damnation be our
lot?
What, as a country, can we
do to accept that we are below average? For one, we can start by stopping hating
everyone who tells us the bitter truth.
When Mr Obama said he would
skip Kenya, a prominent pundit asked Kenyans to “show him the contempt card.”
Wow – as if Mr Obama cares. We should stop being so sensitive, and acting like
silly brat

Mr extinguished proffessor, you're a fool... You and i both know that the west doesnt tolerate intelligent free thinking African people, but fools get embraced brotherly- they bear no threat to the status quo that white supremacy is.. How apt that some one labelled you an uncle tom!
-
Here again comes the distinguished professor of doom and malice.the shrewed vulture residing in foreign country.he care little about the motherland.he tries to dragg big names of obama to his vultureous nature.obama is an american who respects not only his kenyan african heritage but humanity at large.this stupid makau sounds very frustrated cause he been trying to poison the minds of kenyans to no avail.mr makau get this clear there are many kanyans in usa and other lands who respect and adore there country.kenya and kenyan people are bigger than a distinguished professor of doom and malice.again many of us who live or had lived in usa know the facts on the ground so trying to imply that usa is perfect rather portrays you as very un sincere or maliciously shrewd
-
for tha first time i agree with the professor
-
I strongly bliv in the power of reason n wat my friend Prof Makau hs wrttn is plain truth abt Kenya.
-
This professor is truly confused. He should come home and repeat those wild allegations instead of shouting from ivory towers;;;
-
How can Makau claim all the things he has written when sitting in a foreign land? Where was he to be elected in place of the corrupt etc leaders who were. Anyway, he said a kettle should not call the pot black. He should therefore ask himself if he is the kettle. Mavi ya kuku yeye!
-
This fake professor has now proved to be a real idiot! see how he writes ill of his mother land ! let him die in America.
-
ur rilly the topic of our own story.guddos for ua revelation.continue praising the west tail.
-
Proff, I dont think we (Kenyans) are that bad. I think you are the one suffering from amnesia which makes you to see negative, negative about your country. Like Kiraitu Murungi said recently you prefect Kenyan system while you do not want to dirty your hands. That's why I appreciate Justice Willy Mutungi who although like you was "clean" he decided to dirty his hands a little bit in the service of Kenyans. Please come over and stand for a political seat, we will vote for you, then institute the changes from within.
-
As for the character of Kenyans I almost agree with you but then you don't live here. Kenyans are lovely people who politically disagree and then turn around and do business together, share a tusker and live next to each other. There are things we need to change but then sir you have no audacity to demean your own country or call us names, who feels it knows it.
-
You white Worshiper, don't try to show us how those big countries and names care about each other and the rest, if it were so, Congo, Libya, Eqypt would be peaciful had it not their meddling in their affairs., what about the racism we experience while in their countries? so if they had paid you to try to preach to us to change so that they can puppet us around, tell them we wont and we are adamant about that!! and I know whether we change or not they don't care just as you stated.. wee kaa huko jinga hii!
-
Pure, pure, pure pure truth but these idiots cannot see beyond their noses and are insulting the Prof for telling it like it is. Go on Prof. Keep on telling them so that when we destroy our lovely Kenya, nobody will say "Mbona haukutuambia"
-
a foolish professor
-
Muikamba no Muikamba-what do you expect from his little shaven head?.
-
Makau Mutura wa ngui....you hate us we hate you back. Every evil word you've put down against the Kenyans and the Kenyan nation as a whole goes to show that you are a case study of a mental slave. Does it mean you'll never come back or you will abuse each one of us til death do us part. We are happy to live and thrive in the kind of country you have described. You are picking one too many enemies in your former motherland and out here you are NOT distinguished...you are a moron!!!
-
We cannot expect you to say anything positive you are a lonely Dog and we all know who wags your tail
-
angalia hawa ma-anonymous all they got is obama this obama that... there are more than 10 paragraph of actual sense and little minded unlearned fools like you are dimming a professor of law about obama. I totally agree with him that we would rather be hyenas than lions. GOD, i am surrounded by learned fools....
-
you had to beat about the bush trying to show us that you r advocating for kenyans only for you to mention kibaki, uhuruto, you are the most tribalistic fool of the end time. stop twisting your language but all what you are trying is to attack the elected govt of kenya. let luos rule in the usa u can also vie for the seat there. never ever will you make sense among kenyans. woe unto you for you are the one who cursed the country with an evil eye then ran away to foreign land. you willnever go to the grave without paying what you and your cord leaders do to this country. better shut up prophet of doom.
-
As much as some of the things you have quoted are facts......but you can't see your mother naked and start yelling for the public to come and look at your naked mum...so style up MR.PROFFESOR.
-
Makau you talk like the little children i teach in pre school. please concentrate on where you live and stop abusing us. we are intelligent above what you can even come near to and whatever your opinion is...... it wont change a thing. keep EJACULATING verbally imbecile!!!!!!
-
CONTINOUE CLEANING TOILETS IN THE U.S AND SHUT YOUR SMELLY MOUTH
-
what a fool..
-
This is positive criticism.....Kudos Makau.
-
Prophet of doom, he has never scribbled anything positive or objective. Always full of vitriol & hatred to people who don't even give a damn. Why the bitterness my learned fool.
-
I now more than before believe u are an educated goat which insults even a sitting President well am glad that u read what i write so here i will give it to u in black and white...the mzungu has messed up ur head so much now u reason the way u sh*t no one has portrayed himself to be more tribalistic than u and ur obsession with the President/DP betrays u as petty and childish but i guess u have reasons to worry knowing what u did...bad boy,bad boy, what u gonna do when they come for u ?
-
I agree with you totally Mr Professor!You have hit the nail on head!Any Kenyan who cannot see this is totally blind!!!
-
HAHAHAHA.......NOTHING OF ANY SENSE MR HATER ......WHAT CAN YOU TELL US CRYSTAL CLEAR ....WHEN YOU YOURSELF IS FULL OF HATRED ......YOU HAVE ALWAYS SHOWN YOUR HATRED CLEARLY .....OHOOOO I THOUGHT LEANED PEOPLE KNOW WHAT TO WRITE .....AND THE BETTER WAY TO APPROCH THINGS,WHAT SENSE CAN YOU SAY WHEN WE KNOW YOU ARE BURSTING WITH HATRED .....I DO NOT AGREE WITH HATERS LIKE YOU
-
Hey.To you Proff. Election of Obama to state House was the most important event to Americans period. Not to Kenya. He is American. He is American. He is American. Get it into your head please. American president, American interests. If you feel so American seek refuge there. We are Kenyan and will remain so. Luo, Kamba, Kikuyu, Samia, Somali, Kalenjin name it. We have our differences, we react differently to different issues. We are unimformed as you would like to put it, but we are Kenyan. Even after the resurrection of J C we will still be Kenyan. If hell was made for Kenya. We will all meet there.
-
UKWELI USEMWE......THIS GUY HAS THE GUTS TO TELL THE PLAIN TRUTH.............only NAIVE IF NOT FOOLISH INDIVIDUALS ARE COMPLAINING,this article has scored 10/10 na hio sio siri....mnaeza tusi huyu jamaa but swallow the TRUTH at the same time!!!
-
My goodness, look at how Kenyans only see the what they want to see. Prof. Makau states facts about our country and then gives his opinion (to which he is entitled). According to me, this is a completely accurate assessment of average Kenyan, those insulting him using his tribal lineage only confirm his findings.
Kudos Prof.!!!! -
Makau has done a good appraisal of himself. he is a true Kenyan. He is evil itself, he is corrupt to the brain, he is a tribalist, he belongs to a mob as he would want us to believe, he is brainwashed by obamaism, he is a hater, he always writes to please his masters, etcetera, eta ll. Kenyans dont require your rantings. We can do without your columns which we no longer read. We are contemplating not buying any paper which publishes your work. You can also imagine the many students who would prefer other universities if you were lecturing in any of our universities.(and today one can choose a university of choice in Kenya). be informed that we don't need your excesses. you treat Kenyans like the colonialists when they first met the Africans - they thought we are monkeys. Look at yourself and trust you are a Kenyan to the core. You will never be an American. We have reached unprecedented levels of education, we are also learned if it makes a difference to you. We are not imbeciles. Ever heard of the Saul/Paul story in the bible? Stop persecuting your brothers. We are Kenyans(thieves) and could be, we prefer our leaders when they are thieves, they understand us better. After all we are not as distinguished as you are.
-
True indeed Kenya is just full of Rot
-
Huyu professor ni shetani mtungi kabisa. Infact he is the one who has been writing tribal articles from america. he is the biggest tribalist na hiyo professor yake ya mavi ya kuku. come back and help build the nation. In america racism is full swing and i have never heard an american professor in kenya abusing his country. shame on you!
-
Exactly what the prof is talking about, we hate anyone who tells us the bitter truth!!!
-
Daily Post, if you fuck a dog and someone calls you a dog fucker, has he insulted you?
-
Hater, we are care not about your utopic arguments brewed in hell and served by your in a semi-sedated condition. welcome to the world. We have special ways of sorting out our problems. Your prescriptions suited only Disneyland is just refuse. Kenya is not your dumb site for your mental garbage. Rot out there with your nonsense.
-
I totally Agree.
-
Kenyans can clearly see and identify with what you are saying nonetheless rest assured that those who have benefited from the system the way it is will react angrily but as for me its 'thank you' 4 hitting the nail on the head prof....
-
All very well Prof, except you forgot you are as guilty as the rest of us! You are as Kenyan as US! Have all your articles been devoid of the evils you preach? What we need is all of us thinking together for the good of Kenya, not Holier than thou approach.
In your next contribution, deal with any of the above offering solutions and way forward. We will Greatly Thank you if yours is a workable solution devoid of politics. -
Africans don't appreciate the naked truth... They will kill to protect their incompetency,lazyness, corruption and despotism.
-
You could not have described yourself any better,so you know Mr Professor?
-
The irony in this is laughable.Taking about how Kenyans use the keyboard to write hate when you are doing the same.If you read carefully he is actually attacking a particular tribe.
-
Well, Prof. you may have a moot point but I guess it'd make much more sense and impact if you offered your "constructive criticism" from here after interacting and mingling with the majority real hardworking, incorruptible, peace-loving, non-tribal Kenyans (leave these virtual, hatemongering kenyans who typed venom represents a tiny fraction of idiots) as you also offer your valuable professorial services to your country, at least you will help some of us rise from being "below average" otherwise right now, you're just part of the brain-drain problem and what you shout from there offers no solution at all
-
"EVERY KENYAN WANTS A SHORTCUT TO MONEY,LIE.CHEAT,STEAL, KILL-...." MR MAKAU YOU ARE 90 PERCENT CORRECT HERE. BUT YOU DIDN'T GIVE THE SOLUTION FOR THIS BIG PROBLEM.
-
This dude has only described Capitalism and its after-effects, nothing else .. and as farr as it goes, America(where he resides) and the west are the 'role models' for capitalism.. Coulda made your aryicle shorter by simply citing " monkey see monkey do"
-
look who is writing, all those abuses or curses you are hauling at Kenyans, you are speaking against yourself. you are fake and not sincere to yourself, you know very well who is inciting Kenyans, watu wako n you know them. You are a liability to your country rather than an asset. Stay in America, you have nothing to offer us.
-
Makau's article is a veiled attack on one tribe, but professor should know this tribe is here to stay, like them or hate them.
-
kudos pro,naked truth................
-
I agree with you Mr. Prof.
-
But honestly, why are you Kenyan's always on the defensive? Take time to look at yourselves from outside Kenya..and you will be astounded.
-
"Makalu" "Mutura"......... Idiot!....... Kingu'ra
-
The problem with this "prof" is that he is not giving us any solution.....he just goes on to bubble like any other ordinary person when he should be in the front line leading by example. You need to start with yourself...go through your previous hate articles and tell us how better you have been as compared to rest of us. You have always been a prof for hire....spitting epithets against Uhuru and Rutto even when unprovoked. So what should we do "prof"? why don't you send your darling Obama to bomb us? what is so different in the US of A? they have lied about so many things, killed so many children, women and men in the name of "democracy". are they saints? of course NOT!. It is only fools like you who are able to buy into the well oiled propaganda machine. Do you want to say for certain there exists no racism in the USA? can you walk comfortably in a white dominated neighborhood without those guys raising an eye brow; or you feeling uncomfortable? you lie "prof" and that is truly your other name...."Prof" Lair. We are all human and there are these differences in us....tribalism in this part of the world but racism in other countries depending on the nature of variance. Even in Canada, there is tribalism of the French and English speaking regions. Belgium has been struggling to remain a state because of differences in languages....Germans, French and Dutch; so go hang yourself "Prof" Liar!!!
-
Useless! Stay there in America. You're whats commonly know as a 'house Negro'. If you were around during the struggle for independence you most definitely would have been a Homeguard. Africa (Kenya included) is rising and we most definitely DO NOT need the likes of you in our midst. Just continue enjoying your minial existance in the country you now call your home
-
Who are you calling we. Say I coz all you said relates to you and your colonised head. U r a slave in a foreign land coz you can't make it in your own land. Prof of bufaloes, the last thing we need is your stupid vomit.
-
Well said well said...he need to stick that in his dick head
-
I had dreams but not any more; if becoming a prof will shrink my precious brain and make me reason like you, then am better in a vegetative form...
-
I totally agree with the Professor, please not he is not attacking any tribe, he is simply laying down the facts as they stand. WE truly have began to devolve. It is time to evolve once again, It starts with me!
-
Some of the things you said are true but I disagree with you on Obama. On your article you are talking of Kikuyus when you said"part of population" We are both damn sure that Obama would have visited Kenya if Uhuru was Luo or if Raila was the president, or himself Obama was Kiuk! We all know that Tribalism in Kenya is like racism in the world. It is gonna take million of. years to eliminate it. With all the articles you guys are writing, you are only adding salt to an injury by creating wider tribal gaps.
-
are you married
-
MR MAKAU,
SOME HOW YOU HAVE TRIED TO SAY SOMETHING BUT YOUR PREVIOUS BIASED STAND PUT WHOLE THIS IN DOUBT.
HOWEVER CONTINUE CLEANING YOUR NAME.
TO KENYANS :MR MAKAU HAS MADE A POINT
KORIMODA -
Mr prof. every time you open your mouth your brain shuts
-
Professor might you be describing yourself? Irrespective of where you export yourself and confess to have seen the light you are still a Kenyan and if being one feels you with all that disgust it's so unfortunate. I fail to see your sense of patriotism as you enjoy over two centuries of American democracy. We have only started to walk in our democracy inspect your history and find the state of USA when they were just over a half a century in democracy.
-
Makau Mutua you're most sick man or you're in ICU & I don't think that there will be anyone can come to your aid. You enjoy insulting Kenyan people or may be you donot know what you're writing about. Perhaps you need somebody to pray for you.
-
Please tell us what he did, I am curious!
-
It is true that Kenyans are robbed by mobs. That is why Makau is robbed by the CORDED mob into thinking that only Raila can rule Kenya. And please dont bring Obama to the mess heis an honorable guy.
-
JUST VERY RIGHT! THE SOLUTION TO KENYANS IS; BURNING THEIR BRAINS IN HELL, OTHERWISE THEIR IGNORANCE WILL SOON KILL THEM- WE HAVE SO MANY EXAMPLES TO LEARN FROM, BUT NO! WE THINK WE ARE SMART! FOOLS! KENYA IS SO LOW EVEN SOMALIA IS BETTER TO COMPARE WITH.SOMEONE CLASSIFIED KENYANS AS THE MOST UGLY, HUNGRY HATEFUL AND JELOUS IN THE WORLD! A CURSED LOT- GOD HAS NOTHING TO DO BUT OUR POLITICIANS HAVE- Kenyatta,Moi,Kibaki and now Uhuru- THESE 2GETHER WITH THEIR LOT ARE THE REAL CULPRITS! YES THEY TRIMMED OUR BRAINS!A CHANGE WILL BE OF GREAT HELP TO OUR LITTLE MINDS. YES A CHANGE OF 100% OF EVERYTHING IN KENYA!!!!STARTING BY CHANGING THE NAME KENYA TO SOMETHING LIKE MAJIMBO LAND OR TYRANNY LAND BETTER KIKUYU LAND AND SO ALL OF US ARE CONVERTED TO NATURALLY BORN KIKUYUS! SO, THIS WAY THE WHOLE KENYA WILL BE FAIR TO LIVE IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(joes)
-
Mutua,you are just a sick colonized mind but no matter how much time you waste pushing it down our throats, we can never see it through your already auctioned mind. Look for better ways of handling your guilt. You are pathologically hypocritical.
-
Kenyans, a really useless LOT if I must say, let me reiterate the Prof's sentiments with little examples; when boarding matatus at rush hour, don't people scramble and even shove-off the old/weak or young or pregnant women, this is just an example of what the Prof is mentioning here, but the TRIBAL FOOLS/GOONS don't see that, yet their mouths are quick to shout the name of the Lord, I have totally failed to understand the rotten minds and hearts of Kenyans!!! Full of HATE, BITTERNESS, TRIBALISM and all sorts of EVIL yet calling God all the time, God this God that, God has annointed this one and that one, total Nonsense!!!!
-
There is some level of truth in what he says..one of those rare moments whereby I agree with the professor..but the Obama bla! bla! bla! has soiled the the otherwise good and honest article
-
I FULLY AGREE AND SECOND YOUR BARE KNUCKLE TRUTH SON OF KENYA! NEXT TIME WRITE ABOUT THE SPECIFIC TRIBES PERPETUATING THE VICES OF TRIBALISM AND "FALSE-SUPERIORITY COMPLEX SYNDROME" HIT MORE BELOW THE BELT BY TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH!!!
-
NGULI FROM HELL, AMERICA IS NOT HEAVEN, INSTEAD OF CRITISIZING WHEN YOU ARE FAR, YOU, 'MR CLEAVER ONE' SHOULD BE HERE AMONG THE SO YOU CALL FOOLS, TRY AND EDUCATE THEM INSTEAD OF YELLING FROM AFAR. KEEP YOUR VIEWS TO YOURSELF, WE ARE BETTER OFF WITHOUT YOU. YOU HAVE NO SENSE OF BELONGING, YOU MONKEY.
-
Has the Prof. taken any reading on history of human civilization? How old is Africa civilization or the so called 3rd world countries compared to the west? Why did Africa stagnate for so long?? anything to do with colonization? The so called developed countries passed through the worse form of vises. The Prof. has been blinded by the western civilization and is disowning his own mother for being dusty and not looking so cool now that he is civilized and can identify more with the west. He should shut-up and leave us alone. As a Prof.he should have critical thinking capacity and offer constructive criticism.
-
Truth be told, you've hit the nail on the head! That's what we are & need to do something about it!!!
-
So true! If you have a problem agreeing with this, you need help ASAP! When shall we ever stop thinking along tribal lines?
-
You don't say such things about your country, no matter what, especially when you're in a foreign land.
Why don't you come home and fix the rot instead of yapping such nonsense from a "Stainless, 'Un-corrupt', racism-less, tribalism-less 'Perfect'" country, or wherever the hell you are... -
So easy to talk from your masters home. Why don't you come to Kenya and lecture us from here? Utaimba ukichoka unyamaze.
-
Kubafu wewe, wacha kutututusi! u r just a learned ideot.! use your Congosity!!!
-
The gay professor Makau Mutua is an asshole.
