THE YOUTH ARE A THREAT TO MILLENIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS.
By Ramadhan Wahy Rajab
The societal paralysis we are facing today is because we have allowed transformation of our society into a society of ‘garbage collectors’ and apes.
The gradual erosion in our culture and vast adaptation to obnoxious lifestyle trends by the young generation, is clearly sounding a death knell to the realization of any economic strides that will alleviate us from poverty.
The weakening of the societal fabric is moving third world nations further from achieving their ambitious Millennium Development Goals (MDGs.) Kenya being the worst affected.
Those seen as steering this programmes seems not ready to pick up the mantle. They remain with a consolation that they are future leaders. To put it candidly they are future Failures.
Kenya is evolving as a nation where boys are up in competition with their mother’s makeup they want to have the latest hairdo. They are out to look like their mothers. They are fighting to be feminine. On the other hand the youthful ladies are busy searching for latest trends worse even some want to be like their fathers.
The ladies are quick to demand for gender equity while they are not ready to take the mantle to justify their claims. They only sit to seek favors. The boys on other hand want to get rich quickly. Where on earth can you pluck money without working for it? It is even biblical that hard work pays.
Our youth want to have money that they are not ready to look for. This is why they go for queer means of looking for money. They turn out to spend thriftily where savings is highly abhorred. It sad to see the youths copying everything from the whites because it is morally right but its sound palatable to the age brackets. Others copy to experiment not involving their consent. What society are the youths building?
When did the rain start falling on us? Identifying this may be the only prescription to revert the rot threatening to throw the economy and the country to the dogs. We’ve nurtured a TV society where kids as young as three years are glued to TV screens for hours.
Videos and latest movies have remained the major rewards to children by their parents. Hard work and struggle is no longer encouraged. We are seeing youth who want things to come their way without working. I fault the parents who are giving out the fish to their kids and reluctant to show them how to fish.
The modern youths are prone to handouts that they misuse in stupid entertainment. Parents do this to please their ever cuddled and pampered children. You wonder why Africa despite its potential still lags behind in almost everything and charity remains the only source of livelihood?
It is explained better and understood that the youths have never been shown the way to rise and prove their worth. We have remained with notions that there are no opportunities for the youth.
The old guards have stuck on the throne. But one question begs; where are the youth to demand and agitate for these positions? We are either being used by the political elite to maim, and harass their opponents, only to come and mouth after they dump us immediately when their selfish desires are met. We don’t stop even for minute to think of the day after tomorrow. We bite fingers and blame almost everything on everyone while we are savages.
As much as we would like to celebrate Obama’s victory, we should not count ourselves as winners if we are still clinging on the past. Obama’s hope should be a driving force, we cannot achieve this by sitting back and expect results. We should prove ourselves by coming out with credentials and well built personalities.
The Kenyan youths way of life should be dumped far from reach. The celebration of life in terms of entertainment and liquor should not be part of punctuations for them, but hard work and sacrifice of magnitude. Lets celebrate our life in terms of output in steering the economic wheel.
John F Kennedy adage reminds us that the future of a nation is determined by the current prospects of the youths. Lets start it today so that we finish it tomorrow.

The New Year That Was Never Happy
This New Year guys and Guess everyone of yu will agree with me that Xmas and New Year's Day came to pass with little attention thanks to the then charged political atmosphere. As a Human Rights activist, I take every opportunity to gracefully congratulate my colleagues who stood tall and voted during the last General Election, those who never voted, SHUT UP! All of us did the best thing. We Voted, over 450 souls were lost and close to quarter a million others displaced. My brethren Peace is Vital and always embrace it.
The events preceding the announcement of the controversial Presidential results should have no room in
Secondly may I speak as a Kenyan who for the whole of my lifetime I've never witnessed such a massive wanton destruction and indiscriminate killing by both Police and civilians. Imagine gun shots claiming lives were so obvious just because we tossed our votes and someone 'rigged stupidly and openly' leaving the other person with something to complain about and propel us to what the country has become. Peace is Noble and let’s embrace it. Let politicians find political solutions to their political problems but never love to hate. To my fellow friends of the Pen and Pictures; we owe the whole world a duty; the sole duty of delivering what is right to the audience. Teargas, Stones, Gunshots should never shake you. Move on with just that...............
May the very best of this New Year 2008 be of great importance and this upon you to decide whether it should be prosperous or tumultuous.
Thanks.
Ramadhan Wahy Rajab.,

Were it not for rebeion by man to God, the world was intended to be Heaven to man. Since that time Adam sinned, man and the world have been condemed. But due to God's mercy, salvation was brought by Jesus to the world through his death. anyone who wishes to have eternal life he /she should carry the cross.

Can anyone tell me about what God think with people He created and what He also think about the world and everything that therein?
