Matatizo tuliyonayo makubwa ni kujaribu kuishi maisha jinsi yalivyokuwa yapata miaka maelfu na maelufu iliyopita wakati biblia ilipoandikwa. Agano la Kale (Old testament) liliandikwa yapata miaka elfu mbili na mia sita iliyopita! Siku hizo Wayahudi walikuwa jangwani (desert) wakipanda ngamia na punda kama njia yao ya kusafiria. Agano Jipya (New Testament) liliandikwa tangu Mwana Mariamu afe, yapata miaka 1,900 iliyopita! Dunia imebadilika sana kwa hiyo huwezi kuishi maisha ya siku hizo wakati huu.

Ukisoma Mwanzo (Genesis) 22:17, inasema, " Mtazaana kama nyota zilizo mbinguni na pia kama mchanga (sand) ufuoni mwa bahari." Wanasema mungu wa Wayahudi ndiye aliyesema maneno haya.

Jamani, nyota hazili chakula wala kuvaa nguo. Mchanga wa baharini hauvai nguo, kula chakula, au kwenda shuleni! Nimesema mara nyingi ya kwamba, matatizo tuliyonayo makubwa ni kujaribu kuishi maisha ya watu wengine.

Idadi imezidi Kenya, hakuna mashamba ya kutosha kuzalisha chakula ambacho kinaweza akili tuliyopewa na MWUMBAJI ili tuyatatue matatizo tuliyo nayo yanayotokana na kutopanga maisha kulingana na hali jinsi ilivyo sasa.

Wanafunzi wanapomaliza chuo kikuu na hawawezi kupata kazi maisha yanakuwa magumu sana. Mimi sisemi ya kwamba waende kuvunja nyumba za watu au kungoja wananchi wanapotoka benki ili wawaibie pesa zao! Hasha! La! Ni lazima walio na pesa waanze kujenga viwanda vya kutoa ajira kwa mamilioni ya vijana wasio na kazi.

Kwa nini mkristo Ruto haanzi mara moja kujenga viwanda badala ya kwenda kanisani kutoa hongo kwa matapeli viongozi wa makanisa ili wafuasi kondoo (blind followers) wampigie kura 2022! Asipokatazwa kwenda makanisani kutoa hongo kila Jumapili, baada ya miaka minne hakuna Mkenya atakayeweza kumshinda kwenye uchaguzi. Ni lazima aonywe mara moja aache kutoa hongo ili awe rais wa Kenya 2022. Ni lazima aache kupeleka siasa makanisani mara moja.

@Guest1,@Anos, Mucang'ang'a: Waswahili husema, "Aisyesikia la mkuu mwisho huvunjika guu." Asanteni sana kwa kunikosoa kwa mawaidha yenu. Nimesikia na pia nawashukuru sana.

Ningependa Wakenya wote wakosoane kama vile @Guest1, @Anos, @Mucang'ang'a walivyonikosoa.

Edmund Burke (1729 - 1797) alisema:

"The only thing necessary for the triump of evil is for good "men" (people) to do nothing.

Ni lazima Wakenya wazuri wafanye kazi pamoja kupinga uovu popote ulipo mpaka tuikomboe nchi yetu kutokana na uhalifu uliopo sasa.
