50 shades of grey or stray

My opinion.

Most Africans who have visited America testify that movies do a great deal of advertising for America because what they saw on the ground was not what they watched in the movies.

The movies showed utopia reality showed earth. A part of the earth.

Being Kenyan I get pissed off when local movies or programs having lewd segments because those were the same things we were watching before the post election violence of 2007-08. Then we thought we were just okay but families were breaking and we didn't give a damn about that. We assumed that our rights were not being violated that we were actually enjoying them when when such lewd scenes crossed our screens.

Under the table ethnicity was being a big issue, people weren't getting divided over ethnic lines, politicians were largely speaking trash (just being modest), created hate one to another, when they were broadcast on television, horrible.
They shamelessly gave promises they knew they couldn't fulfill and so on and so foth.

I don't think movies of the type of 50 shades of grey do any nation any marketing, only perverts can go to such a one.

I liked a debate once on television that concluded that some things are good but should be done in private not in the city square.

There was a character that was having a 'good time' with his girl friend in some gardens here in Kenya, some other character took a video of the 'good time' and posted in on YouTube. Private things went public.

There are Many good things in America but since controversy sells you can guess what is heard abroad, movie directors can at any time give either the good or the not so good priority and thus sell the consequential image of America.

I have said here before, when we give good upbringing to our children they will without a doubt became good, badly they shall also be bad.

Just me Hollywood should market America properly, reminds me of some characters that are marketing their religion forcefully. Do you know them?

Just learned that one of  Ray J's uncle is....

The Price of greatness by David Oyedepo (Breaking New Grounds) PDF

Breaking new grounds is a costly endeavor for who of you intending to build a tower sits not down first and counted the cost? Every tower you see today behind it is a tower cost there is a tower price behind ever standing tower today. many people settle for status quo because of the seeming unbearable cost that breaking new grounds demands this generation is not interested in the cost they are only interested in the feat they want the results but they are not interested in the price so they keep chasing after the wind all their life he should count the cost whether he has sufficient to finish it lest haply after he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish it all that behold it begin to mock him saying this man begun to build and was not able to finish every  prize carries a price as a fining pot for silver and the furnace for gold, so is a man to his praise. so the level of dignity you command is a function of the price you are willing to pay every great accompl...

I liked this interview, talks so much sense. In Kenya we have 10% of population controlling 45% of the economy. That is shocking. My great problem at times is that there are many problems that require little investment but will produce immense benefits. The great problem as Dr. Karungu here says is that we are not producing middle class. We have to really deal with traditions e.g. study get a job, do business to to buy a car and a house. Knowledge always brings people to rest, whether in religion for my case Christianity or Economy. I hope you know that more than doing busy-ness people need to do business, create not just employment but meaningful employment. Since many just want to pay personal bills e.g. in Molo, there is no strategy management in place just mere competition with local businesses. As one said  "If you think education is expensive try ignorance". It is severely expensive. In my talks in schools I find that what really inspires teens is...

Down here is a picture of EAML, East African Malting LTD, I recently was in Narok and to get there I used the Molo - Kericho - Bomet route. Along this route I happened to see such great facilities used to process tea. For your information Kericho is not just beautiful, it is beau-tea-ful. The landscape of the town is covered by tea even hawkers in Kericho town sell tea cuttings, that you can plant. From Kaisugu, Finlay, Unilever among many others that paint the town green. The other day on a local television station highlighted the fact that some of these farms have been planted in the Mau Forest. Politicians .... let's leave them alone, apparently they owe me very little I have a part to play. So Jillian Kyula on a local station @ktnKenya enlightened a lot about 250 out of 450 acres of available arable land for farming in the world is found in Africa. I would just like to see great structures here in Molo that process, not tea but rather potatoes and an assortment of other ...
