Ten reasons why you might be dead in the next ten years.(Kenyan Version) WARNING!GRAPHIC IMAGES!

I definitely know most Kenyans  love their country to bits, but do u know the chances of you dying in the next ten years are very high especially if you stay in Kenya? Am not speculating on how you might die, but lets be honest here... just because other people are dying doesn't mean your were created to be the sole survivor, rather, this blog is just to show you how vulnerable we are as a country,  more so because of our weakenesses and our attitude coupled with ignorance. Be very careful as your life is precious. pray to God to give you protection always. WARNING! GRAPHIC IMAGES AND CONTENT!

MUNGIKI

If you happen to be a Mungiki adherent, be sure of to be killed by your brother, neighbor or the government. Just recently we saw on the media, mass graves in Kitengela. The pursuit of Maina Njenga by i dunno the government or his former followers and sure in this sect, everyone is hot on each others blood... lemmi ask... How the hell do u even think

Of killing your own blood?

1.       ACCIDENTS

Accidents in this country are amongst the worst in the world. Until recently, the government  banned night travel due to such cases. Impromptu alcohol blowers have been set up by the government to curb drunk driving and yet our people are still dying. Exactly, what is wrong here? I hear ati wamewekea wananchi barbed wire Thika road msigongwe na magari coz kenyans dont look right and left when crossing roads... oohkay!!

1.       ALCOHOL

Alcohol, Oh my! I don’t know how so many people can die due to just a ksh20/= tot of a spirit in the name of alcohol. So many lives have been lost that they even surpassed the Westgate Terrorist attack no. of deaths. and the name of that drink... country man i heard... meaning 'mwananchi'... Imagine if it was the drink of the ordinary mwanachi... where could we be.. as a country??

1.       LOVE

In Kenya, it is very easy to die of love than hate. In the media men kill their wives and children and later hang themselves, others slaughter their loved ones and do horrible things to them like cannibalism and other demonic rituals. Women and men in love kill more people than accidents and yet we sit, read and watch in anger as we condone these crimes and after the news pass we forget and go back to our comfort zones. Aaaiii!!!

1.       PETTY THUGS

Thugs are most likely to waylay you on your way home as early as 6:30am in the morning and as early too at 6:30pm in the evening. Woe unto you if you just resist. Petty criminals are likely to kill you just as the highway robbers and serial rapists

1.       BOMBS

Grenades, grenades. As you pass through the streets today, just imagine seeing a grenade being thrown in your direction by terrorists or inside that bus you are seated in or that one passing by you. What are your chances of survival?

1.       LIFESTYLE DISEASES

Nowadays, and especially in Central Province in particular, where I come from, more people die of lifestyle diseases than HIV/AIDS.  This includes diabetes, hypertension, strokes and heart attacks. The scale is going up in other areas as more people tend not to exercise and more are eating poor diets.

1.       CANCERS

In Kenya, cancer ranks third as a cause of death after infectious diseases and cardiovascular diseases. It causes 7% of total national mortality every year. The annual incidence of cancer is about 28,000 cases and the annual mortality to be over 22,000. Smoking, excessive drinking, not doing physical activity coupled with a bad diet, could lead you to an early grave.

1.       TRIGGER HAPPY POLICE

If you are lucky to survive most of these, then the trigger happy policemen or that thug the police are apprehending will kill you. They will at most shoot you as they exchange fire. In most cases the police will be the one to shoot you dead and plant a ‘bonoko’ (a fake pistol) and will report that you have actually been a wanted suspect on the run. Not even your immediate relatives will be heard as they narrate how good you used to be when you were alive!

1.       MOB JUSTICE

We love discipline and we like teaching it to our kids. Problem is, when someone in the society becomes in disciplined, we tend to give them a lesson. How do u even give a total stranger mob justice, yet you are not sure whether he is innocent or not? Haven’t u seen thugs stealing from a victim and later shouting that the fellow they’ve stolen from is the thief? Yet you see people leaving what they are doing to kill?? That’s absolute madness
