The Audacity:
When you’re starting out, pple despise you. When you grow and master your craft, they envy you. And when you prove that their hate has no effect on you they bme jealous.
The other day I saw a failed Twitter idiot laughing at Nova mbu for organizing a UOX live debate on NBS. That same idiot was shipped to China to study medicine, failed at it , came back, and is now just floating nothing on the ground to show for it. Not even a clinic is registered in his name. Ali kuno ayasama bwasami.
Meanwhile, he was mocking a man who has changed the narrative of Twitter.
The Nova he was mocking has advocated for policies. Organized workshops. Championed community development campaigns. Led obituary programs. Planned tournaments. Brought disagreeing parties to agreement. The young man has done almost everything a stable, grounded leader does.
How do you even find the energy to mock someone like that?
UOX, you assume too much importance.
Someone laughs at u and questions your initiative yet given a chance can’t do a quarter of what you’ve done, even if they gathered their entire clan.
One time I saw this fool called Kojjo aka mudangalavu (a name for a village drunkard) advising Wekesa about tourism. 😳But How?
It didn’t make sense. A man with no real job, struggling to feed himself, giving advice abt tourism to someone who’s been in the business for 33 yrs , turning over close to USD 1.2 million a year.
I looked at Mudanagalavu, posting nonsense and I asked , where do you get this stupid confidence?
Another time, a nincompoop on Twitter was advising me on how to run a mentorship program. It was actually good advice but I asked him first: go organize a village mentorship program. Apply that knowledge there and we will talk again. Bcse riyale let’s be honest if you can’t run an LC-level program, where do u get the confidence to advise someone operating at national and international level?
Busiru kikaaki obwo? Mulekere awo okwewanika
Anyway saagala kulandagga… kankome awo.
But my boy Nova, I am so proud of you.
You are a true leader from the Tribe of Strong Men. Thank you for leading the way.
Where have you watched from and what have you picked from the conversation?
