the National Hero

The National Hero.

Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;

W.B. Yeats 'The Second Coming'

When we do speak, and of the Hero, we are too probably associating 'him', and with speak of Conquest, and as said too, a defining in all, Theme that is. That it too now could be said that, when we do speak and of the National Hero, or of the Local Hero too, we are too said to be dealing with factors, and that do too speak and of both Resistance, and Adaptation, and respectively too. That in speak of Resistance, speak too and of the said problems/situations, and that the National Hero is believed said to face, but in speak of the Local Hero, speak now and of matters/issues, and as said too encountered in all.

That it too can be said that, when many do in all, make the attempt, to in all even actually, explain and for the condition or state, that Africa, does in all even find itself in, we do in many a way, come to realize, that it all is said to pertain, and to speak and of what Media, is said to be, and in said comparison, and to speak and of Consciousness in itself. That in speak of Consciousness, and of Africa too, one does in all even find many an argument it could best be said, and as said to refer, and to what Legitimacy, Validity or Verification too, are in all even said to be, for Africa in all, is often presented and from speak truly of Media, and of what too Judgment, Justice or even Righteousness too, are in all even said all about. That the Media, that is often used to portray Africa, does speak of Africa too, and as probably said Accessible, or not, and in too saying that, and in speak too of those said groups, peoples or tribes, and in Africa, cultured in their ways, that African life, does in all even mirror, or truly shadow too, African life, and as said too portrayed, and in speak of African Theatre for instance. That it all and again, does speak and of African life, and as said truly perceived, and from speak and of what too is said Permissible, for the said History and of Slavery and Colonialism in Africa, is believed said best actually perceived, and from Lenses, and that do speak of the Permissible, and not the Accessible truly either.

That it too can be said that, Okonkwo, and as best said here described, a Local Hero, is too said to deal and with said issues in all, and that do speak of Character, and if not of Taboo in itself, and of Okonkwo too, possibly perceived, and from the said perspective, and of the National Hero that is, but in saying that, Chinua Achebe (Mr.), is too now said even, a National Hero, is to speak of him and as said even defining Nigeria, and in speak of Memory, and that does too speak, and of what Remembering, Recollection, and  if not Recalling in itself, are in all even said to be, and in said comparison and to Okonkwo, said now even, defining the Memory of the Ibo people of Nigeria, and if not of South-Eastern Nigeria too, and in speak of a Memory, and that could too be said best to speak, and of the very said term, Ibo, and of Umuofia too that is.

That in putting all this, and in a said African Perspective, and not that too said to speak and of Colonialism or Independence too, is to now and in all even ask, and if or if not, African Time, is actually said to exist. That in most of the World, Time, is said perceived truly, and from speak of the Dated, and if not of what too is said post-dated, pre-dated, or even in said speak too now, and of carbon-dating too for instance [and of the very manner too, most Egyptologists, do in all even seek to study Egyptian History today]. In saying that, the United States of America, or America truly, does offer differing views in all, and of Time, and in Perspective too, is to now speak, and of the said On-set, and if not of the origin too, and in Point, and of Time, the Off-set, the Set ('set your marks'), the Re-set, of African Ears, or even in speak too and of, and of said Timing in itself too that is [and not of the said Periodic truly either]. That in speak of Africa, and if not of 'Things Fall Apart', and by Chinua Achebe too, speak now, and of Time, and as said best perceived, and from a Perspective, and that does speak and of the Initial [and in Awareness], the Start [and of Conscious States], and of the Beginning too [and if not of Consciousness too that is]. That the Nigeria of today, does differ and from that of Okonkwo's Time, and in now too saying that, Nigeria today, does in all even perceive Time, and from a said Perspective, and that does too speak and of the Dated in itself that is.

That what can the National Hero, or the Local Hero too, be said, to teach any of us, and in said regard, and to what does too pass for Conscience in itself, and as said even truly African? That in said speak of the National Hero, speak now and of what too Disparities are said to be, for the Local Hero, does in all even engage any of us, and in knowing and of what Discrepancies, are in all even said to be, and in said regard, and to living out our lives that is. That both heroes, National and Local, do too and in all even, expose to us, lives, and as said too grounded in all, and in speak of Counsel in itself, and in said comparison and to Prayer for instance, and if not of Africa, and Africans too, and as said even perceived, and from speak and of what Coping, or Coping mechanisms too, are in all even said to be.

That the National Hero, said even or perceived, more grandiose in 'his' ways in all, is too said to speak and of Celebration in itself, for the Local Hero, does now present a said even alternate way in all, and of viewing life in itself, believed said even troubling by some, and that does too speak, and of what 'the Kill', is said to be all about.

In finality, both National and Local, Heroes, said now to in all even present life, and from speak and of both Fundamentals and Rudiments too [and if not Principles that is], and as respectively said too, and in a said World too, and that does in all even view life in itself, and from speak truly, and of the Basics that is.

Jimi Hendrix ~ The Ballad of Jimi

Jimi Hendrix ~ The Ballad of Jimi.

** while growing up, I did in all spend some of my time, and in the neighbouring house best to mine, and in my neighbourhood too, and which was too said, the very home Pat., Muhindi, (Link), did in all even reside in. In a previous entry, I did mention that Pat. Muhindi, is one of the less popularly known Local Heroes, emanating and from Kenya in itself. Seeing Pat. though, was always the most interesting of things, in that, while most would say that he was simply said Cool in his ways, I on the otherhand, would in all even perceive him, and as simply said 'Bigger than life'. That Pat., and in everything he did, did speak of a said resounding moment, and that, it did in all even drive me, to truly discover myself as such, as probably said even momentous in my ways truly that is. A journey, and of self-discovery as such, and that has too led to my studying, seriously, African Religion, and to this very day, and on my returning back home, and to Kenya, and as probably best said a home Country too perhaps, I do still very much hold Pat. in all, and in a said awe, and that does too probably speak and of what a serious fight, is said to be. In all and again, it too can be said that, while growing up, and visiting Pats. home many a time, I did come to be exposed, and to Pat's huge Music Collection of Records and CD's, and such that, it was even said such a remarkable thing in itself, in that, it did house all sorts of Music to it, and including a Metallica CD too, and one which Pat., would not let us touch, but, I am of the belief that, the Jimi Hendrix single posted above, The Ballad of Jimi, does best speak of Pat. in himself, and in many a way too, and as he truly is. In many a way, a CD too, or Single truly, and that can too can be said to speak, and of the Local Hero in himself that is [Pat did too though, have a sister, named Catherine, and who was really into Reggea music, Coco Tea, and of Riker's Island (Link) fame too, and if not of Maxi Priest (Link) too, and it all too though, Reggea music that is, can too be said even somewhat descriptive, and of what a said Local Heroine, is too said to be].

Infringement

Infringement.

This entry, does in all even attempt to in all, ask, and of what is truly said African, and what is not. That what is believed said truly African, is not believed said to speak of Nubia for instance, but in many a way, and from said speak too of Political Discourse today, speak now, and of things said Nigerian, or speak too and again,  and of the Congo in itself that is. That in many a way, it can too be said that, African culture in itself, believed said too, and to speak and of the authentic or genuine that is, but if not truly, said in all, and to speak and of what, is said too and to speak, and of the African Experience in itself, can too now be said to speak and of what Infringement in itself, is said all about, and if not in speak too, and of the very name or term, and of Ibo too [and not Igbo either], and in further speak too now, and of what Evolutionary Games [Link], are too believed said to be all about.

That in too saying that, this Blog, Pro 'Nairo', does in all even attempt, to define speak and of Status in itself, and along the lines and of Infringement too, is to now too, associate it all, and with probable speak and of said Social Identity in all, and as perceived too, and from the very lens of religion, and religion too, and that does too speak and on what Curses, Swearing, and if not Sin in itself (said Taboo too), are in all even said to be. That in all, most of the World and in Religion, does concentrate and on speak, and on what Profanity in itself, and in speak too of the Blog 'Nairo' (Link) that is, is actually said to be, for speak of Curses, or of Swearing in itself, has often been perceived, something in all, remarkably said African in its ways that is. 

That in speak and of this entry, now said too, and to speak and of what socio-political status in all, is said to be, and if not of what Governance, or Activism too, are in all even said all about, is to now attempt to in all even paint a picture, or draw up a said portrayal too for instance, and of the very manner in all, societies, are believed too said evolving that is. That for most of the World, speak now and of what too, is said to speak, and of the said Story of Civilization [and of Italy in itself too], while in speak and of Africa, and as most have known it, Scotland too, and if not of Central Asia that is, themes now, and as said having to do, and with what is believed said to speak and of the Story of the Earth that is [and in said speak too of the name of King Arthur for instance], is said all about, but in many a way too, the very belief that, Africa realized, does in all even speak, and of the said Story of Man, or of Man too, and as said even his very own Authority that is. In all though, those cultures, often believed truly African, and such as the Ibo too for instance, now do allocate in all, speak of socio-political status, and in life too, and as said in all even discerned, and from speak too, and of what Adventure in itself, and if not Exploration in itself too, are in all even said to be.

That in now too saying that, it all does too come down, and to speak and of what socio-economic status, is in all even said to be, is to now too speak and of the Blog Counter 'Nairo', and as now too said even, afforded in all a Status that is, and that does too speak and of Place (Link) in itself, and such that, it does too speak, and of Alien or Outside presences, and as said too creeping into Kenya for instance, and if not of Neo-Colonialism in itself too that is, but that in all again, this Blog, does in all even probably best adjudge in all, what Status is said to be, and in said speak now, and of what a National Hero [and in probable speak too, and of a name and such as that of Mungo Park that is], is too said all about that is.

In all and again, African cultures, and such as that of the Ibo [and not Igbo truly either], do in all even attempt to define African lives, and away from speak, and of what Bias, or Pretension too, are said to be, and in speak now and of one and as said even defining oneself that is, and as said even truly fully Human, and if not of the very manner in all, those said Ibo, would in all even seek, to read into, the very works of Uncle Remus, or Br'er Rabbit too, or speak too of Odu Ifa, and if not of the Obi Oracle in itself that is. In all, all the above, can too be said referring and in all again, and to what they do call the culture of 'Kienyeji' [Link], and in Kenya too that is.

Locations

of Locations.

Sir Elvis

This entry, is said in all, to speak, and of what Locations, are said to be, and in said comparison, and to speak of the Locale (Link) in itself too that is. That it does in all even speak, and of the very fact that, Kenyan History, can in all even be said 'made out', or discerned too, and in speak and of the Location in itself, and that interestingly enough, this is the very manner in all, Kenya, to this very day, is believed said even, Designed that is. That the Locale, and as said even to speak and of the Horn of Africa Blog (Link), and by the Blogger here too, is believed in all even, said to arise, and as said to speak, and of a said 'Way of life' that is, and in a said too, to speak and of a Post-Independence Kenya that is, and in speak too now, and of Location in itself, and in Kenya too, said too often speak, and of Centers of Power in many a way, and if not of Administration, Bureaucracy, and of the Managerial in itself too that is, and in Kenya too. That the Locale now, is too said to speak, and of said even, Local lifestyles that is.

That in speak of Kenya, and as said even defined, and in speak of Location, and if not of the Locale too, is too now and again, say it even, best mapped out, and in a said even, East African fashion, and that does too speak in all, and of what one could best term, Bantu East Africa that is [Link1, Link2][Link]. That it is said Bantu Identity in all, and in a said even Post-Colonial Kenya, and that is more or less responsible, and of Kenya and as said too in all, Mapped out, or Charted out too, and in speak and of the Locale, and not in speak and of the Location truly that is. 

That in understanding the above said better, is to now too, speak, and of what is believed best said, and to speak, and of the Bantu, and in East Africa too [for Bantu Identity, is too said Swahili, and if not Somali too], but that while said Nilotic groups, and such as the Maasai, have in all come to define Kenya that is, and in speak of Custom truly, and with said Somali, or Cushitic groups, and in Kenya, defining Kenya, and in speak and of Ethnicism in itself, Bantu Identity and in Kenya, or even East Africa too, is believed said of interest to some, for it does in all even, speak, and of the Kenyan Memory in itself, and as said too defined, and in speak and of what Inference, is said to be. That Inference, or to Infer, can too be said, to speak, and of Deference, Reference, and if not of the Confer too, for the Bantu, and in speak too of the said even, Folk culture, defining Bantu culture in itself, have in all even come to define Kenya as such, and in Memory too, and of a said even Memory that is, and that does too speak and of the said History, and of the Victorian Poet, and who did once reside in Kenya too, Colonial (Link), and if not of the said even, popularity, and of Country Music in Kenya [Link], and by the Bantu too, and which can in all even be said perceived, and from speak and of Inference [and if not of the very names of Don Williams too for instance, and of Kenny Rogers too that is] [Link1, Link2].

In many a way though, this Blog, and as said even to speak, and on the Blog 'Nairo' that is, does in all even redefine 'Nairo' (Link), and in speak too and of what Location is said to be, and in said comparison, and to speak and of Space in itself, for while it does in all even now, attempt to truly define, a said even genuine/authentic Kenyan Identity, and if not one hinting and at what the Kenyan National Identity, is said all about, it can too be said and speak too now and of the Counter 'Nairo' Blog (Link) that is, and of Vic. (Link) too, and as said even attempting to define Kenya in all, and from speak and of a said African Identity truly, East African too, and not that said truly Kenyan either that is. In getting to the very heart, and of what does too speak, and of the said Social Identity, and of this very Blog, is to now refer, and to the very term and of Gaming that is. That Gaming, can too be best approached, and from speak and of the Blog Anti 'Nairo' (Link) too, for Anti 'Nairo', does too attempt to define one, and in speak and of what a Politic (Link), is too said to be, and if not of what the Hunt, the Chase and the Catch too, are in all even said all about, but that Gaming, now can too be said, and to speak, and of what Social Games, and if not of Evolutionary Games too perhaps, are in all even said all about. That Gaming, can too be said to speak and of one said Pat. Muhindi (Link), and one the lesser known of Local Heroes, and in Kenya today too, or as said even emanating, and from Kenya too, and as it is known today [582,650 sq km], and in Size too that is, but that in all again, it does too attempt to very much tackle, said even Swahili Identity in Kenya, and which too has very much attempted to define Kenya in itself, and in speak too of Gaming that is [and if not in speak now, and of what does too speak, and of Kenyan Television, and in Swahili too that is].

In all, and in attempting to now put, a said even, popular Face in all, and to what too Gaming, is said all about, is to in all even, not only tie it all in, and with speak too and of what Location, and Locales too, are too said to be, but in many a way now, speak truly now, and of the said even Music Video Station, Channel too, Trace Urban that is, and on MNET too, and which does in all even put out Content, and which can too be accessed, and from speak and of what Location, and if not Locales too, are said to be, and if not in speak, and of Gaming in itself too that is [that Music Videos, and if not Music in itself too, are said even, believed, still very much defining, and to this very day, and of African Social Identities in themselves that is].

the Case Study

the Case Study.

It can too be said that, this Blog, Pro 'Nairo' that is, despite its said referring truly, and to speak of Kenya in itself, and if not of Nairobi in itself too, is still very much too said East African, and in speak too now, and on the Blog Anatolia (Link), and if not of the other said Blogs on 'Nairo' too that is. That the Blog Anatolia, is too said to speak, and on the said African Setting, while that on 'Nairo', said to refer and to speak of the defining in all, and of Space in Nairobi too, that on Counter 'Nairo', speak now and on what too is said Place, and with that on Anti 'Nairo', said to speak and of Context in itself too.

This Blog though, Pro 'Nairo', can too and in all, be said to actually speak, and on what Scene, Scenario, Situation, Setup, Ruse, Hype etc., is all said to be, and as said even applied, directly too, and to speak too, and of what does too pass for Meaning, or Existence, and if not Survival too, and in Kenya today too that is. That this Blog, and in a said even Academic stance in all, can best be equated in all, and to speak too and of what a Case Study, is simply said to be, for it does in all even speak, and of life in Kenya today, and in speak too of Media that is, said even merging somewhat, and with that too said American (Link) that is.

In all, the very domain, and of the Local Hero in 'himself', what too that is, Hype is said to be, and in many a way, all this, or it all too, can too be said associated in all, and with speak too of the USIU (United States International University), and in Kenya, Nairobi too, and of the Case Study in itself, and if not in speak too now, and of what too does speak and of the Award in itself, and if not Merit in itself too, and in Kenyan society today too that is.

USIU vs. MTV MNET:

the Local Hero

the Local Hero.

It can be said that, this very Blog, is too said dedicated, and to one said Pat. Muhindi (Link), and who did in all it can be said here, grow up, and in a home, a House, said next to mine, and in the said too Karen-Langata area of Nairobi, and who too, can be said to be one of the very first of Local Heroes, and as said even emanating, and from the Karen-Langata area too that is. That Kenya, is too probably said in need, and of many a Local Hero, and in helping solve its said problems, but that in all again, it is truly believed that, it is the Local Hero, who can be said the most adept of us all, and in the attempt, to truly teach one, what a said life, fully lived out, and in Nairobi, or Kenya too, is said all about.

That this Blog, does differ, and from the others on 'Nairo' (Link1, Link2, Link3), or Nairobi too, for this very Blog, can be said to concentrate, and on speak and on Kenya in itself too, and not East Africa truly either, and in the said attempt, to in all even re-frame, Kenyan life, and as it once was, and as said now too, best believed to speak, and of the Local Hero, and not the National Hero truly either [and in said speak too of the said Presidential Order of the Burning Spear Award, and as said too Kenyan truly], but it does in all even attempt, to in all even put into into a said even proper perspective, and of what are believed said even, racial slang terms in Kenya, and such as Mzungu, Mhindi, Mzunye, Wakoloni, Walalo etc., and in now too saying that, Kenya, could too be said even, missing out, and on the said Mzungu Experience for instance [and something that did too, speak of former American Ambassador to Kenya, said now deceased, Mr. Smith Hempstone (Link) that is]. That Kenya, and alongside speak too of the Local Hero, does have to it a said even, reputation that is, and that does too say that, once in Kenya, one should in all even open up to life, expose ones full Personality, and in many a way too, it all does speak and of those who have often espoused, the said belief that, Kenya, and as said even believed a true International destination, is truly said, 'Home away from Home'.

in speak now, and of the Local Hero, and of Nairobi, and if not Kenya too, is to now too associate such talk, and with speak too of the Blog, 'Nairo' (Link) that is. That it too can be said that, this very Blog, Pro 'Nairo', can too be said equated in all, and to speak too and of the Blog Anti 'Nairo' (Link), and in speak too now, and of this very Blog, and with its said attempts in all, to define Kenyan life, and at the said International level too, and in now too associating life on one end, and in a said Spectrum too, and with speak too of Professional Conduct, and if not Professionalism in itself too, and at the other end, speak now truly, and of the Local Hero in 'himself' that is. That unknown to most in Kenya, and if not Africa too, the rest of the World, does in all even interact, and with each said other that is, and in said speak too now, and of Media, and as said perceived, and from speak and of Media Personas, Media Profiles, and if not Media Personalities too. That in saying that Kenya, has in all even attempted to make many a said inroad, and in such said Media, and as said to speak too now and of the said names of Lupita Nying'o, and if not that of Victor Wanyama too, it is believed that, such said Media, does not actually truly help Kenya, and in its said attempts to Develop, and in said comparison, and to that which too does truly talk, and of the Local Hero in 'himself' that is. That in attempting to put the Local Hero, and in a said too proper perspective that is, is to now too say that, this Blog does in all even associate, speak of Professional Conduct, and with speak truly, and of the United States of America only, and not Europe either too, and with the said States too, and of Florida, California, and if not of New York State in itself too that is [and something which will be furtherly expounded, and as we continue, to log in, and blog on].

Finally though, this Blog Pro 'Nairo', can too be said even, to speak too and of the Blog Counter 'Nairo' (Link), and in now too saying that, while Counter 'Nairo', does in all even attempt to define, a said even, true to itself, African and Kenyan Identity in all, this Blog, is more or less said in tandem, and with what does actually go on around the World, and in said speak too now, and of what Status, is in all even said to be. That the very question and of Status, and in Kenya, does not only speak and of the said history and of Land-grabbing, and in Kenya too, but does now too, speak, and of the rest of the World, and as said even encroaching and on Kenya, and in the attempt now, to truly define Kenya, and in speak of Status, and if not in speak too now, and of what Neo-Colonialism, is truly said to be all about. That there was a time in Kenya, when speak of Status, did in all even speak, and of the very term of Uhuru in itself, and in now too saying that, one of the very goals of this Blog, is to in all even detail what Uhuru, is said truly all about, but in all again, the said belief here that, Status, does too speak and of a said even Social Status, and if not of what Social Access, can too be said all about, for it all too, does now speak and of what too Social Media is said to be, and as said even defining one, and in Status, and in a said even American manner in all that is.
