Najivunia Kuwa Mkenya...


A friend of mine sent me a very interesting read yesterday. Here it is and I hope you will agree with him (tongue-in-cheek!):

Technology
After digging to a depth of 100 meters last year, Russian scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 1000 years, and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network one thousand years ago.

So, not to be outdone, in the weeks that followed, American scientists dug 200 meters and headlines in the US papers read:
"US scientists have found traces of 2000-year-old optical fibers, and have concluded that their ancestors already had advanced high-tech digital telephone 1000 years earlier than the Russians."

One week later, the Kenyan newspapers proudly reported the following:
"After digging as deep as 500 meters, Kenyan scientists have found absolutely nothing. They have concluded that 5000 years ago, their ancestors were already using wireless technology!"
Na ndio maana najivunia kuwa Mkenya. Wewe je?
Are you proud to be Kenyan despite all the madness (Mungiki, insecurity etc) that's been going on?
