Writing as excitement

As with Virginia Wolf: It’s the writing, not in being read, that excites me. I enjoy the adventure into the inner wide, wild universe of the mind.

I write not to sell but to tell… things to myself.

A global ecological panic is on the way – actually underway: The next scramble for Africa is happening by stealth.

Is Africa rising? Yes. Is Africa not rising? Yes. It depends. Anything is possible in Africa.

Whoever said diamonds are forever had not driven on my stretch of road: potholes are!

Politics – which is it: Is it the art of deception or the science of managing expectations in the exercise of power? Or both? Or what?

Pastoralists in ASAL areas: wretched, rugged, free spirits. 52 years on still not enough boreholes and water reservoirs for them: Shame!

True: Free choice and free enterprise are products of democracy. But beware of a drifting, unmoored, and loveless attitude to country.

Buckle up. It is going to be one hell of a rough ride. Tyranny of insomnia for the captains of the ship of state.

Tenacity has a synonym, it is called David Ndii.
