Agreed!!!
Asians number in the billions, yet i rarely see them beg for food. Reason- those people have mastered the art of food production. Go to Korea and you'll appreciate their tea, veggies, legumes, etc. They grow every thing, unlike Sub Saharan Africans who depend on one crop-Maize and beans.
Leave land to people who know what to do with it. SA whites know how to farm, let them be farmers.
As for Kenya, Every county needs a land use planning board to manage this meager resource.
There is an important "psychological" element in all of this; and to the extent that that is so, I am in favour of the natives having more of their land. It is always far, far better to starve on one's own land than to get sustenance from land stolen by those bad people. Unless, of course, one is actually starving. Or dying. And forced to beg for food from the people who returned the land to its owners.
By all means, return the land to the natives. An absolute "must". But the natives then have to fend for themselves. It is absurd and totally lacking in self-respect---and I am astonished that many more don't find it seriously humiliating---to insist on "
mzungu, give us back our land!" and then follow it with an annual "
mzungu, come here quick!, drought or whatever!, urgent aid please!". 50+ years. Nations of jokers.
We need to get serious about feeding ourselves. The near-annual "
international community, saidia please!" does not reflect any seriousness. Nor do taxpayer-funded jokes like Galana, where there is certainly plenty of "eating", but not of food.
Want to be like The Netherlands? Excellent. An admirable goal, if one is cognizant of the reality. Excluding numerous other helpful elements---such as the number of major "agro"-industry players who have been persuaded to set up camp there---consider this: the place has a whole university whose entire business is around the production of food. They even have generous scholarships for people who want to help Africans feed themselves. Kenya? Working hard on B.A. (Hons) from Above-Bar University (2nd Floor, Room 14). Hustling. Nailing sponsorship. Man wakes up one morning, decides he is a "Dr" and "Prof", opens the Fort Hall of Fuck-All, and he actually has people lining up to part with good money! And all over the country, everyone is jerking off about the "national genius"! A real and exemplary hustler, I suppose. And at the top: on the one side, a booze-fiend with a total-thief for sidekick. On the other side, a motley crew that can't plan/project-manage its way out of a wet paper-bag. With little prospect of change.
50+ years of Free, Independent, and Equal. Indeed. Still, time to move from can-might-will-maybe-whatever. Just do it!
Yes, I know. That wasn't exactly the warm fuzzies. I should conclude on a
positive note. Here, it is: Remember the
kienyeji stuff your grandmother made from the local leaves whenever you had malaria or whatever? Nasty and bitter, but it worked; and, yes, you took it voluntarily. Kenyans need a serious wake-up call, and the next few years of nasty-and-bitter will help to that end. "
The selfish and bastards! Always out for only themselves! We'll throw them out in 2022!". You know how it goes.
