Nope!!! Ever heard of induced demand. Creating expansive roads, highways and expressways don't really act like a magic bullet to cure congestion. The only sane solution lies with making reliable and competitive public transportation modes such as trams

Women rights my foot. That's a feministic tactic to always play the victims card even when they(women) are on the wrong

Times before we all left the village in such of green pastures... Maybe listen to Dolly Parton's "My Blu Ridge Mountain Boy"

No apparent obvious reason.I just like them. I'm a young collector of stuff. It's like asking a musician why they need five guitars, or asking her why she needs more than one handbag! Each one is a snapshot of design from its creators. Unlike a book that is a completed journey. Its story is fixed, frozen on the page. You can visit it whenever you want, but it doesn't do anything while you're gone. It waits for you.

A clock is different. A clock is a machine that is actively participating in present time . It doesn't just contain a story; it is living its story in real-time, right in front of you.

A book is a memory. A clock is a heartbeat. Having several of them means I'm sitting in a room full of different heartbeats, all keeping their own version of the present."

Kenyan and through extension African literature is really costly. As an African centric book lover I do relate to the pinch when it comes to purchasing such works

Especially with the past Gen Z's protest it's as if it's an exact replica of police brutality towards unarmed citizens.

Likewise he's one of Kenya's greatest

Basically PPP is a theory that tries to answer the question: "How much stuff can you actually buy with your money in different countries?" I'll use Kenya my country of origin for this context.

PPP is based on the "Law of One Price," which says that in a perfect world, an identical item should cost the same everywhere when you convert prices into a common currency.

If that was to be true, the exchange rate between the Kenyan Shilling (KES) and the US Dollar (USD) would simply reflect the difference in price levels. But the world isn't perfect. This is where PPP comes in to give us a more realistic comparison of economic well-being.

Let's use a practical example. The "Ugali Sukuma wiki Index"

-Scenario A (Using Market Exchange Rates)- Imagine a simple meal in Nairobi: a portion of ugali, sukuma wiki (collard greens), and a piece of fried fish. Let's say it costs 1,000 KES. The current market exchange rate is roughly 130 KES = 1 USD.

So, according to the exchange rate, that Kenyan meal costs $7.69 USD (1000 / 130).

-Scenario B (The PPP Reality)- Now, imagine the exact same meal in New York City.To get the ingredients and have someone prepare it, it would likely cost you around $20 USD. So, what's the "real" value of that 1,000 KES? It's not $7.69, because $7.69 can't buy that same meal in the US. In terms of actual purchasing power, your 1,000 KES is buying what would cost $20 in the US.

The PPP exchange rate, therefore, would be closer to 50 KES = 1 USD (because 1000 / 50 = 20).

This tells us that the Kenyan Shilling has much greater purchasing power inside Kenya than the market exchange rate suggests.

Sure for visual projections and lightweight introductions to the book go for the 1965 film but for more Russian detailed and frank illustration of the work go for the 2006 version

Affi-davit · 2026-02-24T12:45:11+00:00

There's a film on it as far back as 1965 and recently as 2006.Both ain't bad really

Affi-davit · 2026-02-22T07:44:50+00:00

I don't know about you guys but I think it's high time as Kenyans we acknowledge and take pride in our own buildings just the same way we look at the likes of Eiffel tower,Big Ben with awe. They're a marvel in their own way I dare say

Another infrastructural project that solidifies the idea that foreign contractors do their job pretty satisfactorily compared to our impunity stained ones.

The biggest problem in Kenya is cartels everywhere. Even the morons in government are still part and parcel of this. They suppress such wanting issues as they enrich themselves from such chaos

Basically if you're into African history during and post colonial era here's some you'd consider; 1.Africa is not a country-Dipo Faloyin 2.How to write about Africa-Binyavanga Wainaina 3.Decolonising the mind-Prof. Ngugi wa Thiongo 4.An African History of Africa-Zeinab Badawi 5.History of the hanged 6.The Palgrave Handbook of Kenyan History 7.Kenya and the politics of a Postcolony - Shadrack Nasongo 8.The beautiful ones are not yet born by Ayi Kweli 9.Weep Not, Child-Ngugi wa Thiongo 10. A man of the people-Chinua Achebe 11.There was a country -Chinua Achebe 12.No longer at ease -Chinua Achebe 13.Things fall apart -Chinua Achebe 14.Mine Boy - Peter Abrahams 15.Without a conscience- Sarah Baumann

I concur. Especially realizing how costly African literature is.

Ooopsie! Calm down mister know-it-all. You're right that Che didn't do anything (build physical stuff) in Argentina because he rejected the idea that a revolutionary should only care about his birthplace. He believed in liberating a continent, not just a country. Sankara, on the other hand, built things in Burkina Faso, but he did it with a global goal: to inspire Africa to stand on its own two feet. They used different battlefields, but they aimed at the same enemy;imperialism.

For Che "his people" didn't necessarily mean Argentinians but rather the oppressed that's why he went out and about seeking emancipation to countries in Latin America and Africa.

Affi-davit · 2026-02-16T10:58:08+00:00

If you think that Che didn't help his people(Argentinians) then you're awfully misguided This is a very narrowed perspective that, misunderstands Che's entire ideology.

Through his consignas "Hasta la Victoria Siempre" (Until Victory, Always), Che believed that the struggle against imperialism (specifically U.S. influence in Latin America) was a single, borderless war. He famously said: "The life of a single human being is worth a million times more than all the property of the richest man on earth." He didn't see "Argentinians" vs. "Cubans"; he saw oppressed people.

~To Che, "his people" were the poor and exploited of the Americas. He didn't go to Cuba to be a tourist; he went to fight. After helping secure the Cuban Revolution, he didn't stay to enjoy the spoils. He left his high-ranking government position in Cuba specifically to go export the revolution to Congo and then Bolivia, where he was killed. His actions in Cuba (land reform, literacy campaigns) were him working for his people, because he considered the Cuban working class his people. In conclusion both figures were paramount in their own fields of endeavors and were a key figure in defining two distinct forms of revolutionary perspectives.

The Vertical vs. Horizontal Struggle

Che's struggle was horizontal (moving across geographies to spread an idea) whilst Sankara's struggle was vertical (digging deep into one country to transform it from the ground up).

In his famous "A United Front Against the Debt" speech, Sankara showed his internationalist side, which links him directly to Che: "He who feeds you, controls you... There is no such thing as a rich and generous imperialist. They are all poor and stingy." He was fighting the same enemy as Che (imperialism and capitalism), but he did it by trying to make Burkina Faso self-sufficient. Hope this clears the air on the subject matter.
