This is how the situation looked liked when Maathai “met Kenyans” in Stockholm according to Purity’s design. In the picture, it was like Maathai was wondering where the 
real Kenyans had gone because when she was last here, she was welcomed by about 100 Kenyans with song and dance. The picture was lifted from the web site of Ole Ngais who is increasingly surfacing as Purity’s “good boy” in Stockholm.
They have mended their differences after Purity side-stepped him on a web design contract. He lambasted Purity at his blog but later pulled the story down to start a new beginning with the Embassy, a beginning which has been paying dividends.
Purity represents the Coalition government but today, Ole Ngais has become so important that he beats even Kenyans who campaigned for Kibaki like the Narc-Kenya Chairman Mr. Daniel Mwaura and Mrs Hellen Opwapo, the Chairlady of ODM-Scandinavia who were both not invited to the function because Purity regards them as part of the “trouble makers”.
So far, only two Kenyans (in the picture) have been identified as having been invited to the function, the rest being foreigners from Uganda and other countries who were mobilized at Plaza Hotel to eat tax money as Kenyans were kept away. Some Kenyans had planned to storm the function to lecture Purity but decided to halt the plan in respect of Mathaai who appears not to have known what was happening behind the scenes.
When Maathai asked about the whereabouts of Kenyans, she never got any proper answer. The other guy in the picture doesn’t seem to be happy.
About the Author
It is true that when former Ambassador Kinyanjui was here, many Kenyans had the opportunity to meet Nobel Peace Laureate Wangari Maathai.
It is a shame that Purity shielded her from Kenya-Stockholmers during the recent visit and invited only the two Kenyans in the picture. We know that she is wary of the critical Kenyan crowd that will demand accountability for short-changing us many times.
We must keep on blasting Purity since she heads the Embassy that needs to be in contact with all Kenyans and not just the chosen few.
I repeat that Purity represents the Mount Kenya Mafia who have no care for the majority of Kenyans. See how the internally displaced people suffer, yet nobody cares for them, despite having voted heavily for Kibaki. It is the same ruling class that took most of the land they owned in Central province, thus exiling many of them to the Rift Valley in the 1960s.
Purity has pushed the majority of Kenyans into the periphery and uses the few docile boot-lickers to fill her crowd of foreigners, claiming that they represent us. Gone are the days when Kenyans mingled freely at the official residence of the amabssador and felt close to Motherland. Apart from periodic pictures posted at KSB, many Kenyans have no clue how Purity looks like. She has changed the human face of the embassy into the Devil’s house.
KSB: That was a nice one for the “Purity Easter bashing”. Is there anybody else with anything to add as we celebrate Easter?
Wangari seems disturbed, questioning, worried…. was it because these people were invited where she never expected them or was it ‘coz she’s asking the whereabouts of wanainchi wa Kenyan in Stockholm? The other guy is equally unhappy, hata huyo dada, seems bored …. but Ole Ngai is finally at the center of it all again and seems to be enjoying every moment. Thanks for the photographic presentation, lets’ have more of this KSB.
KSM: Kenyan in Finland: At least you are now getting the point. Apart from 2hr bashes at Janhuri once a year where she shows up, Purity has never called a meeting to engage us here. To avoid Wakenya, she moved Jamu to Oslo last year. Wangari was in shock because last time, there were very nice Kikuyu songs to welcome her after she scooped the prize followed by constructive political engagement by about 100 Kenyans. There is a Kikuyu song called “Werukamu” that was a hit when she came. You need to mobilize Kenyans in Finland to join the anti-Purity struggle. She needs to go because tumechoka.
I am writing in responds to the article posted at KSB on April 6th 2009 by makosewe entitled, Purity Had Her day With Wangari Maathai…
The article depicts The Laurette Professor Wangari Maathai as not being happy for reasons Osewe says, she wasn’t allowed to meet the category of Kenyans Osewe tags as “real Kenyans”.
Consecutively, the KSB blogger and writer once again undermines the writer of this article as the Embassy’s “good boy” as he has always done.
KSB has been malicious before on the person of these writer but in several occasions these writer chose not to venture in to conflicts with Osewe,
I don’t want to go back to old sins committed by Osewe against me, but i just want to mention a few for the sake of the reader.
In an earlier article, Osewe calls me and wide spectrum of Kenyans for Walambaji (a Kiswahili term for“ass licker“)because I , like many other Kenyans,was officially invited to Jamhuri celebration which Osewe revolted against and asked others to boycott.
In his article, Osewe writes “A dinner with Kenyan VIPs without a “non diplomatic Kenyan face” could be spooky so Purity has a list of the “good boys and girls”.
In another instance, Osewe misrepresents my presence in the Kenyan day when he wrote; “Saidimu ole Ngais was spotted at a corner as was Clay Onyango, Vincent Odede and Mrs Mary Muirani. ….other faces were those of Embassy staff and their families.”
Those Kenyans who were there saw me discuss in length with the Ambassador on issues of nation building. Osewe says that Saidimu was seen in a corner ? Why should I when the sun was shinning and the sky was blue and I am a free man in a free country! I was in our Kenyan home in Sweden
In his article of June 2, 2008 – Posted by makozewe , Osewe brands me as a communist through his codded language thinking that it would go unobserved. I chose to let it go. It’s OK to play politics but it’s not OK to misrepresent other people. As far as I know, I have always been a social democrat!
I find myself ideologically on the left wing of modern social democratic ideology. Moreover, I seat in the Social democratic party committee in Bagarmossen so, don’t be surprised to see my name in the ballot paper in the next election when we take over the mandate from the right wingers. Brother Osewe is openly known to be of the far left! A true“politburo”?
Although there were nice photos among the uploaded once at my home page, you chose to lift the one you thought negatively represented the subject concerned. That’s less giving to say the least.
I wonder why you fail to give credit and a little positiveness when it’s rightfully entitled? Meeting and sharing a lunch with people of Professor Wangari Maathai is a dream come true to all Kenyans. If you weren’t invited this time, we might be in the list next time. I don’t ask you to be a good BOI though! Good luck.
It’s common sense that it’s impossible for all Kenyans to meet the Nobel peace price winner all at one go. The lunch reception took place in a hotel premise which could accommodate approximately 100 people. About 70 people attended the lunch reception. I met with Kenyans from different steps of life. I ‘ll upload beautiful Pictures later to confirm my argument.
I speak not for the Embassy of Kenya in Stockholm but I am in the believe that the Kenyan Embassy couldn’t invite all Kenyastockholmers to attend Professor Wangari’s reception at Sergel plaza hotel all at the same time.
The Kenya embassy spend the tax payers money for the reception, yes, my money too. This year, I sent my family in Nanyuki around ksh 300.000. I bought them 4 acres of land too. I call them for more that ksh 5000 a moth. I hope you haven’t forgotten that I am also taxed here in Diaspora as equally as I am taxed back at home.
I have paid bills for members of Mukogodo community suffering from water based diseases and HIV related illnesses. I have rescued women battered by their husbands and saved their children from malnutrition on behalf of the Kenyan social welfare system. Sometimes I complain and sometimes I realize I am doing what is required of me as a good citizen. Only that the good work may not be recognized by my country. I wish they did. I dislike to talk about what I have done for others but since you make me to, I take the challenge and sack the bitter lollipop. I have receipts for all my contribution including calling cards if you want prove.
For every krona I send home, the government of Kenya earns tax and as well as when they spend the money in the retain shops. So I am a real Kenyan? Real that the politicians who refuse to pay tax? or even more real that you who sends not a single krona to your people because they have it all in Kenya? If that so, then I envy you.
Mukogodo Maasai are among the most economically marginalized Kenyans. They need to have more young men and women who can take the heat and represent their ideas. Mukogodo Maasai and other minorities like Yaaku are a forgotten people! Did you know that police can harass them anytime they want? mass punishment?
So I am forced to send money every month to save the lives of about 32 individuals who directly live on my student salary. Does anybody recognize my nation building contribution? Does the Kenyans Embassy realize how important Ole Ngais is in defending the name and face of our loving Kenya? How about Osewe? Do you write that in your well articulated articles? or you only see the dark side of our people? The Diaspora Kenyans must be respected as a very significant partner in our nation building coalition both by national wise and internationally.
However, it’s important to note that Ole Ngais isn’t any body’s boy! As you write in your blog, I find it degrading.
The least I demand is a honorable redress. I am of the impression that you generally disrespect me in person just as you do to many other Kenyans and Kenyan officials in this cold foreign country we came to call home.
It’s a shame that it should be this way because I had expected more from you being a political veteran? a citizen’s journalist and blogger pioneer among Kenya Stockholmers and above all a political science student.
I respect your intellectual and writing ability only that I wish so much that you invest the energy in constructive and nation building activities instead of seeking to undermine, destroy and gimmick your fellow countrymen. I had hopped not to write this about you.
Maybe I live in the illusion that we’d patronize each other and help to shape our community to advocate not only for our rights as minority in Sweden but also as a powerful Diaspora Kenyans constituency with rights and obligations as all other constituencies in Kenya.
I still expect that we collectively demand attention from the regime since we all pay tax (VAT-value added tax) every time we send money to our families in Kenya. We spoke of dual or multi citizenship, easy and cheaper way of sending money to our people at “home” the right to vote from abroad and the right to invest in Kenya without being taxed as a foreigner. I realize how difficult it becomes to speak of this issues in situation where a country is slowly slipping back to a single party and totalitarian regime.
It’s nevertheless depressive to read from a blogger of your caliber making a rift between Kenyans and Kenyans. In your article, you right “In the picture, it was like Maathai was wondering where the maathai_03real Kenyans had gone because when she was last here, she was “….real Kenyans as if some Kenyans aren’t real enough? In the picture here, you only identify two Kenyans and so this leaves me with a bitter taste in my tongue on what you make out of my son Lemayian Obama Ole Ngais? is he not a Kenya in your perception because he’s mothered by a white Swede? Or because he’s born in Sweden? In your real Kenyan world, what are the real characteristics of real Kenyans? What do you what my Obama to be brought up like so he can be regarded as a true Kenyan by people with the same perception as you? Many Kenyans have intermarried so you wouldn’t speak of a clean or real Kenyan… but wait, is a Kenyan an ethnic group? or is Kenyan a race? Moreover, you seem to suppose that Pastor Tillah Mukasa (to the left) and Saidimu Ole Ngais(center) aren’t Kenyans enough? Am I missing something here?
The other day, I had a discussion with my fellow friends at the launching of MAAGI. Surprisingly, only 8 Kenyans attended our launching party which was advertised extensively. Coincidently,when President Obama was inaugurated, about the same number of Kenyans attended Cyndee Peters’ Obama’s Gala in Stockholm.
However, just as Obama’s Gala on January 20th, people of other nationalities arrived from from the top of the hour until the end of the party.Just as Cyndee rocked the party at his excellency’s inauguration, MAAGI got the attention she deserved including a fantastic relationship with potential donors.
Despite all that success, my heart was heavy when I realized how little support I had from my fellow people. This challenged has sharpened my teeth to tear down any obstacle and and in the future knowing that not all who call me brother may in fact be my real brothers! Yes, “real” But you know what, if Obama can be the president of the most powerful nation in the world, having originated from the plains of Kogelo? who is MAAGI not to be anything she wants in Sweden?
Our separation and condemnation of other’s just because they aren’t good enough or equally experienced gives no motivation to building Kenya together. I’ve noticed the other time when Clay was attacked for not being in the possession of analytical skills. Clay was abused by academics who are supposed to be the society’s guardians regarding how to apply the modern tools in nation building.
I don’t advocate for Clay’s misdeed either, but I disagree with your power control strategies. It’s a pity that the academics who posses the analytical power and are champions of intellectual rights could not stand up and show us the way.
You arrived to Sweden maybe 15 years ago? Am not sure.. However, it’s now your taking your degree in politics which you’re also studying in English. Kudos brother.
Comparatively, I relocated to Sweden June 14th 2001. Today, I am doing my second term on the same degree as you, but in Swedish language at Södertörn university. I know you’ve struggle to keep me anonymous in all good matters I do and you’re disappointed that I have little or no scandals at all, otherwise you’d definitely capitalize on my downfall. Mr Osewe, Why do you feel threatened by me? I thought we were brothers in arms both ideologically and fate wise? Thank God am the master of my destiny!
In your writings,you have noted that the pictures are lifted from Ole Ngais home page and I appreciate it, but you must have forgotten to link back to us. It’s not enough that you mention the source, it is required that you link back to the original source of the material you’re using. This home page observes Copy right Creative commons share alike
This is to confirm the dignity of the the previous discussions that caught fire at KSB, you and other commentators were keen on always referring to the source of information but you seem to fail to respect the same intellectual right you protect so much at KSB.
Although I know you’ll twist and thread my article as it suit’s you, I hope you’ll rectify your missteps because it’s essential for a better and healthier society. Thanks in advance.
Ole Ngais.

Your page does not contain any licensing terms stating how you want your work to be attributed for re-use.

.
.
Nothing in this license impairs or restricts the author’s moral rights.
Otherwise i think the other commentators have done a good job in telling you HAPO UMETUPA MBAO.
Ole Ngais: You are not the enemy as you try to portray yourself in an unprovoked attack against me. The main aduis are the blood suckers in Kenya represented by Purity who are looting and killing Kenyans as the Coalition lurches from one crisis to another.
Continue wallowing in your bloated sense of impotence and boot-licking the Embassy at your free will. I doubt whether it would be productive to open an individual inter-blog war with you at a time when I am tied up with more important projects.
You need to clear your ideological confusion that has taken you from Narc-Kenya Scandinavia to Chama cha Mwananchi, Bagarmossen Church and did you say Social Democratic Party? In every Kenyan political Party you have tried, you have ended up being kicked out before running to the Swedes. Kenyan political groups are too hot for you forcing you to take refuge among the Swedes.
For your info, SDP is not Leftist as any Swede will tell you. It has been moving to the right for decades after the failure of Social Democracy in Europe. For your education, my Party – Justice Socialist Party – was once a splinter group of SDP when you were still in Kenya before we called it quits as SDP moved more and more to the right with privatizations (Telia, Railways, Post Office, Dagis etc), attacks on the youth, close down of institutions and other draconian measures that increased unemployment and helped in the dismantling of the Swedish Welfare State.
We could collaborate on your attempt to get your name on a ballot paper here using SDP because I have been there twice (including 1998, 3 yrs before you arrived in Sweden). My name was there on an “extreme left-wing ticket”. You are a promising father of nice kids and I will not attack you the way you have done because it will be like trying to uproot a tiny seedling emerging from the political ground in a field where seedlings are very scarce.
I am happy that you are using my name to build your troubled profile because when you attack me, people begin to wonder “who is ole Ngais?”. I did not mention your lovely boy in my short comment or your Swedish wife for that matter out of deep respect for families so don’t try to get me there. I don’t mix innocent wives and children in situations like this and I hope you get my point. In the past, people have attacked me at a family level but I never respond with the same filth and the advantage with this is that the sane reader then begins to notice the dreg in the exchange.
A wise person should encourage Kenyans like you to grow up politically so that we can collectively attack the real enemy ravaging our country instead of attacking one another using crap like the language in which one is studying Political science. You could “sing the Swedish language” including the National anthem but you will remain a nigger in the streets of Sweden even if you have a Swedish Passport.
xxxAn unknown and long standing complex
Congratulation for your studies at Södertorn University. I was last there in 2006 when I was studying Rhetorics before moving to Stockholm University to pursue PS where I also met Beryl. She was ahead of me. The good thing with Sweden is that you can take a break from studies and do something else eg write a book and then come back to continue.
I don’t see why that bothers you and why you are trying to advertise your studies in the process of attacking me. I do not intend to engage you deeply on such a petty subject touching on an isolated and awkward Ambassador you seem to worship because that would be a waste of intellectual in-put which could rather be used to try and establish whether the hippo campus plays any role in shaping human intuition. I am only straightening stuff to avoid a flame which, I believe, is unnecessary.
Go ahead and upload the Wangari pictures so that I can go ahead and upload video clips when she was last here. It will be a fantastic opportunity for a comparison by readers. While you and others were consuming tax payer’s money, I personally fund raised 15,000 kr in a span of one week through Green Peace to host Maathai.
This did not prevent Ambassador Kinyanjui from taking his seat at the high table beside Maathai because it was joint work between the Embassy and Wakenya. Kinyanjui told us that the Embassy had no money so we used other sources while at the same time working with the Embassy which provided transport. I don’t know where you were by then. Meeting Maathai is not about free food and drinks but interaction with one of our best brains in the country when she is here. When the Ambassador blocks this process, people have a duty to speak up.
If you are the only literate person in your village (and I pray that you are not), I could understand because then, I could be persuaded to think that you are addressing an unknown and long standing complex. I never challenged what you had achieved for your people back in Masaai land but when you rushed here to spew stuff voluntarily to prove I don’t know what, you appeared like a person running scared after imaginary accusations of having achieved nothing. Continue with the good work for your people.
xxxDemanding “web links” for CNN story
By the way, it is enough to say that you lifted something from KSB without linking because that passes for attribution if you didn’t know. I always use terms like “Clay’s blog”, Jamii and that should be enough. The risk is that when someone says next time that “CNN reported that Karua resigned”, you might demand a web-link and that is when things may start becoming complicated especially if you insist that the link has to be provided.
If saying that a picture was “lifted from the blog of ole Ngais” is not enough for you, then I get the impression that you may be out looking for attention for your website using a tiny comment from KSB that you have cheaply converted into an attack.
If there was no mention of your blog at all, then you could have a case. Instead, you could try aping KSB’s strategy of building a loyal fan-base which pumps info 24/7. By the way, when your name eventually gets to the ballot paper, call me so that we compare how far your name will be placed from the bottom. It will be nice to see if you can beat my record. You may have been using the “ballot paper chip” thinking that you are the first Kenyan but sorry. That title was scooped long time ago. You can consult with Swedish ECK if in doubt.
How does one respond when you blame me for “ugly pictures” posted by you at your own site? I did not even use those terms and the pictures never occurred to me that they were “ugly” as you put it. I said that Maathai looked surprised and that the other Kenyan did not look happy. In your twisted mind, you twisted this to suggest that I was implying that the pictures “were ugly”. Why are you doing this? You don’t have to introduce Tilla to me because I knew him in 1992, almost ten years before you arrived in Sweden.
I wish you good luck as you continue seeking attention, building an obscure political profile and finding a permanent home in the ideological landscape. Martha Karua was the chief mlambaji of Kibaki after election theft but she was side-lined and dumped before she resigned yesterday. In politics, bootlickers, sycophants and opportunists end up the same way, being dumped as their reputations are torn into pieces. The term mlambaji should not disturb you because roughly translated, it means a lap-dog. This is a common political term although when it is translated in Swahili, it sounds horrific.
You never mentioned anything about the web site contract you were denied by Purity or the story in which you accused her of corruption as you attacked the Embassy. Look at what you are doing today. You have become her boy after cleaning your blog of “bad stuff”. Now that the site is dead after “no updates” policy, may be, you might land a contract this time. Wish you the best.
Surely, ole Ngais, you are better than this. You can’t be that cheap. Don’t be like Awuor who has been reduced to carrying Purity’s handbag. When she manipulates people like you, there could only be two explanations. Either she is a master manipulator of simple minds or you have other long term objectives known only to yourself. As you continue attacking me, I will concentrate fire on your Purity and a failing Coalition government because that is where the main problem rests.
It was very painful to read the piece by Ole Ngais because his English grammar was so bad, I wonder why he publicizes his presence at a Swedish university.
No wonder in his earlier blog attempts to lambast the former Parliamentary speaker (Kaparo), a savvy Maasai lawyer from Kenya asked Ole Ngais to produce his school leaving certificate because he had performed dismally at the form four level. Today he is here running a blog that is not inspiring at all and full of feeds from other sources. He does not know that it was enough for Osewe to write he “lifted” the picture above from his blog. Honestly, this guy makes me question whether he is really utilizing his time properly at Södertörn for academic achievement or he is just sleeping as he did during his high school in Kenya.
Ole Ngais is full of tantrums, riding a roller coaster of unfounded woes bordering on a personal crisis. Why bring in Osewe’s team of academics who contribute at KSB? Surely, Ole Ngais is being belligerent without a cause. His piece was so mixed up as Osewe has analyzed: moving from politics to personal life; completely incoherent.
I can’t believe that he could dedicate so many paragraphs on folderol like having purchsed his family a piece of land and the plight of the Mukogodo, who basically suffer horrendously due to the ruthless ruling class that dislodged the Maasai from their ancestral lands many years ago. In fact, it is a shame that after many years in Sweden this is when he is purchasing his family a piece of land. Helping folks in Kenya has got nothing to do with lowering one’s integrity to the level of bootlicking Purity Muhindi. As Osewe put it, Ole Ngais is a lonely soul seeking refuge and does not mind being seen as Purity’s servile dependent.
Ole Ngais is still new in the circles of surrendering his soul to his Swedish spouse. He is at the baby-sitting stage, entering Swedish politics, weak as he is in his ideological standpoint, and thinks he is Swedish because he has a Swedish family. Time has proven that the jilting comes, whether one wants it or not, so let him be the dutiful father taking his confusion to Cyndee Peters and riding the blank horse of identity loss.
As Osewe put it, there’s no need to waste time and space on Ole Ngais’ gewgaw because he is merely emotional but empty on ideology.
Below is a verbatim reproduction of a response that Ole Ngais received when he attacked former Speaker Francis Ole Kaparo at his Maasai Warrior blog on June 16, 2007 under the title: “Xavier! You failed your Mukogodo Maasai people.”
Godfrey Kampan ole Putunoi engaged him pound for pound exposing his academic dwarfism. Ole Ngais is used to noise making thinking that he has arrived, can shout on the rooftop of his apartment then hobnob with Purity and her ilk. He has the holier than thou attitude assuming that others are dunderheads.
Read carefully point number 5 below decimating his academic records.
Dear Uncle (Ole Ngais),
I have read your remarks on Hon. Kaparo and wish to state the following facts clearly for the benefit of those who do not known and in particular the recipients of this massage:
Education: A lawyer by profession:
Hon. Kaparo is a self made man. He was born in Tiamammut near Lentile and went to school in Doldol. A son of pastoral parents, Kaparo went through thick and thin to make it in life. He developed a lot of interest in education. He did extremely well for primary, Secondary, High school, University and post graduate studies amid a developed manifold.
His role in Development:
Jeff is a product of Doldol secondary school, the only secondary school in the area apart from St. Francis Girls. I attended the same school, a school Kaparo built from scratch. All the schools in the area have a direct/indirect help from Him. I think the problem is not Kaparo but ourselves. The young generation from the area seldom desire to take an active role in social responsibility. Remember that we can make an impact by helping our people in our own small ways.
Currently, I am a member of an NGO that facilitates university education for bright needy girls from Kenya. We have already paid fees for 30 girls nationally; 4 are from the area. The benefits will eventually be accrued in the long run. Lets try to put a smile on the face of these poor people.
Land Issue: I would not wish to comment on the issue of white settlers because you may be right in the way it was handled, but let me dwell on the
the benefit we have obtained since Kaparo came to politics in 1988. We used to be confined to Mukogodo game reserve with migratory corridors only.
Ilpolei was principally set up to confine us to oblivion since we were known cattle rustlers. Kaparo gave us the scope of expansion; we moved and acquired Lots and lots of land and now we have bought land even in Nanyuki town. I am in Nkare Ngiro, 15kms from Nanyuki town.
Dependency Ratios: we need to examine this issue more closely. Your mum is not a close relative of Kaparo. She may have been returned empty handed (although I highly doubt since Kaparo is extremely generous) but just imagine the number of dependence politicians have. He may be concentrating on his close relatives and your mum is far down the Kinship line.
Your education and medical school: Uncle, you took a certificate course in public health in Nakuru together with Mr. Taparia, Kaparo’s step brother. I remember very well that my wife was on her internship in Nakuru after finishing a diploma in clinical medicine & surgery in Nairobi.
With all respect, uncle, you had not qualified for a diploma course in the area you desired. The minimum was a grade C (plain) overall with good passes in the sciences. Your grade was too far below. But hope is not lost after all. I personally, started at diploma level, to a Degree in Economics and I am now pursuing a Masters degree in economics at Kenya’s best university.
Why elect him again? You want him to go back and seek a parliamentary seat? But according to you he has deserted the area and corrupt!
You have a good day.
Godfrey Kampan ole Putunoi
It is good that Seidimu ole Ngais is now exposing himself to Wakenya. Am a member of Narc-Kenya Scandinavia and he gave us lots of problems before the Chairman threw him out of the Party. After making a useless web site he started behaving as if he was the chairman himself. He has two problems of thinking that if you put on a suite and a tie, you are important and if you marry a Swedish girl, you are better than other Kenyans. Instead of keeping his family life private, he goes around anikaring them like clothes drying on the sun. I am glad that some people are telling him the truth.
This Ole Ngais has a deeper problem and needs immediate help. He needs to be brought up to the level of normalcy and sanity that can help him truelly support and build our motherland, Kenya. Sending money to your family, calling them for Kshs 5000, buying them plots of land is ok but I find it difficult to place the same on the developing story that engulfed you at the embassy. You moved to Sweden in 2001 and only doing your second term in PS…well, if you brag about that, you need to realize that most Kenyan students here in Finland clear the same in record time. Your own records show that you expext to be through in 2011 (Ref: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/b/239/2a7).
A normal Masters degree requirement here is 2 years Ole Ngais, don’t waste your academic time. Osewe stated the delay quite well, you can take a break, write a book or so, then get back on track when you are geared to finish the heap. I suggest you take a break, maybe work at the embassy kidogo then get back to the books. By the way, does speaking swedish make you more Kenyan brother?
Kenyan?
Well, you still wonder what is Kenyan in a Kenyan! Waw, that was a difficult one Mr. Ole Ngais but I believe you have the answer so no rejoinder! I believe you command a barrel of knowledge, a reason for paring all you have achieved. Don’t cry foul, your son, Obama, is a Kenyan to Kenyans and a Swede to the Swedes just as President Obama, he has what is politically termed a mixed background. It is a pity that you introduce your family to us through the blog where you are under fire….hapo umetupa mbao as we used to say. Ndugu, stop parading your family to the diaspora huyo dada akuwacha haraka sana believe it or not.
Embassy:
People, you need to be civil and lead the way. What do you expect of the leaders back at home when you who should bear the academic mantle bend this low? You have to rise to the level of agreeing to disagree diplomatically. I find sentences like “Don’t be like Awuor who has been reduced to carrying Purity’s handbag”. We need a debate that can engage several brains and lead the office to the better. That embassy carters for a larger region beyond the borders of Stockholm and needs to be respected as the highest office in the region…at least for Kenyans! Please concentrate on the system and not the servants at the office. We can replace Purity and all the functionaries at the embassy but as long as the system remains intact…..bado mapambano. Now that Karua is gone, who is next????
Happy Easter.
Twasonga Mbele hata ingawa maisha ni dwara!!
Ole Ngais is an attention-seeker who wants to brush shoulders with people he perceives to be of a higher social mobility. That is why he pimps himself to Purity to be invited to those secret Embassy dinners for free food and drinks. He can talk all he can about his high morals, but to share food from the poor Kenyan taxpayers is immoral, when it is not accounted for within the larger uninvited community.
In as much as he fights for the Mukogodo, he should also protest against the poor relationship between the Kenyans and the Embassy. To mix with Purity who is part of the System that oppresses the Mukogodo shows how much of a house-nigger Ole Ngais is.
It is true that over the years, Ole Ngais has been a engaged in failed projects within Kenya-Stockholm and keeps reorganizing his blog depending on the type of alliance he is involved with momentarily. This shows that he has a wandering mind maybe due to his nomadic culture.
It is absurd that he has penned his frustrations yet brings nothing substantive for KSB readers to enjoy. I hope that he does not get dissolved in the weird Swedish society only to reawaken like Rip Van Winkle many years later, wasted and unredeemable.
I agree with Caro that what Ole Ngais has written is purely emotional without engaging the intellect. Osewe has given him a full dossier to unpackage in-between his class lessons, so that he can wisen up.
Osewe, Olengais is trying to get his name on a Swedish ballot paper and you were there in 1998, three years b4 he arrived here? That was a nice hit.
According to Ole Ngais: “Clay was abused by academics who are supposed to be the society’s guardians regarding how to apply the modern tools in nation building.”
In response to the quoted tripe, I tell him not to drag Clay’s name in his meaningless vitriol. The reasons why there was a strong reaction against Clay are archieved at KSB and there is no point using that to claim academics show no guidance among Kenyans.
We are gradually learning that Ole Ngais suffers from a severe case of inferiority complex and thinks, as we have noted from the comment by ‘Narc-Kenya’, that wearing a suit and being married to a Swedish woman automatically elevates him above other Kenyans. We are learning that he is problematic in teaming up with people, that is why he is lost and is trying to get submerged into the Swedish society by joining a Swedish political party, etc.
This is a great opportunity to see the real Saidimu Ole Ngais and his shallow thinking exposed in his boring, empty writing on Osewe.
Ole Ngais has a long way to go and if he was smart, would spend his time catching up on his studies, because the comment from Ole Putunoi on his education should worry him, instead of acting a warrior at the keyboard, yet he is not.
Well done ‘Kenyan in Finland’ for seeing Ole Ngais as a braggadocio who limps academically. I clicked on the Web link you provided and guess what? He has deleted his profile. It shows that he is monitoring KSB and knows he has exposed his underbelly wide open for shelling.
The KSB incursion will continue to be hard and tormentuous and Ole Ngais will call it “abuse” but smart people will call it “constructive criticism”. When one begins a fire, there must be a hose pipe with water in the vicinity otherwise it burns fiercely without stop.
The Embassy is a System in itself, since it represents Motherland in the Nordic region. We must keep on condemning Purity because she is part of that System. We must keep the fire burning in the Diaspora until real change comes.
Back at home, the Coalition especially on the PNU side, is already having casualties. Mungatana has followed Karua. Read on from the Daily Nation:
Assistant minister Danson Mungatana has announced his resignation from the Kenya Government.
In a double blow to the fragile Coalition Government, the Medical Services Assistant minister joins his party chairperson Martha Karua, who resigned on Monday, out of government.
Mr Mungatana has said he has decided to follow the lead of his party chair in leaving the coalition.
“If you see the leadership giving direction you have to follow suit and I had to do this as the second in command in the party, she has shown a firm position that the party should take.
“Many people are asking why we are leaving Government. It is a very small price to pay so that the country can have true change,” Mr Mungatana told a news conference at his Afya House office, Nairobi.

I am offering below a Free English language lesson for Ole Ngais. I have quoted sections in his article then corrected using capital letters.
Some are typographical mistakes but generally, his grammatical mistakes are due to a poor academic background. Ole Ngais reminds me of the main MALE character in the book titled: “The White Maasai”. Meanwhile, I can see where his inability emanates from; he attained way below Grade C in high school.
5. “Your education and medical school: Uncle, you took a certificate course in public health in Nakuru together with Mr. Taparia, Kaparo’s step brother. I remember very well that my wife was on her internship in Nakuru after finishing a diploma in clinical medicine & surgery in Nairobi. With all respect, uncle, you had not qualified for a diploma course in the area you desired. The minimum was a grade C (plain) overall with good passes in the sciences. Your grade was too far below. But hope is not lost after all. I personally, started at diploma level, to a Degree in Economics and I am now pursuing a Masters degree in economics at Kenya’s best university.”
“I am writing in responds to the article posted at KSB”: I am writing in RESPONSE…
“…The Laurette Professor Wangari..”: The LAUREATE …
“…but in several occasions…”: …ON several occasions
“…but I just want to mention…my presence in the Kenyan day when…”: My presence ON the Kenyan day…
“…there saw me discuss in length with the Ambassador…”: …there saw me discuss AT length with…
“…Osewe brands me as a communist through his codded language”: Osewe brands me as a communist through his CODED language
“Moreover, I seat in the Social Democractic party committee…”: Moreover, I SIT ON the Social DEMOCRATIC party committee
“Brother Osewe is openly known to be of the far left!”: Brother Osewe is openly known to be ON the far left!
“…nice photos among the uploaded once at my home page”: nice photos among the uploaded ONES at my home page
“Meeting and sharing a lunch with people of Professor Wangari Maathai is a dream come true to all Kenyans”: Meeting and sharing a lunch with people of Professor Wangari Maathai’s POSITION OR STATUS is a dream come true to all Kenyans. Ole Ngais wrote an incomplete sentence here.
“If you weren’t invited this time, we might be in the list next time”: If you weren’t invited this time, we might be ON the list next time.
“…for all Kenyans to meet the Nobel peace price winner all at one go”: for all Kenyans to meet the Nobel peace PRIZE winner all at one go.
“…but I am in the believe that the Kenyan Embassy couldn’t invite all …”: but I believe that the Kenya Embassy couldn’t invite all…
“The Kenya embassy spend the tax payers money for the reception…”: The Kenya embassy SPENT the tax payers money for the reception…
“I call them for more that ksh 5000 a moth”: I call them for more that Ksh 5000 a MONTH
“I take the challenge and sack the bitter lollipop”: I take the challenge and SUCK the bitter lollipop.
“I have receipts for all my contribution including calling cards if you want prove”: I have receipts for all my CONTRIBUTIONS including calling cards if you want PROOF.
English lessons, you made my evening. After rolling on the floor, laughing out loud, its pay-back time. I have compiled a report about the guy and his meeting with the Professor.
The guy met “LAURETT” Wangari Maathai then began writing “in RESPONDS” to Osewe following his presence “in the Kenyan day”. He did not however say whether Kenya has started a Wangari Maathai day. He then discussed “IN length” how “he SEAT” in the Social Democratic party.
He is concerned that brother Osewe is “ON the” far Left but left nice photos among the “uploaded ONCE” after Osewe has branded him a communist through “CODDED language”.
Then, as if that was not enough, he met and shared lunch with people “OF Professor Maathai”. Although he was there, he says that if Osewe wasn’t invited this time “WE might be IN* the list” next time.
We were then given hope that one day, all Kenyans will be able to meet the Nobel “peace PRICE” winner.
He is convinced about something the Embassy cannot do. He is “IN* the BELIEVE” that Purity cannot invite everybody. He was actually there and saw that Kenya Embassy “SPEND” tax payer’s money before bragging that he calls his village “for more than ksh 5000 a MOTH”.
As we waited, he “SACK the bitter lollipop” and if you are still in doubt, you need to wait longer because he has receipts for all his “CONTRIBUTION” including calling cards but only if you want “PROVE”.
The guy is a student at Stockholm University where he studies in Swedish as others sweat it out in inglis.
Thanks Susan for sharing. I also cracked up at your quick compilation – witty. I also wondered what Ole Ngais spoke with the good Professor Maathai.
No wonder the photo above shows her gazing away from the people around her. Ole Ngais must have bored her with his mediocre English. If his English is this bad, then why blow his trumpet with the stuff about studying Political science in the Swedish language at Södertörn University?
I offer him more corrections here and have skipped the real petty mistakes:
“…as well as when they spend the money in the retain shops”: Nothing exists as RETAIN shop. He must have meant retail shops or stores.
“So I am a real Kenyan? Real that the politicians who refuse to pay tax?”: So am I a real Kenyan? Real THAN the politicians who refuse to pay TAXES?
“Does the Kenyans Embassy realize how important Ole Ngais is…”: Does the Kenya Embassy…
“…significant partner in our nation building coalition both by national wise and internationally”: …both NATIONALLY and internationally. There’s nothing like “by national wise.”
“…instead of seeking to undermine, destroy and gimmick your fellow countrymen”: I wonder how Osewe GIMMICKS fellow countrymen. Throwing words without knowing their meaning typifies a shallow vocabulary base. The word has no meaning the way Ngais used it.
“I had hopped not to write this about you”: I had HOPED not to write this about you.
“In your article, you right”: In your article, you WRITE
“is he not a Kenya in your perception because he’s mothered by a white Swede?”: IS he not a KENYAN in your perception because he’s mothered by a white Swede?
ETC: ETC. Ole Ngais is a real clown. Too much ado for nothing!
I have waited with bated breath to read a major retort from Ole Ngais, “The Maasai Warrior” but it’s been zilch so far. Ole Ngais got his text analyzed to the core and he also received a free English language lesson, plus a psychoanalysis for personal reflection. This is what happens when a text is torn into pieces to bring various meanings to the readers.
According to him, he expected Osewe to twist and turn his response to suit him. Well, he got KSB readers breaking it bit by bit without twisting, but giving opinion.
As Osewe put it in his main response, Ole Ngais might be the first person in his village to enter a university, thus the cocky manner of throwing caution to the wind when discussing his “village achievements”. Some of what he is going through now, like coming abroad, settling with a Swedish spouse, etc. were long achieved by others who now take it easy enjoying their “personal dividends”.
Ole Ngais should be humble and thankful to the Swedish higher education system which has been merciful enough to admit him to Södertörn University, despite his very poor high school grades in Kenya. Luckily, the universality of higher education in the Western world gives all the opportunity to enjoy this level of education, which is good, compared to the rigid and expensive system in Kenya.
However, to come at KSB waxing lyrical about being at the University and probably doing better than Osewe, shows how much of a cheap braggart he is. Ole Ngais is trying to get his direction around, thus the assumed “global meandering mindset” of hobnobbing with Purity and the Swedish people. There is nothing wrong with that, except he reeks of impishness when he uses that to throw barbs at Osewe.
Ole Ngais asked why Osewe felt threatened by him. In Kenyan parlance I ask: Does he feed Osewe? Does he have anything in common with Osewe apart from being a fellow countryman? Osewe could answer these better, although his response clearly showed that there was nothing commonly shared to pose any threat.
I hope Ole Ngais puts this matter to rest and concentrates on his family, studies and the Mukogodo people.
KSB: I am humbled by the manner in which readers have intervened to fill in the gaps. Seidimu did not understand that his attack was actually an attack on many Kenyans here. We have Kenyans like Pastor Beatrice and Jacinter taking care of many orphans home while others have invested heavily. Who doesn’t call home? Others like Clay are running businesses here but they don’t shout about it at the roof tops. What will he say about Kenyans who have never been to University? For him, these Kenyans are hopeless.
How many have Swedish spouses with fantastic kids but you never see them on display everywhere in the Internet? How many cannot speak (leave alone study) Swedish? What about those without papers? How many are pursuing their Masters or Phds in English? I have written a book but I am not saying that those who cannot write books are stupid and so fourth. This line of thinking has to be opposed. We are all imortant and archievers in our own small way so Ndugu Ngais should enter into a period of personal reflection.
He laments that he called a meeting and only 8 Kenyans attended after extensive advertisment. What he doesn’t know is that Kenyans in Stockholm are not sheep to be herded through advertisments. You need real networks who agree with what you are doing for them to spare their precious time to attend your things. The fact that only eight attended means that you have no support and what you need to do is to convince Kenyans that Mugokondo people are more important thatn their jobs and families so that they can leave their things and attend. Your style of operation has been called into question several times. Kenyans will never attend your useless meetings if you want to prove to them how important you are. Bure kabisa.
Plot Summary of The White Masai
“This story of a relationship between a Masai warrior and a Swiss businesswoman will demonstrate a clash of cultures at its fullest. The author, Corinne Hofmann is a German entrepreneur from Switzerland who meets Lketinga, a Masai warrior while she vacations in Mombasa, Kenya’s beautiful coast.
She pursues this tall, handsome smooth black warrior a year later in 1987 and they begin a torrid love affair in an Africa which has never seen interracial dating let alone a white person.
Months later, Corinne decides to abandon her life in Switzerland and move to the bush in Africa with her Masai warrior. They lived in a five-foot tall hut made out of cow dung and had to walk miles just for water. Lketinga and Corinne encounter language barriers and cultural differences that they try to overcome with many struggles.
The warrior paints his face daily, wears a loincloth, carries a spear, doesn’t understand kissing, and drinks goat’s blood. Corinne has to adapt to very few baths, thousands of flies, eating goat, living without a toilet, electricity, or running water, which she does admirably.
She had encountered many wild animals in the bush, caught malaria and endured hunger. It was then she decided to open up a small shop that sold maize and sugar to the locals.
This help to provide a few comforts for them, like a mattress and money to help Lketinga’s mama out. Corinne bought a 4-wheel drive truck with the money she made from selling her business in Switzerland and that provided her and the locals with a ride to the city for medicine and goods.
They married the following year in the bush. She and Lketinga fought many battles over female circumcision, which he totally believed in but she refused adamantly.
After an extremely hard pregnancy a year later, more bouts of malaria and an increasingly jealous husband, Corrine’s life starts to crumble. She worries about her baby daughter growing up in such circumstances. Corinne did all the business deals with her customers since she knew had to count money and do the accounting but was accused of having affairs with those men.
Slowly their business was going under due to the warrior’s insecurities. He talked about getting a second wife and started to get physically controlling with Corinne. She now started to see that in order to survive she must return to Switzerland to get proper nutrition and a safer life for herself and her baby daughter.

I don’t know much about this issue but I have read the book about the Masaai and his Swiss woman. How do you connect it to the current discussion? This Masaai called Ole Ngais is married to a Swedish woman but they are not living in the bush in Kenya. They are living in Sweden. Did the Swedish woman hook up with him in the bush in Kenya then brought him here or what is the connection? Does he intend to marry another woman? That is not possible under the Swedish system and if he is giving the Swedish woman similar problems, they might have to divorce. I am interested because I am doing research on the subject under inter racial marriages.
ole ngais was brought to sweden by a mama mzee muswede than locked inside the house for a few years. now he is free please take it easy and let him breath.
Arne: Ole Ngais began a cyber lynch on Osewe which attracted all types of responses with sarcasm, metaphors, pejorative connotations, etc.
The book connection is a reminder to Ole Ngais that much of his homeland is quite remote, compared to other areas exposed to modernity in Kenya. This is not to despise him, but to refer to his excitement on achievements that so many others reached way before coming to Sweden. For him, coming to Sweden and marrying a white woman, running a blog (using very bad English), going to Södertörn University with very poor high school grades from Kenya, all seem to have gotten into his head and he assumes he is superior to other Kenyans in Stockholm.
Had he remained in that bush, chances are that he could have behaved like the man who was married to the Swiss woman; fetching a second wife and enforcing parts of his culture that are completely primitive and outdated in this century, etc. He should be grateful to be in Sweden because he can wear a suit and a tie; otherwise he could have remained a pastoralist and hunter in Maasailand.
Since you don’t know much about this discussion, the connection might not make sense. Just be careful not to ask Ole Ngais anything about interracial marriages, because he suffers from an identity crisis.
“Ole Ngai was imported by an old swedish lady a few years ago and what he needs is a break ” if this is true !
the man surerly deserves a break !
pole ole Ngai !
There is to much hostility and enemity brewing in Stockholm amongst the Kenyans. My humble suggestion to you all is,
“The best you to take care of your enemy is to make your enemy your friend”.
The current situation is retrogressive. You all need each other in one way or another especially since you are all so faraway from Jamhuri.
KSB: Well said. But people cannot agree on everything. Our Coalition government is approaching crisis because of disagreements. Kenyans in Stockholm disagree but they also agree on many other things that you may not know about.
Ole Ngais has aired his dirty linen in public and as ‘English lesson’ proved, he has an academic handicap. He runs a blog using the English language yet has no sense of articulation.
This man is as fake as they come and must be hiding under the skirt of his wife while attacking Osewe. I did not see anything worth ranting for after Osewe’s comments about Purity’s one-sided lunch invite with Professor Maathai.
I went to Ole Ngais’ blog for the first time and I must confess that I was totally disappointed by his poor English. I also saw that he has cut and pasted copies of his Swedish ‘GYMNASIUM’ (high school) transcripts to show that he is doing fine academically. The fool had to repeat high school in Sweden, a sign that he could not join any studies due to poor grades from Kenya.
Too bad the damage was done by his fellow Maasai (Ole Putunoi) who alerted us that he couldn’t even manage a diploma in Kenya due to his poor high school grades. In Sweden, even a dog can get an ‘MVG’ (very high scores) in exams. What we know is that Ole Ngais has no capacity to write proper English while attacking Osewe; What a buffoon!
Ole Ngais needs to level with other Kenyans and be more realistic instead of pretending to be better than them. His attack on Osewe’s personality was uncalled for and portrayed his idle and selfish mind.
The case of this guy Ole is tragic. He has posted 3-6 month subjects one picks up on the way in Sweden to counter accusations about his academic disability. He is obsessed with displaying to everybody an artificial “academic superiority” because he wants readers to believe that he is sitting on the Ivory tower in Stockholm.
The meeting with Maathai seem to have gotten into his head. His spouse needs to advise him at this stage to stop the stupid displays because he is making a bigger fool of himself. One positive thing is that you can take the Masaai out of the village but you will never take the villager out of the Masaai. Ole’s case is a weird example of the Masaai villager in cosmopolitan Stockholm.
Despite his apparent education, the villager in him refuses to go away and continues to express itself crudely in the eyes of the enlightened. when he walks in the streets of Stockholm in his suite and tie, you can indeed mistake him for a business Executive while in reality, he is actually suffering from inferiority complex and a burning desire that people accept him as educated and civilized. From his postings and mediocre blog, he does not pass for an intellectual, not even a pseudo-intellectual. He passes more as an attention seeker who believes that he is the most important Kenyan in Stockholm.
I talked to a Kenyan woman who used to admire Ole Ngais thinking that his poise was due to wisdom and intelligence, but after his disastrous essay with rotten English attacking Osewe, she told me during the Easter that wearing a suit does not determine intelligence. In this case, as Susan says, it is about hiding behind his inferiority complex.
From 2007-2008, his own Maasai people were already attacking him for the same complexes we are pointing out now. See examples from his mediocre blog:

dear toyianga,
eero you need a psychatist for the whole of your your life becuase after you share kempe with a dog wat can you tel kenyans! good day
I believe Ole Ngais has learnt a lesson though the hard way. This should be a wake-up call to all Kenyans in the diaspora especially those who still think that once they settle with a foreign woman or man, they can tamper with the peace of our people. Kenya is and will always remain important to Kenyans.
Ole Ngais came here blowing a cow’s horn thinking that KSB readers will swallow his bull crap hook, line and sinker.
It is no big deal for a Kenyan man to marry a Swede or basically a white woman. But imagine, for Ole Ngais who came from the bush somewhere in Maasailand, a white woman is equal to heaven. Joining Södertörn University is magic and a dream come true for him; he must be the first ever in his village to join one.
Since he came to Sweden in 2001, why is he still doing an undergraduate degree, considering his attack on Osewe? Going to the university is one’s own choice and if there is no pressure from a sponsor, taking a break is in order. For example, Osewe took a break to write his book.
Ole Ngais forgets that he also had to get a Swedish residence permit, build a family and possibly work, before being stable enough to join the university. This shows he does not think beyond his spectacles, that is why his level of assessing psycho-social issues is so narrow.
In reality, with his poor Kenyan high school grades, he should have been herding cows in his village. The best job he could have managed is a local Assistant chief, married to at least four wives and living in a low grass-thatched mud house, drinking cow milk and blood daily, while dressed in a red-checked shuka (Maasai blanket).
There is a rumor that Ole Ngais abandoned the mother of his first son in Kenya. If he had respect for his culture and that woman, he could have been with her now. But the white skin of his Swedish wife fascinates and blinds him such that he hates other Kenya-Stockholmers whom he thinks are non-achievers. Just like Lketinga, the male character in the book “White Maasai”, Ole Ngais seems to be losing his identity.
Whenever I revisit his poorly-written article attacking Osewe, I burst out laughing imagining that since he did not respond to him at KSB, he must have “taken his challenge and is now ‘sacking’ the bitter lollipop” – if you catch my drift! With this kind of English, Ole Ngais is surely unfit for discourse analysis.
He can go and shout at the lions in Kolmården Wildlife Park 150 kilometers far from the smart Kenya-Stockholmers who have seen his hypocrisy.
Stockholm Masai, you have made my day with your posting #29. The experience Ole Ngais is going though is simple. He never learnt about some basic stuff when he was growing up because he may have grown up in the bush.He claims to be educated but he seem not to understand some basic stuff an educated person ought to know.
I think he has learnt his lessons. I have been waiting for him to react so that I can hit but he appears to have discovered that something went wrong somewhere, forcing him to retreat. KSB is a harsh place if you are under attack and I always try not to get involved into useless controversy.
One thing Ole Ngais needs to know is that for Kenyans like myself, he is not as important as he thinks regardless of the suit he puts on. He needs to separate his family members from his public adverts because he is exposing his white wife to a lot of unnecessary attacks. Why should he tell yhe world that he has a white Swedish wife if it is not for cheap prestige? I pity this woman because she is a victim of things she doesn’t understand.
Finally, Ole Ngais needs to take a break and think about his future as a budding politician. After all the things that have come out, he needs to go slowly and accept that he is not the best boy of Stockholm. This is because the best boys never even show up. They are in hiding doing their things secretly and celebrating their successes quietly.
Ole Ngais went to Södertorn and he wants everybody to know. He has put his cheap CV in the Internet for everybody to see. This is what I call cheap publicity which he needs to avoid because it is destructive. You could be educated but that should be your private matter.
People want to see the productive results of your education and we have not seen anything apart from hopeless blogs and boasting around. At least, some people are writing books we are reading so he should re-think his methods. I have worked with him and I enjoy telling him the truth.
Ole Ngais should stop telling people that he had lunch with Maathai. It was a collective standing snack-session with Purity’s boot-lickers at the hotel. Now, ngais is claiming that he sat with Maathai and had lunch using a picture he forced with the “Peace Price” winner! I will come back to hit him again if need be. He remembers why I am hitting so no problem.
Many thanks Susan because your input has been great too. I can also deduce that Ole Ngais was not exposed to issues outside his small Maasai enclave; he therefore thinks that other Kenyans are children of a lesser God.
Most of the KSB commentators found him naïve in his shallow “responds” to Osewe. It is shameful to read that he runs a blog and that he is chairman of the little known political party called Chama Cha Mwananchi (CCM) Sweden. I wonder how Koigi Wamwere the party leader can work with him, given his narrow scope of articulation.
The CCM Sweden blog is full of cut and paste material with red-colored headings (the Maasai Nation flag) but no updates. Ole Ngais himself is always dressed in a red-checked shirt, typifying the bush he came from. He shall probably begin wearing a red blanket in Stockholm.
I agree that Ole Ngais needs to keep his wife off of the public limelight because that is his private life. He has now exposed her to matters she shouldn’t have known or if she knew, should have remained private. Ole Ngais is 33 years old but does not come out as a smart guy fit to be a politician. In his past online discussions with fellow Maasai, he got walloped for the same cheap bragging KSB attacked him for.
Ole Ngais does not know that some of us took photos with Professor Maathai when she came for her Nobel Lecture after (according to Ole Ngais), receiving the ‘Price’. If at the University level he doesn’t know it is ‘Prize’, then he should cease showing off. At this rate, he needs an English dictionary for each word written at KSB because he has been found wanting in this area.
Some commentators left me in stitches when they bombarded Ole Ngais using his own words and believe me, I pity that poor Maasai Warrior. He goes to church and claims the high moral ground championing the rights of the minority Mukogodo Maasai, yet in reality he exhibited anger and sheer hatred in the way he attacked Osewe.
He could not reply at KSB because the readers dissected his writing and found it was more emotional than rational. He can only be his wife’s boss (or maybe she bosses him instead, so he had to let off steam by attacking Osewe).
Since bashing Ole Ngais is so fashionable, I will briefly pick on a few things in his general and loose response to Osewe published today at his Maasai Warrior blog.
Just for the records, he should know that what he calls an “Aviator” is really “Avatar”, meaning the image representation of a computer’s user. According to his shallow mind, the responses at KSB all came from one person (Osewe) with the same avatar, which to him is ‘aviator’. Surely how stupid can Ngais be? He must have wasted a lot of money during his basic education to NOT express himself in simple English.
He then claims he has seen the same IP addresses used for all the KSB comments. Why doesn’t he publish those IP addresses? Ole Ngais still reasons as if he is in high school, clearly from his response.
He then desperately claims he cannot respond to avatars without “faces” (images) yet Osewe’s main response had his image under Makozewe. Question is, if he deems the responses as empty attacks not linked to faces that he knows, why can’t he respond to Osewe whose avatar bore his own image?
KSB has fed Ole Ngais a full dose of lessons on how to behave socially and hopefully he will have an awakening. He can continue ‘murdering’ his written English for all people care.
As usual, his empty response was full of grammatical. He should do his homework as he mentioned, otherwise he is bound to fail as he did in high school. Why can’t he write in Swedish which he proclaims to be using at the university? He cannot because it will be his wife doing it for him. Poor Ngais!
Just for fun, I have fresh grammatical mistakes from Ole Ngais:
“Spectators has been wondering why I failed to counter strike”: Spectators HAVE been wondering…
“We have been made aware that the commentators originates from the same IP”: We have been made aware that the commentators ORIGINATE from the same IP..
“The comments are made from the same machine using different identities and aviators”: The comments are made from the same machine using different identities and AVATARS
Ngais even fruitlessly doesn’t know how to spell the slang (Ya’ll): “I’ll definitely sambaza it to ya’ next time”: I’ll definitely sambaza it to YA’LL next time (meaning YOU ALL)
“Whether this commentators are from one and same machine…”: Whether THESE commentators are from one and same machine…
“They’ll drawn you with destructive negativity!”: They’ll DROWN you with destructive negativity!
“go a head and massacre me for my poor grammar”: NGAIS SHOWING SELF-PITY FOR HIS SHORTCOMINGS – but should be: Go AHEAD and massacre me for my poor grammar
“So far, My weekend is sporty and the sun is shinning”: So far, my weekend is sporty and the sun is SHINING
“Am doing my home works and you’ll have a nice weekend”: Am doing my HOMEWORK and YOU have a nice weekend.
KSB: English lesson, you are a “correction maniac” to say the least. I am surprised that Ole Ngais cannot even recognize Ochanda (Kenyan from Finland) who has used his name before while posting and even told us about Purity’s visit to Finland. He can’t even recognize our own former blogger who has been using the “Lion avatar” openly. He seem to be suffering from “Makozewe mania” because he sees me hiding behind every comment at KSB. He has the IPs “on file” but he can’t publish them. Someone reported that he is the Chair of Chama cha Mwananchi and wondered how he works with Wamwere. That was after I wrote that he was kicked out of this Party but for him, I was the commentator. I think Jeff (he dropped his name Jeff as he wrestled with his identity crisis after coming to Sweden) needs prayers and I hope that our “Clerics” will remember him in Prayers tomorrow Sunday the 19th. After making a fool of himself, he is now “boxing the void” and its just hilarious! Isn’t there someone out there who can make a “Cartoon Network” story out of this?
A personal advice to Ole Ngais:
After reading many Internet entries linked to the name Ole Ngais, I wish to advice him to reorganize his blog into a personal “online diary” format or concentrate on “micro-blogging”, which consists of short posts.
The reason for this is because Ole Ngais has no sense of assessing or analyzing socio-political issues within Kenya-Stockholm or Kenya in general.
I have read various posts concerning his involvement with projects that never took off, like the infamous “Kestohomes” initially dubbed “Operation Thunderbolt” – aimed at raising money for real estate ventures in Kenya. Comments from Ole Ngais were a reflection of his bucolic upbringing because he had no exposure to the Kenyan real estate development discourse.
Many of the posts attacking former Speaker Mr. Ole Kaparo drew anger among his own Maasai folk, who vehemently opposed his narrow purview of the Mukogodo people.
I have also analyzed his entries at the Chama Cha Mwananchi (CCM) Sweden blog and honestly, his political scope is nil. That blog literally bleeds with cut and paste material from Kenyan newspapers and other websites, but lacks the true political voice that should represent the poor Kenyans, as claimed in their Constitution.
On the Kenya-Stockholm Embassy relations, much has already been written. However, reading his recent posts on Purity and Prof Maathai, I conclude that Ole Ngais is definitely a bootlicker and “Purity’s Boy”, because although he is faintly against Purity’s bad relationship with Kenya-Stockholmers, he doesn’t mind her invitations to ‘secret parties’. His criticism is weak, meaning he is a wishy-washy character.
Because of all the above, Ole Ngais can do better posting short phrases and pictures without involving himself in floppy and poorly structured sentences in the name of analyzing things beyond his range.
The recent entry at his blog (April 18th) with pictures of his family mingling with Prof Maathai, has short references to the occasion. This is the best Ole Ngais can do, although he still bloopers mentioning her Prize as “Price” but you can tolerate it without flinching much, compared to the unfathomable long vitriol he poured at Osewe on the same topic at KSB.
If Ole Ngais changes to the online diary or micro-blogging style, he can easily post his family stories about “home works”, his kids or a dog “eating his homework”, etc.
He does not have an in-depth grasp of the English language, thus the low hits on his blog. Ole Ngais lacks the nuance or gradation that sweetens writing and his poor grammar is a turn off to a keen reader. Not everyone can be a writer or President. Look at President Obama’s deep intellect and charisma, compared to the former goon Bush, who became president through dubious means (an open secret).
For Ole Ngais to save face and not give “university education” a bad name, because people may start doubting the quality of Södertörn University that he attends, he can tone down this attention-seeking attitude and wear the right-fitting shoes, other than clutching at straws, because he is a nonentity in the Kenyan blogosphere.
Ole Ngais is a half-baked person in Kenya’s socio-political sphere and should not waste time indulging his blog with such matters. There is nothing wrong even if he is originally a countryside bumpkin; it’s just that he should stop the “wannabe attitude”. He could be more adored sticking to an anthropological discourse than political, because his blog doesn’t depict anything closely related to the pursuit of Political Science at Södertörn University.
He should see the Swedish “bimbo” Linda Rosing’s blog which is full of silly personal things, yet has a crowd of loyal fans because she discusses everyday life.
