ANXIETY AS COMRADES EAGERLY AWAIT SONU ELECTIONS

#comradepower

“COMRADES! COMRADE POWER!” It has started again- cries of comradeship! Students Organization of Nairobi University (SONU) elections are upon us, again.
You know what that means right? Well, once in a while, the students do something to remind motorists along Waiyaki Way and Uhuru Highway that they run the streets. Bags are being packed just in case someone says that elections have been rigged. Tempers flare. Tension. Headache. Street battles with the police. Nobody is safe.

Probably, if you own a car, I think that it will be wise to use the public service. Why you ask? If the recent goings-on are anything to believe, then there is a major storm in the offing.
Every time a student’s kamukunji (informal meeting) being held somewhere is heard then something is up!
Bill Odunga writes for The Crazy Monday Standard Newspaper’s pullout; “dark clouds are gathering. They are heavy with rampant student strikes, incessant institutional bureaucracy and general laxity of the administration in handling student affairs.

When these clouds finally have their fill; which should be sometime next week; it will not just rain. It will pour. Torrents and hailstones. It will flood the entire university.
But not just the entire nine campuses of the Ivory Tower; but speculation and logical deduction is that the El Nino will have to drown the neighbors, too. Business premises around the school, the motor vehicles, innocent by-standers and street families will feel the wrath of these waters. Be advised.
Forget Game of Thrones, folks. This is SONU, and the storm is coming."
By Embukane Vincent Libosso.
