This week has been a
great week. A week of history being made and re-written. History maker; Victor
Mugubi Wanyama’s dream came true.
The Harambee Stars
captain; Kamukunji High School alumni and former Nairobi City Stars player;
signed a 4-year contract deal on Thursday night after completing his record
breaking 1.63 billion(£
12.5 M); Scottish transfer to Southampton.
Wanyama 22; now
becomes a “saint”- the nickname to English side; Southampton.
Many years ago (well;
not so many); when I was a little boy; my grandfather often told me that a
child born belongs to the village and the people. A son of the soil or a
daughter of the village.
Kuka would tell me that a success story of an individual is our
story and that is why today; to many Kenyans; “victor is our boy!”
The good old man on
Maragoli would carry on with the homily,” this is how people live together.”
Wnayama is a
role-model and d the first Kenyan to sign for an E.P.L club. If you should see
him; tell him that “his people” wish him well. Tell him to work hard.
Say these to those
who look up to him; tell them about Kuka’s
wisdom from the village.
Show these readings
to those in the highest of places bit with the intentions to cause dis-unity.
Tell the president;
his deputy and our leaders. Tell them of the unifying factor called sports. Tell
them; this is why our people say; “it is not Rudisha, “rudishaing” (returning)
the gold or Mugubi playing; it is the bold colors of red, black, white and
green. The true colors of Kenya!”
Tell them; the people
are saying this; not just in Maragoli; but in Nairobi; Makueni and in villages;
schools and homelets throughout this great land; Kenya; as well.
