PULLING A "UHURU"

"Pulling a Uhuru" does not mean attaining independence, but survival tactics drawn from the Kenyan President his Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta during his state of the nation address. If you happens to live under the equinox affected area, then you know what happened when the president was addressing Kenyans. I am not political, but what happened on Thursday may give us a tip or two on life skills.

After some members of parliament decided to disrupt the ongoing presidential speech, the President just appeared to be calm and collected, he just laughed it off calling it entertainment. Now the act of laughing something out is what i call, pulling a Uhuru

There are instances in this life that we need to Pull a Uhuru and move on.

For instance, yesterday April 1st, was on fools day where people are pranked and goofed around. I had one instance of a friend cancelling travelling up country because the lecturer had called them for an impromptu C.A.T. It later turned out that it was a prank. Okay, that succeeded, but suppose you are pranking me. I could sense lies from a distance, so i just Pulled a Uhuru and told you that it was mission impossible.

Another major instance happens on social media, reading a post that you know it has been directied to you and it is hitting on you like a sledgehammer. You read, re-read, post-read and promise yourself you wouldn't react only to realize you commented bitterly on it. Please Kenyans, just Pull a Uhuru and scroll down.

This is common with many employed Kenyans. You are supposed to be paid on 27th at the end of the month. Your financial status is quite wanting, so you decide to wait until 29th to go to the bank. One thing is for sure, the two day difference is a guarantee that the salary has been credited. Upon keying in the ATM pin, you do not need to check the balance but go on to withdraw 20,000 Kshs at once. Shock on you, you do not have sufficient funds to perform this operation, the machine responds. Guys, just pull a Uhuru and go on with life, they will pay on 5th the following month.


And if you feel disgusted about something or somebody, please Pull a Uhuru and move on.
