As long as dualism remains to be a conceptual existence of two antagonistic forces, the reality is; there will always be two opposing forces; light and darkness, fatness and thinness, hatred and love, life and death and more notably the society will constitute of underlings and overlings.
In Kenya today we have two societal tribes; the rich and the poor. The former class basks on opulence, bountifulness and contention. They live in suburb areas with abundant security and high-end social amenities.
The latter class are the wretched of the earth, they are accustomed to adversity, suffering and hopelessness.
Blessed are the poor for the kingdom of heaven belongs to them bible verse seems to be their only life assurance.
Nothing more can be said of this class or lest tears will start flowing here.
Kenya's first deputy president William Samoei Ruto is of all societal classes. Before gods smiled at him, he was running at passing trailers with birds strapped on his arm at Kambi ya Kuku to make ends meet. His humble background exposed the son of Sugoi to earlier hustling.
Currently, Ruto is among the country's richest men with vast wealth empire in his hold. He owns a fleet of high-end fuel guzzlers, a chopper here a chopper there, dozens of five star hotels, apartments here apartments there and more notably is his farming venture back home which brings forth millions of returns annually. Hustler's clerk in not a mere rich man but a multi-billionaire according to Forbes listing.
History has it that 'my friend' made his first and possible second million shilling during his tenure as Youths for KANU'1992 treasurer. This was a lobby group which majorly constituted of youths who were propagating Moi Tena! gospel. This group basked on hooliganism and billions of money were used to spread Moi's re-election message across the country.
My friend! Maisha ni kujipanga, and incase you who are ignorant always remember that opportunity is a haughty goddess who wastes no time with those who are unprepared. Its evident when opportunity presented itself, Ruto was well prepared and boom! he wisely spent every shilling he made to form basis of his now economic fortune. savings and prudent spending does wonders.
