If you put 100 red ants and 100 black ants in a jar, they will coexist peacefully. However, if you shake the jar, they will start killing each other, believing the other color is the enemy, when the true "enemy" is the person shaking the jar.

The same is true in society. Men vs Women. Black vs White. Faith vs Science. Young vs Old. Etc…

Before we fight each other, we must ask ourselves:
Who shook the jar?”

There are families that split up and they become enemies, there are friends that separate, there are husbands who divorce, and there are brothers who are separated and separated from each other.

All this is because of a person who shook the vessel by backbiting and gossip, whether for his own personal interest, or whether to suppress his heart.

We hit the proverb with an ant, but whoever shakes the bowl is a snake

A man who calls his kinsmen to a feast does not do so to save them from starving. They all have food in their homes. When we gather together in the moonlight village ground it is not because of the moon. Every man can see it in his own compound. We come together because it is good for kinsmen to do so. | Chinua Achebe.

Alone I can smile, but together we can laugh.
Alone I can enjoy it, but together we can celebrate.
Alone I can talk, but together we can speak.
Alone is a voice, while together is a force.
Unity is great strength.

A toad does not run in the daytime for nothing. Chinua Achebe's 'Things Fall Apart'. Toads are nocturnal and hide during the day, seeing one active in daylight signifies danger, extreme panic, or a forced action.

Those who choose to run away from war are wiser than the one who fights every battle.... some battles are not worthy confrontation even running away is part of self-defense. This is only understood well by those who attended martial arts.

The Kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians. I can see STRANGE FIRE in the camp of the WICKED.

In that night was "Belshazzar" the king was slain and "Darius" the Median took the kingdom. - Daniel 5:25-31

God is angry, there will be a GREAT SHAKING at all level, Satan knows this and he's going on Rampages.

At any time, you think you have hit the end, JAH flips the page with a rhythmic twist, and the story becomes bigger than the current chapter.
It’s the rhythm that tells you when to hold your breath, when to race ahead, and when to linger in a moment that matters and gets the connection with the characters. Get the pacing right, and you’ll have readers flipping pages. Get it wrong, and you risk losing them somewhere between your version of “Once upon a time”.

I was a child at one point, some people threw dirty linen on my face, some said I am a FOOL.
Yes, I am a fool who vomits thunder, and people ponder.
Yes, I am a fool who likes telling the truth.
Yes, I am a fool people always seeks his opinion on how to garnish soup with tasty onion,
Yes, I am a fool who has no money, but enjoys honey from folks I helped on a journey,
Yes, I am a fool who likes helping others, but in the end, some lifted me to success,
Yes, I am a fool some people took for granted, cheated and mocked, but remained disappointed.

I would not want to see another child suffering in that way, or in any way for that matter. With this said, I can only imagine the heartache that thought would bring to those that do pass through the same highway.

Moreover, as I wallow in that valley of despair, and in a low region or landscape of hopelessness fueled by the injustices seen in my own life and the lives of those around me, I can never be satisfied as long as our children, brothers and sisters are stripped of their selfhood and robbed of their dignity.

It is said that back then, bicycles were used to shuttle goods across the Kenya – Uganda border. Whenever the bicycle operators were ferrying people over to Uganda, they would ride though Busia town shouting, “Border, border!” to let people know their intentions of crossing the border.

The call became so popular that bicycles were baptized by the name boda boda. Over time, the word’s popularity spread throughout East Africa and in May 2017, boda boda was added to the 9th edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.

Many now associate the word boda boda with motorcycle taxis, but its origin remains well rooted in the early means of transport used in Busia. Even now as the need for speed has become more apparent and motorcycle boda bodas have gained more popularity, bicycle boda bodas retain a special place in the hearts of Busia locals, who will fight to keep them around for as long as they can.

"You must always have an exit plan. If you don't have, you're done". ~ This is a Busia border contemporary saying.

Busia is that border town where Kenya says “Hi” and Uganda replies “Webale nyo!”

Busia is the ultimate crossover point - Literally one minute you’re in Kenya, next minute you’ve crossed in Uganda and you are buying a Rolex then later you realize it is street food, not the watch you wanted).

The town is always buzzing; Trailers honking, Boda bodas overtaking like they’re in Formula 1, and traders doing deals faster than your M-Pesa can load. If you hear three languages in one sentence — relax, you’re still in Busia.

Even the Chicken know It's a hustle town. Kuku hazitembei—zina-run! If you snooze or take a snap, someone might sell your slippers. Meaning, you must be alert always.
