MY STUPID IDEAS: Mutiga Gitobu
What happens in the social media circles is really very interesting. It makes
the readers laugh, scream, mourn or even cry. It is in the social media that
people express their thoughts, their sorrows, fears, hatred, love etc. More importantly,
the social media has grown to be a platform of sombre politics. Ethnicity has
been swelled through social media to an extent that it has become a questionable
potential threat to the peace in this country and across the world where we
have ethnic groups comprising a nation. That said and done, it is this piece
below that wedged my attention today. The piece by the former University of Nairobi
Chairman SONU Mr. Mutiga Gitobu in his Facebook account-https://www.facebook.com/mutiga.gitobu.7/posts/10207110982312048 has generated a lot of
talk among his peers and close associates. I find it interesting, crazy, and
laughable and very innovate. I decided to blog about it and give it the title ‘MY
STUPID IDEAS’, a title that that was suggested by one his followers going the
by the Facebook name Jack Muriuki.
The question is, “Are we going overboard to even writing our own wills on the social media” Read through.

“Good people I hope this finds you well and in good health. I take this
opportunity to announce some major far-reaching changes I have designed and
consequently approved as to how I wish to govern myself. I have decided to be
mean with my communication skills and devices so no one should complain that I
either don't pick or call them. Also I have banished myself from all the social
joints I earlier visited and no one should ask me why. I further disassociate
myself from all allies that we kept company either drinking, eating or chewing
those silly herbs called Miraa or
drinking those hazardous concoctions called Alcohol. No one should call me in
the name of having silly things like coffee, tea, soda, beer or having any
meal. No one should call me for things like a small favor or soft loan etc.
Further I don't expect anyone to pay any debt owed to me and neither
will I pay back to any one that I owe. Those time consuming episodes like
planning weddings, funerals, birthdays, cultural nights, political meetings, rallies,
professional forums, goat eating, locusts and whatever form of those archaic
forums have been discarded. In addition if you have been a vendor of those
dirty twigs called Miraa or whatever name you wish to give, or a sleepy bar
attendant and I owe you anything rest assured I wont part even with a cent. For
the period that you made hefty profits from me you never gave me any dividend
for selling me your nonsense. That however does not mean am going to hide, am
very free in Nairobi, roaming as I wish. I will also not honor any previous
agreement with any landlord/lady; I will pay when money is available.
For spiritual affairs, church attendance is strictly one and half hours
and an offering of KES 50 every Sunday. I will not plant any seed because I
know better where to plant. No unsolicited for prayers. For relatives who tell
me they prayed for me or they are praying for me to get a better job, please
stop that nonsense and do something beneficial to yourselves.
For those who refer to themselves as former class mates who want to gather
and slaughter goats and other animals, count me out of those stupid gatherings
that only litter the environment. In fact scientists have recommended the
consumption of locusts to avoid lifestyle diseases and I have made my order
with ICIPE. I will never attend any fundraising for things like construction of
churches or any place of worship, our ancestors worshiped under trees, in
mountains or beneath the caves and miracles happened.
