I loved my sister very much. she was the youngest in our family of 3 boys and 5 girls. wangari was beautiful in every turn and i must confess we adored her. finally she grew up to be a lovely girl. she could not understand why i and other sisters choose to get married and live a dedicated family life. she chose the other route and soon she was sleeping around with who was who is our community and was unapologetic for her love of money, more money , men and fame. she drove the best cars, dinned in the best hotels and made shopping abroad. one day she became sick and was bed ridden for months. i could preach to her to accept Jesus as her personal saviour but she could not hear non of it. she was sturbon but one day when i had gone to visit her in hospital she called me and said.' i have accepted'. she died several weeks later and was buried in a polythene bag. if only she had listened to our advice. RIP dear wangari.

dedicated to all my grand daughers and daughters in the village.

What's this silly obsession with HIV? It is just another disease, like diabetes or hypertension!

›› ELECTRIC EEL 27-May-2010, reply_300457
@ couch......wacha mchezo .. eti kaa diabetes or.....just thank god that you wake up everymorning full of energy and ready to face the day... think about the reverse of that and you will appreciate yr robust health . ..
for wangari .. its a sad story. and its real.whether you wear a blind fold or not ..
villagers take care of yourselves !

@Couchpotato, HIV is transmitted.
Diabetes is not,hypertension is not!
There are many things one cant do when infected with HIV.
However, ALL diseases and sicknesses are from the devil and can be healed in Jesus name who is the same yesterday, today and forever!

Sitaki kutoa uzushi lakini ningeomba tulichukulie kwa utofauti swala la ukimwi. Sioni haja ya kuwatia tumbo joto wakenya wenzako kwa wakati na majira kama haya tunayoishi. Kunayo maswala tata na nyeti zaidi kuliko ukimwi. Hebu fikiria juu ya ufisadi na jinsi ambavyo umeadhiri taifa hili kwa miongo kadhaa sasa. Na bado mwajadili juu ya swala lililotatuliwa miaka mingi iliyopita. Fikiri sana wewe ajuza.

@JD, waweza pia kufungua mjadala mwingine ukipenda, lakini hapa twamfariji mwenzetu @cucu, hata kama kunao wengine wanaoshuku kama yuamzungumzia dadake kweli au la.
@cucu, pokea risala za rambirambi kutoka kwangu.
Pole kwa yaliyokufikia.

@Juguma kadhalika, wish I could understand ur language!

@(unnamed), my Indian neighbor knows Kiswahili.
A British neighbor I once had understood and even taught Kiswahili.
And Louis Leakey knew Kikuyu.
I am next to a beautiful Chinese lady on a queue in Equity Bank.
She is speaking Kiswahili.

Sitaki kujiingiza katika hii hali ya mshike mshike kama JD na wengine lakini nina swali moja tu kwa bi kizee...

"Hivi mbona mkamzika dadayo kwa polythene?...madharau kwa mfu"

›› couchpotato 27-May-2010, reply_300489
@Pendo & Electric Eel: How or when you get a disease doesn't matter. A disease is a disease. Nobody deserves to be sick, even if everyone thinks it was their mistake.

This unending discussion about Aids is just thinly-veiled stigma and discrimination. People get diabetes (4 million Kenyans today compared to 1.2 million with HIV), cancer and hypertension from poor lifestyle habits, but you don't get people all the time saying, "eat well or you will die". Why keep on singling out HIV?

And for the record, lifestyle diseases such as diabetes are now killing more Kenyans than HIV, thanks to ARVs.

Ask Dr EmKei.

@Zinc, CONGRATULATIONS TO UR COWS, CATS, DOGS, DONKEYS, CHICKEN, NEIGHBOURS, CHILDREN, TREES AND ALL AROUND U FOR "KNOWING" KISWAHILI.

Risala za rambi rambi kwake cucu kama kweli alimpoteza dadake @ Zinc. Lakini nafikiri kuna njia mwafaka ya kujadili swala kama hili. Nilichoelewa, ni kana kwamba cucu anaridhika na kifo cha dadake kwa kuwa aliisha mtabiria kwa kumueleza adhari za mienendo yake awali.
Kwako pendo... wacha nisiwe mwalimu wako wa kiswahili kama kufikia sasa hukielewi dadangu. Ina maana ya kwamba hauienzi lugha ya taifa. Samahani lakini.

You are welcome @Pendo.
Most welcome.

@Ketchup: Nice observaion. This is the kind of stgma and discrimination that has been associated with HIV since the 1980s, ati when a person dies from the disease they have to be buried in a polythene paper.

Kwako couch... maoni yangu haswa!! Hamna haja ya kuishi tukirejea maswala ya alfu lela u lela. Kwanza sitayaita madharau, nauona kama utovu wa nidhamu au kuwa na akili punguani kumzika mtu kwa karatasi ya plastiki.

@Zinc - speaking swahili and reading swahili are two very different things, I speak swa fluently, I was born in eastlands (doonholm), but I cant read swahili more than 4 lines its confusing.
why do coast pple fail in swa? they speak swahili sanifu but when it comes to exams..............

@Cucu - pole and may she rest in peace

›› cucu 27-May-2010, reply_300545
@ketchup...initially people with AIDS would be burried in a polythene bag since it was dealy feared.

›› cucu 27-May-2010, reply_300548
@couchpotato..@juguma diani.... AIDS is real wait until you catch it, may be you willl understand. but it will be too late.

›› Juguma Diani 27-May-2010, reply_300559
Hayo ndio mawaidha uliyokuwa unampa dadako @ cucu?? Basi hakuwa na budi.

›› Frisson 27-May-2010, reply_300567
Listen here Cucu. It is sad that your sister (or whoever she stands for) died. Sincere condolences.

But let us be honest. You can't go around sleeping with every last person or shooting drugs using any needle you find lying around and not expect consequences. You reap what you sow. AIDS is real. But I will not 'catch' it just because I'm not preaching about it and paying attention to it. I will catch it if I'm being careless or if, God forbid, something beyond my help happens to me (I hate saying the 'R' word out loud). The majority of infections are passed on due to carelessness on our part. Of course there are those who get infected without knowing like newborns or 'R' victims. Lakini wale wamezurura watapata na watalipa for their mzururo.

›› ketchup 27-May-2010, reply_300576
@cucu...I have the particular problem with your inclusion of the polythene bag in your..'educative' narrative...is it meant to scare us into abstainance..or to intimidate or just to stigmatize...

›› kedo 27-May-2010, reply_300577
(kwa) cucu, pole sana kwa yaliompata dadako mpendwa, na asannte kwa kutujulisha hayo yote umayataja, natumahi wenye sikio wamesikia na watabadilisha mienendo zao, mimi nikiwemo.
(kwa) JD, naona mwenzangu umeswahilika kweli, furaha yangu!

@jd, nawewe ni mzee mkali
@ coach, as shosh put it, the moment u get tht disease...u realize its not like any atha disease as u put it. visit one of the wards with such patients and see the suffering in them

›› couchpotato 27-May-2010, reply_300591
@Serikali & Cucu: For the record, I was seeing people die of Aids (not HIV) at KNH in the late 1980s. You probably don't know zilch about the condition compared to what I know.

My status does NOT concern you. And what do you mean it will be too late? Asumpta (assuming you have ever heard of her) has had HIV for the last 25 years. Half of the people who thought she would die are themselves now dead. Too late for what?

And saying "Aids is real" would have sounded very wise back in 1985. Today, even a nursery school kid knows about ABC. It is just like saying you need to breath to live. How intelligent is that?

I repeat. HIV is just like any other infection. Those who have it deserve our compassion and understanding. And to correct Frisson (who I presume is a gal), it is not necessarily out of carelessness. Power relations between males and females play a big part in its transmission (how does a hungry orphan gal, for example, say NO to a mdosi old man?)

Ushauri mwafaka huo... kwako couch.

@ couch... wacha upuzi .. if hiv is like any other infection then you should screw without protection . get jabs from whatever needles in the same frequency as you walk into a fast food and have the so called junk food !
its tuff luck if any of us is infected but lets not trivialise this virus ..
lets try and be healthy and lets know the results of our actions / lifestyles !

›› couchpotato 27-May-2010, reply_300628
@EE: I was trying to educate you. Saying HIV is the same as any other infection is NOT to say you go deliberately looking for it. Of course, you don't have to agree to my education. You have the right to stay a juvenile moron!

›› ELECTRIC EEL 27-May-2010, reply_300632
thats mis education. go hang!

›› ELECTRIC EEL 27-May-2010, reply_300635
and stop the bull s--- .. of miseducating listers .my friend take care of yourself .thats what @ cucu is trying to tell you who think they are intelligent than any1 else here ... ok mister?

@couch that is 10,000 bonga points go and reedem them right now, am also sick and tired of HIV/AIDS this or that, i know pretty much all i need to know to play safe and if someone is careless sleeping around and contracting aids in 2010, then what do we call you???an embicile if not foolish. People are busy dying of other diseases and all we pay attention to is AIDS, give me abreak.. thats one more reason i dont attend HIV/AIDS campaigns, i have attended so many since i was young...and people seem to know everything about AIDS..unlike heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, stroke..these all come up as a result of poor health manteinance.

Couch potato it will pain you once you realize you got it and it was not you sleeping around but your partner.... then it will cease to be any other disease. plus its death is painful due to what you go thru... disease after disease... to painful for me.

Weee dying of HIV is different coz it is a disease you could have easily avoided by closing your legs... its not the same as Diabetic or hypertension which are not transmitted. For me it is still wierd to have to die of HIV.

›› silent-diaries 10-Jul-2010, reply_336981
::: HIV/AIDS: Men don't die of AIDS, only women do! :::
IF THEY DNT DO AS THEY ARE TOLD!

In the 80s + 90s: YOU or YOUR well loved relative will be in a car accident or get malaria and get a blood transfussion; HIV! No ARVS...blah blah be buried in a polythene bag.

21st century: You keep youR pretty legs closed as someone says; marry a nice virgin guy/girl you met at the church, after a few years he/she has MPANGO wa KANDO and BANG! HIV...bla bla...there is actually ARVS that many people are taking in order to live a full life. Eating well, taking care of their families, willing to live.

IGNORANCE is a death sentence! It leads to alcoholism and drug use, violence within the family, idiotic pretences of a Kenyan not able to read SWAHILI. Come on! If you picked up a book or health magazine every now and then to see what is happening in the HIV/AIDS world; it would not kill YOU. But IGNORANCE WILL KILL YOU AND THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU IF THEY DON'T HAVE BRAINS OF THEIR OWN.
