As technology keeps on advancing, people are getting lazier by the day
and forgetting the values of hard work and sweat.We are turning to easy
money which comes through different means. In Majengo alone, more than
700 youths have lost their lives in a period of ten years due to easy
money. Many male youths in Majengo have chosen theft as their easy way
out. Its true that its easy money but what about the risks? What about
the sadness that you leave for your family when you head to meet your
maker? There are a lot of things to be considered by those who seek
easy money. Our girls are falling pregnant just because they want to get
easy money. Some are dying due to Aids and other un talked about
diseases in our community. At times people wonder if its a curse that
people of Majengo fail to wake up from!!
We have refused to work hard and now we are the ones losing our lives.
We die while committing horrible scenes in our streets. Each and every
life in Majengo has been affected in one way or another. You hear
people talking of how they lost their brother, husband, uncle and
others in this line of easy money. For sure no one cursed us. No one did
apart from ourselves. We have drawn all sorts of names for ourselves
from all parts of the world. We have become a big shame in the region.
We are mostly known for our negative side more than the positive one.
This is Majengo, a place like no other in the world. That's why its said that a person from Majengo can survive anywhere on earth. We are humans by nature but Lions by heart.
In order to change our community we need to change the Ideology that has
mentored into the brains of many among us. We say that there is no
work!!! Surely, this is insane. Our hard work is what will provide work.
We are a forgotten community in the face of the earth. No body cares if
you die or live, no body cares if you are breathing or not. If we can't
create employment then no9 one will create it for us. We are a nation
on its own. There is a lot of work in our community. But because of our
laziness, people from all walks of life in Kenya come to work in our
community. Lets not blame others for what we caused ourselves. We have
to work hard and struggle to get far.
