Why Are Kenyans Their Own Greatest Haters And Detractors?

I will never fully grasp the Kenyan peculiarities. I guess you have to be fully Kenyan to understand them. Be that as it may, it’s time to dissect an endemic problem that plagues Kenya’s entertainment scene: haters.

There is no weaker emotion than fear. But the next weakest emotion would be envy. And from the looks of it, Kenyans have it in the bucket loads. I am sick and tired of hearing Kenyans say they don’t listen to local music because it sucks. They talk as though the South Africans and better still, we Nigerians begun on top. You have to support your own! Build your own. And nothing works better than positivity. The negativity sucks the life and joy out of everything.

Then there is the lot that hate simply because they lack the spine to do something real and tangible. I recently said that Mista Majani is the Mark Zuckerberg of Africa. I didn’t even give him the lofty billing, i merely use the comparison. But whenever i say this alot of people catch feelings. Don’t! Do something or take a seat. All the hate and vitriol is useless if you have nothing to show for it. Just take a seat! The whole couch if you must but be seated! Why do Kenyans enjoy hating on people doing their own thing? Get behind me Satan!

And let’s not forget the lot that hates merely because they are angry. I don’t know why they are angry, i’m not paid to play the shrink so i don’t care. This lot always gets on the comment section to try to beat down the team. Some take it a step further and put entries into their blogs. Granted, they trend. But we trend so much we don’t even keep count so take a seat! Build! Don’t keep trying to destroy! All that does is tell me that you are beneath me and you want me at your level!

This lad can relate. Haters gonna hate!

But all isn’t lost. There are the folk that are supportive even in their criticism. This is the lot i keep paying homage to. The Denis Imayas and the Anthony Sserwaddas. The type to build. That is the only way Kenya will grow.

Stop hating on your actors and your entertainers. Giving props to Nigerian and South African and even Tanzanian artists like i need your help to say that Nigeria is the best nation in Africa in terms of entertainment. Take a seat hater!

I’m done ranting!
