Hi Jeff, thank u for bringing us this young blood hero!! I have teared up just listening to him and as Kenyans we should appreciate their struggles for uhuru.
Perhaps one of the best interviews you've done. How our leaders can absorb the message from Gitu wa Kahengeri. I'm sure mau mau fighters feel so much pain seeing the reckless remarks of the current leaders. The bled for the nation only for selfish and corrupt leaders to burn the country and run resources down the drain.
The single best Maumau conversation ever heard by a patriotic, eloquent son of the soil. Gitu is an iconic freedom fighter that merits recognition by all intents and purposes. I wish Jomo Kenyatta senior was alive to witness this momentous conversation then comment-Big shame that such gallant sons of Kenya were not awarded for their sacrifice.
Much love, much honor to Mzee Kahengeri and his comrades. It's a pity that the British abused and raped our economy and resources, yet they won't accept to take full responsibility. At 99, Gitu is still sharp, eloquent, and going strong - incredible! The struggle continues. VIVA Kenya! ✊
Since I started researching Mau Mau as a teen, I have always been very interested in knowing more about Gitu wa Kihengeri. It is great to find that he's a man of such depth. I am very impressed, by only observing him have a conversation 'in the wild'.
It was not until the Mzee mentioned his Father. Indeed they were ready for anything to save and liberate this country. God bless him for me. May the soulof the departed ones rest in perfect paradise.
Great men these freedom fighters. My late father father l loved was also imprisoned by the British and he saffeted of leg pains till death where he was beaten. He couldn't go to the near Kambi to be with his agemates at his last year's. His name was Njau Njoroge of Kiambuu Githinguri location Nyaga village. God rest his Soul in Peace . Koma I thayu inywi muthiite mukoima thi ino
First hand information, no need to go out there and google only to find wrong information. Very well narrated. Now we know what our ancestors went through in the hands of colonialists.
Mzee Gitu is blessed and a great reward awaits him and others in Heaven whether the govt and people of kenya recognize, compensate all mau mau freedom fighters or not.
"This was designed purposely to hurt us, because when when I wake up in the morning and turn to my right I find my father, when he turn to his left he see his son.."That's deeeeep! Indeed a national treasure to be treasured througout the ages
The body language speaks it all "Taking Orders? From who?" Taking orders No! Orders No! We believe in negotiation. If you think you have something good to tell me, just tell me...if I want to accommodate that I will accommodate it, because I cannot refuse reasonable suggestions. I am a reasonable person." 🔥💯
Wisdom oozing out of longevity and experiential learning by a 99 year old Kenyan patriot!President Ruto,and Vice President Gachagua SHOULD move quickly to create a fund to support the remaining bonafide Mau Mau like Gitu Wa Kahengeri. Quickly start as an urgency and emergency, with a seven digit monthly pay,a comprehensive Medical care for at least the veterans and their spouses,and housing facilities. History will not absolve Kenya.History is crying out.
Thank u Mzee Githu. This is the real freedom fighter of the liberation movement. But JK I did not hear you ask mzee the most pertinent question on the minds of many Kenyans. And that is: Did he see the fathers of Gachawa and Nyoro in any camp? We Kenyans want to know whether these two cheats are worthy the word which comes out of their mouths?😅😅
United States of Africa is what needs to happen. We must unite Africa as one not Kenya alone. Power to the people one Africa one African bank one currency one military. United States of Africa should have happened in 1963. What are we waiting for.
Thank your God that you are just a fish lover and not a president in an African country. Gaddafi talked the stuff you've pulled here - look what they did to him. No African president would dare 'talk in that direction'. He'd risk being 'offed'.
Our Government has refused to speak for us.(25.10). The colonials still do not understand the struggle. Ruto is dancing to the music of the Imperialist today.
There's something about his english, how polished it sounds...... I wonder if Dedan Kimathi lived upto date he'd sound this polished and eloquent? But what do I know? 🤷♂️
You are right Koome Kathuri KK that "Kimathi was in the bush fighting." But it is not clear who this one was or what he went to do in UK. He speaks English in purely Briton accent & that's quite strange! Who knows what he went to do in UK 🤔
Inspirational, though should have been done in Swahili to show we are proud of our language and where we have come from. Koinange with the forced English gives uncle Tom vibes.
Kenyatta was the worst thing that ever happened to maumau ... raila's father humbleness was a fatal humbleness to him and to maumau and 90% of Kenyans . He shouldnt share same title with nyerere as founding father of the nation .he should be called the founding father of tribalism!!
You need to know where you come from before you understand where you heading too. Stop being small minded person, and if you have to, then you'll continue to lead a very sad life.
