Wewe ishi na ugali pekee. Kula ugali, mboga pia ni ugali. Uweke gari ugali. Ukipeleka mtoto shule, lipa na ugali. Ukishikwa na ugonjwa, kimbia kisiagi utibiwe na ugali na uandikiwe ugali ukunywe. Urudi kwa nyumba yako ya ugali na uweke tokens za ugali. Sadaka pia utoe ugali 😊

Belief in supernatural beings, assuming they have control over everything whilst dreaming of some afterlife utopia. Humans, we are the ones we've been waiting for to solve our problems some of which are man-made. We can & should strive to improve our quality of life on earth.
Also: using heaven as escapism - why fix joblesslessness, healthcare, poverty when heaven is full of richness? There are churches whose entire doctrine is rapture and eschatology If you listen to Shakahola survivors, you'll hear it - they were fast tracking going to heaven

I'm in a matatu listening to gospel music and noticing it's a theology based on praying for social issues, which the govt can easily solve - jobs, healthcare, orphans etc Maybe this is the fundamental shift that we need - it's govt not God to fix these issues But

You would think - community, right? Majority attendance in African churches is also for community But also people band together to navigate economic and social issues together - shared economic structures, social norms & accountability, safety and defense. These would change too

But can our churches reframe this theology when it would threaten their very existence? If there are jobs, healthcare, upward mobility, support for vulnerable groups from the state, why would people still go to church?

I’ve always considered honey one of nature’s finest gifts to man; our own version of ambrosia. There’s something divine about it, something eternal. The fact that it doesn’t spoil, that it defies time itself, is what sets it apart. Archaeologists have found pots of honey in

The same way youths must join politics (as politicians, intellectuals, strategists) is the same way we should join the church. We shouldn’t abandon institutions that have and will always shape power. And we must be in the markets as well. To withdraw from any of these is to
