@Itz_zayyad1 Asked my dr this after it happened to a relative. She said it’s because people don’t get their physicals and bloodwork done annually like we should.

@MaryK2022 You can’t tell me to take herbs when you’re not telling me what is in it, the concentration and its working mechanism. Surely you can’t despise modern medicine. Society improves its craft as it goes along. Also, not everything is treatable, there are incurable diseases.

@misskanake Hospital is good for diagnostics But given the right parameters The body heals Compromised immunes need to be checked Defficiencies also play a big role in ailments

@MaryK2022 This is what I saw at the Coast, and people were dying from very minor ailments cos they don’t want to take medicine or see herbalists as first line. Malaria, typhoid, dengue fever, dehydration need prompt medical intervention.

@misskanake @T_kimaru @Nyokaffiii Lmao. Nikama hauko hapa kugain anything in your head to enrich your perspective. Uko hapa kuargue for the sake of argument. I'm not gonna argue witchu😂. Wacha niende nikawaste time na Kdrama. It's more productive than this. History can never be 'tired'. Intellectual laziness.

@misskanake @T_kimaru @Nyokaffiii Because it ignores the history madam.And the particular regional history of the South. Small small digging will have you at WNLA, SA's liberation movement sheltered by those same migrants and post 1994, kwani they only recognise when it's inconvenient? A whole century of growth

@misskanake @T_kimaru @Nyokaffiii A clear evidence of this is the 7 up South Africa Documentary. This happened before the migration. Those kids trajectories were already locked in by apartheid's inheritance. It's tragic to even watch it. Before the migrants who are being attacked came in, there was a ceiling

@_vee_k @T_kimaru @Nyokaffiii But many of them are there taking the little that is left No? They have taken the last economic space for the locals. You need to go visit then you’ll understand.

@misskanake @T_kimaru @Nyokaffiii How are the apartheid and immigration connected to xenophobia? Because I would think Apartheid was internal ? Like the connections are there indirectly but the biggest opp is unequal wealth distribution post apartheid. Isn't it a contradiction to attack the migrants ?

In the city you will give a stranger cash without blinking. You will tip a waiter you will never see again. You will donate to a GoFundMe for someone you met twice. But give an old man or woman in the village a Sh100 note directly into their hand? Absolutely not. Your aunties will materialize from nowhere. Lower their voices. Pull you aside. Warn you with the seriousness of people briefing a soldier before battle. Do not give them cash directly. Buy what they want but never give them cash. The old man or woman is just standing there wanting to buy tea. But according to village risk assessment he is also potentially a conduit for forces that will follow your money back to Nairobi and ensure your job, your relationship and your car all develop mysterious problems by Tuesday. Now here is the honest question nobody wants to answer out loud. Is this genuine cultural wisdom passed down through generations of observed experience? Or have we collectively decided that old poor people in villages are suspicious simply because they are old and poor? Because the same energy is never applied to a wealthy elder. Nobody warns you about giving cash to a rich uncle. Funny how the witchcraft risk seems to increase the poorer the person is. Drop your honest thoughts below. Dismas wa Tabu. Dreaming in installments. Billed in full.

@DismasWaTabu I have told you there are isolated incidents but 99% of mountain people don’t practice witchcraft, excluding the Embu/Mbeere and Kambiti residents. We don’t have night runners, the evil eye and the like, never seen, never heard it mentioned.

@DismasWaTabu In the mountains, they accepted Christianity very early, so we shed off most of our bad habits.

@T_kimaru @Nyokaffiii Am not, am Kenyan, but I’ve been to SA. What’s happened there isn’t the usual immigration but more like mob migration at all levels. To get the full context, you need to visit the apartheid museum.
