One Francis Atwoli once said that in Africa only Raila Amollo Odinga commands a suicidal following.
Baba might not have won the presidency but his base of followers incessantly remains unshaken.
In a clip shared across social media platforms, a young dreadlocked man (we’ll call him Railamaniac) is seen threatening to beat up to a pulp a gentleman (we’ll call him Railaphobic) in front of his Babe at a chips joint in Nairobi for badmouthing the enigma.
And to echo Atwoli’s word of suicidal support, the oppressor, Railamaniac, is heard telling the oppressed man-with-Babes: “Siogopi kudeady bro, achana na Raila Odinga wewe.”
The confrontation which lasted for a minute left other customers gobsmacked, perhaps sharing the Rasta man’s pain or siding, in silence of course, with the man whose dental formula was one Raila mention away from being reorganized.
May you find someone who defends you ala Baba’s diehards.
