The Layalty Pledge

[mpoipoi]

bet everyone used to say this in primary!
halafu mume geuka inchi?

I pledge my loyalty to the president and the nation of Kenya
My rediness and duty to defend the flag of our republic
My devotion to the words of the national Anthem
My Life and strength in the Harambee task of our national building
My service to the course of Peace love and Unity
In the living spirit embodied our National Motto harambee nyayo.


namuli kunywa maziwa ya nyayo under oath!






The choices we make dictates the kinda life we lead

I was never able to recite the whole thing by myself and only fumbled along with the crowd.

It's amazing you still remember that!

[mpoipoi]

Trust me...english was too hard let alone memorizing the short verses....I would mumble and fumble then when everyone said "Harambee...nyayo"...thats when you heard my voice come out distinctly!

[Joe]

There you go, that makes two of us! I'm sure there are milions just like us out there!

I have never been a fan of these types of statements as they seem like a type of mental programming to me. I have my own mind and I have my own ideas. There is a lot wrong with my county and it will only be by right action and strong willed people that we correct it. You know many other nations look down upon us because of our many problems. Most if not all of those problems we have brought on ourselves by allowing idiots to dictate policy. This should change and perhaps with the internet it will be easier for us to corrspond and share ideas and information.
No I am not a terrorist, I have much national pride, but I am tired of those in power making the same mistakes that cause the rest of the world to look down on us. If you can't do better then get out and let someone with fresh ideas give it a try. Its a new world order and some of use want to be part of it.

I have never learnt to say that loyalty pledge until now. Thanks God we don't have to take exams of the pledge and national anthem to be Kenyan Citizens because not only me but most Kenyan would not be Kenyans.Au sio wakenya this stuff was only known by scouts and girlguide lol

[luicer]

I thought I was alone. It always made me just talk unknown jargon! I think I must cram and shove that stuff to avoid shame in public!

[lynkez]

You caught me right here! I in fact recited it wholly but never bothered to comprehend the message in it. I only knew it as a school rule for Monday and Friday with other public holidays; unless I go and remind myself over this again. In fact it is an oath of loyalty to the nation yet we are not.

How you remind of the beautiful days I had in primary school as a scout. I really enjoyed all the scout trips the school organized and I as well learnt of the scouts’ motto alongside the loyalty pledge. Above all, I was able to recite the loyalty pledge when I was in standard seven after being trained right from class four. I wonder how many of us keep to the loyalty pledge.

Fear sprang in me, especially when the teacher on duty stood next to me, I feared he /she might overhear me utter whatever words that came from my lips. I came to learn it gradually, it was all fun.
