2008 NYU commencement (13/37) -- Ngugi Wa Thiongo degree

[mirithu1]

It is easy for people to say that Ngugi is a tribalist. They forget that he suffered under Kenyatta government just as he did under Moi. Ngugi is the real Kenyan. His books have really changed me.

OMG I can't believe it; it's the great man himself. The King of letters!

(13/37) haha! :D

[gazawire]

Prof. Ngugi is not tribalistic; he's only identifying with his culture.

[tamaduni]

i dont mind that he would like to preserve his kikuyu culture but his Africaness should came b4 everything else

[jamigori]

With all the knowledge he has, still his tribalistic nature is still intact within him!

[wamwene]

YES THAT IS WHAT REAL KENYANS ARE
