Friend-a-street-kid

Whenever I hear this series of ads about gorillas, yeah, those that are running on our radio stations every after 3 songs, I get pissed like Nsaba Buturo after watching Big Brother!! This forces the Minister of Ethics to call a press conference and urge the banning of that reality TV show, and also for the banning of all miniskirts, mbu they are the leading cause of accidents, since we the ever-horny male species shall always stare at them with so much attention that we really don’t give a shit if that Mercedes ML we have just borrowed crashes into that street light!

The bugger in all this ranting, easily forgets to put in the slightest mention of the thieving KCC officials and Ministry of Works lumpens that always forget to fix that pot hole that we be dodging as we hit yet another un-suspecting boda boda chap. If I was the minister of ethics, I would also call for the ban of these gorilla ads that are being sponsored by the US government! They go thus;

“This is the goriila moment, brought to you by friend-a-gorilla campaign – did u know that the mother gorilla makes the bed for the family before they go to sleep, and the family shares a meal of tree leaves and branches………………save gorillas!!!”

Like we give a shit!!!

I want to hear that campaign of “Friend-a-street-kid”, we shall be hearing shit like; “Did u know that a street kid eats one meal a day, and earns his money by begging for coins outside steers and the Jinja Road traffic lights……..save a street kid today!!”

Whats with these gorillas anyway? Its not like every once a month they come out of hiding from the Bwindi impenetrable forest and clean the roads and rid all the dumping sites of garbage!! It’s not like every month they send 5 percent of their monthly income, equivalent in bananas, to NSSF!!! Or 10% of the timber income they earn as PAYE!! Its not like they own the forests and do deals with government and pay corporation tax!!! So whats all this fuss about??

I know, white people love to look at them!!

They be there in their highways and skyscrapers and really miss the real natural world, the one we Africans are having a total blast in, before investors take all the forests for factories! They be wanting to see gorillas and natural forests, so now they are sending money so we save the gorillas for them , while our bu street kids languish in the cold!

If u haven’t noticed yet, I am actually still looking for the point of this rant, the moral of the story, the killer punch that puts the plot to rest, but wapi!!! Never to know why am beefing with the silverbacks, and for that matter, am outta here!!
