Well the population voted for him (Kibaki) the first time, no? Also what makes you think the new elected leader (Odinga) is any better? If he turns out to be just another African despot (as the odds suggest) what would you say then? Ultimately we have to blame the population.
The Truth,
Understand what people are fighting for in Kenya is a system that
works...a system that is free of manipulation as is the case right now.
You are right that people voted Kibaki in 02 lakini jamaa
hakudeliver and this time around wakataka a different individual...Raila Odinga.
Kama Raila hatoweza, atapigiwa kura mtu mwengine.Thats what its about.
The population(read majority) did not vote for Kibaki na kwa hivyo they cannot
be blamed.The guy eho manipulated the system for whatever reasons,
bears the responsibility of whatever the
outcome of this debacle.
Chukua mfano wa Zimbabwe.If Mugabe claims victory by saying he won in a free and a fair election itakuaje?Are we going to blame the people therein?Ndugu yangu in Africa the political systems dont work as they are supposed to and even if they do, they are open to blatant manipulation.Hii biashara ya kusema..."aah bwana sisi wabongo/waafrika ndivyo tulivyo" needs to be looked at again.Thats my word.
Asanteni.
It's interesting you mention Mugabe. Didn't the population support him initially when he started land re-distribution? Didn't the population see that would be disastrous in the end? Why do Africans keep electing bad leaders over and over again? Why are Africans so easily manipulated by these bad leaders?
The answers to the above questions lie in the fundamental truth that Africans have a low average IQ that make all the above possible. There is simply no other explanation anyone can come up with.
But America didn't start off their democracy in the same way Kenya has. George Washington willingly gave up power, and so did all of his immediate successors. There has been no civil unrest after any American presidential election as far as I know. So what is the difference between Kenyans and Americans?
Yes there is: Ours (Africa) are fledling democracies...
It is more than that otherwise the same pattern we see in Africa would have been seen across all democracies in the world. See my previous post about America for example. There must be something about Africans that facilitate this mess....what is it? Low average IQ is the only explanation.

....May be its in our Genes....It is more than that.... what is it? Low average IQ is the only explanation.
It's premature to say that it is the low IQ average that's causing the mess. I'm not prepared to say that yet. We are going through some growing pains right now. Give it time and things will eventually come together.

Nakubali kabisa na mtazamo wako Bw Nyani Ngabu.
There is more to this mess than saying a low average IQ by
Africans causes them to vote for our kind of leaders.
There are more underlying factors that pertain to young
democracies!
....May be its in our Genes....
Africans have had plenty of time to get their act together. This is more than growing pains. It is something else.
All functioning democracies (e.g. America, India, Western Europe) were once young yet the population never did what Africans have been doing. Maybe you can point out those underlying factors you are referring to. What are they?
There was some scientific research done that arrived to that very conclusion about Africans. That is Africans have lost out in the genetic lottery. Since IQ score is largely genetic based, that research makes a lot of sense when it comes to Africans.
You'd be an inherently pudden-head being to believe that IQ is some kinda lottery from outer space where some have been blessedly showered with and some sprinkled. Your argument on IQ is a dazed one and nothing short of bigot due to cultural difference, reality cecity and likely circumstantial wealth.
I wonder if you could stand a chance if me and you stood before a university challenge match to explain what IQ is. Your fraught and dodgy over-glorified pursue to evident the demeaning of other races is repugnant and self-demeaning.
What do you consider plenty of time?
No, you have it the other way around. Cultural difference, wealth etc. are more influenced by IQ and not vice versa. Your IQ is pretty much set at birth i.e. you have won the genetic lottery or you have lost. Any other efforts simply parents take to cultivate their kids intellect simply build on what is already there.
I am simply the messenger so I would appreciate if you don't kill me. You may hate the message I deliver when it comes IQ of Africans but I am not to blame. I am not responsible for IQ scores in Africa. Perhaps you would rather I not bring it up at all...but that would be like ignoring a pink elephant sitting in your living room.
