Raila really did us all a favour by demanding he be buried in 72 hours. He knew. Imagine this for a month. And believe me, it would have remained this way for a month. Chuny piny.

No politician in Kenya’s history has ever been loved the way Raila Odinga has been. Not out of fear, not out of handouts, but pure, unwavering love. Mgala muue na haki yake mpe. You can disagree with his politics, but you can’t deny the bond he shared with his people!

I now believe that Raila never actually lost any election.

We seen Kenyan leaders die. Kenyatta, Moi, Kibaki and even Jaramogi. None of these deaths resulted in the outbreak of emotion we are seeing with Raila. None of them had his clout. Or commanded his following.

Grief is disorganised. It doesn’t follow rules or schedules, and it certainly has no decorum, more so when mourning someone like Raila Amolo Odinga. You tell people to do it this way or that way, but what about their way? This is what grief looks like when the loss is this big.

I have never been a fan of Raila. But. That crowd today is intoxicating. At any point since 2007, he could have marched to state house with a tenth of that crowd and become the President. The self-restraint and discipline to choose not to speaks volume of him as a person.

The Late Raila hoped to make it after treatment.

He wasn’t the People’s President, he was the first and last constitutional monarch of Kenya under whom Presidents served.

Speeches of Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto are day and night. Uhuru knows how to naturally connect with the crowd unlike Ruto who came in with a lecture. Uhuru’s Aura is not forced and you can genuinely tell who was the true friend of Raila Odinga.

Whenever Uhuru shows up, Ruto reverts to being the deputy president.

This is an old video! I vividly remember when it came out. He’d been away from the public eye for a while and people were getting worried. I specifically remember the sigh of relief my dad breathed when he saw it. 😂 Man! We really loved Baba🥹

The journalists of our country have done justice to the nation’s greatest news item, for decades!

The amount of TV we've watched from Wednesday is more than we did the rest of the year....

Thank you The Standard Digital for this Absolutely Beautiful Souvenir Edition in Loving Memory of Baba.🙏🏾❤️ I will keep this in pristine condition for the future generation.

Mashujaa day without our Political Shujaa. But, our Shujaa, always.

He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? — Romans 8:32 How can He withhold lesser providences if He gave the greatest of all providences? #SDG

RAILA ODINGA was married for 52 years. One woman. One covenant. No scandals. No side hens. No side chicks. No secret children. No divorces. He had money. He had power. He had fame. But he had discipline. He was a man completely immersed with a firm focus, and too busy building

Raila Amolo Odinga, C.G.H.

This is more witchcraft than it is Christianity!!
