Technology, the one thing that leaves both my grandmother’s and my mouth aghast, but in very different ways. While am wondering how the Cicret Bracelet works, she wonders why my phone has no keypad.
Kubash, the one thing that would have left my mouth aghast after clearing high school back then, “Who in their right mind goes to some Christian party for a leavers bash?” I would have thought.
Back then, clubs like F2, Pink Elephant, Ibiza and the newly opened Roast House would be the talk from the foul smell from our mouths, probably from the famous Napoleon Brandy aka Naps. And who didn’t have a phone then? Who didn’t hijack their mother’s phone for hours? Who was not in Ongea Tarriff? Who lacked 350sh for booze?
We would talk or rather boast of the chics we have screwed in the short time we had after clearing high school, we would boast of our maestro in gurgling brew and some would pull up their sleeves to show off their tattoos. We would then start analyzing girls’ bums in the club saying of how ‘shadow’ they were to those that we have screwed.
Kenyan Local, Hip Hop and RnB was the thing and Dance hall was mushrooming in the fresh young music industry. We would chew miraa like goats, not because you love it, but because you want to have a name among your pals. The effect was to stay hungry for the next three days as the porcupines that were divorcing in your tongue have started healing off their rough relationship.
Someone would ask me what that has to do with Kubash. There’s much energy amongst the high school leavers. This energy is a conflicting force that wants to balance the worldly and one’s person self-actualization and realization. In my own personal experience, I felt like a caged bird whose wings have never flapped in life and I have been released to the wild for the first time.
I wandered in these forces as I nodded my head towards Juacali’s lines of ‘Ndoto za maji zinanisumbua!’ and Kenrazy’s ‘Tichi’and ‘Rudia’ The sad thing was that by the time I realized that, I had wasted a lot of time in places that didn’t build me, others had built their lives, worked their goals and had really improved in their self discipline.
Kubash is a youth thingy. (I decided to sound like a Nairobi chic. The times you lack words to describe something because of how amazing it is) Kubash is a Christian party for the guys who just left form 4. It’s a platform that the high school leavers get to interact with people whom we can call mentors in Christ. It’s a place where they come to have fun the Christian Way. (Phew! that was hard to explain)
If Kubash was there doing my time, then I guess porcupines would not have had courtship in my tongue. If Kubash was there during my time, then I guess I could be drinking more of what builds me rather than the smelly Naps. If Kubash was there during my time, then I could be singing, ‘Ndoto za maji ya uzima zinaniinua’ If Kubash was there at my time, I can only imagine how many souls I could have reached now. I can only imagine where I would have been with my talents.
The Kubamba Trust is undoubtedly the biggest youth ministry in Africa reaching the youth as early as they are in High School, to Campus (through TG – This Generation) to their workplaces (through Inuka) and even after working you can become the sponsor and help reach more ;). The Kubash party, is the start of everything. The youth just don’t come have fun the Christian way for a day and then go astray! There’s more to where that came from.
The youth can join Kkrew Fellowship at Kkrewbs.com where I would just write all Shakespeare’s works explaining.
Sponsored by Coca-Cola, Kubash will be happening at City Hall Way as from 1pm to 6pm with an entry fee of 200bob. Guys, they say friends don’t let other friends die without knowing Jesus. I enforce, Christians don’t let any human die without knowing Christ.
You know of that form 4 youngster? Tell him/her about Kubash. I wouldn’t want anyone to have porcupines screw their tongues. I would love them to know Jesus. I would want them to know the light. I would want them to know the way and that’s why I wrote this post. Share with them and let them know of Kubash.
See you at Kubash. Tweet, share, upload poster. Let us reach our youth. Hashtags #Kubash #KubashnaCocacola #NinaPotential
