Following the release of the crazily popular poetic song dubbed 'Wajinga Nyinyi' by Kenyan rap musician King Kaka three days ago, the drum beats calling for a political revolution in Kenya have never been louder as they are at the moment.

The majority of the country's deprived citizenry has conspicuously united under the 3-day-old song widely agreeing that Kaka's hit single indeed awoke them from the deep slumber that has seen them shortchanged by the corrupt political elite who continues to defile the motherland with unprecedented impunity.

As a result, many, especially on social media, are in agreement that there is an urgent need to jump into action and uproot the entire political system which is rotten to the core with malignant corruption, vague leadership, mediocrity just to mention but a few.

Put in another way, majority of the Kenyans who have rallied behind the 'Wajinga Nyinyi' opine that Kenya is yellow-ripe for a political revolution synonymous to the 2011/2 Arab spring or like the one that took place in Sudan early this year.

But as they say, it is easier said than done. Chanting 'Revolution Now!' as a result of mass hysteria while one is enjoying the warmth and comfort of their king-size beds is completely different whole affair from walking the talk in the streets, villages or even in the jungle if need be.

That said, can Kenya really have a political revolution at the moment or in the near future? The answer is damn No! Here is why.

1. Kenyans are political lazybones better in loquacious talk than solid action

The too much revolutionary talk you find spilt all over social media by the majority of us is simply idle talk that can never go beyond the internet. Majority of those chanting 'revolution now' day in, day out, are the kind that cannot even withstand firewood smoke leave alone teargas. Revolution there will be, but on social media like it can bring any meaningful change. Expecting anything beyond that is just being recklessly overzealous!

2. Kenyans will always read politics in anything and everything

I need not say that King Kaka is already being bashed by a section of Kenyans who believe his 'Wajinga Nyinyi' song is a launching pad for his own political ambitions while others say it was paid for by some high-end politicians to discredit their rivals.

With such kind of notions occupying the minds of a sizeable population, effecting a revolution against a strong well-supplied regime can be a tall order.

3. Kenyans are forgetful fools

After all manner of things have been said about the 'impending' and 'unstoppable' political revolution, everybody will forget about it and go back to minding their own businesses. Or why do you think many agree with King Kaka that we are indeed 'Wajinga Nyinyi?'
