OBAMA TOUR TO KENYA

We have learnt many lessons from OBAMA tour to our motherland, Kenya. Thanks to my family I have heard an easy Sunday.

Here are the 20 most memorable quotes in
Obama’s speech

On Corruption

1. There is no country that is completely free
from corruption. The fact is, too often here in
Kenya, corruption is tolerated because that's
how it's always been done.

2. Fighting corruption is not just about
changing laws. Ordinary people have to stand
up and say enough is enough.

3. Corruption continues to deny many Kenyans
jobs. Every shilling paid as a bribe could be
paid to someone who is doing an honest
day's work

On Terrorism

4. We honor the memory of every Kenyan who
has lost a life in the fight against terrorism.

5. We are greatful of the progress of AMISOM
and the US faces similar threats of terrorism as Kenya

6. Violent extremists want to turn people
against each other. The terrorists know that
they a minority that cannot win.

On Women and girl empowerment

7. Around the world, there is a tradition of
oppressing women. Just because something
is a tradition does not make it right

8. Treating girls and women as second class citizens is a bad tradition, it holds you back

9. Communities that give their daughters the
same chances as their sons prosper

10. Any nation that fails to educate girls is
doomed to lag behind in the global economy
On Youth and development

11. It is the young people who must take the
lead.

12. We are connecting young people full of ideas
who are not weighed down by ideas from the
past.

13. You don't need to look overseas to realize
your dreams

14. I like the phrase "Yes Youth Can"
On National Unity

15. We are all part of one tribe, the human tribe

16. We do not inherit the earth from our
ancestors; we borrow it from our children

17. Progress requires that we honestly confront
the dark corners of our past

18. Whatever the challenge, you will be stronger
if you face it as Kenyans He signed off with two very heartwarming
statements;

19.Thirty years ago when I first came to
Kenya you made me feel at home.....you still
make me feel at home."

20 . I am proud to be the first Kenyan to be
president of the United States
