Friends, How much of our African knowledge is expressed on the Internet? Recently I shared the below with ICANN colleagues:- Agikuyu sayi, “Mundu utari nguku ona imwe ndagiriiruo ni gutuithia ciira wa nguku.” Loosely translated, “A person who does not have even a single hen is not supposed to be elevated to adjudicate over matters poultry/disputes. If more contextually put, a parent is wiser if entrusts their child to the care of another parent than to an individual who does not have a child -- thus lack the full experience of having and raising a child. Is is not common knowledge that kids are such bundles of joy? ;-) Should the child under their watch falter or err, such an individual is likely to impulsively meter out terribly harsh punishments – unlike a fellow parent whom would otherwise hesitate before taking such drastic punitive actions. And today, "Kamuingi koyaga ndiri." - which reminds us of the possitive collective contribution to achieve success, as opposed to individualistic extemism.. Share your cultural knowledge online. So much for cultural cross pollination in one day. Have a good day. Alex
