This generation are the first to drop out of school and many have not attended college or university. There behaviour leaves alot to be desired. Many of their parents who struggled to get this kids a better life away from kenya are now regretting why they did so.
A good example of such kids is one Bamboo, the famous rapper who was born in the USA, but his behaviour was to much that his parents had to send him back to kenya to get a lesson or two on what life is like. Thank God he is now back to the USA and alittle bit reformed. Many families are doing the same to their kids.
One mashada chic who is well known for her BIG MOUTH was also send back to kenya (kwanza in the village)to learn a thing or two about life. Let her drink MURSIK in the village instead of fresh packed milk from USA ndio haelewe maisha ni magumu.
PS: am not saying that all born and bred abroad are wicked but majority are. Open yr eyes and tell me if i am wrong.

I think this is crap, it all boils down to character and the principles your parents have passed down to you, when bringing you up.
There problem with black people, especially Africans is that we fail to realise that the world has evolved and we no longer have a common cause.Just because we are all vulnerable to prejedice, discrimination etc etc, does not mean that we have the same frame of refrerance with regards to certain issues about life.
My point is, just because you had it tough , bundu bashing is some small village, does not guarantee that if you subject your child to a similar life style, that is a sure formular for ensuring that they turn out to be responsible adults.
I always have the same argument with my fellow black people back here in SA.I am one of those kids that never experienced poverty.Nothing was hard about my life.I went to a private school, I got myself a couple of good degrees, my first two cars were bought for me by my parents, I have always been labelled as " so and so's child", but I hold a good strategy position at a leading financial insititution, live a very good life, and I will probably give my kids a similar life too.
Simple, hardships dont guarantee success, and so is good parenting.But yes, good parenting (regardless of where it is done in the world) does influence the choices your child will make one day as an adult.
