I LOVE my Friends – I FORGIVE my Enemies – I MOVE ON

Nixon Issangya died. In December 2016 he celebrated his birthday. On January 8th Nixon Issangya was murdered. They robbed his new computer and his motorbike. And they took a wonderful human being from this world.

I decide to keep his website here as a memory. I discovered unpublished sections. These quotes show his thoughts and emotions, his faith and experience in life. And his gratefulness. With tears in my eyes I publish this post now. I tried to support Nixon on Johntext – but did I do enough for him and his mission? Hopefully his thoughts and books are motivation for other writers and believers who go through hard times. I did not correct what Nixon wrote – out of respect for his style. Nixon Issangya survives in his books.

EDUCATION

I was born and brought up in my African village. We had no papers and pens in our poorly built muddy walls and thatched roof hut. Both, my father and my mother never went to school.

However, I was educated before I went to school. Oral education was first, from home. My grandmother was a story-teller. Our elders were our first teachers, in life.

Oral education: was solid foundation to my education today. It was the way of life with many in Africa.

DARK CONTINENT..?

No! Not today…!
Those who claimed that Africa is ‘Dark Continent’ should come and see, and learn what Africa is all about.

WORLD of WRITERS

August 14th. 1980 – Still dark in, The Hague, The Netherlands: I woke up from my bed and picked up my pen and pieces of papers. Virtually, I emerged in the world of writers, as I started putting on paper: Chapters of my first book.

 

Our orphans are joyful as we keep on supporting them in in various villages of: AFRICA.

“September 11, 2001 – Stands vivid on my mind…!”

This particular day I happened to be far from my home in Africa. I was in Marshfield, Missouri, USA. While watching TV – I noticed LIVE while the Twin Towers fell to the ground in New York.

The September 11 attacks (also referred to as September 11, September 11th, or 9/11) were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamic terrorist group Al-Qaeda on the United States on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001. The attacks consisted of suicide attacks used to target symbolic U.S. landmarks.

Four passenger airliners—which all departed from airports on the U.S. East Coast bound for California—were hijacked by 19 Al-Qaeda terrorists to be flown into buildings. Two of the planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, were crashed into the North and South towers, respectively, of the World Trade Center complex in New York City

Meanwhile, my mind flashed back to my African village, where life is slow-paced. The village where friends from abroad enjoy  the structure of life.

An account is narrated in some chapters of my books: Tell The Nations and Africa To America.

“IN GOD WE TRUST” The statement on: American dollar encouraged me to visit USA – However, as I landed there I was stunned by the news of TV “….Man has been gunned down in New York, today…!” Meanwhile, my mind flashed back home to my African village where I grew up with no “Guns and gangs”
Before we say “WE WANT TO MAKE THE WORLD THE BETTER PLACE” We should tell people to be “THE BETTER PEOPLE FIRST”
Be aware politicians – Religious leaders – And persons in general: If you fool people today, you will get them: But when they find out tomorrow, they will leave you.



Africa To America: One of my books, is the book I worked on while in Africa, Europe, and The States.
I wrote through experiences while encountering Western cultures. Nothing like my slow-paced lifestyle in my African village culture.

Prologue: Chapter of one of my touching books – AFRICA TO AMERICA – The book born out of my experiences and encounters I faced while in The States, several years on countless occasions.

PROLOGUE

TAKE ME HOME…!

Nostalgia ­ blanketed me as I sensed outside pressure from a strange world ­ The  world with nothing in common with that of mine.

As I walked and drove in those streets of Hollywood; I missed home at the point of  admiring someone to yell behind me “Jia…Usaare.” I was homesick in Hollywood. I  was eager to hear my mother tongue (Kimeru) dialect. As they shouted and I heard of  their America slang: I missed sounds of my official language Swahili. I longed for  sounds like “Jambo…Habari yako….”

Apart from missing home, I was stunned with America. America shocked me with  what I witnessed onto the streets, and what I viewed on the television. On Sunset  Street, in Hollywood I recall witnessing to a nude person on the queue of the bank.  The incident reminded me of a college student who decided to attend his classes with  no clothes on.    All these, caused me to sense the statement “Take me home….”

* * *

What I witnessed on Washington Blvd in, Los Angeles one afternoon will remain  vivid. Vehicles were driven as if they were flying. These were police under­-covers  chasing the criminals. There was no doubt that both sides should have been armed. I  couldn’t tell who was a criminal and who was a police. But I could step aside, then  watched.

While vehicles were driven at full speed on the streets; police helicopters enveloped  the air. I stood as I stared into the streets. I gazed while I lifted up my head. I could  scarcely comprehend such incredible scene.

Before I had an answer of what I was viewing; a black American lady amazed me  with her question “What’s going on?” “I don’t know!” I answered as I wondered. I was  stunned by what I was witnessing, and I was astonished by her question. “If an  American don’t know, how would I know?” I murmured to myself.

* * *

Such uprisings were the way of life, in most of the big cities of America. I recall  during my very first visit to The States, a man was shot in New York. The other time  as I landed at Chicago, a police was gunned down. On the news in America one could  watch chasing, shootings and killings, all day long.

But I kept hearing this typical American slogan repeatedly “The greatest nation on  earth:” It might be true. Here is the nation that is great in all aspects.

* * *

From Africa to America; was tantamount, to from one planet to another. I  encountered unlawful structure of life. This became my motto to eliminate my  admiration to westernization. Here is where I had herald of exodus. That enabled me  to acquire genesis to my new way of viewing things in a different eye.   The day came to pass, when I had to long for a prairie instead of a city. I was looking  forward when I was to see again, splendid savannah of Sakila: My serene village.

* * *

The book you are holding is a book concerning my practical experiences on the  other part of the planet.   However, this is your book…!
