The Students Organization of Nairobi University (SONU) chairman Babu Owino is not known to shy away from the limelight or any sort of controversy. A bold and tenacious young man with the enthusiasm of a veteran political leader. Earlier on the wake of 13th of July, he drafted a letter to the office of the US embassy asking the institution to ensure President Obama visits the University of Nairobi and talk to the 80,000+ students. The US president is scheduled to visit Kenya later this month for an entrepreneurship conference.
Kenya’s largest university was once graced by President Obama in 2006 whilst he was the Senator of Illinois when he came to Kenya. Babu Owino stated in the letter that a couple of students had already threatened to take their lives if he (Obama) doesn’t visit UoN. The worlds most powerful man will have a very tight routine and schedule its unthinkable if he could actually make time for the students but the confidence at which Owino has written the letter with could move a mountain.
Upon hearing the news, Kenyans on social media engaged in a heated debate on whether that bold action taken by Owino is actually worthy or just a ploy. Here are some of the sample tweets raging on Twitter.
Dear President Obama, Be informed that Babu’s primitivity does not represent the intelligence of the UoN students. Yours, SONU member.

On Twitter the opinions are streaming in fast and divided. Some are pro Owino while others have completely bashed his efforts.

Whether the SONU chairman is right or not, he has once again catalyzed debate on social media. Only time will tell if the University of Nairobi (UoN) students will be granted their wish or have to sit on the sidelines.

Hi Daniel,After reading your renect post at church, we read the following quotes during Sabbath school at Floyd Matula’s church. We,would like to share these words of encouragement with you. Gideon deeply felt his own insufficiency for the great work before him. . . .The Lord does not always choose for His work men of the greatest talents, but He selects those whom He can best use. Individuals who might do good service for God, may for a time be left in obscurity, apparently unnoticed and unemployed by their Master. But if they faithfully perform the duties of their humble position, cherishing a willingness to labor and to sacrifice for Him, He will in His own time intrust them with greater responsibilities.Before honor is humility. The Lord can use most effectually those who are most sensible of their own unworthiness and inefficiency. He will teach them to exercise the courage of faith. He will make them strong by uniting their weakness to His might, wise by connecting their ignorance with His wisdom. (Signs of the Times June 23, 1881) The work will be given to those who will take it, those who prize it, who weave its principles into their everyday experience. God will choose humble men who are seeking to glorify His name and advance His cause rather than to honor and advance themselves. He will raise up men who have not so much worldly wisdom, but who are connected with Him, and who will seek strength and counsel from above. (Testimonies vol.5 pg. 461)I’ve heard people say that, The Lord doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called. Daniel, you may not feel qualified to do the work you are currently doing, but by God’s grace you can do it, and do it well.Nothing is impossible with Him!You are always in our prayers.Sincerely,Victor, Isabel, & Nicole Becerra and you church family at Floyd Matula’s
