HEROISM PROVED

To win a marathon in Uganda
first you need to know that there is no secret society that will tap you on the shoulder and tell you how you are talented to make a good athlete ,here in Uganda you are supported  after you have become popular.That is when you will hear all the praises and contributions and as it is said in    Proverbs 18:16  of the good book that
"A man's gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men",you will also definitely receive a call from the first house in Entebbe inviting you for a lunch or dinner and the next day go to meet Hon.Kadaga and Hon.Lukyamuzi the man at parliament for stately congratulations,what are you talking about ? they will always treat you like this for as long as you keep being the best.if you all of a sudden grow weak you will be forgotten ,I mean where is Dorcus inzikuru and moses kipsiro Thank God at least I know of John Akii-bua because  there is Akiibua  Road in Nakasero Uphill,but who knows whether some Ninjas some time to come will under estimate that noble achievement and Name the road after someone else say like Gilbert Arinaitwe Bwana,by the way was that guy a civilian or a security officer? You know they say 'Yamba polisi Nayo ekuyambe' meaning help the police as it also helps you,may be he was just helping .Anyway it is good to name infrastructures after important people or events,it helps to remind us of how we have been moving towards our present.At least I can take touble to find out who Dowinton was because of dowinton road at National theater in Kampala.Recently while wondering in illusions about my future,I entertained dreams of owning a commercial building in one of our important towns and name it Y.K.Museveni Complex but I thought it wouldn't be a good idea as long as we still have the 4GC (For God and my country ) activism group formerly A4C (Activism For Change), some people don't take this guys seriously but if they are persistent like this,they might get power come 2070 after afande Sam Omara and Gilbert Arinaitwe Bwana have retired.
On a serious note as a country we should learn to remember and honorably reward our Heroes,there are many personal sacrifices we may never know that  they make just to make us as a country shine proudly.

  Secondly you should mind your last name.It should at least bear a letter 'K' and 'Ki' just makes it better,I mean we can talk of kiprotich,Kipsiro,Kiprop,

Inzikuru etc these  being from uganda .Abel kirui,Wilson Kipsang of kenya.Even in our Kampala MTN marathon take a look at the names which have been at the top since this event began,you will hear of Kimwetich,David Tarus Kiptui,Rusina Kiboino Jepkosgei and please be carefull while reading some names, you might bite your tongue,..... the least is endless.So I fell in love with running not so long ago and Iam looking forward to registering for the MTN Marathon 2013,so when I discovered the luck with letter K,I am contemplating of changing my name to Kiwanja, and when I am surrounded  with the NTV,BukendeTV and BBC and CNN guys later at the olympics asking me how all of a sudden I made it,I will tell them it is all about letter K attached to your name or Ki if you want a gold medal.

 The government has promised to construct a new high altitude stadium and name it after kiprotich
Anyway  Thank you so much Stephen kiprotich for what you have done,indeed we are proud of you,You represent the greater number of common Ugandans who are struggling to fulfill their heart felt desires of being somebody in this mother Land Uganda amidst external pressures and poverty drawing us to some other things that we have never planned to be.We have people whose desire was to be preachers,doctors,bankers,lawyers,artists or even athletes, but because they lacked mentors to believe in them,and support to relieve them of some burdens,they have ended up in fields so different.But your undoubtable championship is a great inspiration to us,The truth is that we may not all be athletes,but life in general is a race we have to win,therefore if we take your example,I believe we can   also improvise and be champions.We can win that political post,we can write that book,we can get that academic certification,we can....if we believe.For God and my Country.
