    You are full of BS, once in a while, I read your useless 5cent uneducated input, Alot of wishful thinking and child imaginary at work. You state you denounced your US citizenship, first am pretty such you wouldn't afford just the renouncing fee itself. secondly this information is easily accessible thru the US immigration and customs. You can try impress and fool some, but most can see your BS scribbled all over your post.

    So what's the news here. We become citizens long time ago and didn't have to broadcast. Anyway use the opportunity to work hard and invest home otherwise it won't help.

  8. bmoreFeb 8, 2022

    @Mswahili thanks for asking this question before me. Sio wivu lakini we have many Kenyans who are American citizen.

    On the aspect of Uncle Sam being perceived as Gold when it's not, i totally agree.
    Living here as a man, you either choose to (as mkenya halisi would put it)make it & leave as soon as you have 'kakitu' back in Kenya OR get used to trying to come to terms with things like; being profiled by police from the retail stores, upto and including your own house , just for being black.
