Smart Madu Ajaja’s “Pray for Kenya” – A Call to Courage, Faith, and Completion
A Critical and Humane Analysis: The Cry of a Diaspora Voice and the Walls of Power
By Francis John, Editor-in-Chief, TipsNews.info
In his impassioned address “Pray for Kenya,” Smart Madu Ajaja — Convener of Open Nigeria and Africa Unite, and Anchor of Nigeria Now on ONN — urges Kenyan Gen Z to “finish the work” they began in pursuit of justice and renewal, in honor of Raila Odinga. A spiritual, civic, and continental awakening unfolds.
A Voice of Conviction and Compassion
Smart Madu Ajaja stands at the intersection of faith, governance, and African rebirth. His recent broadcast “Pray for Kenya” is not simply a show — it’s a continental altar of conscience, uniting prayer with purpose and hope with action.
With calm intensity, he declares:
“Kenyan Gen Z, go and finish the work you started, in honor of Raila Odinga.”
That single line transforms the short broadcast into a generational manifesto. It’s not political theater — it’s a moral summons to Kenya’s youth and all Africans to complete the task of nation-building with faith, humility, and relentless courage.
Kenya’s Generation Z: The Finishers
This is not merely encouragement; it’s an intergenerational torch-passing.
Kenya’s Gen Z — bold, digital, and determined — has already proven its commitment to civic reform. Ajaja’s call re-ignites that spirit, reminding them that leadership is legacy, not leverage.
“Go and finish the work you started” means turning movements into systems, protests into policy, and inspiration into institutional reform.
Ajaja connects Kenya’s struggle to the wider African quest for self-definition and dignity. His is a pan-African sermon — spoken in love, powered by truth, and directed toward transformation.
