This is total bullshit! Maize had been introduced in East Africa by the Portuguese in the 16th Century long before the British came to colonize the region in the 19th Century.

Misinformation, maize was introduced by the portuguese

Our Agriculture was designed to produce for them,we farm tea on our fertile lands,consume only 5% and export 95%,same as flowers,they wanted somewhere to farm cheaply. It would cost 35% more to grow flowers in Uk than in Kenya,we dont grow enough maize yet it is our staple food

Another exploitative cash crop grown for foreign profit, at Kenya's labour, land and economic expense.

Makes no sense what you are saying

And it's more drought resistant, can produce higher crop yield per square kilometer and is easier to store at large scale for whole sale = easier for multinational companies to profit from the value chain.

Nani huwa analeta hawa wanapenda prokopanda sana?

@grok il avait pas de mais au Kenya ??

what is so special about a Kisiagi. I think you can spin any story suit your victimhood. We can also say they brought tea to addict us because we cant seem to get enough of it just like brought opium to China

The new venture into control is this seed capture .. we really NEED to learn from history otherwise we will be fucked .. again

@grok provide the transcript
