Earlier this year, our Miss Twitter Kenya contest already showed the popularity of Twitter with Kenyans. And today, a Kenyan topic was trending on Twitter. #KCPE2010 was actually listed in the top 3 of Trending Topics on Twitter globally for a few hours today.

The Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examinations kicked off countrywide today and Kenyans on Twitter were attempting to make guesses on the questions that have been designed to mould our "leaders of tomorrow".

(Note for non-Kenyans: The Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) is a certificate awarded to students after completing primary education in Kenya. KCPE results are extremely important in Kenya, as it determines the secondary school the student will be accepted into.)

Most of the #KCPE2010 tweets are really quite hilarious! Here's a very incomplete sample:
