It’s not the critic who counts; the one watching from the sidelines, pointing out every stumble.
Credit belongs to the person in the arena: showing up, taking risks, getting knocked down, and getting back up.
Don’t let spectators make you ashamed of being in the fight.

If you think you’ve eaten chicken in town… my friend, you’ve only been attending chicken meetings. The real AGM is in the village.
Kuku kienyeji doesn’t cook… it negotiates. That bird lived a full life chased watoto, survived hawks, attended barazas so when it lands in the sufuria, it demands respect. You don’t rush it, you sit there like a patient investor waiting for dividends.
Then comes ugali… not this soft Nairobi version that behaves like mashed potatoes. This one stands firm like a village elder. You can lean on it emotionally. You pinch it and it pinches you back.
The soup? Ahhh… that golden mafuta floating on top like it has land title deeds. One sip and suddenly you remember your ancestors, your primary school, and that time you almost became a good person.
And the best part no forks, no spoons, just vibes and strong fingers. Everyone around the table silent… not because there’s nothing to say, but because priorities have shifted.
Village food isn’t just a meal… it’s a spiritual experience. You don’t eat to get full, you eat to reconnect with your roots
KATHONZENI WAS AMAZING
Raila Odinga was a true champion of democracy. A child of independence, he endured decades of struggle and sacrifice for the broader cause of freedom and self-governance in Kenya. Time and again, I personally saw him put the interests of his country ahead of his own ambitions. Like few other leaders anywhere, he was willing to choose the path of peaceful reconciliation without compromising his core values. Through his life, Raila Odinga set an example not just for Kenyans, but across Africa and around the world. I know he will be missed. Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family and to the people of Kenya.
Update: Ime Udoka has confirmed this will be Houston’s starting lineup going forward:
Fred VanVleet
Jalen Green
Dillon Brooks
Amen Thompson
Alperen Şengün
Thoughts on Udoka’s decision?
There is something deeply wrong with this country...The president cannot evade responsibility for addressing the issue of abductions, as the duty to protect Kenyans and their property rests squarely on his shoulders.
I have been released on free bond from Karen Police Station for uttering the words KUFA MAKANGA KUFA DEREVA. I am back in town like i never left.
Thank you guys for fighting for me. I will always fight for you. You are mine and i am yours. Kaende kaende. Where were we before i was interrupted?
I was barred from entering Bomas at the gate. When i finally got in, i was denied the mic at BOMAS floor. Chaos erupted. I am hurt. Headed to hospital. I live to speak another day.
Prayer has always changed my life 🙏 Its simply talking to God! Try it! But for the grace of God I am who I am! We are not perfect but we can always pray.
