🧵Nairobi has a comprehensive roadmap for its future: the NIUPLAN from 2014,prepared by JICA & officially approved by the Nairobi City County. Containing some of the most rigorous transport data analysis in the country. Let’s break it down (Transport Infrastructure).
There is a lot of misinformation about this agreement that is being peddled online and I wish that the government would come out straight to explain things instead of glossing over related issues.
I will try to explain what is happening especially in regard to the Ebola outbreak.
Last week, I met Aliko Dangote at his refinery and fertilizer plant in Lagos.
We discussed how @NSE_PLC and other African exchanges can support what could be Africa’s biggest IPO yet: a $22B offering to expand Dangote’s refinery business.
African capital markets are backing African champions.
The infrastructure is here. The ambition is here.
Africa’s future isn’t being planned. It’s being built.
I would vote for Sifuna if this is the kind of person he is...handouts are mainly done by thieves. These sangwenyas are so used to surviving on freebies they can not imagine a person who does not give handouts having power.
It was 8 PM on a Friday, and my partner was dead asleep on the living room sofa, still in his work clothes.
I was on FaceTime with a friend who was getting ready for a massive night out. She asked what my weekend plans were, and I flipped the camera to show him resting.
She sighed, doing her makeup. “Girl, doesn't it bother you? You’re young, it's Friday, and you're just watching a man sleep. You deserve the princess treatment. If he really wanted to take you out and show you off, he would.”
I looked at him. I looked at the dark circles under his eyes and the laptop still open on the coffee table.
What my friend didn’t see was that earlier that week, he had quietly taken over two of my biggest bills so I could afford to take a lower-paying job that I actually loved. He had been pulling 14-hour days for months, absorbing all the financial pressure so I could finally breathe.
I didn’t argue with her. I just calmly said,
“He is giving me the soft life. The soft life is me waking up without panic because he goes to war every single day. I’m not going to punish him for returning from that war exhausted.”
The line got quiet. I told her to have fun, hung up, and draped a blanket over him.
The internet has completely warped our idea of what love looks like. It has convinced women that "princess treatment" means endless aesthetic dates, constant entertainment, and a partner who operates with infinite energy.
But a man cannot simultaneously be in the trenches securing your absolute safety, and have the carefree energy of a guy with zero responsibilities.
I realized that night: The ultimate luxury isn't a man who takes you out to be seen. It’s a man who makes your life so incredibly secure that fiercely protecting his rest becomes your biggest priority.

There’s no guesswork when it comes to ambition, dreams, and vision; but you will weep (a little) when you read the tender documents for the modernisation of Kenya’s main airport, JKIA.
You see, the minister of transport issued a brief that says that by 2045, the airport will be handling 22.31 million passengers and 860,400 tons of cargo. /1
In Murang’a, there is a program called the Murang’a Youth Service. Yesterday there was a recruitment exercise across the whole of Murang’a. This program takes 30 youths per ward, and so far they have taken more than 8,000 youths. The youths are selected through balloting, if you pick “yes,” you get a chance. No educational qualifications are required.
If you are selected, you work in cleaning the towns in Murang’a for two months and you are paid Ksh 400 per day. You receive Ksh 300, while Ksh 100 is sent to your parent.
After finishing the cleaning work, you are taken to a polytechnic to study a course of your choice such as plumbing, hair and beauty, etc., for three months, and the program pays for your NITA exam.
After completing the exams, there is a graduation, and you are given Ksh 15,000 to start a business. If you start your business in Murang’a, you do not pay a business license fee for one year.
Murang'a is making other Kenyans feel like they were born in Mogadishu. Now that is empowerment, silent, focused and impacful, not what we are currently seeing in other areas. Other leaders are milking the country dry while telling their mumu voters that all development is taken to Murima bcoz of entitlement.🤡
