If you are an observant person,
A man who is keen, and concerned about his consciousness,
You will realise something unusual is happening,
There is a silent shift going on,
We are moving from an OWNERSHIP ECONOMY to a SUBSCRIPTION ECONOMY.
In a subscription economy, you own nothing, but you pay for goods and services which you consume,
For example,
Back in the 90s,
We bought and owned music hardware like cassettes and discs,
This ensured that the music hardware was yours and nobody would charge you a recurring monthly fee to play music,
We owned newspapers and kept them,
We bought and owned books,
We owned letters written to us,
We bought, and claimed ownership,
But this is changing, and it is concerning,
In a subscription economy, you own nothing, but you pay for it.
MKOPA phones and Electric bikes are examples of how we have lost ownership of what we have bought.
It will reach a time where,
• You won't make a call, unless you subscribe to a calling service, on top of buying airtime,
• You won't send an email unless you subscribe, or you will lose all your emails,
• You won't listen to music unless you pay a monthly subscription fee for streaming,
• You won't send a text or a WhatsApp message unless you subscribe to a monthly plan, or get used to annoying advertisements,
• You won't cook food unless you pay for a monthly gas subscription plan or pay double for electricity,
• You won't drink clean water unless you subscribe to a monthly water delivery plan.
Ultimately, you won't own land or a house or a cow,
You will own nothing, and you will never be happy.
You will become a slave of the subscription economy.
That day is coming.
If you are wise,
• Go to a rural area,
• Own land,
• Get solar,
• Sink a borehole,
• Keep poultry, cows, goats and sheep,
• Grow your food.
Don't sit in the city like sheep.
Freedom will be given to those who will defeat the subscription economy.
WAKE UP!

Not a direct translation but it goes with delayed gratification and the discipline of saving
Light and hearty Beef Tumbukiza, Smoky grilled Mtura, fresh Kachumbari and Ugali.
Kenyan comfort food in a plate with the queen of Afro-Pop @yemialadee a woman whose voice has carried Africa across borders, cultures and generations.
Simple food, deep roots and stories carried through flavor.
When Dr. Esther Muchemi quit a top-tier audit firm, people called her crazy. She survived five years running a solo firm with 1 client from a tiny office. She then took an even wilder risk: opening a modest phone shop in Nginyo Towers. That single shop birthed the Samchi Group conglomerate. A raw, unscripted masterclass on walking away from spaces that don't value you to build your own.
