Kenyan police allowed Arsenal fans to gather and disperse peacefully but they never allow the same youth to protest against the government without killing some
Side quest for next month (hope I remember)
Run into a restaurant and loudly ask, “Where am I? What time is it? What YEAR is this?!” When told the year, I’d fall on my knees and say “You have to vote him out! Terrible things happened in the future I came from.”
I really love how we’re slowly expanding what “a life well lived” looks like. For the longest time adulthood was packaged as a single script which was study, get a job, get married, have kids in that order, on time with no deviation. And anything outside of that felt like
Nimeona kwa financially incorrect jamaa anasema the richest person he knows from the informal sector ni mwenye anauza matumbo. Mtu anatengeza 1BILLION a year kwa matumbo. People are serious outside here
Lol, I've just remembered learning something to do with telegrams.... calculating costs or trying to write a statement in telegram-shortform...in 844 English or was it Math...saa hiyo telegrams had been phased out centuries before. 😅

Someone asked me why I looked old or older in my Kibera photos compared to Now, this was my house when Legendary @NaziziHirji visited me in 2009. Looking to how youths are being used badly as goons let me tell those who don’t understand coz it’s clear most of you may not fully grasp the reality of life in the informal settlements so allow me to offer you a lived synopsis.
The slums age me long before the world ever gave me a fair chance. By 18, I carried the weight of decades not because I wanted to, but because I had to.
Spending your first 25 years in a place where poverty is normalized doesn’t just shape you it scars you. Not only through the absence of basic needs, but through the constant dehumanization even from relatives who distance themselves once they move beyond those streets. You’re criminalized by default. Watched, profiled, and blamed before you’re ever seen or heard.
There is no access to food security, no reliable healthcare, no consistent education, and certainly no financial safety net. Just the brutal mathematics of survival.
And survival isn’t free it demands your innocence, your dreams, and often, your spirit. It ages you. It erodes your sense of wonder. It kills the child in you before he ever knows what freedom feels like.
But somehow, I found a way out. Music became my escape not just an art form, but a form of resistance. Through it, I found my own . I reclaimed my voice. And in doing so, I began the slow work of reinstalling my soul.
This is why ending poverty is not charity it is justice. It is the restoration of dignity and the protection of every child’s right to simply be a child.
If this doesn’t happen the goons will never ever go away and your favorite politician probably knows this and it excites him.

Let break down this “not all men” stuff for you people
Out of 10 men in a room, one cracks a sexual joke.
Two of them actually find it funny.
Three of them don’t find it funny but chuckle just to fit in.
Four of them don’t find it funny but don’t say anything.
None of them says, “stop, that’s actually disturbing”.
Later, 9 men go back home believing they’re part of the good majority, unlike the man who cracked the sexual joke. But from a woman’s perspective, there isn’t much difference between the people who laughed, the people who laughed just to fit in and the people who said nothing.
All three do the same thing. They keep the room safe for the men who cross the line. And that’s the part “not all men” doesn’t address.
Women aren’t always saying that all men harass, but what we are saying is that a lot of good, polite men end up protecting the system where harassment feels low risk.
I understand why men resist this framing, but doing nothing is not the same as doing no harm, when the environment itself is what enables thr harm. The least you guys can do for women is to SPEAK UP.
It’s the same thing going on with this raping festival, some men wouldn’t participate but they wouldn’t stop the men that are participating.
But since they’re not part of the majority, they think they’re the “good” ones, when all they’re doing is protecting the system that keeps failing women.
Watching full blown wars on Twitter is the most surreal experience of modern life.
War, war, NBA post, F1, relationship advice, Epstein, war, Champions League draw, missiles.
