I have some advice for young men newly employed,
When you get employed:
• Be grateful to God, your parents, your mentors and your boss for this opportunity
• Work hard
• Respect your employer
• Adhere to your employer's rules and protocols
• Embrace the mission and vision of the employer
However, if working for your employer becomes unbearable due to other reasons,
• Quit respectfully
• Follow the procedures of quitting as written in your contract or employment letter
• Return your employer's resources in your custody
• Handover politely and thank your employer for giving you an opportunity
• Leave with a clean conscience
Don't be chaotic, abusive and contemptuous on your way out.
Don't think you are smarter than your employer.
The employer you are disrespecting gave you a livelihood when you were seeking a footing and direction.
The employer may not have paid you to your satisfaction, but be polite.
Don't go bad mouthing your employer, speaking nastily, and broadcasting your foul mouth while disclosing what is considered private policies, programs, products or services of your former workplace.
Leave courteously.
This way, you open room for better opportunities, newer networks and better leverage.
Don't be a rude employee. Other employers will fear giving you opportunities in the future because they don't trust you.
Be courteous when you close the door behind you, the universe will be kind to you on your way out.
FAMILIES TODAY:
FATHER: Absent or weak and effeminate. He can't correct children's misbehaviour. He fears his wife. Coward. He tolerates defiance from children.
MOTHER: She is disobedient and rude. Disrespects FATHER in front of children. Loud-mouthed. She can't cook or clean the house. Lacks grace. Lazy.
CHILDREN: Defiant. Talk back at parents. Shout at adults. Throw tantrums when they won't get what they want. Uncouth language.
At the dinner table: They are all on phones scrolling. No intimate conversations. Children eat from their bedrooms, FATHER on the couch watching TV, mother in the kitchen scrolling TikTok.
PARENTS denigrate teachers.
"That teacher is always broke. He stinks. His wife is poor."
"If that teacher tells you to re-do this assignment, tell me. He will know who I am."
How then do you expect the children to be obedient and respectful to teachers and the school?
Children are echoing our manners.
If a very minor County officer has Kshs. 250,000,000.= cash in his humble Kshs. 20m house in proletariat Syokimau, how much money is kept in the guarded homes of the senior apparatchiks in leafy suburbs? Kenya is a very rich country. Every succeeding government steals more than the previous but Kenya still stands!
(Ps. Don’t ever again wonder why we have Urban Planning Departments yet there is no urban planning on the ground. We build high rise houses with no commensurate infrastructure. The infrastructure is the monies kept in homes)
One day, you will pay school fees, hospital bills, and salaries.
You will stay awake calculating figures while others sleep peacefully.
It is the day you will realize your father carried a weight you never understood.
Now it is your turn,
The burden is heavy, but it is SACRED.
Your FATHER carried it, now carry it for your son.
Nairobi, Kenya. Wow!! Never let a soulless club win the league title again. This is what it means to be a proper football club. You’re everywhere in the hearts millions thousands and thousands of miles away.
Arsenal fans in Kenya 🇰🇪 took to the streets of Nairobi in a massive victory parade to celebrate the club’s English Premier League title win after 22 years.
For everyone who suffered through 8-2.
For everyone who half 6 at Stamford Bridge in Wenger’s 1,000th game.
For everyone who suffered through Baku.
For everyone who had to go to school after conceding 10 to Bayern.
Today is for you. Drink it all in. We deserve this.
