"Kenyan Vernacular music is advanced, EABL looks at the Vernacular artist As proper businessmen while Urban musician are chasing EABL for sponsorship "~Bien
Once homeguards join the rogue political class, all common sense, intellectual depth, & humanity gets thrown out the window.
In some cases as is with this Mpig, even family isn't spared from the evil radiating from these nyaparas.
Sidenote: what a crass & crude looking house, smh
The Deep Culture of Intellectual Property Theft in Kenya - And Why Young Creatives Must Stop Giving Their Brains Away for Free
The culture of intellectual property theft is deeply embedded in Kenya, and young, impressionable creatives are always the primary victims.
I remember 2005 clearly. As a young coffee expert, I pitched a solid proposal to the then-owner of Thika Coffee Mills, Pius Ngugi, and his shitty son Mbugua, together with some foreign partners.
They stole the idea and implemented it.
You will notice that Kenya’s rich old-money scumbags carry an ingrained contempt for excellence that comes from ordinary Kenyans. Every meeting or pitch is carefully designed to drain your spirit so that you can never overtake them.
That is why I have zero respect for the so-called “billionaires” and boomers of this country. Their money does not impress me. And if enough people listen, we can bring this entire colonial oligarchy down. I have the blueprint.
Those early experiences taught me caution. From as early as 2009, I completely stopped pitching free proposals. I only work with clients who prepay.
I have warned people repeatedly: avoid meetings where someone wants to “pick your brain,” especially in coffee houses like Java. I stopped doing those a long time ago.
Before we dismantle this colonial infrastructure next year, you must find creative ways to survive in the interim. Stop sharing your brains for free. Kenyans are an entitled and often pathetic lot.
The same person who forces you through back-to-back unpaid proposals just to secure a 50k gig will casually send 20 million to a stranger in Japan for a new car. It is pure contempt. And the younger you are, the easier you are to prey on.
Protect your ideas. Charge for your time. Demand payment upfront. This British colonial system is designed to extract from you while protecting those who already have everything. Stop feeding it.
Money laundering is only concerned w transforming stolen money into "legitimate" assets. Never expect to see anything other than grotesque malls, petrol stations, & all sorts of concrete monstrosities coming up in your area. Thugs couldn't be less concerned about your well-being.
For a country that hates its own, I think this is the worst kind of analysis you can have about what we produce because you paint a picture that we don't produce anything good. It doesn't help anyone.
Edwin Gathigi, a man wrongfully sentenced to life in prison for defilement, was released just one week ago after new evidence emerged that proved his innocence. The 24-year-old had been convicted in 2025 based largely on the testimony of his grandmother, who claimed to have witnessed the crime.
In an emotional visit to Edwin in August 2025, his grandmother admitted to providing false testimony, alleging she had been influenced by her daughter to do so.
The case took a complicated turn when Edwin's mother revealed that her sister had falsely accused her son out of a long-standing feud. “This was never about Edwin; it was a personal vendetta,” she asserted.
After months of legal battles and an appeal process utilizing this testimony, Edwin was finally declared innocent and released from Nyeri Maximum Security Prison on January 21, 2026. His plight was brought to light by journalist Simon Kibe, who highlighted his story on YouTube, drawing significant public attention to the case.
In an interview with NTV shortly after his release, Gathigi recounted the fateful day of the accusations. “I was at my grandmother's place for the holidays when my cousin called me into the sitting room. My grandmother claimed that my younger cousin had accused me of rape. I was in shock,” he recalled, overwhelmed by disbelief. He even offered to undergo medical testing to clear his name.
In the days following the accusation, Edwin found himself isolated. Attempts to defend himself were met with silence, and he was ultimately ambushed by police, with his aunt and grandmother present but failing to intervene. “None of them tried to correct the false claims,” he lamented, reflecting on the betrayal of those he trusted most.
People of north eastern should also see this and know that WANTAM will also deceive them after all the impressions! Hakuna stima ya North Eastern na stima ya the rest of Kenya!!! WANTAM is a movement!!! #wantam#kplc
I just saw the video of the Garissa ICU during the blackout. 💔Watching life-saving machines literally shut down with ZERO backup power is haunting.
How are human lives being treated as optional in 2026? Who is actually going to be held accountable for this?
