Africa must stop exporting raw potential and start building value at home.

@KobeissiLetter Looking at the list, Iran has no any incentive to agree to that ceasefire deal.

[Eng. James Emman @Eng_Emman]

@Kimuzi_ Illegal. The interest amount beyond 1.6M is illegal and should not be honoured. Regardless of what the agreement.

@Naomikibandi The contest will be between Arati amd Onyonka. Highly unlikely that Machogu will be on the ballot.

Chess is not just a game of moves, but a game of minds. It teaches patience, strategy, and focus helping you make better decisions both on and off the board, where every move shapes a smarter tomorrow.

Oh lord🤦🏿‍♂️

In the context of the original post, the grass is always not greener on the other side because she posting about monetary issues eg being spent on, spoiled, soft life & etc

Older and influential women on this app need to stop spreading lies to younger ladies. If we stay sober and look at the current Kenyan economy, there aren’t a lot of guys that can provide the lifestyle she was describing. But you all are there singing the chorus and supporting the post.

From KNBS, slightly less than 400K Kenyans make over 100K/month in formal employment. Let’s be generous and say there are another 600K in informal business making that amount of money. That means about 1M or 2% of the entire population makes over 100K/year. Go ahead and take away women (~33%) and you are left with ~660K men. Take away married men, gay, those that don’t want to get married & etc : the pie keeps shrinking.

But you are busy telling women there is better out there.

Why aren’t you advising women to look for and accept a kind, hardworking, mature and loving man? They might not spoil you or pamper you or give you the “soft life” but they are genuinely good men.

I’m not saying it’s impossible to find these “unicorn” men but it’s not the norm. And I’m glad you said based on YOUR experience you’ve bagged one unicorn - Good for you! But what I’m telling you is that you are the exception, not the rule.

What surprises me is that in a country with nominal GDP per capita of $2700 (KSH 28.8K/month), women are advising other women to chose partners primarily based on monetary ability, but not personality🤷🏾‍♂️

For any lady reading this, please always choose a kind, reliable, supportive, and emotional intelligent man above all. If he comes with money, that’s a nice bonus!

@amerix Well said. Sometimes silence is a golden strategy. The moment you start explaining, you disclose your moves. Also, some people aren't confused they're baiting you into revealing yourselves.

[Eng. James Emman @Eng_Emman]

@Philip_sawe Definitely. He has to.

Mogaka's Reflections.
As the matatu groans through Nairobi’s evening jam, Mogaka stares out the dusty window, briefcase on his lap like an old friend who’s stopped bringing good news.

Mogaka's thoughts are wandering:
"Petrol at 178 and diesel at 166 bob a litre today… but the whispers say 230 bob by next week. Unga? Milk? School fees for the two boys next term? Rent that laughs at my salary? Everything is climbing faster than a boda on Thika Superhighway, while my payslip stays stuck and trapped like the vehicles in Nairobi CBD floods "

His Techno kabambe phone buzzes..

"It is M-Shwari reminder again. Fuliza ghosting me like a bad ex. Debts feel like extra passengers I never invited- one for Mama Watoto's chama and I never see that money, one for the “quick loan” that cleared the boys' 1st term school fees, another one for my father's Blood Pressure medicines, there is Njoroge's shop and another for just… surviving. They sit heavy on my chest, whispering - Pole sana, bro. Next month mambo itajipa."

He closes his eyes and imagines the dashboard of his life. Fuel gauge on red. Engine light blinking “high cost of living.” But he is the driver, not the passenger.

"Maybe I cut the non-essentials like the monthly nyama quarter and the Salon for Mama watoto. But touching the Salon will put me in big trouble...aah! Maybe I get a another Kibarua for the night. Yesterday Mama Watoto told me that hajakula chapati since Christmas. I told her that Amerix said Chapatis are not healthy. She told me that-basi enda ukae kwa Amerix"

The matatu hits a pothole and interferes with his train of thought. He smiles bitterly.

"My life is just like these roads, bumpy, expensive, low quality, but it keeps moving. Tomorrow I’ll wake up, tighten the belt one more notch, and still send something home to Mama in Kisii for the Sukari. Because what else is there? Debt may ride shotgun, but hope is the one holding the steering wheel. No one is coming to save me"

"NI WEWE HUTAKI KUSHUKA. MWISHO WA GARI NI HAPA! " The Makanga's voice startles Mogaka.
