Replacing a corrupt government with a corrupt opposition funded by proceeds of theft from SGR, Eurobond, laptops KEMSA etc is NOT CHANGE.
It is high stinking tribalism.

If that is what GenZs died for then it was not worth it at all.
Such a voter is condemned to poverty, misery and joblessness in the circle, cycle and recycle of failure.

@sholard_mancity Well put

[Sholla Ard 🇰🇪 @sholard_mancity]

So today I watched a really disturbing story on Citizen TV about the late Justice David Majanja, and honestly, it left me with questions.

Justice Majanja passed away in 2024 and left assets worth over KSh 22 million. He also left a very clear will, everything to his last-born brother, because he trusted him to take care of their ageing parents.

Now here’s where it gets ugly. His other sisters and brothers allegedly went to court and got orders stopping the release of the money. Their argument? That if the will is implemented, they’ll be "disadvantaged" because they may not get anything.

Meanwhile, the parents are fully okay with the will. They’ve been begging the courts to release the funds. The father is sick with cancer and other complications, and they have no money.

Let me ask us honestly: since when did a sibling’s hard-earned wealth become a family entitlement? When did greed start wearing the mask of fairness?

If a will is clear and no minors are affected, courts should protect intent, not entertain selfish delays. Justice delayed here is cruelty, not caution.

And, let’s teach our children this simple truth: you are not entitled to what your brother or sister builds.

So tell me, are these siblings right, or have we normalized injustice in the name of "family"?

Instead of saving your money a bank account. Save in a MMF.

Instead of a fixed deposit account, invest in a T-bill

Instead of buying stocks blindly, invest in Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)

Instead of investing in idle plots of land, buy cash generating assets.

Do better!

When Morgan Tsvangirai died on 14 February 2018, a Congolese businessman who owned mines in Zimbabwe and who was friends with President Emmerson Mnangagwa and Vice President Constantino Chiwenga asked me what sort of advice I would give the President and his deputy on how to handle the death of the former Prime Minister.

I told the businessman that President Mnangagwa and Vice President Chiwenga should send an Air Zimbabwe plane to South Africa to bring back Tsvangirai’s remains. I also said that they should send a delegation comprising senior ministers, family members, and opposition representatives on that plane to accompany the body back home.

I advised that when the plane landed at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport, fire engines should line up and give a water cannon salute as a mark of respect, and that the president and his deputy should be there too.

I said that the government should not just give Morgan Tsvangirai a state funeral, but should go further and declare him a national hero, but allow him to be buried at his village as per his wish. My reasoning was simple, that would have been the most powerful way to unite Zimbabweans, a people long divided by partisan politics and hate.

I never knew whether the businessman conveyed my advice to Mnangagwa and Chiwenga, but it did not happen.
I mention this today because everything I suggested then is exactly what the Kenyan government has done for opposition leader Raila Odinga — honouring him in ways that transcend political lines and affirm national unity.

That conversation happened in February 2018. Six months later, the same businessman took me to meet Vice President Chiwenga. On the same day, we met with the EU and British ambassadors in the VP’s office where we talked about the need to heal Zimbabwe and reach out to the international community.

On the same day, I was introduced to President Mnangagwa in his office, where we once again discussed the need for him and his team to unite Zimbabweans.
After those meetings, I realised that nothing was going to change in Zimbabwe.

It pains me deeply when I look at our politics because what needs to be done to unite Zimbabweans is neither complicated nor costly. These are simple, symbolic gestures that demonstrate respect, humility, and leadership.
If the government had sent a plane to fetch the remains of the former Prime Minister, it would have cost almost nothing, yet the unity and goodwill it would have generated would have been priceless.

If the government had declared Morgan Tsvangirai a national hero, it would not have cost a cent more than a few words and a sense of statesmanship — but it would have healed wounds and inspired hope in a nation desperate for both.

I do not know how politicians think or what drives their decisions, but too often they miss historic opportunities because they are consumed by petty rivalries, egos, and ideological emptiness. Sometimes, it is not what you spend that builds a nation, but what you choose to honour.

I salute Kenya for seeing beyond its political differences. When the Kenyan Airways plane carrying Raila Odinga’s remains entered Kenyan airspace, its call sign was changed from KQ203 to RAO001 — “RAO” representing Raila Amolo Odinga’s initials, and “001” symbolising a presidential-style designation reserved for a man who dedicated his life to public service and democracy.

President William Ruto declared seven days of national mourning and made today a public holiday in honour of Raila Odinga. That is what true leadership looks like — the ability to rise above partisanship and honour a compatriot whose contribution shaped the nation’s story.

I hope the ZANUPF leadership will one day understand that it is the small gestures that define great nations, that there is a time for political contests and a time for unity, healing, and respect.

Sometimes it is the advisors around leaders who make them look great, and sometimes it is the same advisors who make them look terrible. True leadership requires the wisdom to discern between those who serve the nation’s interests and those who serve only their own. The legacy of any leader is often shaped not just by their intentions, but by the quality of counsel they choose to listen to.

Well done, Kenya, you have shown the world what can be achieved when a nation chooses unity over division and sets aside pettiness.👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

You have proved that greatness is not found in the size of a nation or the wealth of its leaders, but in the humility to honour those who helped shape its democracy — even when they once stood on the other side of politics.

Kenya has successfully converted its Sh650 billion railway loan from US dollars to yuan.

The move is expected to save the country about Sh28 billion every year.

(So far, about Sh455 billion of the loan is still unpaid on the SGR).

MARRIAGE BURNOUT

It reaches a point where you get tired of your marriage.

The woman looks bothersome, annoying and irritating.

This leads to fights, and violence.

You only consider it worthwhile because of the children.

This is called MARRIAGE BURNOUT.

This happens when you ignore the basic pillars of getting into marriage.

• Entry behaviour

• Frame Control

• Power Retention

The number 1 cause of MARRIAGE BURNOUT is Loss of Masculine Frame.

You became too available to the woman until your value got lost.

Every time your woman sees you from Monday to Monday, and from January to January, she loses attraction, and respect.

Every time you are there thinking you are pleasing her or the children, she is seeing you as an idiot who has no purpose in life.

Modern men are beta males who listen to their wives needs instead of focusing on their goals.

They are subservient to bulshit ideologies like

"A man should be there for his wife."

"If you are not available, she will cheat."

These are distorted imperatives that excite women's emotions.

Women emotions are like storms, they appear and disappear.

Don't be obedient to them, be obedient to your frame.

She values your frame, more than you value her emotions.

Once MARRIAGE BURNOUT appears in your marriage, do the following

• Take a break from it.

• Dissappear into singularity.

• Learn a new skill that is not within your career.

• Seduce more younger women.

• Hit the gym.

• Fast.

• Read difficult books.

• Write and journal more.

Don't be a slave in a marriage that has become chaotic.

Leave it immediately.

You will hit a woman, and she will report you to police.

You will be jailed.

I am not a Catholic, but for decades - especially since reading David Yallop’s book, THE POWER AND THE GLORY and Dan Brown’s novel, ANGELS AND DEMONS - I have been intrigued by the Catholic Church. This might not come out well, but for a church steeped in a 2000-year-old tradition, one of the most fascinating Catholic events is the death of a Pope.
