The debate between Gen Zs and millennials is totally imbalanced because we are comparing people at very different stages of life, under very different burdens, and then pretending the answers are already clear.
Gen Zs are right to say they are bold, outspoken and less willing to tolerate humiliation, especially in workplaces, politics and society. That is a good thing, and Kenya has benefited from that courage. But millennials are also not weak simply because many learnt how to endure bad systems, survive quietly, keep jobs, swallow pride and carry responsibilities without making noise every day.
The truth is that we may not get the real answer now. We will only know when Gen Zs are in their 30s and 40s, with children in school, ageing parents to support, rent or mortgages to pay, medical bills arriving without warning, loans hanging over them, and entire households depending on one salary.
That is when life tests political courage, workplace courage and social courage differently. It is easy to say people should walk away from oppressive spaces when you are mostly carrying yourself. It becomes more complicated when your resignation, rebellion or public confrontation can immediately affect your children, your parents, your spouse and everyone who eats from your table.
So maybe millennials were tough in survival while Gen Zs are tough in confrontation, but the debate is not complete until both generations have faced the same weight of adult responsibility.
Let us wait and see whether the same fire remains when life adds school fees, hospital bills, dependants, debt and the fear of one wrong move collapsing a whole family.
Until then, this argument is interesting, but it is not settled......
Christian faithful in Marsabit County observed Good Friday. May Allah open their hearts to the truth of Islam, guide them to the straight path, and grant them light and understanding. 😭😭😭😭😭😭
An elder from Wajir County reflects with pride:
“I educated my four daughters to stand strong and independent. Today, they overflow with empathy and humility. Had I known they’d become such extraordinary women, I’d have cherished them even more. Truth is, they’ve surpassed the sons I raised and educated.”
Educate your daughters to be independent,they’ll change the world. 💪✨

This is the last time I’m addressing this nonsense. I’m absolutely sick of most Somalis using “Borana” as an insult it’s disgusting, arrogant, and shameful. You are not superior to anyone. Their culture, their language, their identity ,all deserve respect. The entitlement and ignorance are embarrassing. Fear Allah and grow tf up!

•we shall not forget•
My faith in a generation willing to speak up for themselves and willing to stand up for the betterment of their own country, has been restored. My faith in the sovereignty of the people has been restored.
Yet, my heart bleeds most for those that never made it back. They will not be a statistic, but a legend that I will speak of for generations to come.
I am proud of my people, and for as long as I stand, I shall play my part…The revolution SHALL be televised.

Faith Odhiambo: We need to see all unconstitutional offices scrapped. We don’t want to hear about CSs, the offices of the wife of the President, the wife of the Deputy President, and the wife of the Prime Minister. Let that money go to health and education #JKLive@KoinangeJeff
