Kuna kitu inaitwa Taxi Cab theory na inasuggest that men marry whoever is available when they're ready, not necessarily who they love. Ukweli ama uongo?
SERIOUS QUESTION: You don’t find it weird that not a single billionaire wants to end world poverty ?? Doesn’t it strike you as bizarre that no one with that kind of wealth wants to be the hero who actually solves the world’s biggest problems when they literally could ?? Isn’t that suspicious ??
We really CANNOT have sustainable energy because it threatens the oil industry. We cannot have healthcare because it threatens insurance. We cannot have peace because it threatens the weapons industry. Capitalism built a system where doing the right thing is treated like bad business.
"When the citizens of a Nation deem their most accomplished thieves as the most electable then they lose the right to complain when theft becomes their national creed." ~ Modibo Keita. Pan-Africanist leader and first President of Mali. (1915-1977)
Africans lived on the land for millennia and never hunted an animal species to extinction.
Then the Europeans arrived to bring civilisation, and within a few years they erased the quagga zebra, the bluebuck antelope, and the Cape lion, alongside countless plant species.
There are more than 2 billion Muslims in the world.
That's roughly 1 in every 4 people on Earth.
Islam is among the fastest-growing major religions, and its presence continues to expand across every continent.
By the middle of this century, Muslims are expected to make up a significantly larger share of the global population.
Islam is not disappearing. It is present in every corner of the world and continues to grow.
So perhaps the better path is understanding, respect, and friendship.
Because we're not going anywhere - we're growing everywhere.
In 1879, a simple Egyptian peasant woman named Mubarka Khafaji from a village in Kafr El-Sheikh married a farmer, Ibrahim Atta, who worked for daily wages. Due to financial hardship, he divorced her even though she was in the final months of her pregnancy.
Mubarka moved with her mother and brother to Alexandria, where she gave birth to her son, Ali Ibrahim Atta. She made a firm decision to do everything possible to raise and educate him in the best way.
She had countless reasons to despair and grow bitter toward men, but she did not. She could have forced her son into child labor selling tissues at traffic lights, but instead she worked as a cheese seller in the streets of Alexandria to support him.
She enrolled her son Ali in the Ras El-Tin Primary School. After he completed primary education, his father came to take him away to make him work with only a basic certificate.
But Mubarka’s dreams were much greater. She secretly moved her son from the roof of her house to the neighboring roof and fled with him to Cairo, enrolling him in the Khedivial School in Darb El-Gamamiz. She worked for a family in order to fund his education.
Ali excelled in his studies and was admitted to medical school in 1897, graduating in 1901.
Fifteen years later, Sultan Hussein Kamel fell seriously ill, and doctors were unable to diagnose his condition. Dr. Othman Ghaleb suggested the name of Dr. Ali Ibrahim. He successfully performed a critical surgery, after which he was appointed as the Sultan’s chief surgical consultant and personal physician, receiving the title of "Bey."
In 1922, King Fouad I granted him the title of "Pasha."
In 1929, Dr. Ali Pasha Ibrahim became the first Egyptian dean of the Faculty of Medicine at Fouad I University (Cairo University). He later became the university’s president.
In 1940, he was appointed Minister of Health. In the same year, he founded the Egyptian Medical Syndicate and became its first president. He also served as a member of the Egyptian Parliament.
His mother was: An uneducated, rural, divorced peasant woman.
Yet she raised a son who changed history.
The reform of any society begins with a mother.
Salute to every mother who is a true school of life.
Stop this dramas.Let her improve the systems working to serve the common Wanainchi rather than these theatrically motivated moves few months to elections .

What is so hard about floating an open tender for the JKIA project?
Let it be PPP but dozens of companies bid and then we scrutinise the bids thoroughly through public participation.
@KenyanSays Kamau wa Kisumu should sue this crooked senator for theft, aggravated economic sabotage as well as terroristic statements. Go for her pockets she went after yours.
One thing I find interesting is how people treat business and employment as if they exist on opposite planets. Someone posts a G-Wagon and says, “You can’t buy this with a salary.” Then everyone nods as if every business owner is out here casually ordering G63s for breakfast🤣.
The reality is much simpler.
1. The average employee cannot afford a G-Wagon.
2. The average business owner cannot afford a G-Wagon.
The guy running a small shop, the farmer, the boda spare parts dealer, the salon owner, the consultant, the restaurant owner, the livestock farmer, the online seller et al, most are working hard, paying bills, reinvesting profits and trying to grow. They are not shopping for KSh 30M+ cars casually!
The same applies to employment. Most employees won’t afford a G-Wagon. But let’s not pretend there aren’t CEOs, surgeons, pilots, lawyers, senior engineers, footballers, executives etc buying such cars from salaries, they are there, but a tiny fraction just like only a tiny fraction of business people who can afford them.
The truth is that G-Wagons or Bentleys or Ferraris et al are not a business-owner thing or a salaried-person thing. They are a high-income thing. Whether you are in employment or business as long as you are in a high income bracket, you will casually afford it.
The problem with social media is the survivorship bias. We only see the successful entrepreneur with ultra expensive cars and assume that is what business ownership looks like. We don’t see the millions of business owners struggling to make a payroll every month.
Likewise, we see an underpaid employee and assume employment can never create wealth, while ignoring the millions of highly paid professionals quietly building wealth through salaries.
Most people in business won’t own a high end car and most people in employment won’t own it either. The people who do are outliers in both respective groups.
We should stop making it sound like entrepreneurship is a guaranteed luxury-car subscription and employment is a guaranteed poverty sentence. Reality is far more nuanced than that buana. This is why I keep cautioning you all from listening to too much motivational speeches and speakers who offer nothing but hot air!
Lupita Nyong'o wants to play Helen of Troy. A greek woman. Its like if Johnny Depp was asked to play Dedan Kimathi.
I am afraid the whities are right on this.
Stop telling your colleagues that pay is the same even if they work past 5. Just leave quietly if you're tired. You don't know how long folks stayed without a job to secure that job you take for granted. Just pack your bags & go home. Even if they sleep there, mind your business.
Mwananchi ajitolee, aamke 5am, akae kwa jam mpaka afike job 7:30am. Then apige 8-5 yake. Alipe 30% tax. Alafu bado aswim akienda home while fighting for his life.
Aren't we angry enough Kenyans?
