@XivTroy The biggest aspect here is climate... Even Dubai and Qatar government has always made life for their citizens easier by employing foreigners and their citizens only doing high end jobs. Cold temperature regions even Nyandarua, people work 24/7
Most people graduate from college, spend months or years looking for jobs while ignoring generational wealth right under their noses—their parents' businesses that paid their school fees.
While your child learns in the classroom, teach him how your business works, how to buy and sell, how to negotiate, how to manage customers, how to manage money, and how to spot opportunities.

Most Kenyans keep their savings in a money market fund and call it "investing."
There's nothing wrong with that, but if you want real wealth building, you need to own a piece of Kenyan businesses.
Here's how to build a serious stock portfolio on the Nairobi Securities Exchange. 🧵
A few months back, I published this guide on how to remember everything you read.
Re-sharing it here for anyone who finds these protocols useful.

Your backyard could be the best room in your house. Most people are wasting it on concrete and dry grass. Here’s a thread with ideas on bringing backyards to life..

@polo_kimanii Shida ni ati ukimpata, mahari si ng'ombe 24, ni share certificate za kampuni fulani na kiti ya board of directors. Hapo ndio unajua 'Kalenjin' ni language lakini 'Rich' ni tribe ingine tofauti.
TIME IS NOT TREATED THE SAME EVERYWHERE:
1. Germany: Being late is disrespectful. Meetings start to the second. Punctuality here is not a habit. It is a moral standard.
2. Brazil: An invitation for seven means nine. Relationships matter more than schedules. Rigidity kills the atmosphere.
3. Japan: Trains run to the minute. A sixty second delay comes with a formal public apology. Time is a system. The system is everything.
4. India: Events begin when people arrive. The gathering defines the time. Presence matters more than precision.
5. Polynesian cultures: Time was tied to stars, seasons, and the ocean. Circular, not linear. The clock came later and from somewhere else.
6. United States: Time is money. Literally. Every hour is billable. Every minute is scheduled. Rest has to earn its place.
7. Spain: Lunch at three. Dinner at ten. The day bends around the person. Not the other way around.
8. Ethiopia: A different calendar entirely. Thirteen months. New Year in September. A different year than the rest of the world. Time here is a cultural choice, not a global agreement.
9. France: August belongs to rest. Emails go unanswered. Shops close. Nobody apologizes for this. Leisure is a right, not a reward.
10. Kenya: The clock starts at sunrise. Six in the morning is hour zero. Noon is hour six. Time is built around light, not an arbitrary number on a wall.
11. China: One time zone for the entire country. A landmass that should span five. In the far west the sun rises at ten in the morning. Unity was chosen over accuracy.
12.Australia: Aboriginal communities have always read time through seasons, animal movements, and the stars above. For over sixty thousand years the land itself served as the calendar. No clock was ever needed. Nature told them everything.
13. Mexico: Mañana means not right now. Urgency is often self-imposed. The present moment has its own demands and they are considered legitimate.
14. Greece: A guest arrives at any hour. You welcome them fully. The clock adjusts to the person. The person never adjusts to the clock.
15. Scandinavia: Months of darkness then months of endless light. The body follows seasons, not schedules. This is ancient. Science is only now catching up.
16. Nigeria: Start times are a suggestion. What matters is that everyone arrives, connects, and the evening becomes what it was meant to be. The experience always outranks the schedule.
17. Indonesia: Jam karet. Rubber time. Time stretches around mood, traffic, and social obligation. Rigidity is considered uncomfortable, not professional.
18. Russia: Eleven time zones. Vast winters. Long silences. Time here is treated with patience that outsiders often mistake for slowness.
19. Egypt: One of the first civilizations to invent a calendar. Yet modern Egyptian social time is deeply flexible. Hospitality always comes before the clock.
20. Congo: Community shapes the day more than any schedule. Time belongs to the people in the room, not the hands on the clock.
21. Philippines: Filipino time is a known and accepted reality. Six in the evening means seven or eight. Arriving before the host is ready is the real social mistake.
22. Vietnam: Built on endurance and long horizons. Planning here thinks in years and generations. Short deadlines feel foreign to a culture that measured time in struggles spanning decades.
23. Tanzania: Pole pole. Slowly slowly. A phrase that governs daily life. Rushing is not a virtue here. Moving with intention is.
24. Argentina: Dinner at ten. Parties at midnight. The night is its own world. Compressing it into earlier hours would make it something lesser.
25. Turkey: A meeting can become a meal can become a long evening. Nobody considers this a deviation. It is simply what time is for.
26. Iran: Its own solar calendar. New Year on the spring equinox. Time tied to nature, poetry, and a civilization so old that modern urgency feels like a passing trend.
Most buyers think the land registry is where you “get a title.”
That’s how people get conned.
A title is just the surface.
The truth is in the registry system.
What to check:
• Land register - real ownership
• Cadastral map - actual boundaries
• Parcel file - full history
• Georeferenced plans - exact location
• Presentation book - all transactions involving the land
• Proprietor index - ownership links
• Power of attorney - seller authority
You can access all this by paying a small fee.
If you only check the title, it is safe to say you are gambling.
Properties worth Billions that Jimmy Kibaki Inherited from his Father, Mwai Kibaki!
As the firstborn son & key executor, Jimmy oversees the family’s Sh150 billion empire:
• Silver Springs Hotel & Green Hills Hotel
• Kentrout Grill & Campsite
• Stakes in International Life House
• 30,000+ acres of prime land (Gingalili Farm, Lombara Ranch, Rware Wheat Farm & more)
The Kibaki legacy is still running strong! 🔥
@Bossyator A wild goose chase. Which 1 sh'd come first, 1. Collecting enough fish to fill the available nets or, 2. Increasing the number of nets? KRA is collecting below target; meaning, (known fellows operating untaxed). Ask the cs to provide a toll free No. He won't!
Who is the newly wedded Ronnie Kip whose wedding was attended by the President and First Lady?
The lavish wedding of Ronnie Kip and Terry Mwendwa at the Karen Blixen Museum has taken the internet by storm…..
It was attended by the President, ministers, celebrities, MPs, and basically the who’s who in the country.
But one question still lingers in many people’s minds: Who exactly is this Ronnie Kip?
Ronnie Kiprono, popularly known as Ronnie Kip or Ronnie Kemmey, is a Nairobi-based digital content creator, influencer, car enthusiast, and drag racer.
He is the son of the owner of Mass House (the popular high-end club in Nairobi).
Or maybe, you can listen to what George Ruto had to say about him a week ago!!
There’s big silent money in Rift Valley and when it whispers, even traffic jams listen. Yesterday Ronnie & Terry tied the knot with golden rope and escorted it with G-Wagons. Karen Blixen Museum turned into a full-blown VIP headquarters. Bogani Road looked like a UN summit had relocated there.
The convoy was pure Madness. G-Wagons everywhere like they were being issued for furiiii. The Uasin Gishu big boys pulled up looking like they accidentally drove out of a Forbes magazine cover. Now pale kwa buffet ndio mambo Ilikua mwejeje. The rich were not eating food, they were conducting marine research.
Sea food you’ve only seen on NatGeo was casually chilling next to nyama choma. Prawns looking at you with sanpanku eyes. Everything was there,, barbecue, perfectly grilled nyama choma and food plated like it had a degree from Harvard. The rich Dressed simple but still looked flashy.
No chaos, no shouting, no MC with kadunga moves. Just calm vibes, soft laughter, and people networking like LinkedIn had come to life. Even the alcohol bay area was still full at the end of the event. No bloggers, no TikTokers, no influencers onsite. Wote inje na hizo masimu zao za matakataka.
No wonder @HonAllanChesang who's my boy never invited me for his Koito. Nilionea kwa mtandao like the rest of you poor pipoos🥹. The rich don’t announce, they exist quietly and trend accidentally.
Then now enter the Walala Hoii Avengers. These are the ones who will first create a WhatsApp group Before love comes first. They’ll invite influencers, bloggers, TikTokers & basically anyone with a front camera and data bundles. The wedding becomes less about love and more about content creation with snacks.
The Outfits is always the Nigerian vibes. Music ni Zobu Zobu at full blast while Money is Being sprayed like it’s a scene from a Nollywood movie nobody fully understands. Pale kwa buffet you’re told it’s self service, but there’s a security guard disguised as a caterer standing next to the sufuria with strict instructions that it's One piece of chicken per citizen.
You find Chicken thighs cut into six pieces unashindwa kama ni kuku ama minced meat. You point at drumstick, they serve you imondoo. You point again, they add soup for confidence,, huwanga bad. Walala Hoiis are mixing food like it’s a science experiment.
Hakuna kitu wahakulangi kwa buffet. You find Watermelon on top of a wet fried chicken & pilau next to mukimo. Photography is Total anarchy. Everyone becomes a content creator. People jumping in front of the actual photographer bcoz their followers need the photos more than the couple.
When Cake time arrives, It turns into a survival game. People are packing slices like they’re preparing for famine. Unaskia this one is for my cousin who didn’t come. The Cousin lives in Kisumu but will somehow receive cake crumbs via faith. Ni urímu.
I've come to realize that in Rift Valley, money is just there,, quiet, unbothered, moisturized, and minding its generational business. No noise, no pressure, no fundraising posters. Just vibes, wealth, and people who don’t need to prove anything.
And for those ladies dreaming of marrying into wealth like Terry, let me land this plane gently. The rich don’t marry for potential, they marry for alignment. So as you’re ignoring that broke but genuine guy hoping for a miracle, just know somewhere, a rich family is also ignoring you with equal confidence,, chesaa! Kama kawa sisi walala hoii hatuna maoni, Letu Jicho tu.👀
