On the 5Ms of Masculinity,
The fourth M is MATERIAL.
A man must own something.
• Land.
• Tools.
• Livestock.
• A business.
• Intellectual property.
Assets give options, liabilities take them away.
Therefore, stop consuming and start producing.
Start acquiring.
#ManDay
On the 5Ms of Masculinity,
The third M is MEN.
These are your MENTORS,
No man becomes great alone.
Every man stands on the shoulders of mentors, brothers, teachers, and networks.
Your network directly influences your future.
Iron sharpens iron.
Men build men.
#ManDay
On the 5Ms of Masculinity,
The second M is THE MUSCLE.
Your body is the vehicle carrying your mission.
A weak body limits a strong mind, and a strong body fuels it.
• Walk daily.
• Lift 3-4 times a week.
• Fast daily.
• Eat a nutrient-dense diet
• Sleep adequately
Your physical health is your masculine responsibility.
#ManDay
On the 5Ms of Masculinity,
The first M is THE MINDSET.
Before you create wealth, there is thinking.
It is called TIPS:
• Thought
• Ideas
• Purpose
• Systems
Without a structural mindset, you will not identify your TIPS.
A weak mindset turns opportunities into excuses while a strong mindset turns obstacles into assignments.
If you win the mind, the rest follows.
#ManDay
Your value as a man is measured by 5 important pillars.
Your value stands on a masculine foundation that holds 5 pillars.
These 5 pillars are the 5M's of Masculinity:
• MINDSET
• MUSCLE
• MEN
• MATERIAL
• MONEY
If you remove one, the structure will weaken.
#ManDay
On the 5Ms of Masculinity,
The last, and the fifth M is MONEY.
Money is feminine,
Just like a woman, it is attracted by Masculine Usefulness.
Money is stored labour, stored discipline and stored value.
M1 + M2 +M3 +M4 = M5
If you chase M5 without building the first 4Ms, you will collapse.
The marketplace rewards useful men.
Become valuable, and money will follow and stick with you.
#ManDay.
Let me tell you something,
SAVE A MAN, ONCE.
If he doesn't show commitment to be saved, abandon him.
There is a spiritual reason why he is suffering.
Most men living insufferable lives deserve it.
No matter how hard you try to show him the keys that will open the doors of freedom, he will not pick them.
First, they will ignore you,
Then, they will mock you,
Then, they will laugh at you,
Then, they will betray you,
Then, they will fight you,
Then, YOU WIN.
Keep going. Refuse to be distracted.
State House Spokesperson Hussein Mohamed has deleted his post after social media users mocked the press release for naming the Japanese Prime Minister wrongly.
In the deleted statement, State House said President Ruto would meet Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba at the G7 Summit, only for Kenyans to point out that Japan’s current Prime Minister is Sanae Takaichi.
A whole State House communication machine, with staff, budgets and advisers, still cannot issue a simple international press release without embarrassing the country.
In summary,
On the 5Ms of Masculinity,
• Mindset will give you direction.
• Muscle will give you mental and physical strength.
• Men, mentors, and brotherhood will give you wisdom.
• Material will give you options and security.
• Money will sum up the value of your usefulness in this world.
Build your 5Ms patiently, protect them fiercely and pass them to the next generation.

Most people around you want you to fail,
They expect that when you fail,
• You will join them in their miserable lives,
Or,
• They will inherit your position so that they can succeed like you.
But if you don't meet their expectations of failure, they become even angrier and more hateful towards you for no reason,
Your growth and progress annoy them when you refuse to be the failure they expect.
Your discipline and determination to succeed angers them.
They will even become vengeful when you refuse to listen to their mockery and insults.
Such people cannot go far in life,
They will remain insufferable,
They will remain stagnant because their minds are full of mould as a result of jealousy, and their hearts are coated with thick black soot due to unnecessary hate towards a person who is just minding his business and has not done anything wrong towards them.
The only mistake you made is that you chose to pursue your purpose with discipline, order and consistency.
That is what irks them.
Refuse to accept their mockery and insults.
Focus.
In the end, you will win.
BONE MARROW is nutrient-dense.
The modern food industry has convinced people that health comes from brightly colored packages, protein bars, fortified cereals, and supplements.
When hunters made a kill, the marrow was never discarded. It was considered a valuable source of nourishment.
The deepest nutrition is often hidden inside the animal.
Bone marrow contains:
• Healthy fats.
• Collagen-building nutrients.
• Amino acids.
• Fat-soluble vitamins.
• Trace minerals that support recovery, immunity, hormone production, and overall vitality.
For men engaged in hard physical work, intense training, or recovery from illness, bone marrow provides dense ketogenic calories and nutrients in a highly absorbable form.
People nowadays spend thousands searching for energy while eating foods that leave them hungry, inflamed, and exhausted.
Then they wonder why their bodies are breaking down.
If you value your nutrition, eat nutrient-dense traditional foods.

Wild-caught fish vs farmed fish:
Farmed fish are fed grain.
Grain-fed fish have high omega-6 and low omega-3.
Farmed fish, sold in supermarkets, is dyed pink to look like wild fish, just the same way they do with beef and mutton.
Wild-caught fish from our rivers, lakes and oceans eat their natural diet.
• Aquatic insects,
• Microscopic plankton,
• Algae like Spirulina,
• Smaller fish
Therefore, they have the natural omega-3 fat that you are eating in fish.
Mackerel, sardines, and tilapia from rivulets, rivers, lakes and oceans are accessible and nourishing.
Knowing the source of the fish you are eating is important for your nutritional profile.
But, be careful with ocean fish, because our oceans are heavily polluted with microplastics and industrially produced toxic wastes.

Cow foot soup, also known as KIGERE or MLOKONI, is one of the most nutritious traditional broths.
Before collagen powders were sold in fancy containers, our grandparents were drinking KIGERE.
When most people see the hoof, they walk away!
The tendons, cartilage, ligaments, skin, and connective tissues in the cow's foot are rich in collagen, gelatin and calcium.
When cooked, these compounds dissolve into the soup, creating a thick, nourishing broth.
Cow hoof soup is traditionally given to recovering patients, postpartum mothers, babies and the elderly.
Collagen and gelatin provide amino acids that support the repair of joints, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, skin, and connective tissues throughout the body.
For men whose knees crack when climbing stairs, whose backs ache after a long day, or whose recovery after exercise takes longer, then kigere is the traditional broth for healing and recovery.

One of the most underrated foods in traditional African nutrition is OX TAIL SOUP.
We buy expensive, yet useless supplements, protein powders, collagen drinks, and laboratory-made products while ignoring foods our grandfathers ate regularly.
OX TAIL is rich in collagen, gelatin, amino acids, minerals, and healthy fats.
• The gelatin supports joint health.
• The collagen supports connective tissues, tendons, ligaments, skin, and blood vessels.
• The amino acids, especially glycine, support sleep, recovery, and tissue repair.
For men above 35, whose joints ache after exercise or whose backs hurt after long hours of work, or who are recovering from illness, ox tail soup is the preferred medicine for healing and recovery.
Ox tail soup is also good for Mothers who have just given birth and are just about to breastfeed colostrum to the newborn.
Babies who have just started weaning should be given Ox tail soup in plenty.
Our ageing parents don't need calcium supplements, they need nutrient-dense foods like the ox tail soup.
The strongest men in history did not build themselves on processed foods.
They built themselves on nutrient-dense traditional foods.
Sometimes the solution is not in a pharmacy, it is in our kitchen.
