Someone checks into their tiny bedsitter after a gruelling 12 hour work day to siaga ugali and some beans then for 15 minutes with the little data they can afford doomscrolls on IG watching how the other half down sushi and dimsum at Inti or dance and shot the night away @ Ciel.

Think of someone living in Ungwaro,Kangemi, Donholm watching Instastories of Kilimani/Kileleshwa folk/influencers living in a totally different reality than they are....

[OK Then @okaythenfuture]

The desire is strongest exactly in middle income cities like Casablanca, Santo Domingo, Nairobi, Beirut, etc, etc

You’re close to seeing how your local elite live and you feel so far from it, but you also see how your diaspora’s class that comes home annually lives as well.

It creates massive resentment and massive desire.

This politics of envy is the biggest force in global business and politics now.

Which destinations are you visiting this year?

I believe you cannot love what you've never seen. You cannot defend what you've never touched. And you cannot tell the world your country is beautiful on rumors.

Go out there and explore this beautiful world God gave us🌍❤️

[Ambitious Llama🦙 @MusingsofAwe]

Americans in the comments disagree. But you can take your kid to Brookhouse or Turi in Kenya for $30k a year boarding school. They'll meet elite from all over East Africa & still be prepared enough for a top American or British university.

I am very bullish some parts of Africa long-term

While Europe, the U.S. and the Middle East are hurling missiles at each other and destroying infrastructure, Africa is building.

1. A $25 Billion gas pipeline from Nigeria to Morocco / Spain has just been announced with access for all countries along the coast.

Cheaper and readily available energy for all. Construction is to start from 2028, but obviously delays can be expected.

2. Two weeks ago while I was doing research on land and Swahili stones houses on Lamu Island in northern Kenya, big news was announced.
Africa’s richest man proposed to build 700,000 bpd oil refinery in Kenya.

This is huge. Kenya keeps firing on all cylinders.

Kenya will keep growing and gaining importance as East Africa's hub and increasingly as Africa's prime investment destination for corporations to set up their Africa operations.

I spent most of my twenties in Africa, and I intend to allocate a significant share of my future decades to the continent to capture such growth.

As part of this strategy I just bought a lifestyle 3-bedroom 3-bathroom apartment for my family in one of Nairobi's best neighborhoods.

Real estate in Nairobi is the cheapest livable capital city real estate that I can think of.

I paid $115,000 for a large 3-bed, 3-bath apartment with a rooftop heated swimming pool, a restaurant, a co-working space, kids area, parking, sauna, etc with a 2.5 year payment plan.

The value for money is amazing. There are even one-bedroom apartments starting from $46,000. This pre-construction deal won't last forever.

In the video below I compare 4 projects I considered investing in. 👇

Africa is not perfect

I can already imagine some among my followers gleefully snickering the next time something bad happens in Kenya.

Will there be issues and violence during protests or elections? Sure.

Will the country at some point require some sort of IMF bailout? Almost certainly.

Will the country get hit hard if there is an energy crisis driven by all the crazy people? Absolutely.

But guess what, the country's march forward is unstoppable; two steps forward for every step back.

The new CJ’s in Lavington, Nairobi spans two levels, comes with elevators, and has plenty of parking space.

This marks the brand’s 9th branch in Kenya, meaning it now has more outlets here than it does in Uganda, where the company originally started.

Whisky, Watches, and Fine Art Fuel the Explosive New Passions of Kenya's Super Rich
A new report by Knight Frank says Kenya’s ultra-wealthy population is exploding, with dollar millionaires projected to surge by 20% in 2026. This rapid wealth creation is driving a dramatic shift toward highly novel "passion investments."
±Watches Dethrone Cars: Discretion is the new luxury. High-end watches have officially overtaken classic cars as a favourite asset, prized for their liquidity and stealth wealth preservation.
±Art & Spirits: Art remains the ultimate cultural status symbol, while rare whisky and fine wine are soaring in popularity.
±Next-Gen Sectors: The Kenyan elite are rapidly diversifying into highly modern frontiers, pouring capital into data centres, hotels, farmland, and rental residential spaces.
±Unusual Loyalty: Strikingly defying global trends, Kenya's super-rich reject alternative passports, choosing to stay fiercely local.
