A Congolese woman who teaches French at a Kenyan school says that Kenyans often take for granted the fact that, if city life fails, they can simply return to their village. She argues that this is a privilege many countries, especially her own, do not have.

She says that some villages in the DRC have no proper roads and are thousands of kilometres from the nearest city. She has only managed to visit her own village twice, and even then, the journey was made under the threat of armed groups. Most people take the first and last trip to the city .

Are Kenyans spoiled without even knowing it? In America, if you lose your job and have nowhere to go, you could end up sleeping under an expressway. In Kenya, many people can simply board a bus to their village, where they are likely to find free meals, accommodation, and the support of family.

Dr Julius Kipngetich advises men to outsmart their ever rising women.

Men are facing imense pressure from rising women in the society. Kipngetich has the following advice to men:

1. Increase knowledge by reading a book every week
2. On personal finance, save money and stop overspending in huge SUVs, emulate Chinese minimalist expenditure.
3. Generate more income by having more than one income source since women are earning more than men nowadays.
4. Farming maize when you're in Nairobi doesn't make economic sense. Invest in money market, bonds and treasury bills instead.
5. Don't overspend on relatives instead encourage them to develop their own revenue generating avenues.
6. Always be present, don't stay in pubs until 12AM. Kipngetich personallly gets home by 8pm daily.
7. Learn at least one sports activity, language and music instrument. For example, learn darts or chess or football, local languages such as Kikuyu, Luo or Kalenjin and perfect one music instrument like guitar or piano.
8. Go to church every Sunday, build your relationship with God.

The core of the matter is: keep rising as a man. Don't stagnate.

Can’t lie to you. If you don’t make a move, you will see literal clowns race past you. Clowns.

Nothing concern life with ‘I am a smart, educated, experienced person’.

You don’t act, you remain there.

[Leo | Phalanx Labs @SpartanPsyche]

Your brain has a tiny RAM. When you keep 7 half decisions in your head, your prefrontal cortex keeps refreshing them and you feel “busy” while doing nothing. Do a 2 minute capture dump on paper, then pick 1 next physical action. Your mind gets quiet fast.

A mentor once told me this: Reduce the amplitude of the wave. Never get too high on the wins. Never get too low on the losses. Emotional stability is the real cheat code for adapting to the inevitable uncertainty of life.

Say what you like about his politics, the U.S has blown the socks off everyone with how they've staged this

It's epic

O Metlife Stadium foi construído no estacionamento do Giants Stadium que foi o estádio de Nova York na Copa de 94.

The government is doing this one thing right. Godspeed! 🙏🏿 Having Dar Al-Handasah Consultants audit the work at every milestone is a solid step towards transparency and quality control.

[KERUI @anthony_kerui]

JKIA just got its engineer-consultant.
Kenya signed Dar Al-Handasah (world's #1 airport design firm, 300 airports across 6 continents) as engineer-consultant for the Ksh154.2B JKIA modernisation.
CRBC builds. Dar certifies design, cost, and quality against the contract.
Classic EPC + independent engineer split — the same discipline that keeps a construction claim honest anywhere in the world.
Target: 22M pax by 2045. New terminal. Airport City + SEZ on the cards.
Three years to delivery. Watch the certificates, not just the ribbon-cutting.

[Gary Vaynerchuk @garyvee]

It's not fucking high school anymore. 8 billion people need to change the conversation of what "success" looks like. It's not to make a billion dollars, it's to wake up in the morning and be in a good mood.

Everyone wants the confidence. Few are willing to endure the lonely moments that create it.

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

Enterprise sales is the same as a one call close. You just have to close ten people in a row until you eventual get to the decision maker.

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

Be broad in your education, but focused in your execution.

The next time you see Greenpeace set up outside a Kenyan mall, politely ask them why they are anti-human development.

Calling it a ‘side hustle’ is just a modern way to protect your ego if you fail.

[Dr. Eng. John Mativo CP³P @MativoMJohn]

In 2012, a “group of people” strongly opposed the 1000km 500kV Ethiopia-Kenya electricity transmission line in forums held in Nairobi and New York. They argued the line “facilitates the controversial Gibe III Dam, which drastically alters the Omo River's natural flow” and threatens the livelihoods of over 300,000 Indigenous people causing “Environmental Devastation”.

FACTS
1. Gibe III Dam was completed in 2016.
2. In December 2021, the transmission line was completed.
3. Lake Turkana has experienced significant flooding and a sustained rise in water levels since 2019, inundating villages, roads, schools, grazing land, and fishing infrastructure along its shoreline.

🤔🧐🤨🤔 Sad thing is the people have now gone “nil by mouth” 😆and have no response to nature causing floods instead.
