What will be mine will not pass me, and if it passes me, then it was never meant to be mine.

I'm a very independent woman but I have no desire dating someone who watches me do everything on my own.

[Kijana ya Misa🇰🇪 @kijana_misa]

Jeff Koinange is about to make some of us start watching the news again.😂

Jeff Koinange: Let me ask you this. Since you're opening up about this facility in Nanyuki, and given all the controversy surrounding it, would you allow Citizen TV to film there so Kenyans can see what it's really like? Or is it top secret?

CS Aden Duale: That's something you would need to write to me about.

Jeff: Come on, I'm asking you formally on live television.

Duale: For your own safety and public safety, access to all our facilities follows a procedure. We can facilitate a visit, but you would first need training and preparation to cover such a story.

Jeff: So when can we go? There's no ongoing operation right now. We can simply film the facility and show the country what's there.

Duale: I can take you to Kenyatta.

Jeff: I don't want to go to Kenyatta. I want to go to Nanyuki.

Duale: What's the difference between Kenyatta and Nanyuki?

Jeff: The facilities in Nanyuki are supposedly for the Americans and other foreigners.

Duale: They're not there.

Jeff: Then let me go and see for myself.

Duale: If you want to see how prepared our facilities are, you don't need to go very far. Just walk to Kenyatta.

Jeff: You're being very opaque.

Mercy is when you can't even explain how you're surviving, but you are. You don't have it all figured out, but each day, God sends help right when you need it. Hallelujah.

[Nelson Amenya @amenya_nelson]

Willingly accepting to import Ebola into your country has got to be most treasonous act ever done to a people by their leader in any country. This greed is too much.

[Ready to Reclaim Kenya #Resist 🇰🇪🇰🇪 ✊🏾✊🏾 @CarolmNyaga]

Dear Edwin, we can’t have the Senator of Nairobi tweeting like the rest of us while our literal lives are at stake, you are an elected official and act accordingly. File an urgent motion, take some action.
Act presidentially if you want to win our confidence.

[Nahashon Kimemia @NahashonKimemia]

Q: Would you like a Dangote oil refinery at the coast?
A: No, thank you. Take it to Tanzania.

Q: Would you like Ebola-infected Americans from the DRC?
A: Yes, please. Laikipia is available.

Do you see why we call him a madman? Si kwa ubaya. He is not normal. Kuna shida mahali.

[Yoko @Kibet_bull]

Ruto turned down Dangote’s oil refinery project in Mombasa and accepted the 207B Ebola Deal. That is how greedy your president is.

[KingstonGirl🍁 🇰🇪 @Lsankei99]

Man you hear another country say No to their deadly sick citizens landing in their country

Then here goes greedy, political prostitutes offering your country with a failed health care system like citizens in it don’t matter

All this with an active Parliament of 349 members

[FARAH OMAR 🇰🇪❤️ @OmarrFarah1]

1. Why turn freehold titles into leaseholds?
2. Why should I pay tax on land that I own and not selling or renting?
3. What gives government the right to auction off the property if taxes aren’t remitted over time?

Hii michezo ya land laws iishe. Our lands belong to us.

[Ali Zeck @AliBeckZeck]

My ex husband said to me a few years ago that my social media bio was “ridiculous,” saying I’m a survivor of domestic violence.

When I asked him why he said,

“Because I didn’t hit you our entire (27 year) marriage. You’re not a survivor of domestic violence.”

And ladies, that right there is how abusive men minimize harm—they define abuse by the worst thing they didn’t do.

“I didn’t hit you every day.”

“I never broke your bones.”

“I never put you in the hospital.”

“I only cheated.”

“I only lied.”

“I only screamed.”

“Lots of men do way worse.”

But domestic violence isn’t defined by whether a man hit you often enough to satisfy his own definition.

It includes coercive control, intimidation, threats, financial abuse, emotional abuse, psychological abuse, isolation, humiliation, betrayal and making a woman live in a state of fear, collapse, and survival.

And the person who abused me doesn’t get to define what I survived.

I am a survivor of domestic abuse.

I know for a fact I’m about to witness the days I prayed for.

I really like this saying

[Drugs Bunny @Monty_Hasashi]

We can't be showing up to protests from 10 to 5 like a fucking job and then taking a break for 1 week. Nepal pressed for days, watu mpaka wanaingia shifts. Either show up consistently, shut down businesses till the pressure is felt or sit down and shut up.

[Drugs Bunny @Monty_Hasashi]

Lmao sitokei. Let them raise the VAT to 120% for all I care. Kenyans don't want to be helped. They're easily corrupted. So what did last week's fuel hike protests achieve? Fucking NOTHING. If anything, the prices went even higher and people died. Miss me with that BS.

DCI officers waliendea Albert Ojwang uko ocha kabisa, lakini watu wanaiba watoto hawajui ni nani ama ni story za organ selling 😳😳

[Yoko @Kibet_bull]

Ruto ran away in Mandera when a balloon blasted. He stood still when a young man ran to him.

The script went wrong.

[Vionna @Kurlycheeks]

My fave Kenyanism word: Rada? Depending on the context it could mean WTF? It could mean “seriously?”. It could mean “what’s up?”. It could mean “the hell’s wrong with you?” And you can understand it by the tone someone uses when saying it, and I find it so beautiful.

[MEDUSA!👽🩷 @Prettdaisy]

I’m afraid we’re being outnumbered by the sheer number of foolish people in this country.
