"Why do Americans think that their lives are more important than the lives of Kenyans?"
My CNN report on the public opposition to an Ebola isolation facility for Americans in Kenya
I know for a fact that we’re going to be doing a lot of celebrating in 2026… Eyes haven’t seen and ears haven’t heard what God has planned for us in 2026.

Let’s pray:
Heavenly Father, thank You for bringing me to another Sunday.
Thank You for unseen protection, quiet provision, and mercies I overlooked.
You’ve been faithful even in moments I doubted. Today, I open my heart wide.
Let this day reset my spirit.
Let this day wash away the dust of worry and clothe me in peace.
Let this day remind me: I am loved, I am chosen, I am kept.
God, breathe fresh vision into me today.
If I’ve been walking in circles, set my feet on Your path.
If I’ve been drained, fill me again with strength.
If I’ve been anxious, anchor me with Your perfect peace. Every evil altar raised against me, catch fire now!
Every tongue speaking against me, be silenced forever!
Every plot to distract me, scatter in the name of Jesus! Father, I cry. Amen.
A Kenyan has been abducted in Tanzania. Again.
Family has confirmed that Mwabili Mwagodi, who is a Kenyan activist and was vocal against church donations, was abducted in Tanzania on Wednesday.
It seems @SuluhuSamia and her government are working round the clock to target Kenyan activists.
#FreeMwabiliMwagodi

Rape is actually the ultimate form of abuse you can ever do to someone 💔
It takes away their dignity,self esteem, everything they've ever built brick to https://t.co/SKa5Jbc8kU make it worse,it's being done to women who are fighting this rogue regime.💔💔
My heart is broken 💔
We now demand the regime shuts down, makes way for a reset to the rule of law and accountability; a restoration to the values respecting human life; and a rebuilding of our nation's institutions that now point towards State failure #ThePeopleShall#ResetRebuildRestore
After The UK Visa Application Center in Westlands, Nairobi gave their word that a Senior Representative will address the issues and assure Kenyans of Better treatment, (refer to my previous posts) this is the bullshit they’ve come up with 😳, and since I have time, we will unpack their statement one by one
Unprecedented demand = We’re overwhelmed, but we won’t take accountability.
They’re using “unprecedented demand” as a blanket excuse to deflect from poor planning, poor facilities, and poor treatment. Demand doesn’t excuse people standing in the heat, being misinformed, or forced into paying for VIP services to receive basic dignity.
Creating a more comfortable customer journey= Corporate gaslighting.
They want to sound like they’re solving the issue without actually acknowledging what the issue is,exploitation and systemic disregard. There’s no apology. No mention of how people are being mistreated. No recognition of the premium service coercion.
Expanding our waiting area= A vague promise, no timeline.
What does “expanding” even mean? Are you building shade? Chairs? Indoor space?
Where? When? How soon? Zero transparency.
Blaming customers for traffic issues = Deflection
Instead of taking responsibility for poor logistics and lack of infrastructure (like no parking), they’re pointing fingers at applicants. A classic trick: blame the victim to distract from your own failures.
Visit no earlier than 15 mins before your appointment” = Shifting burden to applicants.
This instruction would almost make sense… if your system worked efficiently. But when people show up at their allotted time and still face long waits, poor directions, or last-minute changes, this rule just becomes another way to dismiss complaints.
Only customers allowed inside= Security theater.
This policy is routinely used to keep families, elderly people, or those needing assistance outside in the heat. They say it’s for security, but it’s really about control and minimizing service obligations.
Courier return service= Another upsell.
They’re pushing paid alternatives (like courier return) instead of just fixing the issues at the centre. More money for basic respect.
@VFSGlobal , you either do what you are supposed to do or leave this country. Treating Kenyans with respect is not something we will beg for
And the fact that they do not have their contacts anywhere so you can walk in for inquiries and pay exorbitant fees!!
And multiple visa denials poking holes into evidence they asked for. Glad someone spoke up!
The UK Visa Application Centre (VFS Global) in Westlands, Nairobi, is a masterclass in modern day exploitation.
Kenyans pay hundreds of dollars, wait in the sun, get misinformed, and walk away feeling less human. The new venue at Principal Place (yes, they left 9West) has no proper waiting area and no parking. This is by design to have you pay 17K for their VIP/Premium “services “
If you’re not paying for premium services, you’re left outside in the heat, on the pavement. Elderly people, parents with kids, students, all treated like a security threat
Their Communication is Trash. You get vague emails like “your passport is ready for collection ” only to be turned away and told “collection is from 2pm to 5pm, (you can easily indicate that on the same damn email) That means if you show up at 10am, you’ll have to wait till 2pm or you can easily pay the 17K to be attended to quickly.. ?? EXPLOITATION
No clear timeline. No courtesy. You’re meant to guess your way through it.
These centers aren’t run by embassies, they’re outsourced to private companies who monetize your desperation. It’s a business, not a service.
And guess what? No refund if your visa is denied(familiar?)
The worst part? This is normalized.
We’ve accepted that applying for a visa means surrendering your dignity just to maybe be allowed into a country that benefits from our labor, money, and talent.
If Global North countries want to charge Africans these high fees and accord them zero dignity , the bare minimum should be basic human respect. Decent waiting areas. Transparent timelines and Fair communication.
This isn’t about security. It’s about power and exploitation…
This system needs to be called out and changed.
And it’s time African governments started protecting their citizens from this daylight exploitation.
