24-year-old Anthony Omari single-handedly fought off six machete-wielding armed intruders to protect 37 sleeping orphans at the Faraja Children's Home in Ngong, Kenya, an orphanage he ran with his mother, Martha Bosire.
It was the fourth break-in that month. When Omari woke up to find the thieves in his bedroom, he grabbed a hammer he kept under his bed and charged at them, driving the group outside. As he turned back to calm the frightened children, one of the attackers struck him across the face with a machete.
Despite the devastating wound, Omari managed to lock the front door before collapsing. He required 11 stitches and was left with a prominent scar running from his forehead down his cheek. After just two days in the hospital, he returned to the orphanage, refusing to leave the children vulnerable any longer.
The story went viral after a Reddit post appealed for help. In a remarkable outpouring of generosity, more than 3,600 donors from all 50 U.S. states and 46 countries raised over $80,000. The funds were used to install a new security fence, hire guards, buy proper beds (the children had been sleeping on the floor), and cover other essential needs.
Today, Anthony Omari holds a civil engineering degree, runs his own construction company, and continues to regularly visit and support the children at Faraja Children’s Home.
KENYANS, PLEASE HELP US FIND BRIAN MUGAMBI MURETHI.
I have sat for over an hour thinking about Brian Mugambi Murethi and what his family has been going through since Tuesday, 28th July 2026.
Brian is only 29 years old. He is a husband, a father to a beautiful two-year-old daughter, and the proprietor of Meru Sports House, a branding company.
On that fateful day, Brian was in Nairobi to receive his cargo.
He later proceeded along Thika Road and, according to the family, his last known interaction was with Eric Kabi, whom he had dropped at KU, around the China Square KU area.
Since then, Brian has disappeared. His phone is switched off.
His car, KDL 586R, has not been found. His family has been searching, praying, calling and hoping for a miracle.
Behind every missing person is a family slowly breaking.
His mother, Agnes Kiene Murethi, is living through every parent's nightmare.
His father, Japheth Murithi, is desperately waiting for his firstborn son to come home. His wife is waiting. His two-year-old daughter is waiting.
And somewhere, someone knows something.
To whoever may have Brian, please listen to the cry of a mother and the innocence of a two-year-old child.
If this is about money, debt, a business dispute or anything else, there are ways to resolve such matters without destroying a family.
Take the car.
Take the money.
Take whatever property you think you are owed but please, spare Brian.
Let him come home alive.
And to Kenyans: this cannot be another missing-person story that disappears from our timelines after 24 hours.
If you saw KDL 586R along Thika Road or anywhere in Nairobi on or after 28th July, speak up.
If you saw Brian, speak up.
If you know something however small tell the family or the authorities.
Do not wait for someone else to speak.
Let us become Brian's voice while his family searches for him.
Share this widely. Put pressure on the authorities to investigate every lead. Help this family find answers.
Brian must come home. Alive.

The race for; iridium, gallium, tantalum, beryllium, germanium, coltan, lithium, uranium, titanium, niobium, gold, manganese, tungsten, nickel, rubies, oil and gas, will be either what wakes up Kenyans, or finally breaks our fatherland.
We are a few steps away from being a superpower or being a failed state.
The current crop of leaders cannot usher in a golden age for our sacres land.
So I ask, to what end shall we be herded into poverty, enslavement to imperialism, indebted to international banking cartels and a dark future?
We have never known true sovereignty.
Our republic is still a colony of the British Crown.
Laikipia for example, even though it's endowed with trillions of dollars worth of precious metals, is owned by English lords, and registered in the United Kingdom- Laikipia Limited.
Our mineral wealth is also owned by the Crown, via World Bank.
Not a single gram of rare earths is touched without permission from The City of London.
Cue, Jacob Juma, he 'discovered' Niobium worth $300B in Mrima Hill, Kwale County, but only disclosed a third of the mineral wealth, $100B.
Why?
Because the two-thirds remainder would be owned by British/Scottish mining companies Cortec Mining Co and Stirling.
He was murdered by Kenya's excellent thugs; all of them not just PRESIDENT EBOLA.
In Turkana they discovered oil worth about $44B in Ngamia 1.
Then they did extra radar scans around Lodwar and discovered;
1. A fresh water aquiffer that had enough water to be supplied to all Kenyans, non-stop for 70 years.
It'd support irrigation and household utility and usher an agricultural boom.
Then an organization called the IDLO was involved and within 48hrs, Kenya's minister of water came out and declared the water saline and too expensive to desalinate, even though it was initially announced as fresh water.
Why?
The second discovery is.
2. Oil worth over $250B in only 4 wells.
Underline only.
Those who studied stratigraphy know we have more oil than Venezuela's $33 Trillion but that is a story for another day.
Yes, you heard that right.
Back to the 4 wells;
Tullows, a London registered oil corporation, the same one that had won the tender for Ngamia 1, claimed they couldn't extract the oil.
Because...they didn't have the technology.
Immediately after, Kenyan excellent thugs, rushed to privatise the land.
A firm allied to Moses Wetangula managed to privatise the land, endowed with two hundred and fifty billion dollars for only eight hundred and forty million Kenyan shillings.
A few years later, Tullows allowed for a subsidiary to be registered, Gulf Energy, majority owned by Kenya's political class.
And finally, they are extracting the oil.
They have the technology.
When the quest for independence grew and became uncontrollable, British government rushed to do geological surveys of Kenya.
To map mineral formations and endowment.
They discovered that our land had over 970 minerals, all economically viable.
So to hide them, they declared reserve concentration points as national parks, national reserves, animal sanctuaries, conservancies and forests.
Get it?
They don't care for the baby elephants, it's what the cute jumbo helps them conceal.
Economic freedom, absolute liberty and sovereignty won't be restored by digital anger.
I beseech you, take this fight for your livelihoods to the streets.
The streets is where they can't control you.
Non-stop mass action.
Mothers, fathers, children and the youth in the frontline.
It'd take you 30 minutes to get back your power.
Article one of the CoK clearly stipulates you can administer yourselves directly too.
Get up off your knees, let's get free.
Homeland✊🏿🇰🇪✊🏿

Cecilia Wanjiku didn’t freeze.
She was a Form Four student, and she refused to think of herself first.
She kept rushing back into the burning building — steadying girls, shouting directions, and helping them push through the blinding heat and fumes.
Using every bit of strength she had, she woke up dozing classmates, held their wrists firmly, supported the ones stumbling, and led them toward any opening she could spot in the thick darkness.
“Get moving! Flames everywhere! Stay with me! Faster!” her calls reportedly rang out above the noise.
She managed to bring out many girls from that deadly trap before the fire finally took its toll. Cecilia came out having poured everything into saving others, only to succumb later from the injuries she suffered.
On May 28, 2026, Cecilia left us as a true hero. Her actions turned sheer panic into a powerful tale of putting lives above her own.
It was meant to be an ordinary night in a term packed with hopes and routines.
At Utumishi Girls Academy in Gilgil, girls from different parts of the country had settled in with big ambitions — future medics, engineers, researchers, and community shapers. Cecilia Wanjiku stood out among them, a sharp NGCDF scholar raised in Kambi Somali, full of promise that lit up every space she entered.
Her journey had always been marked by hard work. She posted a strong 399 in KCPE at Gilgil Highway Primary, securing spots first at Karima Girls then moving to Utumishi. Once there, she became the standout in science classes. Her grades stayed impressive term after term, rarely slipping under a solid B+ average. She lived and breathed her studies, and just recently earned selection to showcase her skills at a major biology event at Amref University coming up on June 6. Those close to her could already picture her going far.
She credited much of her growth to the steady hand of her biology teacher, Mr. Joseph Karanja, who offered real support and direction that helped her talents grow stronger.
Yet that night, everything changed in the dorm. Heavy fumes spread fast, making it hard to breathe or see clearly. Terrified students scrambled in confusion, calling out desperately. The fire swept through quickly, claiming 16 young lives and hurting dozens more — some badly scorched, others taken to nearby facilities for immediate help.
Fellow students remember how Cecilia stayed calm when it mattered most. She kept going back to direct scared friends to safer spots, lifted spirits with firm words, lent a hand to the smaller ones struggling, and wouldn’t step away until she’d done all she could. In those last minutes, she placed her friends’ chances ahead of her own.
The numbers from the tragedy hit hard as more details emerged. Over 70 girls needed hospital care, with parents arriving in shock and the whole area gripped by sorrow. The country has come together in grief, with officials and locals offering support where needed.
Notably, a team from Pembroke School stepped in with compassion, providing free meals to parents, guardians, visitors, staff, and the school community gathered at Utumishi Girls Academy amid the chaos and mourning.
Probes into what sparked the fire continue.
Cecilia’s sharp mind, kind heart, and final brave stand touched everyone around her. She represented the finest qualities in a young Kenyan — gifted, bold, and ready to lift others.
Our deepest sympathies go to her mother Elizabeth Wanjiru and all the family bearing this heavy burden. May the Lord give them endurance, solace, and calm through the hard times ahead.
May Cecilia Wanjiku rest peacefully forever. Her time here was brief, but the example she set through bravery and dedication will keep motivating others long into the future.
RIP the young souls lost at Utumishi Girls Academy dorm.
🕊️ Cecilia Wanjiku and the 15 other students taken that night.
Scripted with love and remembrance of Cecilia Wanjiku
We must really strongly condemn and refuse the entry of any Ebola patients into our borders … if a super power with all its resources is refusing its own citizens back who are we to accept them through our borders ?
What is life Anyway? Elizabeth Njoki is 21 years old. She was born and raised in Nakuru by a banker father and a businesswoman mother. Her father built a 12-bedroom mansion and owned two cars while her mother ran a boutique. Life was comfortable until she was 12, when her father was diagnosed with cancer and diabetes. He died a month later.
Two weeks after the burial, her father's two brothers showed up and kicked the family out of their own home. They took the cars and the boutique, claiming everything belonged to their late brother. The family had nowhere to go.
They were taken in by a friend of her mother for two weeks. They then moved to Naivasha where another friend helped her mother find a job to provide for the children. The children went back to school and tried to accept their new reality.
After some time, the mother fell into depression and nearly lost her mind. Together with a friend, Njoki helped take her to Mathare Hospital where she was admitted. With her mother gone, Njoki dropped out of school and started doing casual jobs to buy food for her three siblings.
Her mother eventually got better and was discharged from hospital with help from the area MCA. Despite everything, Njoki managed to score 378 marks in her KCSE and a Good Samaritan paid for her entire secondary education.
But in Form Three, her mother's condition worsened again. She started disappearing for days at a time before returning home. Without her knowledge, some men took advantage of her situation and she came back pregnant. Njoki once again had to leave school and look for casual jobs to keep the family fed. Her mother later gave birth to their fifth child.
When they could not pay rent, the landlord locked them out with all their belongings still inside. A family friend then relocated them to their rural home in Kinangop to live with their grandmother. Things stabilised for a while. The children went back to school and Njoki adapted to a life of casual work because her mother's mental health kept deteriorating.
Their grandmother died in 2024 and they were kicked out of that home too. Njoki used her savings to rent a single room and life went on.
In June last year, Njoki collapsed and was rushed to hospital by a neighbour after she was found bleeding. Doctors discovered she had fibroids in her uterus requiring urgent surgery, or the uterus would have to be removed entirely to stop the bleeding. She could not raise the 80,000 shillings needed for the operation and continued living with the daily bleeding.
She was trying to manage her own condition, care for her mentally unstable mother, provide for the younger children and pay rent all at once. It became too much. The landlord kicked them out again and a neighbour took them in.
Then in August last year, their second born son was involved in an accident and died on the spot. Njoki went to the area chief who helped organise a simple burial within two days at a public cemetery in Longonot. Only a handful of people attended. Their mother was absent.
Njoki scored a B plus in KCSE. She had the grades to build a future for herself. Instead she chose to stay behind and hold her family together. Today she lives on hope alone, trusting that God will find a way through.
