I give thanks to Almighty God for this humbling and historic milestone.
Today, A Comrade Forever!! is now at the Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church Runda along Kiambu Road.
Though not primarily a spiritual publication, it has received the approval of the Resident Priest, Fr. Calistus, to be considered for placement on the shelves of the Church library. I sincerely thank God, the Church, and Fr. Calistus for blessing this work and recognising its message of leadership, values, and comradeship.

Over the years, our societies have made commendable progress in empowering women and girls through education, leadership opportunities, economic inclusion, and advocacy. This progress has strengthened families, communities, and nations, and it should continue.
Yet, as we pursue equality, we must also pay attention to the realities facing many men and boys today.
Across the world, countless men are struggling with unemployment, economic pressure, declining educational attainment, identity crises, and mental health challenges. Society often teaches men to suppress pain, carry burdens alone, and equate vulnerability with weakness. Consequently, many suffer in silence.
Some develop unhealthy coping mechanisms withdrawal, emotional isolation, substance abuse, excessive work, gambling, anger, or disengagement from family and community life. Others simply give up on their ambitions and dreams because they feel overwhelmed, unsupported, or forgotten.
This should concern us all.
A society cannot flourish when half of its population is silently struggling. Empowering men does not diminish the empowerment of women. It complements it. Strong societies need empowered women and empowered men.
This Father's Day, I encourage every man to recommit himself to growth and purpose:
• Read quality books. Knowledge is power. Read widely on leadership, finance, history, governance, and personal development. Books such as The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Think and Grow Rich, The 48 Laws of Power, Atomic Habits, and A Comrade Forever remind us that growth begins in the mind.
• Invest in your education. Pursue another degree, a certification, a skill, or a professional course. The world rewards those who keep learning.
• Be ambitious. Dream beyond your circumstances. Your background should never limit your destination.
• Seek mentorship and build networks. No man succeeds entirely on his own. Surround yourself with people who challenge and inspire you.
• Prioritise your mental health. Speak when you are struggling. Seek guidance, counselling, and supportive communities. Strength is not the absence of pain; it is the courage to seek help.
• Take care of your body and character. Exercise, manage stress, avoid destructive habits, and cultivate discipline and integrity.
• Become economically productive. Pursue entrepreneurship, innovation, and meaningful work. Financial literacy and purposeful labour are essential pillars of dignity and stability.
Above all, never give up. History belongs to men and women who refused to surrender to adversity. Every setback carries within it the possibility of renewal and reinvention.
This Father's Day, let us raise a generation of men who are educated, ambitious, emotionally healthy, intellectually curious, and committed to lifelong learning.
Knowledge is power. Education is liberation. Ambition is fuel. Purpose is everything.
To every father and every man carrying visible and invisible responsibilities: your sacrifices matter, your wellbeing matters, and your future matters.
Happy Father's Day.
Growing up in my Village’ Rumbiye , within the St. Mathias Kalemba Mulumba Catholic Church sub-parish, community life was shaped by the presence of elders who reminded us who we were to them “Relatives” / Abekho!
Among them, Mzee Joseph Odipo stood out in a deeply personal way. He was not distant or reserved he was present. He would often reach our home without formality, always smiling whenever he saw us and offering greetings that carried comfort and dignity.
Those simple moments became part of my upbringing and understanding of community life.
He also played a vital role in organizing people, especially during moments when the community faced challenges such as burials and collective service.
Even after retiring from civil service, he continued to give himself fully to others, serving with humility and dedication.
To us, he was more than an elder; he was a council of wisdom in himself and a true embodiment of the Ababuri spirit rooted in unity, guidance, and care for others.
His passing is a deep loss to Rumbiye, to St. Mathias sub-parish, to the Ababuri clan, and to all who had the privilege of knowing him.
May God grant strength and comfort to his family and all who mourn him.
Rest in peace, Mzee. Your presence, your kindness, and your counsel will forever remain.
LEGACY IS THE GREATEST OFFICE A LEADER CAN HOLD .
Today, as the Obama Presidential Center opens its doors to the world, I am reminded that leadership is not defined by the years we spend in office but by what we leave behind after we have served.
As a former President of @MoiUniKenya - Students Organization (MUSO) and Chair of the University Presidents Council, I have come to appreciate that titles are temporary, but impact is permanent. I did not seek merely to occupy office; I sought to empower people, create opportunities, mentor young leaders, and build platforms that would outlive my tenure.
This belief is the heartbeat of my book, A Comrade Forever!! The book is a call to every leader across Africa and the world to understand that leadership is a lifelong responsibility. A true comrade never retires from service. A true leader remains committed to justice, mentorship, nation-building, and the empowerment of future generations long after the applause has faded and the office has ended.
The @BarackObama Presidential Center is not simply a museum; it is a living testament to the power of legacy. It is a reminder that the highest calling of leadership is to build institutions that educate, inspire, and empower others. I believe many African leaders should embrace this model of legacy-building. Instead of allowing retirement to become a season of political battles and divisions, it can become a season of investing in young people, preserving history, and deepening our love for our nations.
I have always admired the opening words of the United States Constitution: “WE THE PEOPLE” Those words affirm that leadership belongs to the people and that our duty is to leave society better than we found it.
Among American Presidents, two have profoundly inspired me: The late President Ronald Reagan Now remembered through The @RonaldReagan Presidential Foundation and Institute and Barack Obama.
President Ronald Reagan demonstrated the power of optimism, communication, and conviction. He taught the world that ideas and vision can shape nations.
President Barack Obama and @MichelleObama embodies hope and possibility. From community organizer to the first African-American President of the United States, and now through the Obama Presidential Center, he continues to invest in future generations and proves that the greatest leaders never stop building people.
On this historic day, I congratulate President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. May this center inspire leaders everywhere to think beyond power and positions and to focus instead on legacy, service, and humanity.
My prayer is that one day, when history remembers my journey, it will not remember me merely as a former student leader, but as someone who empowered people, built institutions, inspired a generation, and lived the message of A Comrade Forever!!:
True leadership never retires. True leadership reproduces itself in others. And a true comrade remains committed to serving humanity forever.
President Obama is a Comrade Forever!!
I was honoured to participate in the Pan-African Symposium on Logistics, Supply Chain and Strategic Business (PASCL)at the @uonbi , a timely and transformative platform that brought together scholars, industry experts, and innovators to deliberate on Africa's economic future.
In my remarks, I emphasized that Africa's transformation will not be achieved solely through political aspirations but through efficient logistics systems, resilient supply chains, strategic business leadership, and the deliberate empowerment of young people.
The future of our continent depends on our ability to connect markets, facilitate trade, embrace innovation, and develop leaders capable of responding to global economic shifts.
I further underscored the importance of investing in the next generation of African leaders by equipping them with practical skills, technological competencies, and a Pan-African mindset that prioritizes collaboration over competition and solutions over challenges.
As the Universities Student Leaders Association- (USLA), we remain committed to creating platforms that inspire young people to become architects of Africa's economic transformation and champions of sustainable development.
I commend the organizers of PASCL and the University of Nairobi for convening this important symposium and for fostering meaningful conversations that will shape the future of logistics, supply chain management, and strategic business across our continent.

Why do leaders still feel the need to move with goons when we already have police officers trained and mandated to provide security?
If we truly trust our institutions, then police should be the ones securing our leaders standing, saluting, and ensuring order so that leaders can freely meet citizens, listen, and leave peacefully.
It is painful to see situations where fear replaces trust, and intimidation replaces order. Leadership should not feel like a battlefield; it should feel like service.
At a time when many citizens are struggling and young people are holding onto their phones as their only real possession and connection to opportunity, no one should be made to feel unsafe or threatened in public spaces.
We need to return dignity to leadership, respect to our police service, and safety to our gatherings.
Kenya deserves calm, not fear.
CONTENT CREATORS ARE CREATED BY GOD COULD THEY BE CONTINUING WITH HIS WORK?
In the beginning, God created the world and then gave humanity the gift of creativity.
Every content creator carries a piece of that divine assignment to create, inspire, teach, entertain, preserve culture, and shape conversations.
Today, the global creator economy is valued at well over $250 billion and is projected to exceed $500 billion in the coming years. More than 200 million people worldwide identify as creators, and over 50 million pursue content creation professionally or semi-professionally.
This is not a hobby anymore; it is an economic force.
Think about it:
Nearly 90% of young people consume digital content every day.
More than 70% of consumers trust creators and online personalities more than traditional advertisements.
Millions of businesses depend on creators to tell their stories, market products, and influence purchasing decisions.
Without content creators, our world would be quieter, less informed, less inspired, and less connected. There would be fewer opportunities for small businesses, less documentation of our cultures and histories, and fewer voices amplifying social change.
The creative economy is not an accessory to development—it is a pillar of the future. It creates jobs, drives innovation, powers tourism, shapes public opinion, promotes education, and gives ordinary people extraordinary platforms to impact the world.
The future belongs to creators. Artificial Intelligence, virtual reality, digital storytelling, and immersive media will only increase the demand for authentic human creativity. The next generation of billion-dollar companies, global movements, and cultural revolutions will be built by people who dare to create.
So, never underestimate a content creator. They are modern-day storytellers, digital architects, community builders, and economic drivers.
Content creators are not wasting time online; they are building economies, preserving memories, influencing societies, and creating the future.
To create is to reflect the image of the Creator Himself. Keep creating. The world needs your voice.

MY FREE SUNDAY ADVICE TO ALL SINGLE MEN!
Especially @BillGates
You don’t get everything in one person. You choose and you accept.
If you choose a woman who stays home full-time, you choose stability in the home… and responsibility for everything outside it.
If you choose a career-driven woman, you choose ambition… and a life that won’t always revolve around you.
If you choose a submissive partner, you choose peace… but also a human being with her own voice, feelings, and limits.
If you choose a beautiful partner, you choose admiration… and the attention, effort, and expectations that come with it.
If you choose a soft-hearted lover, you choose deep love… and deep emotions too.
Nothing comes without a balance.
Love is not about finding a “perfect” person.
It’s about choosing a real one and respecting everything that comes with them.
Because maturity is not wanting less flaws…
It’s being able to handle the ones you choose.
The future belongs to leaders who are innovative, ethical, visionary, and prepared.
At USLA, we are developing the next generation of Leaders, economists, scientists, innovators, entrepreneurs, high-level diplomats, policymaker and business leaders.
