1974 was the year the Rubik’s Cube was invented, the Rumble in the Jungle took place and also the last time the Democratic Republic of Congo were at the World Cup. Now, as they prepare to face Portugal, they are hoping to shake off the ghost of that disastrous campaign.

Sesudah laga Piala Dunia melawan Selandia Baru yang berakhir imbang dengan skor 2-2, timnas Iran harus terbang kembali ke Meksiko, karena pemerintah AS gak mengizinkan pemain maupun ofisial timnas Iran untuk tinggal di AS selama Piala Dunia berlangsung, meskipun seluruh laga Iran akan dimainkan di AS...
Kalo FIFA konsisten, AS seharusnya dicoret sebagai salah satu negara penyelenggara Piala Dunia 2026... 🤔
I received an email from KRA informing me that a supplier of mine owes them money. This is none of my business but the KRA is saying I should now not pay the supplier but pay them directly.
There's no court order. They have just decided.
This is how shylocks operate.
and if you were like me a few years ago and feel too brain rotted to do an hour.
start with a 15 minute timer.
everytime your brain wants to pick your phone up or switch to something over stimulating. take a breath, acknowledge the urge, and focus back to your task.
do this again and again until the timer is up.
this is how you train your brain to focus for long amounts of time.
pretty shitty how baseline human activities like singing, dancing and making art got turned into skills instead of being seen as behaviors
so now it's like 'the point of doing them is to get good at them' and not 'this is a thing humans do, the way birds sing and bees make hives.
In a statement on June 9, 2026, Hillary Clinton criticized the denial of entry to Somali referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan, arguing that preventing World Cup officials from entering the United States to perform their duties was counterproductive and contrary to the purpose of international sporting events
#HomeOfHardTruths
I was born a girl. Into a world that works tirelessly to reduce my human experience into a neat little box, defined only by its own narrow terms. A world where my safety isn’t prioritized, and when I dare to speak up, I’m reminded of that box I’m supposed to quietly and submissively retreat into. Staying quiet has always been the easy way out. No one questions your experience then, no one blames you for the anger and courage it took to speak out, no one points at your physical attributes to determine if you were ‘worth’ attracting unwarranted sexual advances.

KRA wants a share of dowry money.
There is a guy called Kamau.
When it was time to buy his wife, he mobilized his most monied buddies.
He put them in a WhatsApp group. The fundraising began.
Those boys were loaded. They were only 35.
By by the time they were done, they had contributed 4.5 million shillings.
Others who were not in the group wired money directly to Kamau's bank account.
The ruracio D-Day arrived.
And as always, the one and only Kikuyu ruracio anthem was tuned.
🎶 Wero... Werokamu guku kwa wa Kanini... Werokamu... 🎶
Before they could finish the song, more than 2,000 people had pulled up.
Wakaanza kutoa funjo. Then one man stood on a stool and announced they could not sit until they had given Kamau top up money to add to the dowry.
The donation book was hurriedly brought. People lined up. Cash started flowing.
By the end of the day, another 2.8 million shillings had been raised.
Kamau took the money and banked it.
Total dowry contribution sitting at his bank account: 8m shillings.
The ceremony became the talk of Gatundu South.
Kamau paid his dowry. Collected his wife. And went home peacefully.
• Lesson 1. Monied friends are good for paying dowry.
I have no clue how. But sometime later, Kamau was marked for a KRA tax audit.
KRA went straight for his bank statements. They found deposits of 8 million shillings.
Immediately, they baptized the entire amount as undeclared taxable income.
Then demanded: 30% income tax. Penalties plus interest.
Total bill: 2.5 million shillings plus.
When Kamau saw the tax bill, he went mad.
He could try to talk but words would not come out. He nearly swallowed his tongue.
When he came back to real life. He shipped a protest letter to KRA.
He explained the money was dowry contribution from his family, friends and well wishers.
- He produced WhatsApp group fundraising screenshots.
- He produced RTGS confirmations.
- He produced the donation book.
- He even produced videos of the ceremony.
Including footage of the Werokamu song.
KRA could not hear any of it. They only wanted 2.5 million.
When Kamau realized KRA was not playing, he ran to court.
He told the Tribunal:
- My lord, look. I have shown KRA where the money came from.
- I have shown KRA who contributed it.
- I have shown KRA the ceremony.
- What more do they want from me?
KRA responded.
And what they said nearly made the judges fall off their chairs.
They argued the evidence was not convincing.
Why?
• Because the 2,000 plus donors had not sworn affidavits confirming that the money they gave was a donation and not payment for goods or services.
The Tribunal looked at the matter in amusement.
Then ruled.
- Kamau had discharged his burden of proof in full.
- KRA had acted unreasonably by ignoring and disregarding the substantial evidence he provided.
- And most importantly: Income tax is a tax on income. It is not a tax on every deposit appearing in a bank account.
The Tribunal found that KRA was wrong to treat all bank deposits as taxable income without first removing proven non income items such as dowry contributions.
The tax demand was killed.
Kamau won.
KRA retreated to Times Tower. And rested.
Case closed.
• Lesson 2.
- Document everything.
- KRA will push. Push hard.
In 2024, Ahmed Elgendy made history as the first African to win Olympic gold in the sport. Now a teenage schoolgirl from Cairo, Farida Khalil is rewriting the record books, sweeping world titles across multiple age groups in a single season. The BBC caught up with her recently.

Great work @Ondivoh. It takes courage, and acceptance by the protestors to be embedded with them. @johnallannamu consider this brave photojournalist to cover for you #Maandamano in Kibra. @Ondivoh advise the protestors to cover their faces to avoid arrests
