Someone called to ask if I could help get blood and platelets from Kisumu. I told them I could try, but I wasn't making any promises. Hb dropped to 4.1g/dL, platelets were below 10,000. I panicked ... I truly wanted to help, but blood cannot just be transported like potatoes. This June, for those who can come to Homabay for a blood drive please join me! Pt was referred to a different county! Life !
Let's be serious kidogo. Is Njeri Maina telling us that they, the opposition (Gachagua, Kalonzo, Matiang'i, Wamalwa, Uhuru and Linda Mwananchi) can't mobilize 116 MPs to sign the impeachment motion against Ruto but they'll mobilize 16 million Kenyans to vote against Ruto?
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.
On Ebola
A tiny error and ebola spreads across the republic. Deaths of citizens. Travel advisories. No visas for citizens. Tourists cancel. Layoffs. Economy takes a hit. Ebola spreads to schools. Schools must close. Chaos. Months. Elections cancelled. Orphans. Widows. Ujinga! ⚖️
Matatu owners were telling Gen Z that they were destroying their business in 2024. Guess who are on the streets?
Bad governance doesn’t compromise anyone.
@NationAfrica None of these is global:
1. Petroleum Development Levy
2. Petroleum Regulatory Levy
3. Road Maintenance Levy
4. Anti-Adulteration Levy
5. Merchant Shipping Levy
6. Railway Development Levy
7. Import Declaration Fee
8. Value Added Tax (VAT)
9. Excise Duty
10. Customs/Import Duty
I wish to express my solidarity with Kenyans who have to bear the burden of bad governance that has led to the paralysis of the transport sector today.
While we acknowledge that the fuel crisis is a direct result of the war against Iran, every responsible government is taking steps to cushion their citizens from the high cost of living.
As a first step, Parliament should convene immediately to ;
✅exempt all fuel products from VAT;
✅temporarily remove all fuel levies to stabilise the fuel prices:
✅redirect more resources being squandered through budgeted corruption to alleviate the energy crisis.
Let us join hands to liberate this country @UGMParty@Maraga27 #ukombozi
For those who still haven’t fully grasped how elite Bruno Fernandez is…
Bruno officially became only the THIRD player in Manchester United history to record 100+ goals and 100+ assists.
He did it in 318 games.
For context:
Messi did it in 319 games for Barcelona.
Ronaldo did it in 325 games for Real Madrid.
Now pause and think about the environments those two operated in.
Messi had Xavi, Iniesta, Eto’o, Henry.
Ronaldo had Benzema, Bale, Di María, Kaká.
Bruno?
He spent most of his United career creating chances for strikers who needed 4 opportunities to score once 😭
No superteam.
No luxury setup.
No dominant era.
Just pure responsibility every single week.
He arrived at 25, walked into the chaos of the post-Fergie era, became the tactical engine, emotional leader, chance creator, goalscorer, and still produced numbers faster than the two greatest players football has ever seen.
At some point, people need to stop debating whether Bruno Fernandes is elite.
The numbers already settled that conversation ❤️🏆🔴
There are places we pass through in life… and there are places that become part of who we are.
Manchester will forever be my home.
To the city, the club, and every supporter, my sincerest thank you. These past four years have been unforgettable, filled with moments my family and I will carry with us for the rest of our lives. There simply aren’t enough words to describe the happiness and warmth we’ve felt here.
Thank you for every cheer, every memory, and for making us feel at home from the very first day.
Forever a Red Devil ❤️
