DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A RESUME AND A CV
Stop sending a long CV when a company asks for a resume. Many job seekers in Uganda use Resume and CV to mean the exact same thing but submitting the wrong document can cost you an interview.
Here is an in depth look at the major differences and how to use both correctly👇
Med student came to me with this CBC and asked: "Sir, is this bacterial or viral?"
Here’s how I broke it down. Forget memorizing. Use a 4-step approach.
STEP 1: LOOK AT WBC FIRST
Men,
Therefore, once she is pregnant,
You have NINE MONTHS to:
• Plan
• Save
• Prepare
There is another 18 years of responsibility waiting,
So, don't disturb people. You knew what you were getting into.

Since @edwinsifuna is busy with more urgent issues, I’ll take it upon myself to give a preliminary summary response to @gladyswanga of @ODMPartyKenya
ODM v. SIFUNA — THE KILLER FLAW: WANGA IS JUDGE AND COMPLAINANT
🍊 Nemo judex in causa sua — no one can judge their own cause
🍊 Wanga chaired/participated in the NEC that initiated charges, then signed the Show Cause Notice as charging authority
🍊 This alone voids the entire process
🍊 Authority: Anarita Karimi Njeru v Republic [1979]; ODM Constitution Art. 74(3)
CHARGE 1 — TV STATEMENT (22 JULY 2025)
🍊 No specific NEC resolution pre-dating the interview is identified — charge is fatally vague
🍊 Calling the ODM-UDA MoU “dead” is protected political expression under Article 33
🍊 Personal opinion ≠ gross misconduct
🍊 Authority: John Harun Mwau v IEBC [2013]; Oduya v Kenya Power [2019]
CHARGE 2 — PERSISTENT CONTRADICTIONS (OCT–NOV 2025)
🍊 Notice admits Sifuna attended meetings and conveyed resolutions — he was doing his job
🍊 No verbatim statements quoted; no specific resolution identified as contradicted
🍊 An independently elected SG has his own democratic mandate — he cannot be gagged by NEC
🍊 Authority: Outa v ODM [2014]; Joho v Nyange [2008]
CHARGE 3 — “SIFUNA: THIS IS MY POINT” (3 FEB 2026)
🍊Programme title itself signals personal opinion — not official party communication
🍊 Disciplining a politician for personal TV commentary is disciplining free speech
🍊 Political Parties Act s.24(2)(d) protects expression of minority views
🍊 Authority: Constitution Art. 33(1); Political Parties Act s.24
CHARGE 4 — LINDA MWANANCHI INITIATIVE
🍊 Civic engagement outside the party is a constitutional right under Articles 36 & 38
🍊 ODM must prove it was a rival party or caused specific harm — it does neither
🍊 Self-defeating: Charge relies on 12 Jan 2026 Central Committee resolution — the same meeting Charge 5 says Sifuna didn’t attend.
🍊 He cannot be bound by resolutions of a meeting ODM itself says he missed
CHARGE 5 — FAILURE TO ATTEND MEETINGS
🍊 Absenteeism alone is not gross misconduct — ODM never inquired into Sifuna’s reasons
🍊 The 11 Feb 2026 NEC meeting was convened to prosecute him — non-attendance at your own witch-hunt cannot itself be a charge
🍊 Authority: Ngugi v University of Nairobi [2012]
CHARGE 8 — PREJUDICIAL CONDUCT (OMNIBUS)
🍊 A catch-all charge cannot rescue individually defective charges
🍊 Aggregating weak charges does not create a strong one
🍊 Authority: Republic v PSC ex parte Mutiso [2015]
THE FOUR-DAY DEADLINE IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
🍊 2 Apr → 8 Apr to respond to 9 months of alleged conduct; hearing on 10 Apr
🍊 Manifestly inadequate under Art. 47(1) (fair administrative action) and Art. 50(2)(c) (adequate time to prepare defence)
🍊 Authority: JSC v Mbalu Mutava [2015 CoA]; Republic v KNEC ex parte Gathenji [1997]
If you have Kshs. 10 Million and decide to build bedsitters.

They will start calling you Bossie, Bazuu, Chair, Mkuu and very many funny money minting names.

You will be getting your 116k every month
No one will ever know how and where you make your money. Watakuonea huruma and no one will give you a church harambee to be a guest of honour.
Your friends and family will think you are all struggling.

Unless its for show off.
Unataka watu wakutambue vile uko na mjengo kubwa or for diversification purposes.
Avoid rental businesses and let money work for you.
Those who claim they are after growth of the apartment. That growth is 5% per annum. If you buy shares some grow with upto 50% per annum.
Lakini pesa ni yako. Maoni ndio yangu. Wewe fanya tuu vile unataka na pesa yako.
Makueni Governor Mutula Kilonzo is trending again, and this time not for a new road project or HIV menace in Homabay, but for an unexpected biology practical. Word on the street is that Mutula had been in a relationship with one Wambui Musyoki, eating her food that faces the earth eat kisumoo.
And in the spirit of love, responsibility, and possibly poor judgment, he took care of her and a child he believed was his, splashing over Ksh 15 million besha farifari in the process. Ayaaam telling you, some baby mamas are eating good out there.
But as they say, too many M-Pesa requests spoil the romance. Wambui’s endless “mtoto anataka diapers,, and KFC,, and rent,, and a new iPhone” messages made the governor suspicious. So, Mutula decided to do what any confused man with mangondoo would do,, a DNA test. And behold, science spoke louder than love.
The results screamed to the son of kitui, “You are NOT the father!” Feeling like a graduate from the Great Kalahari Desert University of Science & Technology (K-DUST), Mutula turned to the law, and Wambui was soon arrested. The court reportedly ordered her to refund the millions while she spend the night at the govt owned Airbnb.
Now, this saga has made me stare at my Ka-Liam like, “Do we really look alike, or am I just emotionally invested to that lunje babe called mama Liam?” I'll contact @AssociatesRoba first for best legal advice before anything else bcoz if the DNA results comes & says otherwise, that short woman from Tongaren will find it the hard way.
Zile KDF na Mr. Berry nimenunua kwa hiyo nyumba zinafika sigistiin million thereabout. Because truth be told, many unsuspecting fathers are out here raising kids who might just be community projects. In this country, the law often listens to women before science gets a word in.
A child that is yours can suddenly become “not yours,” while one that isn’t yours might be stamped “property of Omwami” depending on the mood of the lady in question. And if she doesn’t want you to know she was ever pregnant? My brother, even Google Maps won’t help you find that baby!
Lakini Murima babes can be very dangerous sometimes, na kachakwa akiwaambia msiguse Murimaa mnasema ni mkabila. Omwami ile Vumbi utalamba, even inhalers won't salvage your kahasho. May Yehova Wanyonyi remember his poor boyshauuds in that thing called Mareej, si rahisi. Kama kawa sisi walala hoii hatuna maoni, Letu Jicho tu. 👀
Some 39 Things I know or I have Observed.
{14-minute Read}
Over Christmas, my friend was in the village, deep in Bondo. He shared on his Gram a picture with his family, a bunch of his sisters, nephews, and nieces.
I observed something for the first time. Remember back when we were kids and there were these cool uncles who could pop at home in festive seasons, driving some odd Mitsubishi (Lancer) or Subaru with a proper musical system? They looked like they were doing well in the city. Sometimes, they showed up with an exotic Morima chick, light-skinned, red lips, and a short skirt revealing thunderously sumptuous thighs, which your adolescent self never quite forgot about. Later in life, we learned that the Morima girl was rejected back home by Paps, and your uncle later married from elsewhere and used to bring kids home who only spoke English or Swahili.
Those uncles were generous, told funny stories, sent us to get them mapera or sugar cane, disinterestedly asked us about our grades in school, left us an odd T-shirt or sweater, that we cherished for life. Or until the mineral-starved cow spiced its life with it one afternoon. Those uncles, then in their 30s and early 40s, in jeans, sneakers, polo shirts, well-shaven, with mythical stories about Nairobi, discussing Nairobian hoods admirably, enchanting us.
Now, we are those uncles. Man. In my friend’s picture, who incidentally, has prematurely greyed both his hair and beard, he looked like those uncles. He told me, what has shocked him the most, is that he has to make some final decisions in the family, like which cow to sell to get school fees for the nephew attending Maranda, what to do with the niece who passed KCSE, but got a baby, an MTC or a TTC? “Do you know someone at MTC?
These used to be big decisions. And as kids, we were far removed from them. They seemed as big, as a president signing a bill to law.
Here we are.
Old men. Marching into middle-age. Unsure. Caught in arrested development. To quote a disgraced rapper,
“What if my son stares with a face like my own
And says he wants to be like me when he's grown
Sh-t! But I ain’t finished growing.”
Do we ever finish growing up?
That is the question I have been asking myself, and I reflect on it, on this my birthday.
Nimezeeka.
Many years ago today, on a bright Saturday like today, no less, this tall man was born somewhere in Lang’ata, Nairobi. Life has had its twists and turns, travails and triumphs, and here I am. The woman who brought me to this world, didn’t live to the age I turn today. She died younger, far more accomplished than I am today, and I am here thinking is there anything I have learnt along the way!
1. Man. Almost all the good girls are taken by 30. Like any other good I fancy and want to cuff is already happily married. The dating pool after 30 is full of piss and chlorine. Young people get married, soon enough. Make it work, while at it.
2. That extremely sexy and hot girl in Quiver, with a killer, skin-hugging dress, and headache inducing curves and nyash is either homeless, has mental health problems, or she will cause more trouble than you bargained for. They are the equivalent of the Martel-drinking dude in an expensive jacket who dines and dashes from clubs, leaving behind a huge bill and flummoxed girls. Not everything that glitters in a night club is worth your attention.
3. In a local you are known, avoid taking beer. One day, you will be bought ten beers, and you will struggle to finish them. The diarrhea and headache the following day is not worth the hassle.
4. Along the way, Kenyans and Nairobians in particular, forgot how to do good old nyama choma. When was the last time you ate good choma, you wanted to go back to the place? I know now there are more Dorper goats and mutton to catch up with meat consumption with the ever expanding middle-class, but even GMO meat can still be prepared better. Make it nice and tender again.
5. Living in Kitengela, especially if you don’t own a home there, is the saddest thing in life. Not the dust, the million boda bodas, the cows (that have the right of way), pedestrians, hawkers, motorists and wild animals. Kitengela is a failed urban planning experiment. Beautiful girls though.
6. Being dumped by an intelligent woman who reads and is good at conversations beyond celebrities and trashy TV can send you into the worst depression, bro. It is worse than being dumped by a woman who knows how to cook. Both hurt, but the reader with good conversation skills is literally irreplaceable.
7. Hands down, Msanii’s Mtuliza Bahari is the best gospel song of the decade.
8. There is no substitute for a good family and great friendships. That is the lifeline you need in life. Always show up.
9. One day, you will learn an unfortunate fact about that crush you pedestalize, like who he or she has slept with, or what she did to get the job, or something, and you will be disgusted by them. For good.
10. Sparkling water is easily one of the greatest inventions by mankind, only comparable to the invention of airplanes. It is an acquired taste, and once the taste kicks in, you will never understand why people drink plain water.
11. Westlands, Nairobi, has some really fine dining restaurants to take that fine corporate babe. Dine and wine with her by the way, it is what makes life worth living.
12. Save for his reservations on Madilu Systeme and Musa Juma, everything Jerome Ogola says about Rumba and music (on Facebook) is a fact. He is an authority. Learn from him.
13. Bunny Wamboi is my dream date of the year. A seaside sundowner with cocktails as I lie to her. She reminds me of that Honey Bunny scene from Pulp Fiction (1994).
14. Speaking of 1994, kids born in 1994 are turning 30 this year. That is insane. Like they are middle-aged by Kenyan life expectancy upper limit.
15. One day, one of your best or closest friends will go quiet on you. Or stop talking to you for some reason, you will never quite figure it out. You will never have an explanation for those who may ask. And it will hurt you like hell. You will grieve and you will heal. Sometimes, you are the one who goes quiet on different friends for a myriad of reasons, none of them personal. Charge it to adulting. You may also lose friends due to adoption of different political, religious or social values that we pick as we age.
16. People will always gossip, say nasty things about others. Just don’t be a gossiper, don’t say nasty things about others and if you hear mean stuff about you from other folk, filter how it affects or aggravates you. Words don’t sting. Your reaction to them is what hurts. Stuff to do with work, marriage or divorce, don't ask about them, unless they volunteer information.
17. The most important thing that you can teach your kids, perhaps better than leaving them an inheritance, is teaching them toilet manners. Teach them how to wipe their bottoms, and how to use a toilet. The number of adults with zero toilet etiquette is quite frankly staggering. Let us do better as parents. I have given up on adults.
18. There is a special place in hell for girls who string you along. You know these ones who promise you mechi moja safi, but carry on flaking on you, wakicheka, before you know it, five years are gone, and they are still laughing at your lame jokes. Those ones. Wachomwe na Osama Bin Laden.
19. The most frustrating time for an adult is when situations are out of control, and you have to sit down and wait. On others. On God. Time. To not be in charge of your life is the most humbling thing I know.
20. Don’t ever use a booking agent to book a flight. Learn all the hacks and know at any given time, you can get a flight for less than $1,000 to the furthest corner in the world.
21. When people don’t show up for you, just understand maybe they are busy showing up for themselves. Extend grace to everyone.
22. Healing from a heartbreak for a man is not easy. Especially from a relationship you gave your all. It is OK to feel crappy, for as long as you will. Just know she is not coming back, and if she does, not the same girl. Heraclitus, that finest philosopher out of Ephesus, said, “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it is not the same river and he is not the same man.” Always remember that. You will heal by force, by fire. While at it, remember, when she leaves, she doesn’t care, even if you drowned in River Yala. Move on, son.
23. This may earn me some enemies from the other side, but kuna wasichana hawapendi kuoga. Siku utaishi na hao ndio utajua. Ile story that they shower twice a day, a myth for most. Like ni wachafu tu. But some of them uchapa luku moja deadly hapa nje.
24. Some friendships are purely transactional and should remain as such. We mess up many things when we try to change them to be what they are not supposed to be.
25. As an adult, learn to manage your time. It is OK to say NO to meetings that don’t add value to your life, or anything that potentially can waste your time.
26. Real men don’t date ex-girlfriends or ex-wives of their close friends. Neither do they pass on information about you to them or vice versa. Respect your pair of balls. It is stupid to lose a good friend because you covet his ex.
27. There are generous girls out here, with big and caring hearts. I wish all men get to experience at least one such. And keep her.
28. If you complain about buying a woman food or taking her to a date, maybe you should date yourself. Taking a woman out, to a decent restaurant, and having good conversation is how it is done. Or go lower, but don’t complain. Unless she is buying, don’t ever split a date bill with a woman. No exception.
29. Always be endlessly kind, reasonable and humane to waitresses. But still double-check the bill, just in case they abuse your trust. They go through a hard life. And please, don’t run away with a bill.
30. Sometimes, you are never in the best place to return favours. But down the line, if ever in a place, return them, not necessarily to those you owe, but to whoever needs a favour.
31. Ocha is still a good place worth investing in. Build those beautiful homes, furnish them, have good gardens and orchards. Let us host our friends from different tribes as frequently as possible. It is the best way to bridge the tribal and cultural divides. Give them water if they take so many guavas, though. Ocha is good for refreshing and breathing some fresh air. Halafu, those farm fresh kienyeji mboga slap good.
32. A road trip with a girl you share a musical taste with is one of the best experiences. If she has a different musical taste, it will be torturous.
33. Most men in Nairobi still don’t know how to tell a girl to leave the morning after, and many go into elaborate ways to make her leave. It doesn’t have to be this way. As a girl, if visiting, always have a plan on how to leave, the earlier the better, unless he explicitly wants you to stay longer, you are dating and understand each other’s calendar. Ask for the Uber/Bus/Nduthi fare if you don’t have. As for men, just know there is an epidemic of Yahaya girls (used to be men, even Lady Jaydee dropped a shade song about them) in Nairobi. Have a plan. Otherwise, wasee ukwamiwa kwa nyuma.
34. For men, if dating a woman younger than you by ten years, maybe try private, laid-back spots. I have learnt a lot from my Gen Z dates. You could be loaded, but they are not very comfortable dancing some Ayra Star with you on some debauched joint on Thika Road. Your kitambi, your balding head, grey hair, makes them rather uncomfortable. Man-to-Man. I know millennials hatujakubali miaka yetu. Go uptown, alfresco-get a private gazebo, Airbnb, five-star hotels. But still, Kenya is a free country, you can be mannerless and do you. As they say in Nairobi, shamelessness is a mindset.
35. Without a family of your own, like wife and kids, as a man over 35, it means you will mostly be alone, because everyone in that age group is busy with some stuff. And those who die alone only to be discovered several days later, that frankly scares me.
36. Dieting is the only plausible way of losing weight.
37. Don’t take anything you read online too seriously, or too personal. Most of us are just a bunch of randy dudes, with time and bundles on our hands.
38. Sometimes, stuff doesn’t get better, it gets worse, and you still have to survive.
39. Man-to-man, treating yourself to a nice wet-fry, some four cold lagers, listening to Madilu as you contemplate about life, or that woman, is the best way you can spend a Sunday afternoon.
Here is to old age. You can easily gift me if you walk to @NuriaStore and get hold of my five books or order them online. We deliver. Here is to a great year.
Happy New Year One Last Time, and Happy Sabbath for my SDA peeps.
@HonMoses_Kuria There are 4 things we CAN NOT play around with as Kenyans
1. Affordable and accessible healthcare.
2. Good working environment for business in all sectors.
3. Free education.
4. Production of healthy food by farmers.
Ruto is a man under siege.
He is crying for help.
He needs prayers.
He might appear tough in public but is silently frustrated and in pain.
He has been cornered. The filthy swamp has marooned him.
The June 25th protests disoriented him. He lost direction. He was stripped naked before the whole world.
Yet, he had only 1 job:
• To lift millions of Kenyans from disease, hopelessness, and poverty.
But he forgot this.
He forgot the hustlers, the church, and the youths who foisted him.
Immediately after he got into office, he fell into the dangerous trap of globalists like George Soros and Bill Gates, with the help of Meg Whitman.
Sir, you strut into government corridors with so much Chutzpah and hubris.
You disenfranchised the people.
The people don't like you anymore, no matter what you do or say.
Children don't like you.
Parents don't respect you.
Workers don't like you.
No citizen trusts you.
Raila will not help you.
Uhuru will not help you.
Only the people will help you.
Kenya's problem is not a lack of national unity.
Kenyans are united. The problem is that you are naked, people are telling you but you don't want to listen.
These politicians you are adding to your cabinet will devour you.
They will eat you for lunch.
Don't think they are there to help you. They are there to deflate you, hold you hostage, and finally, conduct a March of Ides, just like it was done to Julius Caesar.
Do you know who killed Julius Caesar?
It was Brutus.
Do you know who Brutus was?
Brutus was Julius Caesar's closest friend. He didn't kill Caesar because he hated him but because the Roman Republic had lost trust in Julius Caesar.
Brutus and his brother-in-law Cassius Longinus plotted the elimination of Caesar.
Caesar had defeated Cassius Longinus, and Caesar's biggest mistake was to bring Cassius into his fold of friends.
On 15th March 44 BC, during the March of Ides, Julius Caesar was assassinated by the people he dined with in the republic.
You have made a lot of blunders. Your political enemies have discovered that you are indecisive and weak.
Bloating your executive administration with political losers is the beginning of your end. You are afraid to stand firm and say, "enough is enough."
These politicians will compete and fight, and the government will be worse, chaotic, and sour.
You have surrounded yourself with Yamune dunderheads who will abandon you when your Brutus will choose a fork in the road.
I am advising you,
Do the right thing.
For the sake of your future,
- Disband the government.
- Dissolve the parliament.
It is only the voice of the people that will salvage you.
Do you know what Julius Caesar told his friend Brutus when the senators stabbed him (Caesar)?
He asked Brutus,
"Et tu, Brute?"
Do you also want to say:
"Akot inye nekitupche? Nepo moet aenge?"
I have told you. If you have ears, you have heard.
The lizard told the stone,
"Even if you pretend that you have not heard, I have told you."
