I just want a Kenya that works for everyone so that privilege, class and money doesn't take a front seat in conversations pertaining education, health and basic infrastructure.
This song in 1980 caused ripples in the Catholic Church to the extent that the Vatican asked the Bishops in DRC to intervene. Mobutu also stepped in to curb the spread of the song. Most of us black Africans who don’t speak Lingala did not know what the song was about until now that it is subtitled in English. This is a rendition of the original song, but the lyrics and music are unchanged. Happy Sunday Bazalwane
Content Monetization and The Hijack of Africa's Digital Space
The digital gold rush in Africa is a deliberate structural trap. By incentivizing sensationalism over substance, global platforms have effectively co-opted the creative energy of a generation, steering millions away from the urgent work of reclaiming sovereign narrative and towards a cycle of 'engagement' that hollows out our intellectual discourse.
The Spearhead’s @Big_Mck reports that real digital independence starts with the courage to choose quality over clicks; a challenge that demands a deliberate commitment from every viewer to amplify rather than just consume.
The congregation doesn't need your coffee joke.
They buried someone this week.
They're sitting in pews with divorce papers in their glovebox.
Kids who won't speak to them.
Test results they haven't opened.
They drove past three churches to hear you say something that costs you something.
So open the Book.
Forget the illustration you found on Google.
Skip the movie clip.
Kill the countdown timer on your outline.
Preach like a man possessed.
Preach like you'll answer for every wasted syllable.
Preach like their blood is on your hands.
Because it is.
The pulpit isn't a stage.
It's a witness stand...
America will be first country to lock out Kenyans from going to America should we record even one single of ebola case. Yet you are here welcoming their sick patients. We are led by fools.
Lately Molped sanitary pads haven’t been the same. Quality ruined, weak adhesiveness, strange smell, and the absorption is only concentrated not evenly. I’m ranting because yesterday it literally came off, 3 different pads💀 thankfully I was at home. value pack is worse.
Mwabili Mwagodi is currently being held at Lunga Lunga Police Post. He was arrested yesterday en route to Tanzania on a warrant from Michael Sang of @DCI_Kenya with no crime specified. He spent the night in jail. #FreeMwabili
I don't know if there is an African country like Kenya where Africans are so proud to impose ignorance on their own children.
These are my remarks at the launch of @m_ogada's book which is on ecology, philosophy, political economy. We've decided our kids don't need knowledge like that.

Here is a picture of my wife shared by Museveni’s son and head of our nation's military, Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
When soldiers on his orders raided our home, they made her to sit down, put her on gunpoint to reveal her phone passwords and my whereabouts, assaulted her, and eventually tore her nightdress shirt while filming. It was only after her blood pressure rose, and she became unconscious that these thugs left her, before she was rushed to hospital.
Like she narrated, these criminals were filming everything and definitely sending them to their deranged boss!
Barbie is strong and appreciates all of you who have reached out with messages of strength and solidarity, as she tries to recover from the trauma.
Indeed, when she swore for better for worse, she never imagined these thugs placing their filthy hands on her. But it happened, and she took it with grace. She courageously confronted the criminals and refused to surrender despite the violence.
Meanwhile, our home remains occupied by the military as they try to hunt me down.
No one is allowed to access my home, not even family members trying to deliver basic needs like food.
In all this, we remain encouraged by our undying faith that UGANDA WILL BE FREE. Museveni and his son will one day pay for all the crimes committed against the people of Uganda.
#FreeUgandaNow
Uganda is really special. I can’t imagine the president’s son, also head of the army, tweeting assault photos of the wife of the main opposition leader and it just being government business as usual.
