Yesterday, while downtown, I visited the shop where I usually buy packaging materials for @amaj_ta_ghee. Before shopping, I stepped next door to withdraw some money. When I returned, I realized that the mobile money attendant had mistakenly given me an extra 20k.
I mentioned it to the people in the shop, and one of them said, "Ogwo mukisagwo," meaning, "That's your blessing." I told him it couldn't be a blessing if it came at the cost of someone else's business loss. I went back and returned the money. The lady thanked me with an emotional expression that spoke volumes.
When I returned to the shop, I discovered that the young man who had suggested I keep the money was actually on X. After speaking with him, he revealed that he had always known who I was but had never mentioned it.
As I left, I found myself wondering what impression he would have formed of me if I had taken his advice and kept the 20k.
The lesson I took from that experience is that honesty should be a constant, even when no one is watching. 🙌

The hadzabe tribe speaks the hadza language, which is a language isolate native to Tanzania and is endangered and that was the highlight at #KILIFAIR2026. Tanzania’s most fascinating indigenous groups.
As one of the last remaining hunter-gatherer communities in East Africa, the Hadzabe captivated visitors with their unique click language, traditional lifestyle, and rich cultural heritage that has been preserved for generations.
The language does not have a written form and is characterized by the use of three different types of clicks; dental, alveopalatal and lateral .
THE RISE AND FALL OF ISRAEL MBONYI:
Israel Mbonyi rose like a star from Rwanda. His powerful gospel voice conquered Kenya. Packed concerts in Nairobi and Kenyans crowned him our brother in Christ. Tickets sold out praises everywhere. He was untouchable.
Then came the fall.
One day during a live moment Mbonyi turned and sharply criticized Kenyans. Ingratitude how they treat visiting men of God the scandals the pressure. The words hit hard.
Kenyans turned on him fast. He came ate and now bites the hand that fed him. Social media exploded. Boycotts followed. Concerts got cancelled. The same fans who lifted him dropped him.
From hero to zero in days.
Moral: Rise with grace speak with wisdom. The same crowd that worships you can cancel you tomorrow.
I used to hear stories of phones exploding and killing people at night especially when left to charge overnight or when using earphones to listen to music while sleeping.
This should serve as a strict warning to those who love sleeping with their phones under their pillows or next to their heads.
Imagine the disaster it could have costed her, glad she is safe.
By the way it is a genuine iphone not those other phones that are worse than guruneti ,weapons of mass destructions.
Be careful guys
