Jason Brown reached the pinnacle of professional football when he signed a five-year, $37.5 million contract with the St.
Louis Rams in 2009, becoming the highest-paid center in the NFL at the time.
After spending several seasons in the league and earning millions, Brown made a life-changing decision.
Rather than continue pursuing more NFL contracts, he stepped away from professional football and followed a different calling.
He purchased land in Louisburg, North Carolina, and founded First Fruits Farm, a 1,000-acre farm dedicated to helping those in need.
Despite having no prior farming experience, Brown taught himself how to farm and turned the property into a source of food for struggling families.
Through First Fruits Farm, Brown has donated hundreds of thousands of pounds of sweet potatoes, tens of thousands of pounds of cucumbers, and a wide variety of other fresh produce to food banks and food pantries.
Over the years, the farm has provided more than 1.5 million pounds of food to people facing hunger.
The latest propaganda being pushed around UDA and 2027 is very simple.
They want Kenyans to believe that the election is already gone, that Ruto will rig, that voting will not matter, that registration is useless and that the people should enter 2027 already defeated in their minds.
That is why you are seeing this “they will rig” line being sponsored and amplified everywhere, including by sections of the media that have become very friendly to this regime.
NTV itself has carried the framing of UDA leaders allegedly plotting to rig 2027, showing how loud this narrative has become in public conversation.
To be honest, the optics of serious, countrywide rigging are too heavy for this regime.
This is a government that cannot repair potholes, cannot manage fuel prices, cannot manage schools, cannot manage hospitals, cannot manage salaries, cannot even explain simple taxes without creating anger.
You really believe the same confused regime has the intelligence, discipline, secrecy and technical sophistication to manage a clean nationwide rigging operation without being caught?
Rigging a presidential election is not like bribing a few brokers in a hotel or manipulating a small party nomination. A national election has agents, polling stations, forms, constituency tallying centres, observers, media, screenshots, live streams, parallel tallies and millions of angry citizens watching every number. The moment Kenyans realize even one vote does not tally, this country will enter a crisis bigger than anything this regime can control.
That is why I believe this “he will rig anyway” chorus is not just a warning.
It is psychological warfare meant to kill voter registration, kill turnout and create apathy. It is also meant to make young people say, “Why vote if they will steal it?” That is exactly where they want you mentally.
The real answer is not to stay home but massive registration, massive turnout, agents in every polling station, parallel tallying, civic vigilance and zero fear.
Elections are not stolen from people who are awake, organized and watching every vote. Elections are stolen from people who were discouraged before the first ballot was even cast.
So don’t fall for the propaganda. The vote still matters, registration matters, turnout mattes and polling station vigilance matters.

We usually consume Kshs 600 for two of our field bikes but now we have to do 1000 everyday. That's a whooping 12K per month for a small business and hustle that I built for myself without this government's input.

GENTLEMEN: This inspiring story is for us. In front of you is Dennis Wawira, famously known as the Maize Guy on TikTok. By profession, he is what Onyango Tate would call a monocotyledon cremator, better known to many as mchoma mahindi. Like many young people out there, Dennis is a victim of a system that often fails the youth.
After losing both his parents, he was left under the care of his grandmother. Due to financial constraints and the corruption at NG-CDF offices that sometimes denies deserving students educational opportunities, Dennis was unable to continue with his studies.
His grandmother walked from one government office to another, doing everything possible to ensure Dennis and his siblings were not denied their right to education, but all her efforts seemed to bear no fruit.
Seeing his grandmother struggle, Dennis made a decision that many young men are forced to make far too early,, he chose responsibility over comfort. He stepped up to help his grandmother raise and support his siblings. Dennis used what was available.
He took an old jiko, a wire mesh, and that was the humble beginning of his maize roasting business. Every single day, he showed up with hope, determination & an unshakable work ethic. He never complained when business was slow.
Rain, cold weather, and difficult days never distracted him from his mission. Life often places heavy responsibilities on men early, and success rarely comes without sacrifice, struggle, and persistence. Dennis understood this.
He mastered his craft, shared his journey online, and eventually became an internet sensation. Customers started flocking to his kibanda for his delicious mahindi choma. From selling just 30 cobs a day, Dennis now sells between 700 and 1,000 cobs daily.
He showed up consistently, without excuses. Today, through hard work and discipline, Dennis is celebrating a major milestone,, he has managed to take all his siblings back to school, and he is now finishing the construction of a very beautiful, modern two-bedroom master ensuite house for the grandmother who never gave up on them.
In the video attached in the comment section, you can see the eyes of an old woman filled with pride, joy, and gratitude,, a grandmother watching a young man change the story of their family. So gentlemen, never believe your situation is permanent or that your struggles are too heavy to overcome.
Life has a way of rewarding those who show up with determination, discipline, and purpose,, not complaints, excuses, or regret. As we celebrate the boy child this week, I choose to celebrate Dennis Wawira, a.k.a Maize Guy,, a young man who continues to inspire us all. Roho ni iyo!!!
A young man met an old man and asked him:
— Do you remember me?
The old man replied, “No, I don’t.”
Then the young man said, “I was one of your students.”
The old man asked:
— Oh really? What do you do now?
The young man answered:
— I became a teacher.
— That’s great! Just like me? — said the old man.
— Yes. I became a teacher because you inspired me to be one.
The old man was curious and asked what moment inspired him.
The young man told this story:
— One day, one of my friends brought a beautiful new watch to school. I wanted it, so I stole it from his pocket. After a while, my friend noticed his watch was missing and told you about it.
You stopped the class and said:
— Someone’s watch was stolen during the lesson. Whoever took it, please return it.
— But I didn’t return it. I was too ashamed.
Then you closed the classroom door and told all of us to stand up. You said you would check everyone’s pockets until the watch was found. But you also told us to close our eyes while you searched.
So we did.
You went through everyone’s pockets, one by one. When you reached mine, you found the watch and took it. But you didn’t stop. You kept checking the others’ pockets too.
Then you said:
— Open your eyes. I found the watch.
You never said anything to me. You didn’t punish me, and you never told anyone it was me. That day was the most embarrassing moment of my life.
But it was also the day I was saved from going down the wrong path. You didn’t lecture me, but your actions spoke louder than words.
That day, I understood what it means to be a real teacher. And that’s why I became one.
Do you remember that day, teacher?
The old man replied:
— I remember the situation and searching for the watch, but I don’t remember you — because I also had my eyes closed.
This is what true teaching is:
If correcting someone means embarrassing them, then you don’t truly know how to teach. ❣️

President Maraga tells me that he built this house in 1984😃, what has been happening is renovations.
Recently, when he was installing power in the house, the engineer had refused to install and asked him to built a better house. 😅😅
President Maraga says he told the engineer that the house was his (Maraga’s) & is enough for him.
President Maraga says he's not interested in earthly richness.
This reminds me of Matthew 5:3 where the bible records; "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
