Most people are so broke that they don't know how much KSH 1 BILLION is.
Do you people know what KSH 1 BILLION is?
With 1 BILLION:
You spend 100,000 DAILY for 27 YEARS and FIVE MONTHS.
Why, then, do you accept it as normal when politicians steal 600 billion?
Dear President William Ruto,
At a time when Kenya is marking two years since the deaths of young Gen Z protesters, your public attack on Standard Media Group is deeply worrying.The media is not your enemy. A free press is not a favour from State House. It is a right protected by the Constitution. Its work is to ask questions, report facts, expose failure and hold power to account.

If you are an observant person,
A man who is keen, and concerned about his consciousness,
You will realise something unusual is happening,
There is a silent shift going on,
We are moving from an OWNERSHIP ECONOMY to a SUBSCRIPTION ECONOMY.
In a subscription economy, you own nothing, but you pay for goods and services which you consume,
For example,
Back in the 90s,
We bought and owned music hardware like cassettes and discs,
This ensured that the music hardware was yours and nobody would charge you a recurring monthly fee to play music,
We owned newspapers and kept them,
We bought and owned books,
We owned letters written to us,
We bought, and claimed ownership,
But this is changing, and it is concerning,
In a subscription economy, you own nothing, but you pay for it.
MKOPA phones and Electric bikes are examples of how we have lost ownership of what we have bought.
It will reach a time where,
• You won't make a call, unless you subscribe to a calling service, on top of buying airtime,
• You won't send an email unless you subscribe, or you will lose all your emails,
• You won't listen to music unless you pay a monthly subscription fee for streaming,
• You won't send a text or a WhatsApp message unless you subscribe to a monthly plan, or get used to annoying advertisements,
• You won't cook food unless you pay for a monthly gas subscription plan or pay double for electricity,
• You won't drink clean water unless you subscribe to a monthly water delivery plan.
Ultimately, you won't own land or a house or a cow,
You will own nothing, and you will never be happy.
You will become a slave of the subscription economy.
That day is coming.
If you are wise,
• Go to a rural area,
• Own land,
• Get solar,
• Sink a borehole,
• Keep poultry, cows, goats and sheep,
• Grow your food.
Don't sit in the city like sheep.
Freedom will be given to those who will defeat the subscription economy.
WAKE UP!
#ManDay
Because Matatu operators are the ones who have called off the strike, Kenyans MUST REFUSE to pay hiked fares. Since they are the ones in dialogue with the government, they should not pass on the cost of their dialogue to innocent, underpaid and overtaxed Kenyans!
Things just got awkward live on TV.
Opiyo Wandayi claimed they had agreed a deal with matatu operators to end the strike and even said there were no questions only for one of the matatu leaders to go live moments later and completely contradict him.
This is exactly the kind of courage Kenya needs.
Speak the truth publicly. Don’t let leaders rewrite reality while cameras are rolling.
Niliquit 9-5 ilikuwa inanilipa 150k/month.
Imenitake two years for my company kunilipa 67k/month na nafanya kazi from 7AM to 11PM every day, na sometimes unapata uko na employees wanakupea the hardest time ever, na kuwafuta kazi ni even more expensive.
Every month uko na bills za kulipa in the millions, end month kila mtu ako happy isipokuwa wewe juu uko na another 30 days kuraise another million. Na imagine all this trouble ndiyo net salary yako ikuwe 50k
Sometimes doh haitoshi unasema wacha ulipe the employees alafu KRA utawatumia yao by 9th, unajaribu kupata loan bank inakataa juu hauna shamba ya security, inafika 15th unapata weird calls, unashika unapata ni KRA, unawaambia utawalipa next Friday, wanakuambia Friday haiwezekani, labda Thursday. Inabidi uongee with one of your clients akulipe mapema, anakusomea akikuambia biz haifanywi hivo but anaitikia eventually.
Next week inafika unalipa KRA, SHA,NSSF, Housing Levy. Unahave some peace kidogo only to realize that next week ni end month na this time uko na deficit kubwa kushinda last month, and the cycle continues.
Kama uko 9-5 na uko sawa, I can’t advise you to quit. Heri ujaribu entrepreneurship in parallel but usiquit job yako. It feels good when you tell people that you quit your job to pursue your dream but you also need to understand that your dream will take time before it starts paying the bills, and it might also die before you eat a shilling from it.
Be thankful for the small achievements in your life.
Don't live another person's life.
Run your race. It is fulfilling.
Be patient. Your reward will come.
