Be rich. But never talk about money. Be fit. But never talk about working out. Be sharp. But never mention books. Never let excitement make you announce things prematurely. Stay low-key and move silently. you'll never regret it.
Ata Salgaa you guys were talking about blood sacrifices. The road was redesigned & now accidents have reduced.
You guys have access to a lot of information about things for you to be believing your president is a satanist. I don’t like him, but hio mindset won’t solve anything
The real purpose of wealth is freedom. Freedom to slow down. Freedom to not rush through your own life. Freedom to spend your days doing things that you actually care about. That’s what money is really for. Not to impress strangers. Not to collect expensive distractions. But to buy back your time. A quiet breakfast without checking emails. Long dinners without looking at the clock. Conversations without feeling rushed. A two-week vacation where your nervous system finally relaxes. Time to read. To think. To explore your interests deeply. That’s real wealth. Everything else is noise.
I live a lowkey private life. Alone. Observing more than speaking. Thinking more than showing. I get rarely bored by solitude. A quiet room, a book, a long walk, my own thoughts. That’s all I need. What exhausts me is people. The small talk. The noise. The constant performing. The pressure to always be “on.” Too many conversations with no depth. Too many masks. So I disappear for a while. Just to breathe again. To hear my own thoughts. To feel my own emotions. To reconnect with myself beneath all the noise of the world. And honestly,
it feels like therapy for the soul.
Stay humble. You can seem like a millionaire to one person and a homeless person to the next. The ants think you are a giant, and the trees don't even notice you. You think you have a boring life, but the next person might be in love with your lifestyle. Don't compare. Ever. Everything is apple and oranges. Comparison is the thief of joy. Stay humble. And just be gareful for what you have. Life is just a big game of perspective.
One thing about adulthood that way too many people learn way too late (and have no choice but to learn the hard way): you have to be deliberate/proactive about everything. For the first time in your life, you can't be passive participant in anything.
Kenya is still paying off the enormous debts accumulated during Uhuru’s presidency, debts that financed projects disproportionately concentrated in Mt Kenya. How relevant is the Kenol-Savana dual carriage way to Kenya’s economic infrastructure?
This country would be far more equal if successive Kikuyu presidents treated every region as equally deserving of development and opportunity.
If you read Sessional Paper No. 10 of 1965 carefully, there is nowhere the document explicitly classifies parts of Kenya as “high priority” or “low priority” development areas.
But in practice, the implementers of that policy under Jomo Kenyatta created exactly that system. State investment was concentrated in the former White Highlands, while vast parts of Nyanza, Western, Coast, North Eastern, and other marginalized regions were sidelined.
That is how inequality was institutionalized in Kenya.
The roads, industries, agricultural support, and financial infrastructure followed political power and ethnic favoritism. Regions associated with the ruling elite received disproportionate state attention while others were told to wait their turn.
Kibaki largely continued the same development philosophy. When the World Bank provided funding to strengthen fisheries and the blue economy, part of that money was redirected into fish pond projects in places like Nyeri instead of meaningfully modernizing fishing economies around Lake Victoria and the Coast.
Traditional fishing communities continued struggling with poor infrastructure, inadequate cold storage, weak market systems, and government neglect. Today, local markets are flooded with imported fish and pond fish while the natural fishing industry continues declining.
Then came Uhuru Kenyatta, who accelerated the same model through debt-funded infrastructure. Billions were borrowed, but a disproportionate share of flagship road projects and infrastructure upgrades ended up concentrated in Central Kenya while many counties still lacked basic roads, water projects, and functioning hospitals. So when you praise Kangata for doing more, you ignore the fact that he has more already because of this.
Ruto is now hated in Mt Kenya because he is willing to accommodate other communities and spread political access beyond Mt Kenya elites. TBefore Rigathi Gachagua fell out with him, one of his recurring complaints was that the president was giving too much space to “outsiders” instead of prioritizing Mt Kenya interests first.
Kenya is bigger than one region. We must build an equal Kenya to reach Singapore.
Citizen TV found someone who dispenses wisdom in doses, so softly and clinically that when he was done they all rose up to shake his hand. Tumsifu Yesu Kristo.
@gabrieloguda We are a spoilt lot aren't we? He couldn't have put it better when he says as Kenyans we should be immune from pain, global shocks should not touch us,we should not pay taxes but we should also get first class services
@gabrieloguda From the responses on this X many Kenyans don't understand English but pretend to do so 😂😂 what are they being taught in schools? And we're very tribalistic including Gen Z. How else would you explain how very few people understand this intelligence from the young man
