🧵 Nairobi has normalized dysfunction so deeply that we now celebrate roads simply because they exist, not because they are safe.
Driving through parts of the city in the rain felt less like commuting and more like surviving an obstacle course.
Waiyaki Way. Uhuru Highway. Enterprise Rd. Lunga Lunga. Jogoo Rd. Outering. Thika Road. Northern Bypass.
Pitch black.
No lane markings.
No reflective paint.
No warning signs.
Barely any lighting.
At some points, you genuinely cannot tell where your lane begins or ends.
And yet this is a city where every litre of fuel is taxed heavily in the name of road maintenance.
So where is the money going?
Because it is clearly not going into safer roads.
Some roundabouts along Uhuru Highway are almost invisible at night when it rains. You only notice them when you are already on top of them.
The speed bumps around Northern Bypass and parts of Nairobi are another problem entirely.
Poorly marked.
Poorly designed.
Dangerous spacing.
Not traffic calming.
Just vehicle damage waiting to happen.
What makes this worse is that these are not remote roads.
These are major roads used daily by thousands of ordinary Kenyans going to work, running businesses, or simply trying to get home alive.
Road safety is not a luxury item for developed countries.
Reflective paint is not a miracle technology.
Street lighting is not an impossible engineering challenge.
This is simply what happens when institutions stop caring because accountability disappeared long ago.
Road deaths are not always “accidents.”
Sometimes they are accumulated negligence.
And negligence, when repeated for years, becomes policy.
The Presidency was a job too high for Ruto. Everyday since he became President, he has demonstrated that he had no experience and lacks the skills and intelligence for the job some Kenyans gave him.
I swear to God i can never voluntarily listen to Ruto speak. When I'm scrolling Twitter and a video of him speaking pops up, the 2 seconds it takes me to mute the video makes my ears bleed and my brain shut. That's how much I hate that man.
When the imperialists looked for a military to use in Haiti, they came to Ruto and he gave them one. When the United States came for Kenya’s health data, Ruto didn’t hesitate: he signed and agreed. When the British army molested, killed, and maltreated Kenyan women while destroying several hectares of land during training, Ruto did nothing.
When the French wanted a foothold in Kenya through a five-year renewable partnership covering maritime security and intelligence sharing, he gave them the go-ahead and immunity from Kenyan law, all under the pretense of military cooperation.
Ruto is a Western puppet who is not after the interests of the people but those of his masters and his own selfish interests. With time, many Kenyans will realize this.
I don’t even blame Macron for telling “ill mannered Africans” to shut up😏
I blame any African that attended that event thinking France can help Africa move “Forward”
Ya’ll deserve to be treated like the idiots you are✌🏾
