Mike Sonko seems to have come face to face with the last 4 stages of toxic generosity:

Give once: You elicit appreciation

Give twice: You create anticipation

Give three times: You create expectation.l

Give four times: It becomes entitlement

Give five times: You establish dependency

Stop giving: You become the enemy

Ever wondered why some people own multiple properties…

…but are still broke?

This is how it happens.

A client was about to take a KSh 35M loan to build rental units.

On paper, it looked perfect.

Then we did the math.

The story of June 25th 2024 is already written and as they say, the ink is dry. Those attempting to rewrite it will find it especially difficult because this particular piece of history is written in blood. Speaking as someone who was present in Parliament that day, the events depicted in the #BloodParliament documentary by #BBCAfricaEye are not fabrications. They happened. We all saw it live and on our screens. We must encourage these stories to be told from all angles for the sake of truth and justice. Those who are uncomfortable with this are wrestling with their own consciences and we cannot help them with that.

A stranger sat next to me on the train. He leaned in and whispered, 'Tell your brother to stop looking for me'

I don’t have a brother. Before I could respond, he got off at the next stop and left a folded note on my lap. I unfolded the note, expecting an explanation. Instead

Men,

— and when you begin winning,

Do not upgrade your life so fast.

Remain modest and humble.

Do not struggle to impress and show off your wins. — You will become a target.

Live like a commoner.

Why America Needs Skilled Workers from Other Countries

Some people in America are upset with Elon Musk for saying the country should make it easier for skilled workers in tech to move there. They think he’s suggesting Americans aren’t good enough for these jobs. But honestly, he’s just telling the truth—America’s tech industry relies a lot on workers from other countries, especially from places like India and China.

Here’s what’s happening: Many of the world’s biggest tech companies in America, like Google and Tesla, were either started by immigrants or led by them. For example, Sergey Brin, one of Google’s founders, was born in Russia. And Elon Musk himself? He’s from South Africa. These are people who moved to the U.S. with big ideas and made them happen, creating jobs and opportunities for everyone.

In Silicon Valley, which is like the tech capital of the world, about 7 out of every 10 engineers are immigrants. Most of them come from Asia. Why? Because America doesn’t have enough skilled workers to keep up with the demand. Each year, their universities produce around 400,000 graduates in science and tech, but there are more than a million tech jobs waiting to be filled. That’s a big problem.

Look at Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, and Satya Nadella, who runs Microsoft. Both of them were born in India, moved to America for opportunities, and worked their way to the top of two of the world’s biggest companies. They didn’t just take jobs—they created them, helping these companies grow and employ thousands of people.

Even Elon Musk’s story shows why skilled migration matters. He left South Africa for better chances in the U.S., and now he runs companies like SpaceX and Tesla that are shaping the future.

So when Musk says America needs skilled workers from other countries, it’s not an insult to Americans. It’s a reminder that great ideas and talent come from all over the world. If America wants to stay on top, it needs to welcome the best minds, no matter where they come from. It’s not just good for America; it’s good for everyone.

A "kakistocracy" is a system where the government is run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens.

You have so much more in you than it feels like you do. And how do you know this? Because the load you’re handling today dwarfs the load you could have carried at other times in your life, the things you are handling calmly today would have freaked you out just a few years ago.

We are at a pivotal moment in our nation's history, and the call to serve has never been more urgent. After careful consideration and consultations with trusted advisors, community leaders, and citizens from all walks of life, I am pleased to announce the formation of a Presidential Exploratory Committee.

This committee will thoroughly assess the viability of my candidacy for the 2027 presidential election. Its primary focus will be to engage with the public, gather input on the most pressing challenges facing our nation, and determine how best to address these issues with bold and innovative leadership.

The road ahead requires thoughtful preparation, and this exploratory phase is a crucial step in ensuring that our vision for the future aligns with the hopes and aspirations of Kenyans. I am committed to listening, learning, and building a platform that reflects the values and priorities of our citizens.

Together, we can shape a brighter future. Thank you for your support as we embark on this journey.
