Picture this: Three boys are standing at the Macha Town roundabout. A well-known man in Macha, who was coming from drinking at Club Legends, hits one of them with his car.

The boys ask him what’s going on. The man reacts by getting out of the car with a machete. Then, without hesitation, he claims that the boys were trying to steal his car.

Within moments, boda boda riders have gathered around, and before long, they decide to burn the boys. That’s how dangerous mob justice can be.

Justice for our boys. My homies and former Mumbuni Boys School mates ; we will miss you.

Justice will be served. Rest in peace, Charlie, Stan, and Katuu. Stan & Katuu were brothers 💔 Tomorrow is Katuu’s birthday

It just creeps up on you.
And all of a sudden you walk into a hotel just to have a cup of tea. Nothing else. Just tea ☕
Pain old-fashioned tea
And I used to wonder why mum would order a cup of tea when there's Milkshakes, juices, sodas and everything else we dont have at home.

Many people struggle to get out of the trap of poverty only to dive headfirst into the prison of possessions.

@kenyanpundit Yea, it depends with the school.
Buru Buru Girls nikijoin form 1 my parents went with me to the dorm and dad showed me how to make my bed and tuck the edges.
If a school is against it, shuku. Shuku sana

Once you’re past 35, are you just going to keep being gradually more tired every year for the rest of your life or is a there a second wind somewhere?

Anybody suddenly stumble upon newfound energy in their 40s?

50s?

60s, maybe with retirement?

Naturally, no HRT or hacks

@lettersbyjoy @GedionApollo Sijui kama ni ukweli, but niliambiwa kuna places hata toothpaste utapimiwa ya 5 bob. Just go with your toothbrush, shopkeepet ana kuwekea.
Understanding your consumers 💯

[MeMiriam @Teozme]

@lettersbyjoy My 1st time moving out of home, I went to live in Thika. Kwa butchery, I was shocked to find out that you can buy meat based on the money you have not based on weight. I always bought by weight, but huko I could buy nyama ya 100 bob. Then I learned about mafuta ya kupika pia

[MeMiriam @Teozme]

@Bui_Irungu Last week nikiwa sides za Embu/Meru I bought 4 avocados at 50 bob. I didn't believe it nikiambiwa ni 50 bob. So nikapeana 100 bob, just incase...wakanirudishia change 😳
To date I wonder if the seller was momentarily confused.

THIS MIGHT HELP SOMEONE.

WHERE TO BUY THINGS AT A BARGAIN IN NAIROBI
1. Cereals – Get them in Nyamakima in that kichochoro for Molo matatus. Groundnuts from the market cost Sh190 per kilo, but at Nyamakima they are Sh110. You can also get apples and other fruits at a good price.

2. Diapers and bar soap – OTC. The kichochoro between Quickmart and Equity.

3. Chemicals for homemade detergent, bleach, fabric softener, disinfectant – OTC, the building with quickmart, go upstairs, first floor. They will even explain how to mix them.

4. Bulk shopping – If you can manage to go to Kawangware or Eastleigh, you will save a lot. In Kawangware, go to Samwest in the market. Alight at Mlango Soko, then at Cooperative Bank, go down and turn at the first right turn, walk about 20 metres and you will find Samwest. Go with a list, they will give you the prices. If you are buying things for a shop, they deliver. Alternatively, you can turn left and walk a bit for like 100 metres where you will find many wholesale shops including FairPrice. Also look out for Israel. In Eastleigh, as you walk towards the Catholic Church or if you are coming from Pangani, just after you take the right turn to enter Eastleigh, you will see the Marie Stopes sign board, the shops start there. If you are an uptown girl, on the upper side of Biashara Street just before you join Koinange Street there is a Muhindi shop that sells groceries at wholesale prices. It’s opposite Yala Towers. He also has storage and garbage bags at a good price.

5. Beauty products and jewellery – Perida Centre, Dubois Road, and basically Dubois Road.

6. Vegetables – Marikiti and Gikomba. Bunch of spinach @ Sh15, bunch of sukuma wiki @Sh10, terere @15, cabbages @20, 6 tomatoes @10, onions @ 1 bob, 4 maize cobs @20, etc, especially outside Marikiti.

7. Vegetables for those who live in Eastlands – Go to Korongosho market early on Wednesday or Saturday mornings. It is at the Dandora, Kariobangi roundabout. Buy carrots, peas, potatoes and onions from the lorries; it is cheaper than inside the market.

8. Meat – Ndonyo Market Dagoretti for Sh280 a kilo. Burma Sh200 to Sh250 a kilo.

9. Fish and chicken kienyeji – Gikomba. When you get to Gikomba, ask for the place where fish is sold. It’s a whole building opposite where newborn clothes are sold. It’s on the right as you walk towards the market.

10. Fish – Alpha Foods, Road A, Enterprise Road, you’ll get 40 pieces of tilapia @Sh1700. They close by 4pm. The boda boda guys can direct you.

11. Wine/alcohol – Opposite Kensilver matatus on Dubois Road, there is a club with better prices than Mwalimu on Mfangano Street. Also check Accra Road where the 2NK matatus are in the hawkers market building, go to 3rd floor there are many wholesale shops there.

12. Utensils – Kamukunji. Kamukunji is those sides as you head towards Machakos Bus Station.

13. Prescribed medication – Try Transchem next to the bike shop above or the Transchem ooposite Afya Centre. There is also another chemist near the number 4 matatus, where the hardware shops are. Sinai Chemist at the Nairobi Textiles building is cheaper than Transchem. It is at the intersection where the Kenya Mpya buses queue, opposite a building under construction, surrounded by iron sheets (mabati). Accra Road also has a stretch of affordable chemists.

14. Panties and bras – At the junction of Accra Road and River Road, directly opposite Kobil Petrol Station, there is a small corridor where panties and bras are sold. The quality is better than Kamukunji and cheaper than Mombasa Rest House on River Road. You can also buy kids’ vests, bikers, boob tops and tummy trimmers there.

I came to hard realization that we as Kenyan Developers we are extremely westernized. The influence we have from san fransisco marketing has made us un aware of what our market demands.

We never talk to the SMEs owners, they are the ones who knows the expenditure and consumerism behavior of Kenyans at large. They have all the information, they may not explain it.

My point is we have a huge gap, and I think the ISP guys are the only tech bros who actually understand Kenyan market. Maybe we should break down our software sales into their model of per day per hour or per week.

Sticking to per month with a flat fee when your client tells you this month biashara haijakuwa sawa. They would pay only when they need it, otherwise they will always see it as an expense rather than a solution.

We approach each other from a Kiburi point of view which is why we have stacked github full of solutions they need but cant pay for it, and they have problems knowing very well we cant solve fully.

The Kenyan market is very flexible. It requires the creative mind not sticking to the same software template from Carlifornia. It wont work in Moi Avenue, it wont work in Kamkunji and it will be even worse in Kirinyaga road or Muthurwa.

That is why I respect Pick Up mtaani logistics. These are the guys who studied the volatility of the delivery and logistics scene for online shops. They did not push a software at first, they pushed for pickup stations.

I am learning these the hard way.
