Learn to be strict with yourself.
Your time.
Your resources.
Your business.
Your discipline.
The moment you become mediocre, others will take advantage of you and mess you up.
It is better to be called a bully because being afraid to say NO will cost you a lot.
He is completely clueless, has zero ideology and lacks political and philosophical consciousness. The sad thing is that neither he nor his gullible supporters realize it. This is precisely how the British sold us their lawn cutter, Johnson Kamau—and it has taken us more than 63 years to recover from that tragedy.
Unaona venye hiyo lorry ya maziwa imeanguka wakenya wakakimbia kuiba . Hivo ndio lorry ya pesa huanguka bunge . We can't hate politicians when we are exactly like them.
My fellow Africans:
Let us carry ourselves with DIGNITY everywhere we go.
If colonial clerks want to meet you, invite them to your offices—not your homes.
If you must go and meet a colonial clerk (something we don’t encourage and which is, in fact, anathema among genuine pan-Africanists), do so at the embassy or high commission.
Do not grovel like a slave (hands behind your back) before colonial clerks or their chieftains at their residences.
You will never be free and liberated until you liberate your minds which continue to tell you that you are a pathetic slave and that grovelling is your highest achievement.
You can’t claim to seek genuine change, liberty and transformation when you carry yourselves like slaves.
And you are certainly not a leader until you stop grovelling.
Telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Nairobians should watch Babu Owino closely before making a decision. A lot of red flags are visible. Impatient, rude, vulgar , disrespectful, immature , greed for power name it
Kenyans must always remember that Adolf Hitler was one of the best sloganeers and mobilizers in the world, before he turned the world upside down.
Stop glorifying criminals, murderers, bandits, thugs and scoundrels like Babu Patel. Never, ever!
This was Babu Patel shooting DJ Evolve twice in the neck and not even bothering to offer life saving assistance. Babu Patel is a wild animal. Barbaric!
Colorism is racism’s quieter cousin, often normalized within our own communities.
We praise lighter skin, market “brightening” as beauty, and sometimes treat darker skin as something to fix.
Black skin does not need correction. Black is Beautiful!
This is a very mean and colorist picture and you should be ashamed of bullying a woman because of her color , we have been fighting colonialism for too long to go back to this!!! Wdym nakala chafu?
TSC team must have been looking at Teacher Cillah and George Ruto’s photos with their mouths wide open after sharing that circular just a few days ago. 😅 Hawakujua ilikuwa game ya urban areas.
But jokes aside, the circular actually got me thinking the day it was released:
Is TSC ready for the modern-day teacher in the age of social media?
Teacher Cillah is not new to social media. She has built a strong following, especially on TikTok and Instagram, by sharing snippets of her life as a teacher and moments from the classroom.
Her content is not the conventional teacher-at-the-board type. She uses humour, music, dance and everyday classroom moments to make learning fun and relatable. One thing you will also notice is that we usually do not see the faces of her learners, even when they are part of the content.
Then came the George Ruto story.
Teacher Cillah created a funny public “shoot-your-shot” content series. George unexpectedly played along, Kenyans became invested, and what started as an online joke quickly grew into a national conversation.
In between all this, TSC issued a circular warning teachers about unprofessional conduct on social media.
Then George eventually visited Teacher Cillah at her school.
What stood out for me was that the conversation did not end with the online jokes.
George also spoke about what he had learnt about Cillah beyond their social media exchanges, including her work supporting learners with special needs. He also said there were plans to support the school with football and learning equipment.
And that is where this story becomes bigger than Teacher Cillah and George Ruto.
The modern-day teacher lives and works in a very different communication environment.
A teacher today can be in class in the morning, create educational content in the afternoon, run a business in the evening, build a personal brand, influence conversations online and still remain a professional teacher.
Some will become content creators. Some will become influencers. Some will build large communities online. Others will use social media to explain difficult subjects, share teaching methods or showcase what is happening in our schools.
Teacher-creators can actually be an asset to Kenyan education.
Of course, this does not mean anything goes.
Learner privacy must be protected. Professional boundaries matter. Teachers should not use social media to bully, harass, exploit learners, expose confidential information or behave in ways that genuinely harm the profession.
But in my view, the conversation cannot only be about controlling what teachers do online.
TSC should advocate for good digital conduct, responsible content creation and clear professional boundaries, while also creating guidelines that accommodate the reality of the modern-day teacher.
Because social media is not going away, and neither is the teacher who has a life, a voice, a business, a personality and an audience beyond the classroom.
Perhaps the bigger question is not:
“How do we stop teachers from doing too much on social media?”
But rather:
“How do we prepare the modern-day teacher to use social media responsibly, professionally and to the benefit of education?”
