We are ready!!!! Naboisho Leadership Institute is ready to start the work on the ground TODAY ni vile tu hatujapata start-off funding. But everything else is ready. We just need money to start.

Any funder/philanthropist - we are open for work!! Tag them far and wide!

I agree with Atwoli, IN PRINCIPLE. But he's talking of the natural progression of society, the young work and gain experience, and become leaders based on that experience. And Kenya is NOT a normal society. The British messed that up.

As @TedQuinton said, in 1963, the 27 year olds straight out of school, who should have been starting work, were becoming leaders in 1963 by virtue of their certificates. Not only were they young, inexperienced and clueless; they were looking at least 20 years in office before retirement. So they were never real youth, meaning people who learned through WORK. They never matured, and imperialism was very effective in seducing them with consumerism and power as the equivalent of leadership. So they didn't build institutions I'm which they could graduate to elders and invite the young to nurture them so that they grow through work. That's why our elites are perpetually young. They never grew up.

The British messed us up, big time. The messed up natural progression of growth, maturity and hand over.

I asked @Wordslinger__ that when Naboisho Institute is ready, to please find me young Kenyans who want to be mentored as academics outside the university. People who are willing to commit years to learning. It takes years to get where I am, but Kenyan post graduate students don't care to learn the work. They want papers. So we babysit them to produce a decent document and then go. I am going to retire without mentoring a single student, in the real sense of the word. Passing them, I've done. Mentoring them? Nope. The few students that I tried with said I was controlling them. Maybe because in their view, I'm not a leader. Nikaacha na hiyo stori.

@CanisLupus003 I have a 30l water drum I don't use that is now filled with Carrefour shopping and allied bags 🤭🤭🤭. And plastic bin liners.

So @CanisLupus003 sent me down a Hoarder's rabbit hole and I'm seeing hoarders from a different lens and common threads:
1. Hoarding is an anxiety spectrum disorder
2. Trauma/loss/grief can trigger it
3. Ageing and loss of functionality can trigger it. This was my big one.

“I heard Uhuru Kenyatta saying that he had been going around where porridge is served, claiming that people had already made up their minds. I want to tell him to get opinions from sober people not from people who have been drinking alcohol.” - President Ruto

@CanisLupus003 See these examples of before/after hoarder houses.

I wonder if we have these in Kenya and how it computes. Coz I've seen people move 3 trucks of stuff into a tiny 2 bed and I wonder how they'll even breathe in there...

[Writer | Climber | Mother of Dragons | Kas Ka Gan @Wordslinger__]

@CanisLupus003 How we've filled our internal spaces with so much "stuff" and are sleeping on a couch or squeezed in between mountains of stuff because there's no space left to sleep properly or even shower.
"My stuff" kwako ni nini?

[Writer | Climber | Mother of Dragons | Kas Ka Gan @Wordslinger__]

@CanisLupus003 Exactly, and I see this more in men. Projects that include fixing cars and you end up with 20 scrap metal cars that you haven't touched in years.

BREAKING: Thomas Massie’s resolution to impeach Pete Hegseth fails in the House 211-204, after 11 Democrats failed to show up for the vote.

If those 11 Democrats had showed up, Hegseth would have been impeached 215-211.

Gosh this is just sickening 😭😭😭.

[Kingpin of Kenya @ClintonObonyo]

A Meru son, Kevin Mugambi Gitari, is serving 3 years in a Saudi jail for transporting alcohol that wasn’t his.
He was a junior staffer at the Kenyan Embassy in Riyadh. On 16 June 2026, diplomats Linah Lumidi and Charles Oure bought the alcohol (allowed only for diplomats). They handed it to Kevin to transport in his car. When Saudi authorities asked the ambassador to confirm this, he refused. Kevin took the full fall.
There are receipts, CCTV of the handover, and a voice recording of the diplomats admitting to Kevin’s wife that the alcohol belonged to them.
Yet nothing has been done.
Why did the ambassador refuse to protect his own staff?
Why is a junior employee carrying the cross for diplomats?
Where is the PS for Diaspora Affairs while a Kenyan sits in a Saudi prison for someone else’s drink?

Hii nchi inachosha 🫩🫩🫩. Even cold medication for kids, parents are usually afraid of the expensive meds finishing quickly, so they try to stretch it. People are even living with pain because good NSAIDs are expensive - or taking the mara mojas killing our kidneys. Hate it!

Antoney Kibagendi: Cancer patients are choosing between travelling to Nairobi for their radiotherapy and buying food. Patients are even rationing their medicine just to be able to buy groceries.

Gituku: Who told you that?

Antoney Kibagendi: We have witnesses. We were going through hospitals the past 2 weeks. We were in Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Hospital, Moi Teaching and Referral hospital and Kenyatta hospital #CitizenDayBreak
