Men rarely make speeches about what they need. But that doesn’t mean they don’t have needs. Respect. Trust. Appreciation. Believing in them when life gets difficult. Ignore those things long enough and even the strongest connection begins to weaken.
Before and after.
This is a brilliant idea because it is a cost effective way of opening up rural low volume access roads. If only they did a slight modification by adding a third row to accommodate the oncoming traffic. It would be genius level. I am told it is in Murang’a. It’s not politics it’s brilliant.
At Kahuhia Girls’ High School, CCTV footage reportedly captured a student attempting to siphon fuel from the school’s generator. Following the incident, the administration ordered the indefinite closure of the institution.
Now pause for a moment and imagine you are a parent. Imagine watching that footage and realizing that the student involved is your own daughter.
Where did we go wrong as a society? Schools are meant to nurture discipline, responsibility, and integrity. Yet some students are engaging in behavior that puts themselves, their fellow learners, and school property at risk.
Parents, teachers, religious leaders, and the community must work together to instill values in our children. Academic excellence alone is not enough; character matters too.
The question is, if that were your child, what would your reaction be?
What is life Anyway? Elizabeth Njoki is 21 years old. She was born and raised in Nakuru by a banker father and a businesswoman mother. Her father built a 12-bedroom mansion and owned two cars while her mother ran a boutique. Life was comfortable until she was 12, when her father was diagnosed with cancer and diabetes. He died a month later.
Two weeks after the burial, her father's two brothers showed up and kicked the family out of their own home. They took the cars and the boutique, claiming everything belonged to their late brother. The family had nowhere to go.
They were taken in by a friend of her mother for two weeks. They then moved to Naivasha where another friend helped her mother find a job to provide for the children. The children went back to school and tried to accept their new reality.
After some time, the mother fell into depression and nearly lost her mind. Together with a friend, Njoki helped take her to Mathare Hospital where she was admitted. With her mother gone, Njoki dropped out of school and started doing casual jobs to buy food for her three siblings.
Her mother eventually got better and was discharged from hospital with help from the area MCA. Despite everything, Njoki managed to score 378 marks in her KCSE and a Good Samaritan paid for her entire secondary education.
But in Form Three, her mother's condition worsened again. She started disappearing for days at a time before returning home. Without her knowledge, some men took advantage of her situation and she came back pregnant. Njoki once again had to leave school and look for casual jobs to keep the family fed. Her mother later gave birth to their fifth child.
When they could not pay rent, the landlord locked them out with all their belongings still inside. A family friend then relocated them to their rural home in Kinangop to live with their grandmother. Things stabilised for a while. The children went back to school and Njoki adapted to a life of casual work because her mother's mental health kept deteriorating.
Their grandmother died in 2024 and they were kicked out of that home too. Njoki used her savings to rent a single room and life went on.
In June last year, Njoki collapsed and was rushed to hospital by a neighbour after she was found bleeding. Doctors discovered she had fibroids in her uterus requiring urgent surgery, or the uterus would have to be removed entirely to stop the bleeding. She could not raise the 80,000 shillings needed for the operation and continued living with the daily bleeding.
She was trying to manage her own condition, care for her mentally unstable mother, provide for the younger children and pay rent all at once. It became too much. The landlord kicked them out again and a neighbour took them in.
Then in August last year, their second born son was involved in an accident and died on the spot. Njoki went to the area chief who helped organise a simple burial within two days at a public cemetery in Longonot. Only a handful of people attended. Their mother was absent.
Njoki scored a B plus in KCSE. She had the grades to build a future for herself. Instead she chose to stay behind and hold her family together. Today she lives on hope alone, trusting that God will find a way through.
Fifty has a point... 50 Cent says, "My son Marquise is 27 and still asking for child support.
I give him $10,800 monthly, but he says it's not enough." "Success cost me my relationship with Marquise.
At 27, he should be ashamed to ask for child support. He thinks being 50 Cent's son means he doesn't have to work.
I offered to set up a business for him to earn $1 million a month, but he refused. He has an entitlement mentality, thinking my money is his.
It hurts to see him so irresponsible. I keep saying this publicly, hoping he'll be ashamed and start working. No matter how rich you are, never let your kids feel your money belongs to them."
A distressing situation has emerged in Kahawa Wendani, where a young mother and her 1-year-7-month-old baby have reportedly spent four consecutive nights sleeping in the open after being evicted from her uncle’s house.
According to her account, the woman had taken time off for over a year to care for her newborn before recently securing a job and moving in with her uncle in hopes of rebuilding her life. However, her stay was cut short when the uncle allegedly forced her out, citing plans to get married as the reason for reclaiming the space.
Left without shelter, the mother and child have been exposed to harsh conditions, raising concern among locals who have come across their situation.
