trippy life

[George T. Diano @georgediano]

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.

A Kenyan by the name Elias Wekesa has taken Safaricom to court, and every Kenyan should pay attention.

He says Safaricom deactivated his line after it stayed inactive for a few months, then reassigned it to another person.

When he tried using it again, he was met with a shock.

The number was gone.

Worse, he says he could no longer receive OTPs from his bank and other platforms tied to that number.

This case matters because it touches every Kenyan.

Because your phone number is no longer just a number.

It is tied to your bank account.
Your email.
Your work accounts.
Your private life.

The moment that number is handed to someone else, the risks begin.
OTPs can go elsewhere.
Recovery codes can land in another person’s hands.

Account alerts can reach a stranger.

That person is not just holding a SIM card.
They may be holding access to parts of your digital life.

And if they have bad intentions, the damage can be immediate.

And for families who have lost loved ones, it cuts even deeper.

A parent’s number.
A sibling’s number.
A loved one’s number.

One day, it holds memories.

The next day, it belongs to a stranger.

This is why Safaricom must be forced to create stronger safeguards before reassigning numbers.
Because in today’s world, a phone number is not disposable.
It is identity.

And identity should never be reassigned without protection.

This @SafaricomPLC app is a mess.

[Sholla Ard 🇰🇪 @sholard_mancity]

Safaricom removed a perfectly working M-Pesa app and forced this ‘one app’ on everyone, for what?

It keeps freezing, lagging, crashing, and can’t even search contacts properly.

Now, after the latest update, I need a SIM card on my phone just to use an app in 2026??

Did anyone even test this thing before rollout?

Nothing about this is better. Nothing.

People are just enduring it because there’s no alternative.

You can’t tell me I’m the only one dealing with this

He had to sit on the floor because apparently all the beds were occupied.
He had pneumonia and we were referred here because there wasn't enough oxygen at the previous hospital.

William Ruto 9 Months ago: "Sifuna anaongea na nguvu sana lakini ajue mimi ni founder member wa ODM, na akinisukuma sana nitaita mkutano na we shall discipline him."

It is not ODM that has removed Sifuna, it is William Ruto through the transactional wing.

Coptic Hospital is under fire for detaining a woman in the hospital for over six months after her medical bill rose to KSh 3 million, an amount she cannot afford. The woman is reportedly being held at the hospital together with her newborn baby.

I have been thinking about how Banks and Mobile Money providers can better protect customers during theft or carjacking situations.

Imagine this:
A customer has their normal PIN, but also a duress PIN. For example, if the real PIN is 2244, entering 4422 (the reverse) silently signals distress.

What happens next?
-The system displays a decoy balance (e.g. 100 bob).
-Withdrawals and transfers are limited.
-The account is silently flagged on the bank’s end.

No alerts, no alarm, just quiet protection

In high-risk situations, customers are often forced to unlock phones or banking apps. A solution like this gives them a way to comply without escalating danger while still protecting their funds.

Similar “panic codes” already exist in security systems so why not in everyday banking and mobile money?

This could significantly improve customer safety,
fraud prevention and trust in financial institutions.

I’d love to see banks, fintechs and regulators explore ideas like this especially in regions where these risks are real and frequent.
