Every morning,
You meet men crawling from prison.
Their shirts look like they were pulled from a bottle.
Their pair of trousers are worn out,
Their faces are long and sad,
Their masculine energy is fading. They walk tired, gazing into an emptiness.
These are men stuck in houses where their wives terrorize them.
They sit in these houses because they are afraid to leave.
They built nothing that belongs to them. They own nothing. Just children who have been strategically weaponized against him.
When they retire from civil service or as teachers or as employees in Indian-owned companies, they resign themselves to fate, enduring insults and mistreatment from their domineering wives.
Their only hope is to sit at the bus terminus, betting and gambling, hoping to undo their years of financial losses.
But it gets worse, they suffer hypertension, diabetes and prostate enlargement.
They become a burden to their families, and they are abandoned in the corner of the house to nurse a chronic ailment.
Their years of sacrifice get swept away by comments from their children,
"Our father spent years drinking and entertaining hoodrats. It is our mother who took us to school."
Or their wives,
"When other men were building wealth, what were you doing? I can't continue living with you."
Yet, his productive years were spent on providing for the family without fail.
Pain and agony, as he counts his last breaths.
Then, one day, the sun will rise without him.
The main door of the house will open without his cough.
His chair at the corner will wait for his warmth, but it won't come.
His legacy gets buried deep with his regrets.
Forgotten.
In the ruins of his sunk-cost fallacy.
If you are a man reading this, start building your fallback architecture now.
Remember,
You can lie down for people to walk on you, and they will still complain that you aren't flat enough.
Your independence, in old age, is your wealth.
WAKE UP!
Power reveals character. Not position. Some bosses wear wealth [or power] like a crown and use it as a weapon. True leaders lift people, not humiliate them." . The BBI Bomas conference ,
Good morning,
It is a new month,
Welcome to July.
Make new decisions this month:
• Wake up early.
• Move your body.
• Protect your health.
• Build your skills.
• Work relentlessly.
Discipline will turn an ordinary month into an extraordinary year.
Ok. I'll be that girl who corrects you, because you all already hate me for speaking the truth anyways....
Most women actually desperately WANT to be that last lady holding the flowers. You've found a man who has game, experience and she's the LAST in that line, there's no one behind her. So he is loyal.
You're just trying to get back at men for doing the reverse of this because you're ashamed of your body count but the reality is that the same rules don't apply for men and women.
Sis to sis: stop lying to yourself.
Men,
MENTAL WELLNESS
"I want to marry a working-class woman so that we can help each other."
You are a fool.
WAKE UP and slap yourself.
Guard your mental frame.

Cow foot soup, also known as KIGERE or MLOKONI, is one of the most nutritious traditional broths.
Before collagen powders were sold in fancy containers, our grandparents were drinking KIGERE.
When most people see the hoof, they walk away!
The tendons, cartilage, ligaments, skin, and connective tissues in the cow's foot are rich in collagen, gelatin and calcium.
When cooked, these compounds dissolve into the soup, creating a thick, nourishing broth.
Cow hoof soup is traditionally given to recovering patients, postpartum mothers, babies and the elderly.
Collagen and gelatin provide amino acids that support the repair of joints, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, skin, and connective tissues throughout the body.
For men whose knees crack when climbing stairs, whose backs ache after a long day, or whose recovery after exercise takes longer, then kigere is the traditional broth for healing and recovery.
