Transparency Builds Trust

[Cyprian, Is Nyakundi @C_NyaKundiH]

The day X suspends you is the day you truly realize how little you matter to these platforms. One moment you are visible, the next you are locked out, removed from WhatsApp influencer groups, and treated like you no longer exist.

That is why you should never allow yourself to be controlled by Kenyans on any platform. Do what you believe in. Speak how you want to speak. You will never please people online anyway. In fact, the moment you cross 100,000 followers, many people start wanting to see you fall.

I say this from experience. This account was suspended for five years, from 2018 until Elon Musk bought X and granted amnesty. Very few people get nuked like that and manage to make a comeback.

The lesson is simple.... be multi-platform. Social media is rented space. You can lose your account at any time.

What matters most is strengthening your brand and offering something only you can offer, something valuable and unique enough that even if you are taken down, people will still look for you and you can rise again.

If there is one thing you should never tolerate on social media, it is being controlled like a remote. You cannot please people here. Many of them simply want to see you down.

When a product is being advertised on TV, especially by "experts,"

— Just know it is not food.

It is a product, not food.

Don't eat it. Don't drink it.

I don't know why many never listen. 🤔

[Dr. Kipkoech Cheruiyot @kipkoecheruiyot]

Bribed votes elect thieves, and thieves don’t build nations—they loot them.

[Juma G 🇰🇪 @jumaf3]

99 percent of your workmates are not friends. They are your workmates. Call me paranoid but I am telling you. That is it. They will smile, gossip, play games, hold drinking parties, but they will always be workmates, competitors.

Get to work every morning, work, earn, laugh with some, cross with some, and go home to those who matter; family. Your closest family will always be there for you. They will miss you when your lights on earth finally fade. Focus.
