Pep Guardiola: “What is Barça missing to win the Champions League? The Champions League is a competition that destroys projects, and I hope that’s not the case at Barça. We must not think that just because you don’t win it, everything that has been built is no good. The league is the competition that gives you consistency and continuity. In the Champions League, you need to reach the decisive stages in good condition, without injuries, and refereeing also has a huge impact.
What matters is that the daily work is excellent, that the team keeps growing and improving, and that they don’t believe the season is a failure just because they don’t reach the Champions League final or win it. The league is what sets the foundation for judging whether a season has been good or not [ @BarcaTimes@mundodeportivo ]
Students must understand that there are consequences when they set other human beings on fire.
When I visited Naivasha maximum prison I met the only suspect sentenced to death for the May 24, 1999 arson attack in Nyeri High School that claimed the lives of four prefects.
The student was 33 years old or thereabout when I met him. He was convicted by a juvenile court and later committed to life imprisonment after he turned 18.
The 2001 Kyanguli fire tragedy claimed the lives of 67 students. Two 16-year-olds were arrested and charged with murder. The judge handling the matter resigned in 2006 amid corruption-related allegations. A new judge declared the court matter a mistrial.
I took my time with the file, and it was clear that someone had done everything to make sure the two boys escaped justice. I tracked one down to an office in the CBD. He is somewhere out here.
The July 13, 1991, St Kizito High School massacre remains the most disturbing and heart-wrenching story I have covered.
The boys stormed the girls' dormitory. Reason? They had refused to join them in a strike.
In the ensuing violence, 71 school girls were raped and 19 of them lost their lives, mostly due to suffocation after being tightly packed into a corner during the attack.
Some were arrested and as usual, parents worked the justice system and many escaped the hangman’s noose.
But in a dark twist of events, most of the accused “turned mad”, and others ended up as drunks.
I remember visiting a lady now in her fifties who was still overwhelmed by the events of that night- oh she cried.
I met most of the boys then now men. Drunkards. Wasted.
Let’s see how the tragic Utumishi Fire tragedy plays out but if the prosecution proves those arrested are involved, it will be the end of school and freedom.
I have been to Nyeri, St Kizito, Kyanguli, Endarasha, and Bombolulu Girls' High School.
It's a life-changing experience!
No amount of justice or compensation can bring back the lives lost.

Rihanna grew up in poverty in Barbados, often going to school with worn-out shoes and sometimes walking barefoot when they broke. One of her teachers, Miss Roberts, quietly bought her a new pair with her own money and never told anyone. Rihanna later said she cried wearing them. Years later, after becoming a global superstar and billionaire, she reportedly learned Miss Roberts was retired and struggling. She bought her a house and continues supporting her with monthly financial help. A simple act of kindness became a lifelong circle of gratitude and love.
What a week to be a Gunner! 🔴⚪️
Seeing Game 31’s Player of the Match bossing the pitch in those iconic Old Cambrian colors? Some things are just written in the stars.
The standards are high, but the pedigree is higher. 🥂

2. Innovation: Officially opened a brand-new computer lab to bridge the digital divide.
3. Sustainability: Planted 400 trees to leave a green legacy for the school.
Huge thanks to the Standard Charted Kenya, Old Cambrian Society and the Nairobi School leadership for having us!
Yesterday, our outgoing Managing Director & CEO Kariuki Ngari led 85 colleagues in an inspiring mentorship day at Nairobi School.
We believe that empowering youth requires a holistic approach. Here’s how we spent our day:

and incredible colleagues at Nairobi School for a day dedicated to the next generation. We didn’t just visit; we invested:
1. Mentorship: Shared insights with 600 students on building resilience in today’s digital age.
After Arsenal’s potentially title-deciding win last night, what’s the current narrative? If Arsenal had lost and City won, it would have centred on our mentality. However, since that didn’t happen, the focus is on how we won. They still criticise us.
Don’t listen to the outside noise. Support the Arsenal until the end.
Moments from Interview Day for the OCS & OCSET (UK) Bursary Scheme. We met incredible young men at Nairobi School who show immense promise but face significant financial hurdles.
We don't just want them to "get by"; we want them to excel.
The last ten days will have been quite the eye-opener for Ethan Nwaneri - and valuable for his development. Marseille is a rollercoaster.

🚨🚨 BREAKING: The High Court Has Confirmed That WhatsApp Chats Can Create a Binding Contract
The High Court has upheld a KSh 145,000 judgment arising from an agreement that was never written, never signed, and never stamped. In Fredrick Ochiel v Kennedy Okoth (2026), the Court dealt with a dispute over an ultrasound machine that had been leased based on phone calls and WhatsApp messages. The machine was collected, used, partially paid for, and never returned. When payment was demanded, the defence was simple: there was no agreement. The Court disagreed. It found that the parties had agreed on the daily charge, acted on that agreement, and communicated consistently about payment and return through their phones.
In dismissing the appeal, the Court reaffirmed a settled but often ignored principle of contract law: a contract does not have to be written to be enforceable. Oral agreements are valid if offer, acceptance, and consideration can be proved. In this case, the WhatsApp messages, SMS exchanges, partial payment, and conduct of the parties left no doubt that there was a meeting of minds. The Court was clear that courts will not rewrite contracts or rescue parties from bargains they voluntarily entered into, unless there is fraud, coercion, or illegality. “There was no written agreement” was not a defence where the evidence showed otherwise.
For the ordinary mwananchi, this judgment is a quiet but powerful warning. If you agree on terms over WhatsApp, take someone’s property, benefit from it, and promise to pay, the law will hold you to that promise. Your messages are not just casual chats; they can become legal evidence. Before dismissing a dispute with “tulikua tunaongea tu,” remember this decision. In today’s Kenya, a phone conversation can create real legal obligations with real financial consequences.

Today, President Trump announced the U.S. is leaving 66 anti-American, useless, or wasteful international organizations. Review of additional international organizations remains ongoing.
These withdrawals keep a key promise President Trump made to Americans - we will stop subsidizing globalist bureaucrats who act against our interests. The Trump Administration will always put America and Americans first.
