Very many women still aspire to a family; to a husband & kids. They should attend the Masika masterclass if they want to. If all you aspire to is a cat & a nose ring, we will call you for the ginger cat & nose ring conventions. We're not responsible for your problems with men.

[Bro From Siaya @_Sakko]

Some people sabotage good relationships, marriages, friendships, jobs, and careers through poor decisions. Then, when the consequences catch up with them, they let emotion take center stage and go looking for sympathy instead of taking accountability. Growth begins the moment we stop rewriting the story to make ourselves the victim and start owning the choices that brought us here.

Hahahahahahha ...na bado

The hijacked Revolution of 1963
As the British partially ceded power & retreated after failing to quell the uprising, they staged colonial Kenya's 12th round of sham elections to legitimize colonial puppets that were getting installed under traitor Kamau wa Ngegi's KANU umbrella.

A Danish scientist counted bugs on the same windshield, same road, same conditions, every year for 20 years. By year 20, 80% of the insects were gone.

In Germany, a group of volunteer bug scientists did something even bigger. They set traps in 63 nature reserves, not farms, protected land, and weighed everything they caught. Same traps, same method, 27 years straight. The total weight of flying bugs dropped 76%. In midsummer, when insects should be peaking, it was 82% gone. A follow-up in 2020 and 2021 checked again. No recovery.

In the UK, they literally ask drivers to count splats on their license plates after a trip. The 2024 count came back 63% lower than just 2021. Three years.

A 2020 study pulled together 166 surveys from 1,676 locations around the world. Land insects are disappearing at roughly 9% every ten years.

Here’s where it hits your plate. About 75% of the food crops we grow depend on insects to pollinate them, everything from apples to almonds to coffee. One 2025 study modeled what a full pollinator collapse would look like: food prices jump 30%, the global economy takes a $729 billion hit, and the world loses 8% of its Vitamin A supply.

Birds are already feeling it. North America has lost 2.9 billion birds since 1970. A study from just weeks ago found half of 261 bird species on the continent are now in serious decline, and the losses are speeding up in farming regions. The birds that eat insects lost 2.9 billion. The birds that don’t eat insects? They gained 26 million. That ratio tells the whole story.

One of the German researchers behind the 27-year study drives a Land Rover. He says it has the aerodynamics of a refrigerator. It stays clean now.

Children don't read because their parents don't read. We'll soon be led by an entire generation that has never cracked open a book. Not a single book in the home. This frightens me more than the idea of nuclear threat or a foreign power attacking us. We're imploding from within.

[Edwin Sifuna @edwinsifuna]

Omwami @orengo_james Im honored to even know you, privileged that i get to learn at your feet, an inexplicable twist of history that I get to call you a comrade in a fight for a better Kenya, just like you did with my Uncle Lawrence. Mimi yangu ni kukuombea maisha marefu. Happy Birthday Sir! History will be kind.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

This teacher-turned-cognitive scientist shared a disturbing reality that left the room stunned.

“Our kids are LESS cognitively capable than we were at their age.”

Every previous generation outperformed its parents since we began recording in the late 1800s.

So, what happened?

Screens.

Dr. Jared Horvath explained:

“Gen Z is the first generation in modern history to underperform us on basically every cognitive measure we have, from basic attention to memory, to literacy, to numeracy, to executive functioning, to EVEN GENERAL IQ, even though they go to more school than we did.”

“So why? … The answer appears to be the tools we are using within schools to drive that learning (screens).”

“If you look at the data, once countries adopt digital technology widely in schools, performance goes down significantly, to the point where kids who use computers about five hours per day in school for learning purposes will score over two-thirds of a standard deviation LESS than kids who rarely or never touch tech at school. And that’s across 80 countries.”

But screens aren’t just decimating learning and making new generations less intelligent than the ones before them.

They’re doing something far worse. And when you take a closer look, it isn’t pretty. 🧵

@Ludwig290795 @Chizitere_xyz Guys here seem to be stuck in 2019.The reality in a woman's dynamic is that is she can't trust you to handle your problem the attraction fades quickly

[Lukas Not Podolski @OtitoNosike]

I remain forever detached from the need to prove my worth financially to a woman before she meets my request for a relationship. Not because money is unimportant, but because affection that must be purchased is already compromised. I am not opposed to generosity; I am opposed to prequalification.

Desire, if it is real, should precede comfort, not wait for it. I want to be chosen before the upgrades, before the assurances, before the performance. Not because I lack ambition, but because I refuse to mistake provision for personality or security for love.

If my presence is insufficient without proof of future convenience, then what is being sought is not me, but a projection of what I might one day provide. And I have no interest in being loved in advance for a version of myself that does not yet exist.

As Vincent van Gogh once reasoned, “If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is grass in the beginning.” Worth is not retroactive. It is not granted by arrival. It exists, or it does not.

[Favored Sinner @FavoredSinner]

One of the best things my brother said to me this year was that people usually have a real reason for everything they do. That thought genuinely changed how I see people, and myself.

The human brain is powerful, but it was built for survival, not success. It chooses comfort over stress by default. Even though we all have the ability to think long term, plan, and push through discomfort, most of the time we do not use that part of the brain properly.

We see successful people and we know what they did to get there. The problem is not understanding the steps or read their books. The problem is being willing to go through the same discomfort every day without stopping. Our brains are not used to that level of consistency, so they push back.

Take something simple. If you spent three hours a day learning a skill instead of watching films or scrolling, this time next year you would be good enough to make money from it. That is not a theory. It is basic repetition.

We all have access to information now. AI, books, videos, courses. Information is not the issue. The issue is that learning and applying it feels uncomfortable, boring, and slow. So we avoid it and tell ourselves stories instead.

Since that realisation, I stopped waiting until I feel like doing things. When my brain hesitates or tries to delay, I act immediately. I do not argue with it anymore. I just do the work.

[Okong' Okuna @XivTroy]

I guess by now you understand why your parents didn't go home to see their parents too often. Going home is not just going home in majority Africa. Going home is a pocket affair. Your pockets must be as full as your heart.

[Okong' Okuna @XivTroy]

I have often said that the majority African men are childless. It is in fact, the same circle of 5 men behind the 100 unclaimed pregnancies out there. Every 10 "illegitimate" kids trace back to 2 men (at most 3) who have been married at least once. Yet we as a collective get the flak for the sins committed by less than 8% of us.

I mean, if among 100% of men, you all were impregnated by 4%, why should the 96% be held responsible for your lack of discernment? Out of every 10 men in the 35-45 age bracket, only 2 are actively married, 6 never married and have no kids, and 2 divorced. Why must we - as a collective - be defined by the gross outliers (2 married)? Beats common sense.

I swear, everyone is lamenting deadbeat fathers online but check your circles as a man. In mine, none of them - absolutely none - is a deadbeat father. Of say 40 dudes, only 4 are married, and of those, only 2 have kids, the rest of us are cruising through life without any domestic ties. Childless. Focused on their thing.

And I keep saying, we are so obvious as a gender, we literally cannot keep a ruse past 2 weeks: A man cannot pick your calls at night, he lives with his wife but they are not sleeping on the same bed, they have been separating for the last 2 years, he only sees you at night, never invites you to his place, it's always BNB and your house, even a bread would tell it is being lied to.

But you bought it because the ranger rover leather felt nice, and your friends were jealous of the vacation pictures. Which is honestly fine by me, it is your prerogative, but when shit hits the fan, why must I ask a faultless man be dragged into the equation? I have no problem with women dating married men, it's a personal choice. And an economic, supply-demand factor.

What I have a problem with is women pretending not to know these men were married. In fact, because of the comfort he afforded you, you hoped you could wrestle him from his wife's grasp, and enjoy the spoils alone. And when that failed, it was easier to hide in the "I didn't know he was married" cloak, because you imagined it could afford you some grace from future dating prospects, when the consequence is loud (kids).

But honestly, no man takes you seriously after that. Because we, too, have been men all our lives. We know how shit we are at covering our tracks, and how territorial women get with men they are dating. You saw the lipstick in his car, he had to attend his niece's school day. And what unmarried man wears leather sandals with jeans FFS?!

Talking about men don't hold their friends accountable. We don't know deadbeats. That's your circle, not ours. Birds of the same feather flock together. Preferably in overpriced hiding spots like Samaki Samaki. That is why most single men cannot relate. Sunday finds active single men on hikes, playing games, in football pitches, in their shops etc. What single man goes to a club/bar at 2 pm on a Sunday to listen to rhumba? That's a man escaping the noise in his house. Let's be honest with each other please. When you were on that plane to Malaysia, it was "my man", now the kid needs his 7th pamper for the day, it is "men". No, thank you.

I understand that there is also an evolutionary basis behind falling for a made man, but he is in his 40s for the love of God, with all the masculinity (read financial stability) he exudes, no other woman saw him and snatched him? Really? Just you. You are the special one.

Just raise your kids in peace and keep us out of it. I do not have a baby mama. None of my friends have a baby mama. Deadbeats I only encounter online, in your threads. We do not know any deadbeats. There is no one to hold accountable.
