Attention all doomscrollers & brain-rot addicts!
Guilt tripping yourself about sleeping at 2 a.m.? @jacqy_oh says you shouldn’t! Social Media is a cultural artifact of our time. But be warned - she’s also gardening, singing in a choir, and about to start crocheting.

A trillion shillings here and a trillion shillings there, and before we knew it, Kenya owes
local lenders KES 6.7 trillion. But how did the political elite turn domestic lenders into
their debt playmates? @MarsGroupKenya has all the tea ☕(as the kids say).

Business owners are increasingly dissolving companies due to increased checks from KRA, strict regulatory demands, and tough disclosure rules.
Data from the Business Registration Service shows that 56 firms were dissolved last month, with 118 more expected by October
Btw I have never told this story, all my earnings from Commonwealth Games 2014 & Rio 2016 Olympics, around 1.7M at that time went to build my parents a home.
I had to start over again but nothing beats the feeling of having a place to call home, after having gone through the experience of living with relatives and being hosted by friends( I would rather live with friends over again than relatives) it was always my dream when I started playing rugby to break that cycle in the family.
It’s also the reason why as much as I love money as anyone else, it’s not what defines me as a man, the value of money is not in the things it can buy, but the lives you can positively impact with it. No matter how much you make, you will never feel like you have made enough, but the little happiness you get by spending on those who need it the most will live with you forever.
THE GREATNESS OF A MAN IS NOT HOW MUCH WEALTH HE AQUIRES, BUT IN HIS INTEGRITY AND HIS ABILITY TO AFFECT THOSE AROUND HIM POSITIVELY.
Wealth creation basket:
- MMFs
- Stocks
- Bonds
- Real Estate
Wealth Protection basket:
- Health Insurance
- Life Insurance
- Car Insurance
Often, we prioritize wealth creation and forget the importance of wealth protection.
Four months after exiting Nigeria, GlaxoSmithKline (@GSK), a British pharmaceutical multi-national, has closed its operations in Kenya.
The company which has operated in Kenya for nearly 6 decades attributes its exit to low sales and a shift in focus to its more profitable prescription drugs and vaccines business.
I met a lady over the weekend who told me that she has spent 200M KES to build her premium club. I was shocked.
I asked her why not Manufacturing or Agriculture? She laughed so hard, she almost choked on her meal.
She said, Kenya 🇰🇪 is not meant for manufacturing or agriculture. The leaders and police won’t let that happen because they won’t make any money. Clubs make money for everyone as they charge gullible Kenyans for over priced fake drinks.
