One day someone will write the history of Kenya and say, here lie the ruins of a nation destroyed by greed.

It is only this year that I recognized how brutal and passive aggressive Kenya is. We hate those who excel, and we also hate those who do not win the rat race. So our lives are a constant and painful bumping between the two walls of the national path called average.

You get what you negotiate.

Not what you deserve.

[Micharazzo. @Kurgat__]

So many things matters. I hope you also do.

After 27 days in Kenya, I observed the some things:

Apart from serving overflowing food on small plates instead of letting everybody serve what they want and add if they need to, I noted these.

¹A Kenyan finds it easy to lie without blinking, and disappearing with the phone switched off is better than explaining why they can't do something sacred upon. Don't believe a promise, until you see it delivered. Especially regarding money.

²Kenyans don't have a NO in their vocabulary. Every question is answered with a YES, apparently the tone, decibels and swearing are qualifiers on deliverability. Codes understood only by those familiar with Kenyanese

³Bangi is prevalent and chang'aa is spiked. These days paid by MPESA.

⁴A lot of people are steeped in betting debts, dreaming about the allure of some elusive quick wins. One father earned me about his son. A petulant money borrower. That he sunk some 200k into sport betting! We need counsellors to detox these people.

⁵There's a lot of money in very few hands. Some of it with inexplicable sources. Nay. Most of it. Almost everybody else is choking in debt.

⁶Everybody I met speaks big about some coming money, a big payout. Then asks for money! Refer to ¹

⁷The farms, especially tea plucking, are run by women, "married" to Psuluali who brag at shopping centres about imaginary connections and sterile political influence. Without our girls, most families would have no food, children wouldn't go to school! Perhaps it's who tea plucking should be mechanised

⁸There's immense potential in AGRIBUSINESS and AGROPROCESSING and today's young millionaires building sustainable generational businesses and wealth are venturing into commercial agriculture and animal husbandry. I needed KES 1m urgently and it's a young farmer who dropped it on my MPESA without a blink!

⁹Kenyans, most of them, have a poor reading culture and can't sustain a step-by-step process, if longer than 140 characters. Interestingly, they love
commenting without reading! Take the example of the magic of @WIDU_africa. Despite numerous posts, and a lite bullet points on "how it works" (https://t.co/GyEKscwlIq), I still encounter people who can't read and interpret. Worse, I get people who blame the programme requirement for a Diaspora partner. Nobody can help you build your NETWORKS. But remember "your network is your net worth".

¹⁰Finally, there's a huge malaise called "do it for us", "help us", who is this "us"? #KokweetReflections #HappyNewYear #YesWIDU @EllyKurgat_ @ArapTilingi

@rox_kiko Exactly my thinking too, Glad to see I’m not alone, hopefully by New Year’s he’s gone. On the bright side Sancho stays.

Money no dey bring happiness

Once you’re privileged enough mentally to process and understand the truth, the facts in their entirety you only have yourself to blame every time you disrespect this privilege and yourself. This is the worst privilege to abuse.
