A society that doesn't encourage people to have a self concept beyond money or achievements will do that to you. Worse, we got colonized and our traditions, which would be a source of that self concept, got wiped or demonized.

It's not the school. It's the society. There's too much going on that discourages young people from developing the discipline to work. To learn to read, write and build one's memory and skill takes work. Capitalism hates work and has taught that hatred to our children.

And worse, the richest people are proudly the dumbest. And they keep saying with their words, and confirming with their actions, that an empty head and loud mouth are economically viable. From the influencers to the journalists to the politicians to the so called first trillionaire, that's the message. Be stupid, and money will follow.

I cried about this alot, until CBC. From CBC, I learned that Kenyans, like the good Anglo-American disciples that they are, hate knowledge and skills. Absolutely hate them. They love money and positions, not work. They love talking about knowledge and skills, but not the work to develop them. They've learned that from motivational speaking and prosperity gospel industries that looking like you're rich, "declaring" that your rich in that biblical magician's name, will eventually make you rich. Not work.

So now I just do the motions like the students. I cover the syllabus, and wait for the day of reckoning when the Kenyan society actually confronts this nonsense. And I don't see that day coming any time soon.

@wanguwamajani @waweru I think you missed the point on American exceptionalism-America’s “inability to see others as fully human”. Even those well travelled think the same. In fact they use experiences and “law” to justify their ills. Comes from layers of racism & hate. Like the Epstein club members

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

I'm not religious by any means but if I were God, it would be evident that based on the geographical arrangement of the world, I have my favourites.

Africa is that favourite. There is literally no material or human resource under the sun that cannot be found here in absurd quantities. We have EVERYTHING that humanity has ever fought wars over, in such quantities that I can understand why Leopold described Africa as a 'geological scandal.'

We are so absurdly stacked that even despite having the largest empire in history standing on our necks and extra ting ruthlessly for 500 years, we have still managed to be the world's 2nd most populous continent and by far the world's fastest growing population. No matter how breathlessly they extract, there are so many resources that 1.5 billion people still manage to exist without really doing so on purpose or having a plan for the future.

We are still the sovereign owners of this land, but at the rate we are fucking around, not for much longer. Nature has a habit of taking away gifts that are not utilised. If despite having all that we have, plus cheap instant communication and Ethiopian Airlines that reliably puts 90% of us within 6 hours of each other, we STILL manage to come out of the 21st century losing, then we will have fully earned the loss of our homeland and our disappearance from the earth, the same way the Mayans and Aztecs disappeared.

When Ibrahim Traoré says "Homeland or Death," it's not a patriotic slogan.

It's a statement of ugly fact.

@lynn_ngugi1 Take legal action and sue all those involved. Demand answers from people responsible. I think they want everyone to be quiet so this can just pass without them commenting or addressing the issue

[Okiya Omtatah Okoiti @OkiyaOmtatah]

I have filed a Constitutional Petition No. E757 of 2025 in the High Court to defend the integrity of Kenya’s presidential election process and to uphold the Constitution of Kenya, 2010.

This petition challenges the unconstitutional establishment and operation of the National Tallying Centre during presidential elections, as well as Sections 39, 39(1C), 39(1G) of the Elections Act and Regulation 83(2) of the Elections (General) Regulations.

The Constitution is clear:
✔️ Presidential results are tallied, verified, and declared at the 290 constituencies, and those results are final and binding.
✔️ The role of the @IEBCKenya Chairperson under Article 138(10) is strictly clerical; to add up constituency results and declare the winner.
❌ The Chairperson cannot verify, re-tally, alter, or overturn any constituency result.
❌ No law or regulation may introduce a second layer of verification at county or national level.

Yet, current laws and @IEBCKenya practice unlawfully create a parallel system of verification at the National Tallying Centre, which:
• Treats final constituency results as provisional;
• Enables interference, manipulation, and delays;
• Undermines transparency and fuels mistrust;
• Violates the people’s sovereign will as expressed at the constituency level.

This petition seeks, among other declarations:
🔹 Abolition of the National Tallying Centre as currently constituted;
🔹 Quashing of unconstitutional provisions in the Elections Act and Regulations;
🔹 Immediate public posting of final constituency results at each constituency;
🔹 Removal of illegal verification powers from County Returning Officers and the IEBC Chairperson;
🔹 Restoration of strict compliance with Articles 86 and 138 of the Constitution.

If successful, this petition will fundamentally transform the management of presidential elections from 2027 onwards, ensuring a transparent, decentralised, and constitutionally faithful process with no “Bomas drama” and no ambiguity.

Our democracy must be anchored not on improvised systems, but on the letter and spirit of our Constitution. This petition is part of my continued commitment to defend the rule of law, protect the sovereign will of the people, and secure free, fair, and credible elections.

How come Kenyans, with Kenyan education, are among the most productive in diaspora yet in Kenya we keep hearing that we have educated unemployment because of our education system. That we lack job competencies, appropriate skill...
Our economy is the problem, not education system

[Jebo Rotich @jebo_rotich]

@amenya_nelson I wish we Kenyans could see that @DavidHundeyin is fighting the same beast we are. Nigeria and Kenya are the same and going through the same struggles at the moment. One may be more sunken than the other but for sure we Kenyans are heading there. Vita vya panzi, furaha ya Kunguru

We keep saying this about the "awards" given for scientific innovation in Kenya and we're told it's a conspiracy theory.

[Chaos Theory @Samwyri]

Reason most Africans who secure permanent residency or just visa stop being prayerful is they notice most of their problems were governance issues. Gonna get flak for this but evangelicalism is one of the biggest enablers of bad governance in Africa. Robs citizens of agency, gives governments a buffer. There is a reason governments love evangelical churches

A great tragedy. And the wider conflict will forever be a stain on the record of Africa’s current ruling elites. The Continent failed the great people of Sudan.
