The same parents who travel long distances to help/ grieve/ celebrate their friends?
The ones greeting almost everyone from church to the market? They model alot about community and friendship. Alot of us think we're too good for mundane things.
Let's be serious please.
According to Maponga Marara, Africa is not governed by leaders but by businesspeople who have seized power and turned national treasuries into family estates: with no genuine concern for the people.
To drive this point home, he challenges such rulers to simply step into any African church and listen to the prayers of the congregation: parents pleading for a sick child, families begging for food, souls crying out for financial relief, marriages on the brink of collapse, communities ravaged by disease. He insists that solving these crises lies not with God, but squarely in the hands of politicians.
His conclusion is a searing rebuke: if African governments truly delivered, there would be far fewer prayers, and far fewer churches.
I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, “Never play fair in a game where others cheat.” It doesn’t mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they’ll throw dirt. Sometimes wisdom is not revenge. Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.
Ladies, you need to be babymaxxxxing...especially later in life.
Women who had a child after the age of 40 were FOUR TIMES more likely to live to 100.
Pregnancies massively increase progesterone, the most healing female hormone.
I don’t think many Kenyans have fully realized it yet, but we are living through one of the darkest periods in our nation's history. A time that arguably rivals only the British colonial era.
The debate is being framed incorrectly.
The issue is not the existence of CCTV cameras in school dormitory hallways. Surveillance in common areas is a standard safety measure in many boarding institutions and is often intended to enhance student security, emergency response, and accountability. Hallways are not private spaces.
The fundamental question is this: Why are students sleeping in hallways in the first place?
If learners are occupying corridors designed for movement and emergency evacuation, then the discussion should focus on overcrowding, inadequate infrastructure, student welfare, and compliance with minimum boarding standards.
A corridor is not a dormitory. It is not a sleeping area. The presence of students sleeping there points to a deeper institutional and policy failure that cannot be obscured by arguments about cameras.
Public attention should be directed toward capacity management, dormitory standards, and the conditions under which students are being accommodated. When a school reaches the point where hallways become sleeping quarters, the problem is not surveillance, it is overcrowding.
That is the issue that demands answers.
Unfortunately, I have to admit that I have not done my best. My current situation is a direct consequence of my incompetence. I suck at doing this life thing.
