Imagine Chief Officer wa Nairobi County anapatikana na 250m kwa nyumba, calculate how much Sakaja has stocked in his house based on the principle of seniority.

@vsquared_care is it that you have no more capacity, or you are contented with the clients you have - not onboarding new ones?

KRA wants a share of dowry money.

There is a guy called Kamau.

When it was time to buy his wife, he mobilized his most monied buddies.

He put them in a WhatsApp group. The fundraising began.

Those boys were loaded. They were only 35.
By by the time they were done, they had contributed 4.5 million shillings.

Others who were not in the group wired money directly to Kamau's bank account.

The ruracio D-Day arrived.

And as always, the one and only Kikuyu ruracio anthem was tuned.

🎶 Wero... Werokamu guku kwa wa Kanini... Werokamu... 🎶

Before they could finish the song, more than 2,000 people had pulled up.

Wakaanza kutoa funjo. Then one man stood on a stool and announced they could not sit until they had given Kamau top up money to add to the dowry.

The donation book was hurriedly brought. People lined up. Cash started flowing.

By the end of the day, another 2.8 million shillings had been raised.

Kamau took the money and banked it.

Total dowry contribution sitting at his bank account: 8m shillings.

The ceremony became the talk of Gatundu South.

Kamau paid his dowry. Collected his wife. And went home peacefully.

• Lesson 1. Monied friends are good for paying dowry.

I have no clue how. But sometime later, Kamau was marked for a KRA tax audit.

KRA went straight for his bank statements. They found deposits of 8 million shillings.

Immediately, they baptized the entire amount as undeclared taxable income.

Then demanded: 30% income tax. Penalties plus interest.

Total bill: 2.5 million shillings plus.

When Kamau saw the tax bill, he went mad.
He could try to talk but words would not come out. He nearly swallowed his tongue.

When he came back to real life. He shipped a protest letter to KRA.

He explained the money was dowry contribution from his family, friends and well wishers.

- He produced WhatsApp group fundraising screenshots.
- He produced RTGS confirmations.
- He produced the donation book.
- He even produced videos of the ceremony.

Including footage of the Werokamu song.

KRA could not hear any of it. They only wanted 2.5 million.

When Kamau realized KRA was not playing, he ran to court.

He told the Tribunal:

- My lord, look. I have shown KRA where the money came from.
- I have shown KRA who contributed it.
- I have shown KRA the ceremony.
- What more do they want from me?

KRA responded.
And what they said nearly made the judges fall off their chairs.

They argued the evidence was not convincing.

Why?

• Because the 2,000 plus donors had not sworn affidavits confirming that the money they gave was a donation and not payment for goods or services.

The Tribunal looked at the matter in amusement.

Then ruled.

- Kamau had discharged his burden of proof in full.
- KRA had acted unreasonably by ignoring and disregarding the substantial evidence he provided.
- And most importantly: Income tax is a tax on income. It is not a tax on every deposit appearing in a bank account.

The Tribunal found that KRA was wrong to treat all bank deposits as taxable income without first removing proven non income items such as dowry contributions.

The tax demand was killed.

Kamau won.

KRA retreated to Times Tower. And rested.

Case closed.

• Lesson 2.

- Document everything.

- KRA will push. Push hard.

WHAT ARSENAL'S DEFEAT TO PSG TAUGHT US 🤔.

take 2mins to reflect on this 🥰❤️💯

When the final whistle blew and Arsenal's champions league journey came to an end, something stood out.
It was not PSG 's celebration. It was not a disappointment among Arsenal supporters.
It was the reaction of the rival fans , many celebrating Arsenal's defeat with the same passion one would expect from winning a trophy 🏆 themselves.

1. Chelsea fans celebrated .
2. Manchester United fans celebrated.
3.Liverpool fans celebrated .

And it led me to reflect on a deeper lesson that extends far beyond football.
Often, our greatest challenges do not come from our obvious opponents.
They come from those closest to our circles, people who appear supporting, yet quietly struggle with our progress.

People who can tolerate our efforts but become uncomfortable when success starts to feel attainable .
The reality is that many people are not concerned about your journey.

Their reactions only changes when it appears that you may actually reach your destination.

Few people pay attention when you are struggling.
Few feel threatened when you are failing. Few lose sleep when you remain unoticed

But as success draws nearer, hidden emotions often begin to emerge

1. Jealousy
2. Competition
3. Resentment
4. Insecurity

That is one lessons Arsenal's defeat reminded me of.

The football world once again demonstrated how people can sometimes celebrate another person's failure more enthusiastically than their achievements.

And this is not unique to football, it is a reflection of life itself. Many individuals find comfort in seeing others fall because it shields them from comparison.

Your success challenges their excuses
Your progress disrupts their comfort. Your achievements remind them of ambitions they may have abandoned.

Yet there is another side to the lesson:
1. Arsenal's defeat does not erase Arsenal's journey

2. One loss does not invalidate years of growth, develop, and progress.

Every meaningful success story contains moments of disappointment, moments when opportunities slip away, critics became louder than supporters, and tge world seems more interested in your failure than your effort.

However, those who ultimately succeed are often the ones who continue moving forward despite the noise.

Perhaps the lesson is simple:
1. Fo jo measure your future by the applause or criticism of others.
2. The same people celebrating your setback today may one day witness your comeback.

Therefore,
1. Keep building
2. Keep improving.
3. Keep moving forward.
Because in football, as in life, the final whistle that truly matters is not the one that ends a match, it is the one that ends the journey.

And until that moment arrives, the story is still being written.
N.O

The magnitude of the @ntsa_kenya instant traffic fines is huge! I am in a Matatu today and the speed governor is set to beep at 50Kph! the old man driver(owner) tells me "hii Nairobi speed limit huwa 50 all roads"
I am impressed.

So guys went to a road trip to Namanga with 4 nganyas. They got there by 6pm and decided to cross over. (Makosa kubwa ni kuvuka boda 6pm, watu wa boda twajua) They went to party and an altercation involving a woman ensued. Yote tisa kumi, a club brawl happened and buses were stoned. They were ran out of Tanzania literally and were attacked by boda guys with stones to a point a driver was stoned, lost control of one bus and rolled. Tricky sana

Nairobi watu walikuja kutafuta. A popular plants company was selling one tree seedling at 700/-. But they only had 3.

Remembered KEFRI is next door so I went to check.

I bought 50 seedlings. Each at 50 shillings.

Yes, you read that right.
