Dr Julius Kipngetich advises men to outsmart their ever rising women.
Men are facing imense pressure from rising women in the society. Kipngetich has the following advice to men:
1. Increase knowledge by reading a book every week
2. On personal finance, save money and stop overspending in huge SUVs, emulate Chinese minimalist expenditure.
3. Generate more income by having more than one income source since women are earning more than men nowadays.
4. Farming maize when you're in Nairobi doesn't make economic sense. Invest in money market, bonds and treasury bills instead.
5. Don't overspend on relatives instead encourage them to develop their own revenue generating avenues.
6. Always be present, don't stay in pubs until 12AM. Kipngetich personallly gets home by 8pm daily.
7. Learn at least one sports activity, language and music instrument. For example, learn darts or chess or football, local languages such as Kikuyu, Luo or Kalenjin and perfect one music instrument like guitar or piano.
8. Go to church every Sunday, build your relationship with God.
The core of the matter is: keep rising as a man. Don't stagnate.
If you are a man and you were not born into wealth, you must wake up early and take your life seriously. Nobody is coming to rescue you. Work hard, learn skills, build discipline and create value. Poverty is not romantic; it is painful.
The world is often very harsh to a man without money. People may ignore your pain, mock your struggle and judge your worth by what you can provide. That is why you must keep pushing, even when life feels unfair and the doors seem closed.
Money will not solve every problem, but it gives you options, dignity and freedom. Do not waste your youth waiting for sympathy. Build yourself quietly, move wisely, pray, work and grow. One day, your discipline will speak louder than your struggle.

Limbua engages in the value addition of mangoes, macadamia and avocado for export @embucountygovt@CecilyMbarire
The company works with over 10,000 farmers of the three agricultural products. This is an example of how the EPZ program promotes the creation of wealth among Kenyans through backward linkages.
Limbua has created direct employment to 600 Kenyans @GovLeeKinyanjui@CecilyMbarire@PSAhassan
1. You take a loan of KSh 400,000 to help buy a car worth KSh 700,000.
2. You faithfully pay KSh 30,000 every month. After some time you have paid KSh 300,000.
3. Unfortunately, you lose your job and miss one month’s payment.
4. The microfinance repossesses your car and threatens to auction it.
5. You plead with them. They tell you to pay KSh 150,000 to restructure the loan. You borrow from a shylock and pay.
6. They restructure the loan. It is extended to 3 years. You now pay KSh 25,000 per month.
7. You resume payments. You manage to pay for another year. Then things get tough again.
8. By this time you have paid KSh 700,000 in total. Yet you still owe KSh 600,000.
9. They repossess your car again. They value it at KSh 250,000 and sell it.
10. You are left with a balance of KSh 350,000. Interest keeps accumulating.
11. You take other loans to clear the KSh 350,000.
12. In the end, the KSh 400,000 loan costs you almost KSh 3,000,000. You lose the car. You lose your peace of mind.
Machoos.
Someone with a 12-month emergency fund reacts very differently to a job loss than someone who barely has one month saved.
Prioritize building your emergency fund.
Before stocks. Before bonds. Before land investments.
And when you get bonuses, per diem, or unexpected cash, channel it there.
