SP: On 14 October, the world marks International E-Waste Day. This year’s theme is Fast Tech.
It focuses on small, low-cost electronics that are quickly discarded. @eprok_kenya is the Electronic-waste Producer Responsibility Organisation of Kenya.
We work to keep e-waste out of our environment. Our mandate is to ensure manufacturers, importers and distributors take responsibility for their products. The public gets safe ways to dispose of e waste. This is the first in a series with @NTVKenya.
More videos are coming this week. Stay tuned. #EWasteDay2026 #DontBinItBringIt #EPROKInFocus #CircularEconomy. @eprok_kenya
Marriages survived because men had the heart to endure women.
It lasted for generations because of MEN. Because of our emotional intelligence and our compassion for our wives.
Not because women were good partners. Because men learned to overlook a lot of stupid shit women do just to let peace reign.
Let's be real, women are NOT easy to live with.
They are not romantic. Their whole idea of romance is RECEIVING. What he bought for me, where he took me, what he did for me. Never what they give.
They are not funny. They are overly sensitive, they hate accountability, they hate saying sorry, they hate initiating sex with their own husbands, and they are controlling as hell. Stubborn and rebellious.
And that domestic violence you hear about in marriages? Most of it is STARTED by the wife. Pushing, slapping, throwing things, talking reckless, provoking until the man reacts. Then she wants to play victim.
Look at any relationship that doesn't have a man in it,it doesn't work.
Lesbians? Highest divorce rate. Highest abuse rate. Because there is no man there to tolerate their violence and their emotions. Two women together can't handle each other.
Female friendships? Even worse. Pure gossip, backbiting, jealousy, cutting each other off over the most childish things.
They will have 10 female friends by 2022. By 2026, only 2 are left. She has fought with ALL of them. Every single one is now an enemy.
But men are the problem.
I have a story for you people. So I was in Machakos recently. Booked a place on https://t.co/QN3Kpe2ZXU and - turns out I booked a place at boma yangu in Machakos. We got there and it seemed the guards knew to expect short term stay tenants. They check you in at the gate.
In the early 60s, Senior Chief Njiiri Karanja was a VW Beetle “influencer”, used to promote the car to fellow Africans.
Note the text in the ad.
F3: He sits outside his Murang’a homestead, flanked by members of his large family - and VW.
Before we compare Kenya to London and other “middle income countries”, let us examine our reality.
Sit with Wafula, a boda boda rider in Gitaru, and walk through his day. From morning to evening, he might make 15–20 short distance trips. On a good day, he brings in about Ksh 1,500–2,000.
Out of that, fuel takes a significant share, now add bike repayment or rent, a little for maintenance, and by the end of the day, what is left is barely enough to take care of his family needs, let alone save.
This is the reality for many Kenyans.
The issue is what fuel costs a Kenyan whose income has not kept pace, whose business depends on daily movement, and whose survival is tied to every shilling spent at the pump.
In the UK, higher prices exist alongside higher incomes, reliable public transport, functioning healthcare, and social systems that return value to the taxpayer.
Hapa Kenya, hizo mizigo zote ni za mwananchi, who already is stretched, with little cushioning and even less return.
So the question remains, is fuel affordable for Kenyans, within our reality?
The government must answer that without comparisons, but with solutions that ease the pressure on everyday lives.
Watched an Alex Mwakideu interview the other day he was talking to the legendary judge from Vioja Mahakamani. Millennials, you know her ~That no-nonsense mama who took zero nonsense in that courtroom.
Now here’s the wild part they never had scripts. Not a single one. They’d just show up, pick roles, agree on the case, and go. Cameras rolling, take one, done.
So every punchline Alphonse Makacha and Dot Makokha ever dropped? Pure improvisation. No rehearsal. Nothing prepared. Just talent doing its thing in real time.
Kenya really had something special with that crew.
And here’s the part that gets me AG Amos Wako was fully behind the show. He’d supply them with real court cases and actual judgments from Kenyan courts. So when the judge passed her verdict on screen, it wasn’t made up. It was legally accurate, straight from the constitution.
Comedy on the surface. Civic education underneath.
That’s a level of craft most productions today can’t touch.
Golden era. Salute to those legends. 🫡
