If you are planning to build a house in your rural village,
Do the following:
• Open a bank account. Call it "Project Development Account 2026."
• Write a plan. Use the Triple Constraint Theory in Project Management: BUDGET, TIME and SCOPE.
• Save 50% equivalent of your rent in the account, monthly for 15 months, eg, if your rent is 10,000, then, save 5,000 in that account every month.
• If you can't raise 50% equivalent of your rent to save, then you are living beyond your means. Look for a cheaper house.
• Get an architect and a draughtsman to design a house.
• Do research, consult, read about building and construction online. Travel beyond your comfort.
• Get a Quantity Surveyor to do feasibility and the cost of the project.
• At month 15, draw a budget and begin buying material for construction, eg Sand, Ballast, Stones and timber. Stick to the budget.
• At month 18, start building.
• Get a professional mason licensed by the National Construction Authority. Be present. Supervision by phone calls is disastrous.
• Be hands-on. Learn to do the masonry work alongside the mason. Mix the ballast. Lay the bricks. Be part of the team.
• Create a rapport and good relationship with a hardware. Let this hardware be the only place you will buy construction material.
• Don't live in government houses. Don't buy the so called "affordable houses."
Build your house, to your preference and taste.
Therefore, if you are intending to build, and you start planning today, then you should be building your house in 2026 March.
It is not far.
Start today.
Be patient.
Start.

ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN NEWLY EMPLOYED
The Amerix community has numerous opportunities for its followers.
The connections are always beneficial.
During the last Men's Assembly, I witnessed 3 young men being assured of instant employment.
Seeing jobless young men being given a new lease of life through these connections is amazing.
However, once these young men get the jobs, they vanish.
They never give feedback or bother to update their experiences.
Only for them to reappear later with sob stories of how they lost their jobs or conditions didn't favour them to continue. Therefore, they need me to connect them to any other available opportunities.
This kind of self-entitled attitude is so nauseating and repulsive.
I always block these kinds of people when they come to my inbox.
So, if you are a young man who has just been employed or has found a short contract, do the following:
Please don't blow it once you receive your first salary, payment or profit.
• Take 10% to church, mosque, charity, or any structured self-help group to support the weak, sick, needy or meek.
• Take 10% and give it to your parents – ( 60% to your Father and 40% to your mother). They can choose to blow it or pay your siblings' fees.
• Take 5% and give it to the person who connected you to the job. If it was contractual work, take 10% and give it to the person who connected you to the contract.
• Take 10% and save.
• Budget the rest (60%) for your expenses ( 35% pay your debts, 25% foot your bills).
This is on your FIRST SALARY or PAYMENT.
Don't receive the money, and the first thing in your head is a phone, a laptop and alcohol.
You will block your other opportunities in the future.
Don't say "it is my money, I have worked for it and I deserve all of it."
It is not your money. Nobody owns money.
Money is just an idea held in trust by legal tender called currency.
Money is a system of mutual trust and shared belief enabling cooperation among strangers.
Therefore, the most IMPORTANT things here are TRUST, — and COOPERATION.
What would it benefit you to pocket the money and lose the mutual trust and Cooperation?
Don't take this for granted.
Remember, the war is spiritual.
Win it at the spiritual level.
Stop sleeping,
Wake up!

These medicines are for a baby who fell ill with:
• a runny nose
• fever
• irritability
• lack of appetite
His father rushed him to a high-end private hospital in Nairobi.
The hospital concluded that he had a "bacterial infection."
He was treated with antibiotics and released.
Two days later, he was taken back, and this time, he was admitted for 2 days because of a "bacterial infection."
He was then discharged with all those medicines.
Unbelievable!
Here is the point:
- There is nothing like "a bacterial infection." This is a scam by hospitals to siphon your money.
- No baby requires all those medicines, but because we refer to our children as "kids," we have dehumanized them, and hospitals see them as lab rats.
- This baby suffered a respiratory viral infection (common cold), which is self-limiting. Steam inhalation with basil, rosemary, lemon grass, mint leaves, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and cardamom would have stabilized this baby.
- Exposing the baby to the SUN, giving the baby MUTTON FAT, and feeding it CHICKEN SOUP was enough to heal this baby.
- This baby will have to heal from the disease and also from the consequences of the medicines.
- Loading our babies with medicines weakens their immunity, and they will, therefore, be in hospitals like hospital curtains.
- Feed your children food, not processed products, such as yoghurt, juice, sausages, sugar, and cereals. Give them food, not products.
- If this baby goes back to the hospital, the father will be told it is tonsilitis, and the hospital will propose tonsillectomy. An ignorant parent will fall for such conmanship.
Finally,
Most of you don't listen.
You are brainwashed by the system that if I wake you up, you think I am just whining.
Then, when things get out of hand, that is when you crawl into my inbox with questions,
"My child is bla bla bla, what should I do?"
CHANGE or PERISH.

If you are a single mother with children (Probably from different men),
Sit down and raise your children.
Stop loitering from one bar to the next drinking alcohol.
Stop inviting every Dick, Dickens and Dickson to your house and introducing them to your children.
Stop coming home late in the night drunk.
Sit down with your children and bond with them.
House girls will not raise your children.
A career will not raise your children.
Teach your children values, manners and ethics. Be a good example to your children.
The more you avoid talking to your children, the more they will grow with poor self-esteem and undesirable manners.
The fact that you are unlucky in marriage should not mean you become loose and uncouth.
It means you should now sit down and focus on something else.
- Save your money
- Look for extra channels for income
- Invest your money for the sake of your children's future
- If you live in a rental house, will you continue living there? Buy land and start developing it for the sake of your future.
- For how long do you think men will continue admiring you?
- For how long do you think men will continue funding your lifestyle?
- These men are sleeping with you because you are loose, naive and desperate.
Remember, in the next few years, your children will soon ask you about their Father. Make peace with him and let him be part of their lives.
The men you keep sleeping with because you want to hurt your ex-husband will have sex with you and with time dump you and leave you in even more pain as he goes back to his children and family.
You will be the loser at the end of it.
Your children will be the biggest losers.
Change or Perish.
