@SandraMyleloze I hope this answers your query. I was doing this to kickstart fundraising for Naboisho Leadership Institute. You can find the work we are doing here.

Our work at Naboisho Leadership Institute, which you all so generously contributed to this past weekend, is directly about this. We've even spoke about it on our media channel on the Under The Acacia podcast

Every Kenyan parent considering their children's higher education needs to know this:

If your child pursues higher education in a different country, Kenya will never stop punishing your child for it. Kenya will never allow your child to work in the area of their training. I've seen someone with a MA in Kiswahili from University of Dar, no less, being told she can never get a TSC number. That's Kenya.

So yes, you'll hear civil servants praising foreign education as "world class," and harassing Kenyan universities to uphold the standards of Oxford, but they will punish you for daring to go there yourselves and get that education. You're a nobody, you're just a native. You're not supposed to have ambitions beyond what DO John Ainsworth imagined for you. The way the settlers couldn't stand the idea of Africans going to school, is the same way civil servants see education in Kenya. They decide what is good for you. If bad imitations of Norwegian education are what they think you need, that's exactly what you'll get.

So yes, they are going to defund Kenyan public universities and tell you to go to Str-thmore instead, but dare you take that seriously and seek education in TZ, Rwanda or Uganda, let alone Europe or America. You will return to grief and lamentation. Doors will be shut, one after another. You will come back with a PhD in engineering and the best you can do is motivational speaking.

This is not different from colonial days. In "Not yet Uhuru," Jaramogi says that British colonial officers used to arrest Kenyans at the port and jail them if they dared to pursue scholarships in Eastern Europe. Meanwhile the settlers were fighting tooth and nail for Royal Technical College to remain a TVET and never become a university, let alone one for Africans to attend.

But I'm saying higher education abroad: even if you try here, you will get grief. Matiang'i was particularly vicious about it. He said that if you don't get a C+ in KCSE, you should never, ever, see a university classroom, even if you do 10 diplomas and have work experience. He threatened to withdraw the degrees of those who took the long route.

Our education problem isn't curriculum. It's not the job market. It's British snobbery and class consciousness. It's hostility to knowledge. Our politicians and civil servants are steeped in the British "gentleman" model of public education, which was brought here. And that model hates both skills and knowledge. Period.

That mindset prefers fantasies like "the advantages and disadvantages of British colonialism in Africa." And this anti-intellectualism makes going to school even more desirable because the more we are denied education, the more we sacrifice in our savings and resources to get it. Human beings cannot live without understanding their environment. But for seeking that knowledge, you will be punished. Severely. @scherargei will write a bill reducing medical workers to hospital butlers and elevating police officers to medical practitioners.

About 10 years ago I wrote a piece about Neo-Feudalism. That’s what this is. This same type of person never wanted that type of stratified society to end, and have been actively trying to force us back into it ever since the enlightenment. So far, we’ve won. But it’s never over…

Nashukuru sana!!

[Writer | Climber | Mother of Dragons | Kas Ka Gan @Wordslinger__]

My offspring are convinced this is a lovely heart and a sign of the good vibes from you people and blessings from God.

I'll take that 😊.

These are among the gifts the 90km All Bypass Hike bequeathed me.

We are exactly 1 month from the September 2026 equinox on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, at 00:06 UTC, when the sun is expected to go overhead the Equator marking the change of seasons.
With a very strong El Nino (could be the strongest ever recorded) properly established in the Equatorial Pacific, and a +ve IOD coming up in the Indian Ocean nearer home, #Kenya & the greater Horn of Africa are anticipating an Oct-Nov-Dec rainy season with highly enhanced precipitation and, probably an extension of the season into Jan 2027.
Going forward, our focus shifts to:
* Monitoring the southward shift of the Inter-Tropical-Convergence-Zone (ITCZ) from the Sahel region & the Ethiopian highlands into Equatorial Africa including Kenya
* Watching out for any tropical activity & disturbances in the Western Indian Ocean adjacent to the East African coastline
* Change in direction and strength of the trade winds in the Indian Ocean (zonal upper & lower level wind anomalies)
These parameters will help us ascertain with precision the exact onset hours, dates & weeks of the much-awaited rains.
Keep on following!

“Adult Children Of Emotionally Immature Parents”? what an embarrassing title!!

anyway, i want to try to write a thread about it

[Nywele Ngumu @mariahsudi]

When I got this book @saitonne sent it , I was heavily critical of my folks.. this book actually made me humanize them more, it didn’t fill me with rage, for the first time it made me see them as people of their time who worked with what they had

Big prediction for the season is, no matter what, Man Utd are not going to be able to silence the critics this season

They could win 25 (PL) games this year, we'll still hear "iTs uNsUsTaInAbLe" from some crowds because - they're not going to dominate many games. Plain & simple

I have told you that society cannot afford a different narrative on female nature but you pushed the envelope so far with the victimhood narrative that now we are forced to have that conversation.

So lets have it… 🧵
