@edwardkwach @SpiceFMKE For real? What qualifications does one to join you in additon to gift of gab?

[Ma' Nimo @njokihatari]

@SpiceFMKE the 5pm radio show needs a woman co-presenter. Too much testosterone with @edwardkwach and the other guy discussing relationship (male & female) issues.

If you want to see mediocrity take a look at Kericho stadium where Mashujaa Day is being marked.

What we seeing is after great efforts by national government to get the venue ready for Mashujaa day, imagine if national government never moved in.

I dare ask , we have had devolution for 10 solid years yet not a single county I dare say have been able to get together a decent stadium. Mombasa stadium is now home to all sort of reptiles having gobbled over half a billion Ksh. I can give some credit to Kakamega & Machakos all the rest are no better than a cowshed. Take a look around you. @KenyaGovernors

Building a decent stadia is no rocket science it's no big deal , tiny football clubs do it and right here in Kenya, we have Ulinzi that was built in Langata by our own military in record time. I am also taking the liberty to share images from Ulinzi stadia, small and neat. @UlinziStarsFC

As we celebrate Mashujaa Day let us ask ourselves tough questions why stadias are neglected in our country and when there is attempt to fix it the very people meant to fix it eat the funds. There is NO reason why each county in Kenya cannot have a proper stadia with a practice field adjacent.

Just look around and see sheer talent by our young boys and girls during inter school football tournaments , can you imagine if we gave them a real chance in life by getting them a good stadia which surely does not have to cost a leg and an arm.

One advice I would like to give to H.E The President William Samoei Ruto @WilliamsRuto get our military to replicate what was made at Ulinzi across all the 47 counties. Handover to each Governor a working stadia with warm up pitch next door. Kenya Premier League will happily have the lower tier league come to life where real talent is identified. Late Reinhardt Fabisch went to the villages to identify talent. The talent I saw recently at Waa football ground in Kwale will leave you wowed. We have hundreds if not thousands of Sadio Mane and Ronaldos getting destroyed by Muguka and illicit drinks. They should be playing in leading leagues around the world raking in much needed forex.

Your excellency the youth will remember you for a very long time.

As always I choose to remain an optimist and Happy Mashujaa Day

God Bless Kenya

Congratulations to Faith Kipyegon for breaking the 1500M record at the @GoldenGalaDL in Italy. I met her earlier this year as she was preparing for the season and was amazed by her discipline, humility, resilience and commitment.

A big mistake the world is making is treating African countries as “developing markets”

“Developing” assumes a known & predetermined destination, following a known linear path

Africa is a frontier market

Here is why:

1. Africa is going through major transformations, at the convergence of these tectonic shifts:
* massive demographic changes / population growth never seen anywhere before,
* access to paradigm changing technologies that no other region had while in similar stages as Africa today,
the internet is facilitating hyper connectivity and fast information flow,
* wide institutional vacuums that need to be filled from scratch.

There is no other region that faced the same challenges at such scale, while also having so much technology and knowledge at its disposal as Africa has today.

Instead of trenching the whole continent and laying land line cables, Africans jumped to mobile phones for analog + digital connectivity. Today there are 93 mobile cellular subscriptions for very 100 Africans, and 72% access the internet on mobile.

Instead of putting ATM machines in every corner and waiting decades for mega banks to be built, Africans moved to digital #mobilemoney and became more cashless. Today 70% of the world’s $1 trillion mobile money market is in Africa, with 621M registered users, doing 36.7B transactions/year and a volume of $701B.

Instead of recreating SWIFT and western union to facilitate non-predatory simple cross-border commerce, Africans are using #crypto for faster and more affordable ways to transact with their neighbours + the rest of the world. Today we have $100B+ onchain crypto volume in Africa, 96% of which are used for cross-border transactions.

Instead of overhauling local monetary policies and rewriting IMF/World Bank lending rules to use global currencies, more Africans are using #stablecoins to permissionlessly transact with the world. Stablecoins are the #1 use case for crypto tokens to bypass crippling FOREX shortages and draconian government rules in major African countries.

Instead of having hundreds of millions Africans relocate elsewhere seeking better opportunities (I did that 15 years ago) and changing most countries’ immigration settings that keep Africans away (I tried that too), young Africans are plugging into a #permissionless global economy powered by #Web3. They are joining global communities, working with #DAOs, earning global income, learning most things online and building #onchain reputation, without having to leave their home countries and missing home cooked food.

The ways Africans are building their countries is not linear and it won’t follow one we’ve seen done before. While parallels can be drawn and lessons can be learned, there isn’t a pre-existing template Africans are following.

So if you’re looking outside in, take off the “development” glasses and observe how Africas are walking on uncharted territories.

When Africans entrepreneurs are building, the variables they optimize for are very different from those in the West, and they have different constraints and barriers.

The West is updating its financial system. Africans are building one from the ground up.

Africa is a frontier market and needs to be treated as such.

99.999% of all candidates who contested for seats in the 8.9.2022 elections have accepted the results. I passionately plead with Hon Raila and H.E UHURU to accept the result.

Worst pitstop for a bathroom break is Maguna Andu Supermarket at Sagana. The state of the toilets is plain disgusting. Considering the number of people that use them, someone somewhere isn’t doing their job!
