See clowns.
Your government just borrowed 174B on your already battered pockets, fuel is unaffordable, a bill to privatise water is in the works, another bill to tax free hold land and an even more punitive finance bill is getting passed.
Your cost of living is unbearable, but your salaries have remained constant since 2020.
But yes, let's celebrate arsenal team winning a trophy.
Give them bread and circus and they will never revolt.

Na hutu tumzee,the ones from the Boomer generation,they really surprise me when I hear them say “jenga ocha Nairobi imekua ngumu” . They might be right,but they are addressing the wrong generation. Kwanza very few Genzis have Ushagos. Wengi wetu kwanza hapa lower middlle class,we are products of ploti. Sisi tumelelewa ploti aki. Sasa ata Nairobi ikue ngumu namna gani,we have no option. Lazima tujikaze!

For example mimi,In my family,my Great grandfather managed to secure only two acres in limuru. Hiyo pesa ingine akanunua piano. Alafu akazaa watoto sita,akakufa akagawia iyo watoto yake. Watoto nao wakazaa kila mtu minimum of 3 children,tena wakagawia watoto wao. Eventually its was just tu 30/60s that were left,which was later sold as parcels. Sisi tukizaliwa atukupata kitu!

Bwana sisi hatuna letu. Hatuna inheritance,hatuna ata Godfather. Tukilemewa labda tuhamie chini yake daraja kama ninja turtles bwana. Hatunanga ata ile kurudi ushago kutuliza kichwa,ukiskia kutuliza kichwa labda uingie Ouru park. Sasa mkisema ati turudi ocha tukilemewa na taon,mkumbuke wengine wetu mababu setu walinunua piano.

Saa ingine ni ngumu! Ni ngumuu! Khabusie!

I have seen so many people get started. Some lose hope because others mock their projects or hard work, especially on this app.
But others stay in the game, keep pushing, and end up winning big.

In all that time, I have never seen a ruthless Go-Getter, someone who pushes past barriers and ignores the opinions of people who think everyone’s path should look like theirs end up with nothing on their plate.

So shut out the noise and grind.

The body has special nerves known as CRANIAL NERVES.

They are 12.

I) Olfactory

II) Optic

III) Oculomotor

IV) Trochlear

V) Trigeminal

VI) Abducen

VII) Facial

VIII) Vestibulocochlear

IX) Glossopharyngeal

X) Vagus

XI) Accessory

XII) Hypoglossal

These cranial nerves affect sensory responses or motor responses or both.

Sensory responses are those signals that get relayed to the brain while motor responses are those signals relayed from the brain to affect muscular movement.

For example, if you touch a hot pan, the sensory nerves pick information from a hot pan and then relay it to the brain. Once the brain registers this information, the motor nerves send the information back to your hand to pull the hand away from the hot pan.

There is an important cranial nerve known as VAGUS NERVE. It is the 10th cranial nerve.

It is part of something called the parasympathetic nervous system which is responsible for rest, digestion and sleep.

It has both sensory and motor functions. It takes information from the organs it affects (heart, gut, lungs) and sends the information from the brain back to muscular tissues in the mouth, stomach and lungs.

For example, if you tickle your uvula, you will vomit. That's the vagus nerve at work.

The vagus nerve connects the gut to the brain. This connection is known as THE GUT-BRAIN AXIS.

This bidirectional communication pathway regulates the functions of the gut like appetite, digestion and absorption of food including the connection of emotions and cognitive functions between the brain and the gut.

The emotional and cognitive failure due to a weak vagus nerve explains why depressed or anxious people eat all the time. - and end up being obese.

When children refuse to eat or when adults refuse to eat, it is the vagus nerve sending important information about the gut.

THE VAGUS NERVE is the longest cranial nerve in the human body and the most important in digestion.

It helps in:

- breathing

- digestion

- heart beating

It also helps in swallowing, coughing and sneezing.

If this nerve becomes ineffective, then the body will suffer indigestion, bloating, slow heart rate & depression.

Most people walk around with a sick vagus nerve, but they don't know.

The VAGUS NERVE must remain effective and efficient.

If it fails, then the metabolic machine will also fail.

To make it efficient, you must:

1. Improve your breathing technique. Breath through your nostrils. Before bedtime, take a deep breath of 5 seconds then a deep exhalation of 5 seconds. Repeat for 3 minutes.

Also make deep, controlled breaths especially when sitting or walking or exercising.

2. Take long nature walks. Switch off your phone, no earphones. Just you, your steps and nature.

3. Eat salt. Add potassium citrate before bedtime.

Masculine boredom is a sign of growth.

It is the state where you no longer find pleasure in shallow conversations, cheap thrills, or empty nights.

This kind of boredom is not depression, it is TRANSITION.

It means you are growing from:

• Consumer to CREATOR.
• Noise to ORDER.
• Distraction to DESTINY.

Embrace and value this boredom because this is where your seeds will germinate and flourish.

DEAR MEN,

If your wife has joined a running club but you haven't, SHONOKA.

I need to tell you something important.

There’s a permanent member of your family that nobody introduced properly, please allow me to.

And I need you to sit down first.

You’ve seen she wakes up at 4:30am on a Saturdays?

Not for you. Not for the children. Not for church.

For a 5am run in Karura Forest with a man called Brian who has the body of a Greek statue and the energy of someone who has never eaten ugali in his life.

Brian organizes these runs.

Brian sets the pace.

Brian decides who runs next to whom.

You need to understand what Brian looks like to understand why this is a problem.

Brian is 34.

Brian runs 30 marathons a year.

Brian has never had a beer belly.

Brian has never come home at midnight smelling of Tusker and fallen asleep mid-sentence.

Brian wakes up every morning and does things to his body that your body has completely forgotten are possible.

Your wife sees Brian every Saturday at 5am in Karura.

Then on Wednesdays in Ngong.

Then on the Vienna Loop in Karen on the last Sunday of the month.

She definitely has missed your family lunches.

She has not missed Brian once this entire year.

Now.

The run ends at 8am.

21 kilometres done.

Her legs are tired.

Her muscles are tight.

She needs stretching.

She needs a massage.

She needs somebody to hold her legs and work out the tension from the inside of her thighs that 21 kilometres of road have created.

Brian knows a place.

Brian always knows a place.

You need to see what these women wear when they run to understand what Brian is looking at for 21 kilometres from behind before the stretching even begins.

The institution of marriage is being dismantled one kilometre at a time on the streets of Kilimani.

Now here is the part that should make you put your phone down and think.

Your wife just turned 40.

The children are done.

Three is enough.

That chapter is closed.

She has looked at her life and made a quiet decision that nobody announced.

She has discovered running.

She has discovered health.

She has discovered Brian.

And while you are home on Saturday morning sleeping until 10am, scratching yourself, watching football highlights from Thursday, she is on kilometre 18 of a 21 kilometre run next to a man who has not stopped moving since 1974.

She comes home glowing.

You think it is the exercise.

It is not only the exercise.

Look at all the Marathons done last year, they all had women signing up in numbers that broke the registration system.

Thousands of women.

Suddenly everyone is running.

Everyone has discovered fitness.

Everyone in Nairobi has a running club, a running group, a running WhatsApp that is on silent when they get home.

You were not invited to the WhatsApp group.

Brian runs it.

As an elder I must warn you.

The running clubs of Nairobi are doing more damage to marriages than any bar, any office, any late night ever did.

Because she is not sneaking.

She is training.

She is healthy.

She is happy.

She is glowing every Saturday by 9am.

And you are still in bed.

We either lace up and join these women on that road at 5am or we accept that Brian is now a permanent member of this family that nobody introduced properly.

Don't say the servant of the Lord didn't warn you. 😐

ORION’S SPLASHDOWN!

From the cradle of humankind in East Africa…
to the first great civilizations along the Nile and in Mesopotamia, to the pyramids of Giza and the ancient cities of Babylon…

From the Stone Age, to the classical world through the Gothic age, the Renaissance and the Baroque, as humanity shaped architecture, art, science, and thought into ever more refined expressions of its genius…

From the mathematical foundations of Pythagorean theorem, to the great sea voyages of Vasco da Gama and Christopher Columbus, where humanity first pushed beyond the known world, to the great sea voyages of Vasco da Gama and Christopher Columbus, where humanity first pushed beyond the known world, to the brilliant Black women mathematicians at NASA (The Hidden Figures) who without modern computers, calculated trajectories that would carry humanity to space…

From the first powered flight by the Wright brothers, to Yuri Gagarin becoming the first human to orbit Earth. To the historic Moon landing under the Apollo program…

The arc has always bent forward!
And now, once again humanity has journeyed around the Moon, this time going even further into deep space and made it back home.

With the successful splashdown of the Orion spacecraft, another historic milestone is written into the story of our species. This is not just a mission.
It is the continuation of a journey powered by mathematics, science , imagination and courage.

From equations, to engines, to the edge of the unknown…
Another record set, another frontier crossed, another win for humanity!

And still we press on! To the moon, Mars and beyond!

There is something profoundly humbling, yet extremely exciting about watching human ingenuity return home from space. Such a thrill actually.

Tonight, all eyes will be on the Orion spacecraft as it begins one of the most violent, yet precisely controlled journeys ever attempted, re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere.

After traveling hundreds of thousands of kilometers through the silence of deep space, Orion will meet the atmosphere at speeds of over 40,000 km/h. Then, physics will take over.

The spacecraft will not simply fall back to Earth. It will skip across the atmosphere, in a carefully calculated trajectory. This skip-entry maneuver allows Orion to gradually reduce speed, controlling its descent with extraordinary precision.

As it spears through the atmosphere, temperatures around the capsule will rise to nearly 3,000°C. The heat shield will glow, plasma will form and for a few minutes, Orion will be wrapped in a fiery envelope, temporarily cutting off communication with Earth.

This is engineering mastery.
Every angle, every material and every second of that descent has been calculated by very intelligent minds, pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

The violence of spearing through the atmosphere will then give way to calm. Parachutes will deploy in perfect sequence, and finally the splashdown into the Pacific Ocean, at 3:07am Kenyan time.

Humanity no longer just looks up to the moon and the deep space. We go there, we return and we do it with precision.

I have drawn this information from various sources. It has been fascinating to read up and follow the Artemis II mission, which is part of a bold effort to return humanity to the Moon, more than half a century after the historic Apollo programme, and a crucial stepping stone towards an eventual human mission to Mars.

In Greek mythology, Apollo and Artemis were twin siblings, with Apollo being the god of light, and Artemis the goddess of the Moon.

In major hospitals hapa Kenya, kuna some experienced “smugglers” with many years under their belt and vast connections. Huwa wanaitwa specifically bill ikishinda patient who is admitted and the family is willing to “talk.”

Usually, they meet relatives and well-wishers kwa restaurant just outside but near the vicinity. He first asks for the original bill, then scans it slowly while shaking his head in sadness, occasionally glancing at his “clients” as they sip tea nervously. Then he says, “Hii mkilipa yote, si mtauza shamba zote mkuwe squatters?”

No one responds before the chairman leading the “congregation” says in low tones, “Tulitumwa kwako. Ona venye utatusaidia my brother, unajua hali ya uchumi.”

He takes out his phone and goes straight to the calculator. Usually, from the total bill, the standard payment is one-third. But when he uses his “third eye” and “smells” weak family ties, there’s a small discount huwa mnapewa.

After reaching an agreement, they huddle together with his clients, and he clarifies that the entire operation is based on trust and strictly cash-only. Once the “transfer fees” are finalized, he tells them that the moment they receive his call, waanze kuwasha engine of their Toyota Noah, ready to receive their loved one.

Halafu mnapewa warning, relatives with weak hearts wasishtuke when they see the patient—who had fully recovered—being wheeled into the parking lot in a wheelchair, kama amefunikwa na a blue sheet from miguu all the way to the head.

The smuggler is connected to everyone—from gate watchmen, nurses, doctors, and accountants—in short, everyone eats.

The patient is also briefed: if they see someone enter the ward wearing a cap that has “sealed” everything leaving the eyes only and pushing a wheelchair, afuate venye anaambiwa, na aache maswali mingi.

After going to the hospital together and instructing them to wait for him in the parking lot, he returns a few hours later as promised, wheeling in the patient, who is covered from head to toe.

If the family is heading to North Rift, he even gets into the car na anakaa hapo mbele and escorts them up to Kangemi before returning by matatu.

In his own words, before the relatives thank him profusely, “Hapendi kucheza na kazi yake.”

As he gets out, he reminds them once more, “Mmeona venye tunacheza? Msisahau kuniletea wateja!”
