A Nairobi lady has sued Safaricom PLC after her KSh 2,700, mistakenly sent via M-Pesa, was used to offset the recipient’s Fuliza debt.
Her reversal request was declined. She has now moved to the High Court challenging that policy as unconstitutional.
When I send money to someone, my intention is clear that I am transferring funds to THAT person. I am not entering into a contract with Safaricom to help them recover loans. I am not agreeing to become a guarantor. I am not volunteering to settle another adult’s overdraft.
How then does my money automatically clear someone else’s debt without my consent?
We must be very careful as a country not to normalise silent policies that shift financial burdens to third parties. Digital convenience should not override basic principles of fairness and property rights.
Yes, the recipient may have agreed to Fuliza terms. But I did not.And this is the core issue.
If money is mistakenly sent and reversal is denied because it has already been swallowed by a debt recovery system, then we are creating a dangerous precedent one where corporations quietly prioritise loan recovery over consumer protection.
At the very least, there should be a clear warning before completing a transaction:“The recipient has an outstanding Fuliza balance. Funds may be used to offset debt. Proceed?”
This case is bigger than 2,700 shillings. It is about how far automated financial systems can go without violating basic rights.
THINGS ANIMALS KNOW THAT HUMANS DON'T:
1. Elephants can detect rain falling 150 miles away through vibrations in the ground, felt through their feet, and will begin walking toward it before any meteorological instrument registers the incoming storm.
2. Dogs can smell cancer, Parkinson's disease, epileptic seizures before they happen, and changes in blood sugar with accuracy rates that consistently outperform early-stage medical testing equipment.
3. Sharks can detect one drop of blood diluted across an Olympic swimming pool worth of water. Their electrosensory system can also detect the heartbeat of a hidden animal through solid sand.
4. Pigeons have magnetite crystals embedded in their beaks,a biological compass that allows them to navigate using the Earth's magnetic field with an accuracy that GPS navigation still cannot consistently match.
5. Crows can recognize and remember individual human faces for years. They hold grudges, pass information about specific humans to their offspring, and have been documented leaving gifts for humans who treated them kindly.
6. Bees make collective decisions democratically. When a hive needs a new home, scouts return and perform dances indicating different locations other bees evaluate and vote, and the option with the most sustained enthusiasm wins.
7. Mantis shrimps can see 16 types of color receptors compared to humans' three. They perceive colors, ultraviolet, and polarized light simultaneously experiencing a visual reality so complex humans have no framework to even imagine it.
8. Migratory birds navigate partly by seeing the Earth's magnetic field as a visual overlay on their normal vision essentially they have a built-in map projected onto their sight that humans are completely blind to.
9. Whales sing in dialects. Different populations have distinct songs that are culturally passed down, evolve over time, and change when populations come into contact with each other exactly like human language evolution.
10. Rats show measurable empathy. In experiments they consistently freed trapped companions even when doing so gave them no reward and would share food with hungry strangers before eating themselves.
11. Octopuses have neurons distributed throughout their arms each arm can taste, feel, problem-solve, and act semi-independently of the brain. They experience the world as eight semi-separate thinking entities simultaneously.
12. Elephants are among the only animals that recognize death as death. They return to the bones of deceased family members years later, handle them carefully, and display behavior that has no practical survival function only what looks like grief.
13. Dolphins have been documented teaching their young to use tools specifically placing sea sponges on their snouts to protect themselves while foraging on sharp ocean floors. This is culturally transmitted knowledge, not instinct.
14. Some species of jellyfish are biologically immortal. When stressed or aging, Turritopsis dohrnii reverts to its juvenile state and restarts its life cycle,it has no known natural lifespan limit.
15. Cats don't meow at other cats in the wild. The meow was developed specifically and exclusively as a communication tool directed at humans,they learned to talk to us in a frequency that mimics an infant's cry because it gets results.

Hundreds of thousands of Christians celebrating Easter in Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Ethiopia has practised Christianity for over 1,600 years.
Ethiopia (Abyssinia) was mentioned in the Holy Bible.
The country has never been colonised.
I’ve seen someone say they attended a few funerals in Meru and most of the deaths were cancer… and they were asking why.
Honestly, that question isn’t far from what many people have been noticing.
From the testing we’ve already been doing, this may not be as random as it looks.
We took samples from a range of things people consume, miraa, potatoes and other foods, and had them tested.
What came back was worrying.
Traces of chemicals like paraquat, glyphosate, propanil and others were detected. Chemicals known to cause many cancers
Now think about that for a second....
If these chemicals are on food, it doesn’t end there.
It points to soil contamination,
and once that happens, water is affected too.
Meaning even people who are not farming could still be exposed without knowing.
Right now, we are expanding our testing across several parts of Meru, looking at water, soil and everyday foods.
We want to reach at least 10 areas,
but due to high testing and shipping costs, we’re currently working with a few as we scale.
What we are seeing so far is pointing to something bigger than many of us think.
This is something we can’t afford to ignore.
Because sometimes,
the problem doesn’t announce itself...
it builds quietly, until it’s everywhere.
5 prayers to pray over your job
1. Prayer for Purpose and Alignment
Lord, order my steps in my work. Place me where my gifts, skills, and calling align with Your will. Let my job not just pay bills, but fulfill purpose.
Proverbs 16:9
A jobless man applied for the position of 'office boy'.
The HR manager interviewed him, then gave him a test: clean the floor. The man passed the test with flying colors.
"You are hired," HR manager informed the applicant, "give me your e-mail address, and I'll send you the application for employment, as well as the date you should report for work.
The man replied " I don't have a computer, or an email!"
"I'm sorry," said the HR manager. "If you don't have an email, that means you do not exist. And we cannot hire persons who do not exist."
The man was very disappointed.
He didn't know what to do. He only had $10 with him. Once that is spent, he won't have any money to buy any food.
He went to the supermarket and bought a crate of tomatoes with his $10.
He went from door to door and sold the tomatoes in less than two hours. He doubled his money.
He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with $60. He realized that he can survive this way.
He started to go everyday earlier, and return late.
He doubled or tripled his money every day. Soon, he bought a cart, then a truck. In a very short time, he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles.
Five years later, the man became one of the biggest food retailers. He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a life insurance.
He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan.
At the end of the conversation, the broker asked him for his email address.
The man replied: ' I don't have an email.'
The broker was dumbfounded. "You don't have an email, and yet have succeeded in building an empire.
Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an email?," he exclaimed.
The man thought for a while, and replied, "an office boy"

White Afrikaans 'refugees' returning to South Africa due to financial concerns, difficulty adapting to American culture and feeling culturally isolated despite integrating into workplaces and schools
When U.S. President Donald Trump introduced a special refugee pathway for white South Africans in 2025, the policy sparked global attention. The program allowed Afrikaners—descendants of mainly Dutch settlers and Afrikaans-speaking South Africans—to enter the United States under claims of discrimination and violence at home.
Several thousand Afrikaners took the opportunity to relocate to the United States due to a false narrative of a non existent genocide on white farmers in South Africa.
South Africa’s government strongly rejected the claim that white citizens face systematic persecution. Officials argued that crime affects all South Africans regardless of race and that police statistics do not support the narrative of targeted anti-white violence.
The U.S. initiative prioritized Afrikaners for refugee admission, dramatically reshaping the country’s refugee system and reducing the overall annual cap to just 7,500 people. The Trump administration justified the policy by citing alleged discrimination and violence against white farmers and landowners in South Africa. The first group of Afrikaner families arrived in the United States in May 2025, greeted with media attention and political debate.
Yet, not long after arriving, some families have begun returning to South Africa, citing a range of personal and practical reasons for leaving the U.S.
One of the most common reasons cited by returning Afrikaners is the high cost of living in the United States.
Healthcare in particular can be a major adjustment. Unlike South Africa’s mix of public and private systems, medical treatment in the United States often requires expensive insurance or high out-of-pocket payments.
For some Afrikaner families, the economic trade-off simply did not make sense in the long term.
While American salaries are often higher, everyday expenses can be significantly greater than in South Africa. Housing, health insurance, childcare, and education can place heavy financial pressure on families. Many newcomers discover that even well-paying jobs can leave little disposable income once those costs are covered.

After getting Pope Francis's luggage loaded into the limo, the driver notices the Pope is still standing on the curb.
“Excuse me, Your Holiness,” says the driver, “Would you please take your seat so we can leave?”
“Well, to tell you the truth,” says the Pope, “They never let me drive at the Vatican, and I'd really like to drive today.”
"I'm sorry, Your Holiness, but I cannot let you do that. I'd lose my job! What if something should happen?!” protests the driver, wishing he'd never gone to work that morning.
“Who's going to tell?” says the Pope with a smile.
Reluctantly, the driver gets in the back as the Pope climbs in behind the wheel. The driver quickly regrets his decision when, after exiting the airport, the Pontiff floors it, accelerating the limo to 205 km.
"Please slow down, Your Holiness," pleads the worried driver, but the Pope keeps the pedal to the metal until they hear sirens.
"Oh, dear God, I'm going to lose my license -- and my job!” moans the driver.
The Pope pulls over and rolls down the window as the cop approaches, but the cop takes one look at him, goes back to his motorcycle, and gets on the radio.
“I need to talk to the Chief,” he says to the dispatcher.
The Chief gets on the radio and the cop tells him that he's stopped a limo going 205 kph.
“So bust him,” says the Chief.
“I don't think we want to do that. He's really important,” said the cop.
The Chief exclaimed, “All the more reason!”
“No, I mean really important,”said the cop with a bit of persistence.
The Chief then asked, “Who do you have there, the mayor?”
Cop: “Bigger.”
Chief: “A senator?”
Cop: “Bigger.”
Chief: “The President?”
Cop: “Bigger.”
“Well,” said the Chief, “who is it?”
Cop: “I think it's God!”
The Chief is even more puzzled and curious, “What makes you think it's God?”
Cop: “His chauffeur is the Pope!”
