HATE TO SAY IT BUT I WILL: WE TOLD YOU SO!!!
This is EXACTLY what we said these houses were going to be - crowded, insecure, no water, poor sanitation - exactly the thing it was meant to solve.
Kowloon Walled City vibes.
@KFCinKenya the drive through in Nyali needs to shape up. The "song each mbele" system they've implemented is not drive through status. Currently waiting up front for my 'drive through' take away
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.
It is with deep sorrow that I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family, relatives and friends of Captain Muhammad Ahmed Hatimy following his passing on.
Losing a loved one is never easy and during this moment of profound grief, my thoughts and prayers are with those he leaves behind. May Allah grant his family strength, patience and comfort as they come to terms with this painful loss.
As we mourn his departure from this world, we find solace in the reminder from the Holy Qur’an that every soul shall taste death, and to Allah we shall all return.
May the Almighty Allah SWT forgive his shortcomings, accept his good deeds, illuminate his grave with light, and grant him the highest place in Jannatul Firdaus.
Amin.

State House budget has been increased by 171%, from Sh4.3 billion in August 2024 to Sh11.7 billion in June.
Now the largest part is for coordination of State House functions, projected to rise from Sh3.8 billion to Sh11.5 billion.
I was pleased to welcome His Highness Prince Rahim Al Hussaini Aga Khan’s envoy, H.E. Sultan Ali Allana, State House, Nairobi.
I have extended an invitation for His Highness the Aga Khan to visit Kenya for the signing of an agreement for the recognition of the Ismaili Imamat and for the conferment of Kenya’s highest civil honours, the Chief of the Order of the Golden Heart (C.G.H.).
I appreciate the work undertaken by the AKDN in Kenya, especially in health and education.
A real danger is a man who can't be broken up with and move on. I don't care what the woman did. Just go on about your business. Your pettiness won't make you more likeable

He has started posting all the people Angela has been involved with, even while they were still together
Walk with me 😂😂😂😂😂
It's about time we call out these foreign consulates. Just think about how much money they make for their countries in a single day! Tax free. No refunds.
The UK Visa Application Centre (VFS Global) in Westlands, Nairobi, is a masterclass in modern day exploitation.
Kenyans pay hundreds of dollars, wait in the sun, get misinformed, and walk away feeling less human. The new venue at Principal Place (yes, they left 9West) has no proper waiting area and no parking. This is by design to have you pay 17K for their VIP/Premium “services “
If you’re not paying for premium services, you’re left outside in the heat, on the pavement. Elderly people, parents with kids, students, all treated like a security threat
Their Communication is Trash. You get vague emails like “your passport is ready for collection ” only to be turned away and told “collection is from 2pm to 5pm, (you can easily indicate that on the same damn email) That means if you show up at 10am, you’ll have to wait till 2pm or you can easily pay the 17K to be attended to quickly.. ?? EXPLOITATION
No clear timeline. No courtesy. You’re meant to guess your way through it.
These centers aren’t run by embassies, they’re outsourced to private companies who monetize your desperation. It’s a business, not a service.
And guess what? No refund if your visa is denied(familiar?)
The worst part? This is normalized.
We’ve accepted that applying for a visa means surrendering your dignity just to maybe be allowed into a country that benefits from our labor, money, and talent.
If Global North countries want to charge Africans these high fees and accord them zero dignity , the bare minimum should be basic human respect. Decent waiting areas. Transparent timelines and Fair communication.
This isn’t about security. It’s about power and exploitation…
This system needs to be called out and changed.
And it’s time African governments started protecting their citizens from this daylight exploitation.
Loving how white folks are coming out as matyrs for White South Africans. Where was this effort pre 94? Most of y'all can't even point out where South Africa is on a map. P.S @elonmusk fled South Africa because of the WHITE apartheid regime... 🙄
@jbamban @iamyesyouareno Ummm the thief is a roman gypsy? They are the majority of the pick pockets in Europe and because they have special treatment for being nomads across Europe, they can never be deported. Did you know?
@iam__wambui @WilliamsRuto I just saw the headline and I was about to ask this very question!! This river has been subject of 'regeneration' since 2008!
