#UnpopularOpinion #779. One of the recent lies told to young people is that it’s too late if you don’t marry by 30. Many have been pressured to find suitors that they regret in life with. It’s actually great if you found the right partner in your 20s. However, you can find the right partner even after 30. The catch should be about galvanizing yourself financially & making the right decision when the right time comes than regret decisions made out of peer or relatives pressure.
One day in Nairobi, President Moi called Lee Njiru to his office.
He narrated to Njiru the reasons he had to do a lot of balancing in dealing with the Kipsigis and Nandi politicians who looked down upon him because he came from a smaller Kalenjin sub-group, the Tugen.
He said that when he was elected to the Legislative Council (Legco) in 1955 to represent the Rift Valley, the entire Kalenjin community had only four university graduates.
He mentioned them by name as Elisha Taita Towett (a Kipsigis), Jean Marie Seroney (a Nandi), Shadrack Kimalel (a Nandi) and John Kotut arap Koitie (a Keiyo).

I have read Lee Kuan Yew’s book from third world to first world, I am yet to find a page where talks about building malls and churches. But he has mentioned education, public healthcare, investment in industry, keeping consumption expenditure down. The fundamentals must be respected.
🚨 José Mourinho: “I once had a player who didn’t want to take a small injection to play a match.
I took off my shoe and socks and I put my foot right in front of his face and I told the doctor: ‘GIVE ME THE INJECTION’. And he gave it to me and my toe was perfect.
Then I told the player, ‘C’mon you can also do it.’ He said: ‘NO, you are CRAZY’.
He played NO matches with me after this (laughs).” [BeastModeOn]
@arm_a_rat Hey teach law at LDC and run my law firm in my own premises no space for your jealousy .
The point I am saying the system of governance is unfair non inclusive and full of cronyism .
How many degree holders are unemployed since completion of universities?
Ever dated someone who vanished after the breakup? No calls, no texts, no drama. Just clean silence and a peaceful exit like you were never part of their life.
Today, we concluded the beautiful traditional marriage ceremony of our friend and cadre, Ms Caroline Angolere, in Moroto. As part of the rich Ateker cultural heritage, the family of the bride received gifts of cattle, goats, and camels from the Turkana community. What impressed me most was the spirit of collective appreciation, where relatives and close friends were also gifted in recognition of their contribution to raising and supporting Caroline throughout her life.
It was a remarkable celebration of family, unity, gratitude, and generosity—values that continue to strengthen the bonds among Ateker communities across the region. Truly a beautiful culture to witness and celebrate.
How a Staged Highway Crash Triggered the Fall of Uganda Tyrant Idi Amin
ON 19 April 1978, a staged car crash on the Jinja highway nearly claimed the life of Uganda’s Vice President, General Mustafa Adrisi. A station wagon rammed Adrisi’s Mercedes from the front, while his own military escort vehicle struck him from behind, sparking a fatal shootout between his bodyguards and the escort soldiers.
Adrisi survived with severe fractures and was flown to Cairo for treatment. Recognising that the army's Northern officer corps was fracturing along tribal lines, Idi Amin immediately launched an aggressive political counter-offensive.
Using state media, Amin issued a stern warning to the public and the armed forces, declaring that any discussion of an assassination plot or internal division would be treated as treason. He immediately stripped the hospitalised Adrisi of his defense and internal affairs portfolios, initiating a purge of Adrisi’s sympathisers within the government.
The warning backfired. Soldiers of the elite Simba Regiment in Mbarara, loyal to Adrisi, realised they were next on the purge list and mutinied. To distract from this internal military rebellion, Amin ordered the invasion of Tanzania's Kagera Salient later that year—a miscalculation that provoked the counter-invasion that toppled his regime in April 1979.

@attackdogX People in Africa are not starving. This is a myth. The only time there is a shortage of food is when there is a war going on and the only way to solve that would be invasion!
Whoever wants a silent nation should rule in a cemetry where the dead don't speak. If you intend to LEAD people, expect divergence of views. Listen and lead with influence and solomonic wisdom.
Persistent,consistent effort and adaptability overcomes seemingly immovable obstacles.
I don't agree with Gen. M.K's actions, but Joel should mind his language. There's no way you can address the CDF as 'amad man' and then claim that he tortures Ugandans. Just give him his title and criticise him.
Give this Man another term and we shall have the Yellow Monsoon wind sweep throughout Uganda in 2031 giving no room for OPPOSITION.@TodwongR@TodwongR@KagutaMuseveni .
