Love over fear

[The People’s President @bonifacemwangi]

Dr Job Obwaka, a decorated obstetrician and senior leader at The Nairobi Hospital, was abducted around 9:00am this Saturday morning by police officers. His phone was confiscated and switched off, sparking widespread concern for his safety.

Dr Obwaka had anticipated his potential arrest amid an ongoing dispute over the hospital’s management and land ownership and had already secured anticipatory bail to avoid detention.

This appears connected to allegations of a powerful push to seize control of The Nairobi Hospital and the valuable land it owns. Drawing from patterns in similar high-stakes business conflicts, there are fears that Obwaka could face coercion, including beatings, humiliation, or pressure to surrender Nairobi Hospital interests to a powerful man. He is the latest victim to follow this pattern.

In August 2023, the sugar billionaire Jaswant Singh Rai (chairman of Kabras Sugar and related firms) was abducted in Nairobi’s Kilimani area. He had earlier defied Ruto, and was told to choose death or handover his interest in Mumias Sugar. He was abducted, tortured, and threatened, after which he handed over his interests upon being released.

In late 2024, businessman Benson Sande Ndeta (founder of Savannah Clinker) expressed interest in acquiring Bamburi Cement. Someone who is building avoidable housing, and the main steel and cement supplier, wanted to buy Bamburi. Ndeta was arrested, detained, and told to keep off, but he refused. He was then charged with eight counts of fraud. Then, after giving up his bid to buy Bamburi, the charges against him were magically dropped.

These cases highlight a disturbing pattern: individuals challenging powerful interests in major deals often encounter enforced disappearances, detention, or other pressures that lead to conceding.

All three arrests have one thing in common, he gets what he wants, even if it means, abducting, torturing, or even killing anyone who stands in his way. There is a class of privileged Kenyans who think their money will save them from this level of impunity. Your money will not save you if we don’t reclaim Kenya and send this greedy man home.

This is a man who doesn’t believe that even God can stop him. He wanted to steal land in State House by claiming he was building a Ksh 2 billion church, before the courts stopped him.

As you demand to have Dr Obwaka released, shout even louder for everyone who doesn’t have a voters card to urgently get one. All those illegal immigrants he is registering might vote but the will of the Kenyan people shall prevail.

It is reversible incase you change your mind.

It is a less invasive procedure.

Nobody’s libido has to suffer.

Lower risks or complications.

It is way cheaper than a hysterectomy!!!

With these few points of mine, I hope I have convinced you to allow your wife’s body rest.

But we are ready for this conversation. So now that you've mentioned it, let's talk about it. And I want us to go straight to the primary source - the actual main character, as it were.

You have a massive crowd. They've been listening to you talk all day. They're famished.

There is no excuse for rape. Intoxicated people cannot consent. Drugged people cannot consent. Consent must be clear and not coerced. Nonconsensual sex is rape.

Lets not tap dance around the issue of rape. Simply DON'T rape. Conversation over.

DONT RAPE!!!!

Databases like Google Scholar have limited functionality. They let you use *only* keywords to search articles.

But what if you want to look up articles based on a whole paragraph, or your notes?

Sourcely is an AI-powered app that helps you do that.

Here's how to use it:

[Mushtaq Bilal, PhD @MushtaqBilalPhD]

Don't use ChatGPT for academic research. It creates fake citations to papers that don't even exist.

Instead, use Scite Assistant — an AI-powered app designed for researchers.

It answers your questions with citations to (real) published papers.

If it was possible to go to church just for the praise and worship then leave then I’d be doing it.

Modern Retirement has shifted from having to hit a certain age & never working again,

To hitting a certain financial figure & having the freedom to choose what to do with your life.

The idea of postponing living the life you want until you hit a certain age is ridiculous.

Gentle parenting is actually about you learning to manage your anger and emotions, you working on your communication style, you learning to affirm more than you criticize, you learning to be patient, gentle parenting isn't just about the kids,it starts with reparenting yourself.

Dehydration in infants and toddlers can easily lead to shock (due to water loss) and this can eventually lead to death. Being able to identify dehydration as a parent is a life saving skill. Here are some of the danger signs ⚠️you must know as a parent 🧵

You get in relationships to LEARN how to love each other, you're not suppose to automatically know. People assume this and are too quick to break up.
