I'd like to have a thread of the cool hotels/restaurants I have visited. I've lost most photos though 😭
But here it is.

So far at the 2026 FIFA Epstein Cup before a ball kicked:
- Senegal & Uzbekistan squads treated like criminals upon arrival given full cavity searches;
- Africa’s best referee sent back to Somalia despite having a diplomatic passport;
- Iraq team photographer sent back despite valid visa;
- AIPS (international sport journalist association) calling on FIFA to sort out unacceptable visa issues of African & Iranian journalists;
- 90% of Moroccan fans with tickets denied entry
- 14 members of Iran backroom staff denied visas
Not a word from Gianni ”today I feel black/gay/disabled etc” Infantino.
FIFA confirm Omar Abdulkadir Artan can’t officiate at the World Cup after being denied entry into the United States.
The Somali referee is one of Africa’s most respected officials. Somalia's Ministry of Youth and Sports say Artan travelled with a valid US visa.
Yet Somalia is on a travel ban list introduced by President Trump’s administration.
🗣️ “FIFA is not involved in host country immigration processes, including visa adjudications, and has been informed by authorities that Mr Artan's status will not be changed at present.
“In line with previous FIFA events, a host government ultimately determines who receives a visa and who is admitted into their country.”
Somali referee Omar Artan, who was set to be the first from his country to officiate at the World Cup finals, has been denied entry to the United States.
We are really sorry for this experience. We confirm that the OCS logged this incident with our team at the end of the day. While we make delibarate effort to augment existing provisions, Kasarani is a multi site complex with concurrent events & occupancy at any given time, thus the Stadium management own & run main gates & main parking security operations.
Please DM us directly so we connect you to our team for further support.
I think I’m gonna be single for life. I truly do not like men as a species. The way they think is so disturbing to me. I only like them as a concept, entertainment and something to look at.
The millennial/old school/throwback events seem like a nostalgic love for the past. However, deep down, I think they represent a resentment toward the present for not becoming what we hoped
You start doing Pilates and you realize it’s really about strength and control and nothing to do with flexibility.
Mama raised a complainer, not a quitter.
Kenya's 'middle class' is too busy attending half marathons and music festivals to notice attempts at destroying them.
Housing levy, fuel levy, PAYE, incoming carbon tax, inflation, fuel price hikes, rising cost of living while salaries remain the same.
Wake up sheeple.
At km 36, I found an elite almost fainting, she requested for my water which I immediately gave her… only to realize that the next time I would be seeing water was 4 km away 💀
Luckily, at around km 37, a runner on the other side headed towards JKIA, was gracious enough to give me their water. I hope they did not suffer for it.
A few meters later, someone asked me for the same bottle… and I just remember saying to myself, Woi, Tutafika lini… it was really bad!
To the organizers of Nairobi City Marathon, if you are not going to allow our personal supporters into the course, increase water points and give people electrolytes!
