I want to say this, Before you marry a woman, • Understand her family's taboos, traditions, values, morals and beliefs. This is important. • Take her to your home, and leave her there for a while to bond with your traditions, values, morals and beliefs. • Go to her home and introduce yourself. This is not you going. It is your uncle, siblings and aunts. You remain behind. • Invite her brothers, uncles, aunts and otheŕ relatives to your home. This is when they see you for the first time. This is when you interact with them for the first time. • After this, plan and go to her home. This is the first time you go there. Go with your friends, siblings and parents. This is where bride price talks are introduced. This is when you meet her father and mother for the first time. Why do all these? To protect yourself and your children's future. But most of you are ignorant. You live in the city like vagabonds. You meet a woman in the city and hide her in your city's house. Impregnate her in the city. Have children in the city. Then, when things fail and her family take her away, you throw tantrums, loiter around court corridors and jeopardise your children's future. Some of you shamelessly meet your father-in-law for the first time in a funeral. Or some of you, casually meet your father-in-law in a bar. Your children don't even know their village. When will you be straightforward and subservient to our cultural norms as an African? Stop being a bladifakin man.

I never imagined I'd be the one asking for help. I've spent my life on the other side checking pulses, holding hands, telling patients "you'll be okay." Today, I'm the one who needs to hear that. This is Day One of appealing to my 30 Followers,online community and well-wishers to help me raise the Sh6 million needed for my kidney transplant. THREAD

That Ruto is cornered is no longer something to dismiss, because the political mood, the anger on the ground and the fractures around him are becoming harder to ignore. “Ruto Must Go” can win an election, but it cannot run a country, and the opposition must now start telling Kenyans what happens after the celebrations are over. Start with the national debt. Which loans will they honour, which ones will they audit, what happens to odious or questionable debt, and how exactly will they stop Kenya from borrowing simply to repay previous borrowing? Then tell us what happens to this bloated government structure where almost every problem has somehow produced an authority, agency, board, council, commission, fund, secretariat, director general, board chairman, CEO, offices, vehicles and allowances. Why, for example, does Kenya need a whole Kenya Water Towers Agency with its own board and administration to coordinate conservation of water towers instead of placing that work directly inside the responsible ministry alongside the existing forestry, water and environmental departments? The government itself has admitted that some State corporations have overlapping or duplicated mandates and has been trying to merge or restructure them, which tells you the problem is not imaginary. How many water agencies does one country need before water actually reaches people's taps, when we already have the Ministry of Water, Water Works Development Agencies, the National Water Harvesting and Storage Authority, Water Resources Authority and other institutions funded from the same taxpayer? How many agricultural boards, authorities and corporations do we need before farmers receive affordable fertiliser, functioning markets and reasonable prices for what they produce? How many youth funds, women funds, enterprise funds and empowerment programmes must exist separately, each carrying administrators and operational costs, instead of creating one properly managed financing institution with measurable results? Why do functions that could comfortably sit as departments inside ministries repeatedly become standalone State corporations requiring CEOs, boards, procurement departments, HR departments, finance departments, legal departments and expensive headquarters? The opposition must tell us which State corporations it will abolish, which ones it will merge, which boards disappear on day one and how much money those changes will actually save taxpayers. Tell us what happens to SHA and whether healthcare will continue being built around deductions, unexplained private technology companies and layers of agencies before money finally reaches the hospital treating the patient. Tell us what happens to the housing levy, and whether government should really be collecting money from every worker, building houses, identifying beneficiaries, financing mortgages and competing with private developers at the same time. Tell us what happens to university funding, HELB, school capitation and the endless experiments that leave parents discovering new education policies after schools have already opened. Tell us what happens to county financing and whether governors will continue travelling to Nairobi every few months begging Treasury to release money that Parliament already allocated to counties. Tell us what happens to corruption cases, because Kenyans do not need another government that arrives with its own thieves, protects them for five years and suddenly discovers corruption when somebody falls out politically. Tell us what happens to procurement. Will every tender, beneficial owner, contract variation and final payment become publicly searchable, or will we continue pretending transparency exists when more than half of government contractors can remain hidden behind companies? Tell us what happens to the police. Will the next president still call commanders when he wants opponents arrested, or will Kenya finally build a police service where an officer fears the law more than he fears State House? Tell us what happens to the DCI, ODPP, EACC, intelligence services and other institutions that become extremely energetic when powerful people have private problems but suddenly develop weak knees when politically connected goons, killers and thieves are involved. Tell us what happens to State House spending, advisers, presidential delivery units, special envoys, taskforces and endless committees created whenever somebody in government wants another office. Tell us what happens to Cabinet size, principal secretaries, CAS style positions if they return under another name, government advisers and political appointees scattered through State corporations. Tell us whether government vehicles will still consume billions transporting officials to meetings where they discuss why government has no money. Tell us whether every new president will continue creating offices for election losers and coalition partners instead of forcing political parties to carry the cost of their own political settlements. Tell us what happens to taxes, because promising to reduce taxation is easy until the same politicians enter Treasury and discover they inherited a government whose recurrent expenditure they are unwilling to cut. Tell us what happens to pending bills, because thousands of businesses have supplied government, paid VAT, borrowed money to perform contracts and then waited years for the State to pay them. Tell us what happens to electricity costs, fuel taxes, manufacturing, agriculture and small businesses, because Kenya cannot tax itself into prosperity and then wonder why investors move production elsewhere. And most importantly, tell us what happens to the structure of political power itself. If all the opposition is offering is another president controlling Parliament, influencing prosecutors, intimidating independent institutions, appointing friends everywhere and borrowing billions with no consequences, then we are simply preparing the next “Must Go” movement. Ruto going is now a reality. But Kenya cannot spend the next year discussing who takes the cake without asking why the cake is this expensive, why so many people are eating from it and why ordinary Kenyans are always the ones paying for it.

CNN’s investigation into Tanzania’s post-election violence is out tomorrow around the world

The woman who complained that her child was being denied access through Ralph Estate’s gate has been summoned to DCI Kitengela. @DCI_Kenya Kitengela say she’ll be charged with “abuse of social media.” She is currently being held at the station.

By the way; what if I told you I’ve quietly shipped several common food samples the ones most Kenyans use every day to different labs? We tested for heavy metals. For carcinogenic compounds. For things that should never be in our food. And let’s just say, KEBS is seriously screwing up Kenyans. 👀 Why should mercury be in cooking oil, or even sugar? Why should cancer causing compounds be showing up at all? I won’t mention names or brands not yet. But everything is documented. We’ll talk about this soon. Very soon. We'll dedicate a full week for this As I said we are on our own & we have to do it ourselves. We have to fix Kenya ourselves

My brothers and sisters, I’ve just seen Ruto proudly saying "we and the World Bank have raised Ksh 5 billion to support 100,000 young people under NYOTA MTAANI." But let me tell you something he isn’t saying, and something no media house is talking about. And if you doubt me, go check. Because what I’m about to say affects every single one of us. This NYOTA money was never "raised." It’s a loan from the World Bank that Ruto govt applied in 2023 & has been disbursed Signed quietly on 6th December 2023, with another detailed agreement signed in August 2023. It was Njuguna Ndung’u who signed it. (I’ll attach the evidence.) The total loan is 91.1 million Euros that’s about Ksh 13.6 billion, plus a grant of over Ksh 3 billion. (Evidence below.) Repayment starts October 15, 2029 and ends April 15, 2035. (Evidence in replies.) But remember Ruto’s words? "We will not borrow." Or "We won’t keep digging." Yet here he is, taking billions in loans, giving a small portion to 100,000 youths, and leaving millions of us with the debt. Ruto is sinking Kenya in loans And what’s sad is, this country has over 4 million unemployed youths. Instead of lowering taxes, encouraging industries to create jobs, or reducing university fees, they’re doing the opposite. Taking loans to bribe a few youths for 2027. And when repayment comes, even those who never touched a single shilling will pay through higher taxes. Tell me, how is that not madness? What's even sad is the total money is over 15 billion ksh . Where has the 10 billion disappeared to? By the way, the details of this loan have been hidden on the World Bank portal. If you search the project name or loan ID, you won’t find it. They don’t want ordinary Kenyans to know. But we downloaded everything before they hid it, the full agreements, the figures, the proof. Instead of lowering taxes so young people can start real businesses and create jobs, they’re increasing taxes, borrowing money, and calling it "empowerment." My people, is this leadership or deception? Because what we are witnessing is debt being packaged as opportunity. I’ll share the evidence and loan documents in the replies. And to everyone who believes in truth, who believes we deserve better, please support us. My laptop broke down, and I’ve had to borrow one just to put this together. It’s under repair, but I hope to get a new one soon because there’s a lot more we plan to expose. Whatever little you can contribute to help us get a new laptop and keep speaking truth, our Mpesa Till Number is 6280853. 🙏🏽 They have money. They have media. But we have truth. And the day we stop asking questions, they win. And I refuse to let them win.

Was craving my face so I made a crochet of it🤭 Please use a sec of your time to like and retweet 🙏🏾

Hello, my name is Lucy. I recently completed my degree in Education (awaiting graduation) and I’m actively seeking job opportunities in Nairobi. I’m open to teaching, admin, customer service, or any role where I can contribute, learn and grow.

Someone's Subaru failed at TRM roundabout. With kids inside all wearing Kenya shirts clearly from Kasarani, I blocked all cars and jumpstarted him even when cops came with that entitlement of causing obstruction nyef nyef. All motorists cheered the sound of the car restarting.

Tax Kenyans to the bone, waste it on second-term campaign camaraderie, then call it “empowerment”? That’s not leadership—it’s economic sabotage and a crime against humanity. Action, not freebies. Wantam is real! #OccupyStateHouse 😭
