The hardest lesson I’ve learned this year is that you can never force someone to communicate, to stay, or to work things out. You can’t beg someone to recognize your worth or convince them that you’re worth fighting for and walk away with your dignity intact. I stand by that now.
Men,
Learn to thrive and survive alone,
People will abandon you,
Your woman will abandon you,
But your spirit will NOT,
But your inner strength will NOT.
Be your own anchor.
YOU ARE A MAN
#MasculinitySaturday
If you are an observant person,
A man who is keen, and concerned about his consciousness,
You will realise something unusual is happening,
There is a silent shift going on,
We are moving from an OWNERSHIP ECONOMY to a SUBSCRIPTION ECONOMY.
In a subscription economy, you own nothing, but you pay for goods and services which you consume,
For example,
Back in the 90s,
We bought and owned music hardware like cassettes and discs,
This ensured that the music hardware was yours and nobody would charge you a recurring monthly fee to play music,
We owned newspapers and kept them,
We bought and owned books,
We owned letters written to us,
We bought, and claimed ownership,
But this is changing, and it is concerning,
In a subscription economy, you own nothing, but you pay for it.
MKOPA phones and Electric bikes are examples of how we have lost ownership of what we have bought.
It will reach a time where,
• You won't make a call, unless you subscribe to a calling service, on top of buying airtime,
• You won't send an email unless you subscribe, or you will lose all your emails,
• You won't listen to music unless you pay a monthly subscription fee for streaming,
• You won't send a text or a WhatsApp message unless you subscribe to a monthly plan, or get used to annoying advertisements,
• You won't cook food unless you pay for a monthly gas subscription plan or pay double for electricity,
• You won't drink clean water unless you subscribe to a monthly water delivery plan.
Ultimately, you won't own land or a house or a cow,
You will own nothing, and you will never be happy.
You will become a slave of the subscription economy.
That day is coming.
If you are wise,
• Go to a rural area,
• Own land,
• Get solar,
• Sink a borehole,
• Keep poultry, cows, goats and sheep,
• Grow your food.
Don't sit in the city like sheep.
Freedom will be given to those who will defeat the subscription economy.
WAKE UP!
#ManDay
A man's end month:
"Daddy, new shoes for church. Mummy said the one I wanted was 2,000."
"Hello dear, also, don't forget to deposit Ray's fees tomorrow. It is 18,000 for Grade 5 pupils."
"Hello Dad, the WiFi isn't working. I have an online lesson for Research Writing this evening. Send 6,500 to pay for its reconnection."
"Hello parents, the Grade 10 Yellow will be going for a Mathematics trip to the Museum of Illusion, Nairobi. The cost of the trip per student is 15,000."
"Boss, the tree on the lower side fell on the cowshed. Fundi repaired it. Send 4,000."
"Hello, dear, my dad's monthly diabetes clinic is tomorrow. Send me 7,000 to fuel the car."
"Baba Ray, good afternoon. Ray took three bunches of bananas for cooking yesterday. The Bill is 1500."
"Bro, the vet treated mum's cow. I paid 100, the balance is 2,900."
"Boss, the balance on the previous repair of the sockets and bulbs was 6,000. Please send me so that I can pay the electrical shop."
"Bro, my husband was severely injured last night after a fight. We are fundraising for his head surgery. As my elder bro, send 3,000."
"Hello, sir, James, the janitor in the maintenance department, lost his wife. We are fundraising. Send 1,000."
"Boss, I will not be there on Wednesday, so bring your car for service tomorrow morning. The bill is 8,000."
"Hello, cousin, I was called for an interview but I don't have fare. Please send me 1,000 for fare and lunch."
"Praise God, brethren, Kevin's wedding committee will sit tomorrow. As the chairman, you will kickstart the fundraising with 25,000."
"Good evening, your gym subscription will end tomorrow. Please pay 2,500 to continue with your fitness classes without interruption. Thank you."
"Hi, I need a favour. My gas went off when I had just put the veggies on cooker. Please send me 3,000. I will refund you tomorrow."
To be a MAN is to bear responsibility for all things.
#MasculinitySaturday
A woman who wants to live with you, will seek excuses to remain.
A woman who wants to leave, will seek excuses to go.
Don't beg any woman to be with you.
Focus on your purpose.
Everyone is waiting for your downfall.
Everyone is waiting for the right condition to insult you.
Don't give them the opportunity.
Tighten your boundaries and close the doors.
Men,
Never trust what a woman tells you,
“I love you”
“I will never leave you”
“We are meant to be together”
These are emotions she triggers to please herself at that moment,
Her words & promises are baseless.
Two days later she will dump you.
#MasculinitySaturday
A woman can leave a caring, compassionate, loving man who is also a hardworking present father, accuse him of "cheating" only to go and become a second or third wife or a side chick of a man who doesn't care.
If you love a woman too much, she will use you. But if you use a woman's emotions correctly, she will love you.
Yeah, I know it sounds unfair, right? But that's exactly why playboys keep winning while nice guys keep crying in the bathroom listening to sad music.
Think about it. The nice guy says, baby, I will always be there for you. The playboy says, I'm busy tonight, maybe next week. And somehow, magically, she becomes more interested in the second guy. Why?
Because attraction is not built on comfort. It is built on uncertainty and challenge.
I once knew a guy who bought his girlfriend everything. Flowers, gifts, late-night phone calls, good morning texts, every day.
You know what she did? She left him. For a guy who replied three days later with lol. Crazy, right? But that's female psychology. Women don't fall in love with the nicest man. They fall in love with the most emotionally exciting man.
And if you don't understand that, you will keep getting used like a free Uber driver with emotions. Stop being the nice guy. Be respectful, yes. But never be desperate, predictable, or available 24-7. Because the sad reality is this. The man who worships women loses them. But the man who understands women controls the game.
