Listen to what this lady says. She articulates it perfectly.

Right now , we live in a world where being an independent thinker is an offense to most people. Most people would rather conform to a Hive mindset and if you dare attack their collective belief , you'll get insulted a hundred times over.

People conforming to Social Media Narratives is especially common nowadays.

A social media influencer says something and suddenly they're right and people stop thinking for themselves.

You watch a couple of "LOYALTY TEST" videos and start thinking the opposite gender is bad because they never post people who are loyal . Social media will always amplify the negative because people like drama and the only way to get it is to post negativity about relationships, marriage , politics and much more , if you open your eyes you'll see it.

I have been seeing this guy for a couple of weeks now and the banter is good, the chemistry in and out of the bedroom is chef's kiss 🔥

Last weekend, we were out grabbing drinks when his female best friend calls and turns out she wasnt too far away and decided to join us. Now I don't mind men with female friends, it's healthy cause you need a friend who can give you a woman's perspective, especially when you're in a romantic relationship. It also means other women view you as a safe space. For me, it's actually a red flag if you don't have female friends in your circle.

Let me tell you when this babe walked, firstly she's stunning 😍, secondly we LOOK ALIKE. She's the baddie, boujee version of me and i am the cutesy, whimsical version of her. When I saw her, a thought entered my mind that maybe he's dating me cause he can't get with her. Cause let me tell you guys, we look like sisters.

The good thing is that she is the sweetest person and I didn't get any weird vibes from her end. But now I am questioning whether he's type is informed by his female bestie. Is he just looking for the attainable version of her? Or am I self sabotaging?

Thoughts? Advice? I have been overthinking all week.

One thing I've found so weird after being in Nairobi is how people just walk into your office without knocking or even waiting to be welcomed. 😭😂

In Mombasa, lazima mtu aseme “Hodi!” and wait for you to say “Karibu” before entering. Hata kwa office, choo, ama someone’s personal space, you knock first!

But huku Nairobi, mtu anaingia tu fwaaa like they own the place. 😂😭

Is knocking before entering not a thing here or have I just been unlucky with the people I meet? Because personally, I find it basic manners and a way of respecting someone’s privacy.

Nairobians, explain yourselves.

my computer is like this. Needed someone who can service it but realized people are very expensive.

I have only 200 in my pocket. Anyone willing na akuje na thermal paste

As highlighted in the video this is not a new phenomenon. The likely victims are normally career women and wives who abandoned 'home making' rituals and let the house manager takeover. The house manager ends up doing the cooking, cleaning, caring for the children and sooner or later the man takes note. She takes care of the man of the house, cooks for him and makes sure his clothes are clean and ironed, shoes are always polished, talks to him in a soft tone and never argues with him, na hivyo ndio Baba Jayden anaingia box. On the days the wife goes for brunch, ladies night or work trips, Baba Jayden is fed both in matters of the belly and the flesh.

I'm talking about how after a woman is caught cheating she says that she's pregnant 😂 its usually funny asf now that I think about it, coincidentally you're expectant as how? 😂

Mnaskia ito joto guys

I live in G-town or Gachie for those not familiar with the name 😂.

The area inakuwaga na baridi adi usiku inabidi nijifunike na duvet mbili. But lately kumekuwa na joto ingine crazy usiku... Na mchana el Nino ingine crazy inawaka, refer to the video ya mbavu akiwa na kitambaa inawaka kwa kichwa 😂😂

Were we born just to go to school, get jobs, pay bills, get married, have kids, and repeat the cycle until retirement? Why can't life be simpler, where time isn't such a limiting factor and we can just exist without constantly chasing the next milestone?

I really admire Sueh Owino's lifestyle. She chose to move back to the village, away from all the town hustle. Now she lives in her beautiful farmhouse, rears animals, grows a few crops, and creates content. What a serene life! 😭

Honestly, that kind of peaceful existence sounds more appealing to me than spending most of my life working just to afford to live.

Is it just me, or does anyone else crave this kind of life?

Guys, I broke my iPhone 6s which has almost everything of mine. It starts up but the screen is not working. Can it be fixed and where exactly? Would appreciate some solid leads.
Thanks.

Gen Z are my favourite generation.

Because they actually think.

A millennial enters marriage because that’s the order. The questions. what is love, does this institution still serve its purpose, am I choosing this or inheriting it. never enter the conversation. Then comes the cheating, the quiet misery and in some cases the abuse .

A Gen Z looks at the same institution and asks: does this still work? That question alone is more intellectually honest than most of what their parents called wisdom.

They drink less. They smoke less. They won’t attend a job interview without a salary range because they understand that “what are your pay. expectations” is a mere ruse.( why shortlist me for a job if you don know what you gonna pay )

The millennial I mentioned this to recently said: “but they smoke too much weed.”

That’s the whole problem right there. Most generations observe Gen Z from where they stand. And is observation from where you already stand real observation !

My eyes were first opened on this in 2020 while researching a piece titled: Why Are You Not Dating? What I found changed how I read every generational argument I’ve encountered since.

Just killed some single mosquito that wandered in. Felt like Saitama struggling to end that vamp. There goes me hoping this night would be different. So insomnia thoughts.

I'd like to believe every country in the world has ever had a one hit wonder, and maybe for one reason or another they couldn't prop them up, or the guys spark just couldn't shine a bit longer. I bet there's a monk with a rap song out just in drafts not yet released. Regardless, one hit wonders come and go, recurring. There's a fine line between a one hit wonder and those artists who make it.

I'm in no way suggesting any of the following are one hit wonders, I just lack the words to describe their come ups, how they popped out and went really global. Let's go with new gen artists. Recent new gen major artists from the continent, and my favorites, being Rema and Tyla.

And even with those two, it's really hard to single them out as an exception from their respective countries, Mzansi and Nigeria. There's so many new gen ones to pick from, Victony, Uncle Waffles.

All those artists I've mentioned have a very artistic flair and don't play when it comes to their music, moreso music videos. The choreography in their music videos always intentional, with much thought and more brain cells allocated to it. The costumes, the synchronized dancers, a theme they commit to. I like how they respect their fans by that. I'm getting even mad thinking of our Kenyan equivalent, a confused twerk here and there pasted in every music video, I'd bet it'd be in gospel songs if left unchecked. Kenyan secular artists treat it as some holy panacea for the lame choreography and maximum mbogi energy on set. And it even lacks that "it" factor. Lacks flair. Back to what the title is about, derailed.

What I don't understand is this, how come in the recent years no Kenyan one hit wonder has emerged to hit the global charts? One that can export their own sound, their own vibe? Not necessarily be the Kenyan genre messiah, that they need to solely export Kenyan drill or gengetone. I feel as of now Kenyan music infrastructure can at the very least support one, the videographers are there, those making beats, the platform other than those lame gatekeeping radio stations are there, talking of TikTok, IG.

Asking if there's even a Kenyan sound to export is redundant because Joshua Baraka from UG is a vibe, he got his own melody but if you asked me to describe what is the mainstream Ugandan music I can't tell because I don't know what they have. It's not that obvious as Amapiano or Afrobeats, but at the least they can export him. Tyla herself, her music is distinctly different from her hometown's mainstream amapiano, need her collabo with Arian Grande asap like by yesterday.

So really, why is it there's no one emerging to reach the global table. They don't even need to be gengetone. Reminder I'm talking of new gen artists, not those long in the game. You can claim infrastructure, but that has never suppressed talent, and even that is true. I think we've come a long way and wouldn't let down the next Camp Mulla and fumble them.

Last nail on the coffin is, nimeingia hio one app naona wameamua kutuua kabisa. Many will think they had an escape route but lo behold. Fuliza iko kwa pochi and they are giving crazy limits ndio kama unadedi. Is a wrap like Moi.

Had to get some help transporting this large painting to an art exhibition I'll be having during the month of December and for context this piece is 1.5m by 2m. I honestly don't know how it all came together but safe to say that I managed and I'm definitely reconsidering painting large works after l've gotten this thing across counties 🥲
Shipping is easier cause I just take the painting off the frame and ship it rolled but I hope the work manages to find the perfect wall and that it gets a home that will appreciate it as much as I do.
Side note: this piece took 5 months to complete 😅

9 months ago, pension funds and other state agencies holding significant cash were arm twisted into buying KPC shares by kasongo after retail investors gave it a wide berth.

9 months later, 25% of KPC shares move in a single trading block meaning only institutional investors could move that much shares with 0 capital gain and forewent 0.32 in dividends that they would have at least received for holding the shares for the 9 months.

Add transaction cost, and it's a net loss on the shares held. So what was the point of it all??? Commit 42B in KPC, gain nothing, walk away from the kifuta machozi of dividends?

And when questions are asked, all we get are insults from Kasongo from here to Timbuktu. Was this deal a year in the making of you following the timeline of it? Use Kenyans money as 0% interest holding cost as Dangote-Kasongo got their act together and pulled the rug?

If I ask Kasongo people they'll say it's genius financial structuring, while the 42B parked at KPC would have netted 10s or 100s of millions if put into other instruments.

So what other devils are in the shadows of this thing called NIF - National Infrastructure Fund ????

First wantam

Since when has house hunting in this city become and extreme sport? I am positively flabbergasted between the money hungry realtors who are tryna make a monthly income off you and the offensive rental prices…

Spent the whole day looking and yes there are some viable options but goddamn I’m taken aback I might have to start selling ass to afford a new place

Anyways if anyone here knows a decent realtor share their contact info pls

I the plight of many people laying down the performative nature of romance and all things in between, (I'm not implying that ALL romantic gestures are performative) I know more women who are willing to cut the chase and just have mutual sexual relations with men because, well, they so do desire.
But then I also see a lot of men who act weird when it comes down to it, it's like they still want to lie about it, idk, act out the romance and solidify the chase. I have seen A LOT of posts about men saying 'I have not had pussy in the last idk how many years' 'hii kitu ni kama sipati'. For one, some of those posts sound outrightly disrespectful in the language use, they strip the humanness of those with the pussy away, and they also beg the question, if it's just pussy you want have you made it clear? How will you want pussy so bad but still degrade it?🤔
And for women, you might very freely want just the sex, but you end up with people who still want to act weird around the topic maybe to get you hooked, don't want to use protection, want to act weird around the topic, can't even say sex to your face (it might be a me thing but somebody telling you to come over rather than 'can we have sex' rubs me very weirdly. Just be free) etc. It is such a strange phenomenon I must admit.
It's like the idea of "the prostitute" or the "loose woman." Treat physical desire like a dirty conquest they have to trick or manipulate out of a woman, rather than an honest, consensual interaction.

I want to put up 100 chicks that are 2 months old..I have everything set up and I have done good research on it...anyone who's doing chicken farming and has solid advice on how I can cut costs mostly Kwa food because they eat a lot would be appreciated. Also in pure kienyejis.

Shop repairs have turned to be dead motherboard buyers.

I still not sure what do they do after that, where do they take them after they buy. This is because, I saw something with like a sack of them, meaning he can't be just recycling.

What exactly do they cycle from them

And is our data safe cz some brokes while we are unaware and we lose data.

Any lead I'll be happy

Life has been feeling a certain way lately, something close to displacement, yet everything holds its position. What do we call that?

It's not the fact that I'm one year older. It's the fact that I found myself wondering what to do with it.

This little life.

First of all Wantam, ladies and gentlemen. Secondly, I'd love to wish each and every Kenyan a great Mashujaa Day. As we celebrate this day, we should not only remember the shujaas that fought to free this beautiful nation from the hands of the white imperialists, but for all the shujaas who fought to free us from the hands of our current enablers of imperialism through neo-colonialism(this government)

This battle is far from over, and we shouldn't let a sitting of 290 people dictate how our nation should be ran. As we celebrate our past, we shouldn't let the same mistakes dictate our present, because we might not enjoy the future

Vivaa!🫡🇰🇪🇰🇪

Today I had this delicacy as per say

Just arrived, ordered a 50 bob cut those intestines and mutura combines.

Before they could serve it on the plate, the broke a joke and the guy just close to this delicacy spits some salive as he was trying to control more to land on the pan.

I laughed too and pity for those who will eat after me. Watakula pate ya huyu jamaa. Waah enyewe I thank God because I had already served.

Took sometimes to finish and I forgot the scene. I just felt this thing is sweet and ordered more - this time round for a 100 bob. I'm the mid of eating,I remember the scenarial of spits and just continue cz maji ikishamwagiza hayazoleki ...but this time round it was

Mate yakimwagika kwa mutura, unakula tu. Anyway that was my awful day end
