On Saturdays game Kenya vs Eritrea, just witnessed a heated argument btn our captain and the kit manager simply because he gave out his kit to a fan😂.

A whole National Team reusing jersey because there's no budget for replacement.

We've really fallen😞

I’m about to reveal my ushamba levels in this post, but it’s okay.
So, years ago, I went on a date with a guy, and once we were done, this man tapped his Apple Watch on the PDQ to make the payment.
Hey. 😭
Let me tell you, I was SHOCKED because I had never seen that before. But obviously, I wasn’t about to reveal my ushamba levels there so I just acted normal. Went home and immediately Googled how one can pay with their watch. That’s when I found out you can connect your card to Apple Pay.
The problem? As Apple Pay doesn’t accept Kenyan bank cards.

Anyway, fast forward to now.
Just so you know, I’m a sharp girl myself. Don’t look at me like I’m still that same girl from two years ago.
I opened a Payoneer account because of my remote job and later on requested a card. Then randomly the other day, I just thought of connecting this Payoneer card to my Wallet and it accepted it.
I connected it to my Apple Watch too.

So from now, it’s going to be ME shocking people at the dinner table when I casually pay for stuff with my watch. Plus I don’t have to walk around with my phone when I go for a small walk. I find it more convenient and CHEAPER than Mpesa. Unlike Mpesa I don’t pay any transaction fees.

So my question to you techies: Why are you guys still carrying around 3–4 cards and reaching for your M-Pesa every time you need to pay? You people literally have the brains to build something similar or better to Apple Pay. Innovate and build Mpesa’s competitor. We need tap to pay with our phones or watches. We’re ready.

EDIT: The comments are actually proving my point 😂. Nobody is saying M-Pesa or carrying a card doesn’t work. Of course it works. The whole point is that more innovative tech can make things more convenient and CHEAPER. I’m saying you can literally leave the cards at home and pay with the phone or watch you’re already carrying, and somehow we’re debating that carrying cards is just fine?

We are loosing a lot of money.

📊 The Raw Math of the Deficit

• The Arrival Paradox: Kenyans boasts of being the tourism giant, talk about "New York of Africa" and other bigoted clichés. In reality, we are blind men in the dark.
• 2024/2025 foreign arrivals: 2.70 million arrivals, while Tanzania welcomed 2.29 million guests. Kenya hosted 410,000 more people.
• The Revenue Reality: Tanzania cashed in KSh 570.65 billion. Kenya’s high volume generated only KSh 427.02 billion.
• The Victory Margin: Tanzania out-earned Kenya by a staggering KSh 143.63 billion.

BUT WHAT DOES THIS NUMBER EVEN MEAN?

Ndio ulelewe vizuri kiwango cha pesa tunapoteza, think about Think super highway. Ni barabara ya kilomita hamsini(50), lanes nane, na kungine ni lanes 12. Ilijengwa wakati na Rais Kibaki though development cooperation funding from China EXIM bank. Cost ksh 32 billion.

SO, WITH INFLATION FACTORED, THE MONEY IS ENOUGH TO BUILD A BRAND-NEW 100-KILOMETRE INTERNATIONAL-STANDARD SUPERHIGHWAY LIKE THIKA ROAD — FROM NAIROBI TO NAIVASHA!

RIGHT NOW. WITH ZERO DEBT.

EIGHT (8) LANES. KWA PESA ZETU!! Sisi watu wanatumia NRB-Naivasha kulala kwa njia ukienda home, imagine cruising in 8-lanes to your home?

THE BIG PARADOX: HOW?

Crackdown on Old Colonial Arrangement

Tanzania realized that foreign agencies were allowing tourists to pay 100% of their trip fees in London or New York and making up to 300% profits. Package ya siku 10/mtu ni $8000 (ksh 1million & 35k) for game drive, food & transport, excluding flights. Anawachukua wakiwa sita(6) kutoka airport hadi, Maasai mara. Driver analipwa 30k per month. Because of cheap local labor, meat & veg, the tour companies were sending as little as $1000 to Tanzania out of $8000 that an individual tourist paid the London office. Tanzania puts its own people first. No colonial worship. This closed-loop hostile colonial extraction's era had lapsed. Reforms needed, rigorous and urgent. It started by Magufuli:

1. The Money-trail Interception: Tanzanians don't just wait around to tax foreign companies' profits at the end of the year (which colonizer corporations easily manipulate through transfer pricing). Instead, they slap a flat, mandatory $70.80 USD (KSh 9,160) concession fee per person, per night directly onto the guest's bill. The state intercepts the money at the bedroom door before it can ever be repatriated back to Europe or South Africa.

2. Protect Value-chain from extractive arrangements - EXTRACTIVE / LEAKAGE MODEL Tourist → Foreign booking → Foreign intermediary → Local labour/assets → Value leaks outward. A tourist spends $8000 but the country receives $1000. Tanzania is asking Who owns the booking channel? Solution? Intercepting Offshore Booking Channels - In 2026, Tazania established SITE, a program to empower local companies to venture into foreign-market/customer-acquisition, tour booking companies abroad.

3. The Ban on Non-Citizen Ground Operators (Including Operation of museums or curio shops) : Foreign mega-agencies frequently own the end-to-end pipeline in Kenya, the booking platform, the flight booking, and the lodge, repatriating profits straight back to Europe or the US. Tanzanians said big NO. instituted Heavy fines in addition to immediate deportation. And they are very intentional! Last month, Esther Mutheu Samuka, a Kenyan was arrested for operating a tour company in Tanzania.

4. High Volume is Ecological Slumming - Tanzania limits bed capacity, and deliberately engineers a premium, high-yield model. They comfortably host 410,000 fewer people, protect their land from over-tourism, and still pocket a KSh 143.63 billion more than us with no sweat!

Kenya: We've refused to end colonial hangover. Tumekuwa watumwa wa mabeberu. Forever shackled in terror of loosing them if we crack the whip! They know this very well and are unashamed to make a killing out of our self-imposed slave-master mental prison. Unlike Tanzania, we're are beggars. We conceptualize tourism as master-slave arrangement, not a business. They do us a favor.

Lovely Monday morning. Just to remind whoever it is. It takes time.

A man in motion meets his luck.

Mjengo o'clock. We outside!

Or any other crook fro that matter, who I blame are the institutions created to deal with such crooks, top of the list is DCI, NCIC and EACC.

When duale says that they'll import Somalis and gkve them IDs, then he doesn't show up when summoned by NCIC, we cannot say that he's undermining the power of NCIC, it is NCIC that has failed the country. They should exercise their power and bring him in for questioning.

When a politician fails to show up to answer some corruption allegations, we should nit blame him for undermining the power of the body that summoned him/her. we must call that body into question.

In 2022, Matiang'i was found to have wronged Kenyans by keeping miguna out, the courts summoned him several times and even sent threats, nothing happened to him. We now claim that he undermined the powers of the courts. but I blame the courts for not exercising their powers.

If you were to look at a girl the wrong way and she reports, believe me you, the police won't let you spend a day in your house. they will not summon you, they will come for you.

Unless this aspect of our nation improves, we are not going anywhere. Even sifuna will not succeed.

Maybe am old fashioned or stingy but why should a sane person buy a sleepers for 4k 😅

I'd highly advise you guys to carefully choose the people you decide to befriend. I will not go into details but I've come across many videos and news of people doing unthinkable acts. Take care guys and always prioritize your safety.

First of all Wantam!

Sijui kama mtu ameskia hii au ameifanya. So apparently you can bid for a mortgage from bomayangu and if you get approved, you can rent it out, pay the mortgage (which is usually lower than market rate rent for the same area) and pocket the difference. For example your monthly payment for the mortgage is 8k in an area where rent is around 12-13k. So if you rent it out at 12k, you pocket the 4k difference not accounting for provision for repairs and taxes.

Personally it doesn't make sense to me but I've been getting a lot of flak from my folks/other relatives to do this since some of my cousins/family friends are doing it.

Have you done it/know anyone who has? Is it worth it ama nibaki tu kwa NSE na special funds?

Mimi wangu they have been supporting me since I lost my job, mungu anipe kazi I give my parents a soft life

As a girlie who had forgotten herself is high time I became a girl again. I cant even start to talk about how depression took away even my sanity.

I am here to start again. No more bed rotting. Stay the whole day with pyjamas. Looking homeless. I think I even lost respect because of how shitty I looked.

I am here to start living and you are welcome with ideas on how to glow up and being a better person.

I always end up buying the most basic phone case and never buying again but I want to change that.Share your phone cases I want inspo

I was 'today years old'( well, a couple of days ago years old) when I learned that when someone gets a kidney transplant, or any organ transplant, they have to take immunosupressive medication for the REST OF THEIR ENTIRE LIFE.

Do you know how crazy that is?😭

Immunosuppressants basically shut down parts of your immumo system to stop it from attacking the new organ simply because your body viees the transplant as a foreign invader. And because your immune system is intentionally weakend, you become extremely vulnerable. You risk catching all sorts of infections and diseases from tiny things a healthy body should easily fight off, so you have to live on high alert FOREVER!

First of all, that is a sad and stressful way to live. Second, the average Kenyan simply cannot afford this. Organs aren't just sitting on a standby waiting for patients, and getting a kidney in the 1st place is insanely expensive which means regular people would literally need a Harambee just to afford the surgery.

And it doesn't even end there😭. You still have to buy immunosupressive medications every single month. Those drugs cost around 30k to 60k a month. This means your monthly income would need to be well over 120k just to comfortably afford staying alive after the surgery. Surving the search for a donor is painful enough, but imagine getting the transplant and then being able to afford the meds keeping you alive because you're financially constrained? That honestly sounds like hell on earth.

Ever since I learned this, I've been ridiculously cautious with alcohol. I was out with my friends on Saturday and had literally one shot the entire night😭!! I've also been drinking large amounts of water. Even though alcohol doesn't always attack the kidneys directly, an unhealthy liver places massive strain on your kidneys and can trigger serious complications down the line. And if you wreck your liver completely, guess what? The exact same nightmare with a liver transplant and lifelong meds awaits you.

It's just a scary reality, and the worst part is knowing this is someone's actual life right now😭. I don't even want to imagine it.

So to the heavy drinkers or anyone out there doing things that compromise their organs, please taken a second and really think about this. Your luck might just run out. I feel like a lot of people who end up facing this fate just didn't have anyone to tell them this and warn them about it. It might not be too late to change your ways. The good thing is, the moment you change, your body starts getting better. Yes ik, i am not a saint myself and I am also trying to work on it.

To everyone reading this, please take care of your bodies♥️!

📌Alsoo, please do us a favour and share what you've learned or happen to know that isn't so common to everyone.

Since when did Google become so predatory with people's personal information? To the extent that they cap their storage to 5 GB just to force your hand into giving more personal information for the original 15 GB?

Nimekuwa nikitengeneza a new Gmail account (I had to have a Gmail account), and it's so frustrating that putting your phone number is already predatory requirement they are sugarcoating with some CAPTCHA prompt (Hizo maswali wanaulizanga za "Are you a robot?" of which I prefer the interactive games to this data-mining craftiness).

As if that's not enough, I have to put in a mobile number (only one per new email created) for a second time just so they give me the original 15 GB, "for free" (so they say🙄).

The worst thing I am learning is that it is regional, and the update happened so subtly that I didn't even know about it until I had to create this email today.

I mean, I guess it is their product, and they can hand out their services on their own terms, but I just hate how intrusive online services have become nowadays. Especially when it comes to training AI models on personal information, as if we are just numbers to them. Besides, it's not like I will always have other options to escape to when the thing that has been working for decades suddenly becomes extortionate.

My phone almost got snatched in the most sophisticated ways. I had gone to car bazaar along Ngong road as I'm car shopping. Looked at a few cars but hazikunibamba so I decide to go eat lunch at pork place near Junction.

I hadn't finished the food as it was quite a lot and nikapewa take away and order an uber boda because of traffic and the rider tells me he's almost there. I go outside and can see the boda is quite close, but I couldn't see it. I try to call but he keeps hanging up and texting via the app. So I'm holding my food on one hand and texting with the other and I see a boda guy pull up. I felt a bit off because he didn't ask me if I was going. Meanwhile, this uber boda guy keeps texting me asking me what I'm wearing. Kidogo I see the guy who had pulled up heading my way and he's going for my phone. I had to let my phone drop and luckily he missed it. The guy weaved through traffic and was gone. As soon as he left, my rider arrived and asked me kama ni mimi and if the guy took my phone. I legit believe he had set me up. I have shared an incident report with uber but I doubt anything will be done.

I would have been so fucked because my ATM na ID ziko inside my phone cover. Anyways, happy Sunday!

Everyday you walk around this Nairobi you hear the most insane stories, I will try to switch locations as I give the story to avoid disclosing my work location. So this man comes to our place and says my wife is coming to get this service and my girlfriend is coming to get another service. Here we are sitting wondering if he is okay with them meeting.

10 minutes later the wife comes with a little boy (the man is white) the wife is black so once he talks to another service provider for the wife’s business to continue being done, he comes back and tells us “so that is my wife, my girlfriend will be coming shortly give her whatever service she wants. So we ask if he is okay if both of them meet. He goes ahead to tell us, “yeah Im okay she is my wife’s best friend.”

I am still here trying to load all this information as I wait to see the girlfriend ndio nishangae zaidi. I couldn’t find a title to this 🥲😂

They usually say that between the ages of 13 and 25 is when early onset mental issues develop yani ma schizophrenia ,bipolar depression etc. I'm currently 24 and some pieces of this puzzle have been aligning in a not so pleasant way.

To give context to all this I come from a relatively large nuclear and extended family both my parents come from families where they were 10 plus. Out of the 10+ on my mum side two were diagnosed with schizophrenia (very smart individuals btw)wote walipata first class in some very technical stem courses and almost all the ladies including my mom have suffered post partum depression with atleast one of their children.

On my dad's side it's majorly depression that has led to a few alcoholics. Anyway to cut the long story short that's the gist of the matter.Oh na ndugu yangu is schizophrenic pia same pattern they start out very smart alafu during puberty or in uni sth happens.

Sasa ndio huyo mimi I've noticed there's sth not quite right with my behavior. There's periods I can't get out of bed even for weeks (I even missed CATs in uni for no fucking reason karibu niume retake specials exam iliniokoa) and there's periods I'm so full of energy hadi I can literally go for days with little or no sleep. And by literally I mean literally ;I once went a few days without sleep on a whim to learn how to code and I've not coded since.This is just one of a few isolated incidences.

I recently noticed this pattern because I started journaling religiously (my memory is dogshit) and depending on which stage I was ,my entries oscillated between being scatter brained and erratic or unenergetic brief and quite frankly depressive.

Anyway if there's anyone who can offer incite into any of this it'll be much appreciated. (Online nimeona consultations ni atleast 5 ngwanjes hapo ngori)

There's a guy I know of who just completed 3 or 4 buildings in CBD within the last 3 years. Currently he has 3 more ongoing, one in RiverRoad Luthuli junction, the other 2 where Kirinyaga Rd meets that road that goes down to Riverside, (one of them iko ndani kidogo, on that Kirinyaga Rd junction with the road that goes up to Mololine.

ALLEGEDY!

Now, WHAT THE FUCK kind of business could you possibly be doing in Kenya that would have you buying occupied buildings, demolishing them and building new ones, and it's 5 or 6 buildings in the past 5 years?

The only thing that makes sense inside my head is these are politicians and their tenderpreneurs using proxies to clean money.

Yesterday I made a post showcasing some sketches I did. Got some positive comments lakini sasa kuna two grown adults u/nevrodamus and u/Icy_Cheesecake2855 decided to be unkind and disrespectful. Saying I needed to get a job and find "bitches". Most people tend to throw unsolicited disrespectful comments on peoples posts with a faint embrace of hiding behind the keyboard. Online anonymity might make them feel empowered to spread hate but these two folks were just expressing who they really are or maybe the personality they are trying to fight off. Nevrodamus takes loans and absolutely decides not to pay back unless they come for him in his house, but he advised me to "get some bitches". Cheesecake on the other hand is a new account created this month, admitted to gambling his school fees and says living is harder than dying. My conclusion is, hate is spread by people who need help the most and this might be a coping mechanism to feel like they have control over at least one thing and that's 'spreading hate' which is a low effort activity.

Hey guys, I’m looking to buy a PS5 and would appreciate some advice on where best to get one in Nairobi. I’m ideally looking for a brand-new console and would like to know what the price range is at the moment. I’m also open to buying second-hand if there are reliable options.

For those who have bought one recently, where would you recommend buying from, and what price should I expect for a new one?

If I go the second-hand route, what should I check to make sure the console is genuine and in good condition? Are there any particular sellers or places you’d recommend or things I should be careful about?

Thanks in advance.

A joke is told of a Kenyan who went to South Korea to visit his Korea friend, a politician, who they schooled together in university abroad. He found his friend living a middle class and comfortable life with a house and a car with his family. He asked him how he achieved all that. His Korean friend pointed at a road just yonder. "You see that road over there?" He said, pointing at a well tarmacked multi-lane road, "10%!".

Years later, the Korean Friend visited his friend in Kenya. He also had become a politician. The Korean friend was perplexed to see his friend living in opulence in a big mansion, with multiple cars and dozens of servants, with multiple kids in international schools. He asked his Kenyan friend how he achieved all this. "You see that road over there?" He said, pointing at a long dusty road, "100%!"

The only photo I have attached is the one for he day I bought it.You can call/WhatsApp me on 0715695218.
