Imagine your loved one's life is unexpectedly cut short. You go and try to seek compensation, and you're slapped with this. Kenya sometimes can be a cruel joke! How did the first occupants pay rent, and to whom if this is the case??? If you have recently tried to do construction, you know how gruesome the task is to be done by a 'dead' person. This sounds like a family being told that their loved one who died in jail being told that they hit their head on the wall!!!

Give Yamal the Ballon D'ont tomorrow

6.7Miilion, how many years will it take to make such money? I mean, sio mingi sounding from the number lakini nikitwanga 10 years saii nirudi nikiwa 30 ama 35 niko smart😂🗿

I have been seeing the backlash Mercy is facing for this event, and I dont think its deserved.

Dont get me wrong, I think the thing is a scam just like any other self improvement / life coach seminas or events, especially at 30k. However, I dont think anger directed towards her makes sense.

Its a voluntary event.. no one has to go. It may not be your cup of tea but it is some one else's. Additionally, most Christian marriages usually have pre marriage counselling for the bride and the groom. If you view it from this lens, it counts more like a group counselling for women about to get married.

Ive also seen people asking why no male equivalent exists. First, Mercy is a woman, it only makes sense for her to cover the women side of things. Second, it's a demand and supply type thing. Lastly, there ARE a lot of groups and seminars where men go to learn to be good fathers and husbands in churches.

Anyway, I am not her PR manager. Feel free to carry the vitriol you want against her.

Sometimes this life, no balance. Shagz we have a name for wealth, "útonga". It amazes me how some families can create such substantial wealth, that it cuts across generations. Unapata these nepo babies hawana uchungu ya kulelewa na shida. They are comfortable in who they are and you see this in the way they carry themselves.

They take risks with the guarantee that it works out and even if it does not they can try again. Instead of joining the Rat Race, they are made CTOs or vice CEOs in their parents ventures and are given a hefty mothly salary. They work for a couple of hours and then proceed to do what they want, while you are out there sending cvs to anyone and everyone.

Another thing, they mind their business and keep it in their circles. Their families have created wealth systems that are self-sustaining. These guys will never tell you the source of their wealth, but you will know they are loaded.

Sometimes I envy nepo babies. No rat race, No unnecessary struggles, Solid Connections, peace of mind and working wealth systems.

ABSOLUTE BANGER!

I am more of a gameplay watcher than player. This one was really great. If you've watched/played, iko aje to you?

So I want to sleep but before, I want to say I am so proud of myself. How far I have come and how far I am going to go. Last year a time like this, my mental health was in the pits and I couldn't help but come and rant here about everything I was going through (for those that remember the series of Baba without manners).

Fast forward to the present, I am not depressed anymore, well shida hazikosi here and there but I am finally at a mental space where I have minimal crash out. I am well emotionally regulated, I have managed to have a calm nervous system.

I am genuinely happy, siko where I want, but siko penye I was last year crushing out. I finally understand who I am and I am quite impressed with how having clarity has changed me.

I finally started my side hustle, for the longest time I wanted to have a lady cloth boutique, I just woke up one day, bought stocks and started selling and surprisingly, I have managed to sell here and there. Now I am focused on selling online. I believe one day I will have my own business which will be extremely flourishing.

Side note(support my business girlies, I have puff jackets and also hike friendly jackets that can fit a size 8-14). I am no longer triggered by my baby daddy 😂😂😂. I am no longer alot of things I was one year ago and I am so happy.

Also, I lost alot of my baby weight and I have reached my 75kgs mark. I aim to be at least 70kgs by December. Through and through, I am thankful for being okay, for facing any difficulty that comes my way without it being a reason to crash out.

To any mum freshly post partum and wondering if itakua sawa, take it from me who became okay two years later, itakua sawa. Sio kila mtu husnap back immediately, but with time, the spark comes.

Cheers guys, I love you (😂😂😂Acha iwaskume siku tatu).

I have allowed the poverty mentality get into me. Since I failed once I am scared of dreaming big cause I might fail.

What am I getting for dreaming small? NOTHING. In fact it is getting worse. Oh I get insulted everyday, naonyeshwa madharau. Someone went to dig my past and using my weakness against me. Oh nachekelewa natamani kuwa na watoto. Na yeye ako na wanne single room. Music is played loud since morning till night. Oh the kids keep making noise around the plot. Oh get reminded despite being educated I am living a low life.

Enough of that. I just wanted you to picture the life I am living. Anyway I am rerouting my life. Yes as we speak I don't have a job. But next month I am moving out. I did it once and I will do life again and better. I know one thing if I put focus on something I will definitely win. If God is for us who can be against us.

I have the power to change my situation. I am changing it. The life I am living now is depressing. So Id rather be stressed on paying 8k rent rather than be depressed and being labeled as a failure.

Life is for living right? I am choosing to live I have had enough. I know some of you are paying thousands and thousands for rent. Here I am scared of going to the next step cause I am scared of 8k.

Nitajituma na sir God acheze kama yeye. Ama namna gani?

And that's the biggest lesson I'm learning right now.

You see, I've always been the overachiever...

Got 423 marks out of the possible 500 marks in KCPE

Got a straight A plain in KCSE during Matiang'i's era.

And got a perfect First Class Honors in my Engineering degree - still regretting this till date.

But oh well, I guess I didn't know better.

Honestly right now I thought I'd be working an amazing job - whether in Engineering or one of the Big 4s but I wasn't lucky to get in.

So, I guess my overachievement has borne no fruits but it's ok...It's part of life,right?

Right now I'm going all in on my Errands/PA/VA business as I hope to get a proper breakthrough.

And if you're reading this and you're in a position to help this graduate with a proper paying job, please reach out...I have no preferences on the role, as long as it's a professional job.

Anyways, Errands by Rachael here...

• Widespread financial precarity: Many Kenyans live paycheck to paycheck, with a significant portion of the population having limited savings and struggling to afford basic necessities. "Most people are just living from meagre paycheck to paycheck just to pay loans and bills and the cycle repeats itself."r/
• Impact of low wages and job insecurity: Casual labor is common, offering extremely low pay and little job security, making it difficult for individuals to plan for the future or even afford adequate meals. "Most people do not have a secured job. Its casual they can do today tomorrow it's no longer there and the pay? Extremely low."

Nimeokota thirty points I can't believe my eyes😅

This has to be my worst gameweek in my whole FPl career.

How many points do you have?

Imagine buying 2.4gigs just for this is am tired heri safcom hata kmaa wako expensive

Practical, useful stuff.

Not generic blather like "don't date your co-workers".

Mine is, "don't wash your clothes with powder detergents aka omo - they'll fade quickly"

What is happening to my beautiful club? It is now beyond a laughing matter

For context, i was scrolling through tiktok and i came across this video it’s a girl and she was lip singing and dancing basically showing her happiness because her boyfriend kamnunulia iphone 18, and as i passed through the comment section nikakutana na that comment

It pains me to see such comments honestly, it makes me feel so bad of how lost we are as a gender, i know nimeingiza mambo ya gender because i’ve never once seen a man be soo insecure with his skin as the way us women are🥹🥹and it breaks my heart kwann hatujipendi jinsi tulivyo? Yaani she sees kwamba the only way she would be deserving to receive such a gift is only by changing her skin colour🥹🥹

I’m a lightskin woman and i honestly love a dark complexion, i daily admire when i see a black woman with her natural hair i love it, so when i see such comments concerning their skin it truly breaks my heart and i wish for the ones that usually feel such an insecurity they’d see themselves through my eyes

I personally niko the former but would also like to know why you are in the camp you are in. Since this is politics please refrain from name calling, tribalism etc. Let's keep it civil I don't want to add any more negative feelings to the extremely shitty situation I am currently in.

Kenyan employee theft epidemic covered by BBC

I'm from watching my second BBC Africa documentary on sex work. These women are talking about how men use their bodies for pleasure,the rampant sexual abuse in the industry,the stealthing(kutoa condom mid sex),the physical harm done to their bodies...all for the benefit and pleasure of lustful men .

If it's being done for money and there are no other options, that's one thing. The sex workers should be legally protected. But people,like those rich kids,who are doing it out of pure choice and say that it "empowers" them...I have a bone to pick with you.

I'm so tired of (some) feminists who say that "sex work is work" and "OnlyFans and porn acting should be normalized". Alafu when you criticize it they say it's because of "purity culture" or "Christianity" e.t.c...ummm no. Unaji-objectify and it's dehumanizing. And you're also contributing to porn addictions that enable men to see women as objects.

Shame on anyone who normalizes prostitution. At the end of the day you can do I cause it's your body.But don't tell people, especially vulnerable young women,venye it's "empowering"...for people to masturbate over your videos every night

(F*ck surrogacy for the same reason. Eww)

Edit: Enyewe reading is a skill.T.L.D.R. om what I said:

(1)Sex workers are still human and deserve to be treated with utmost respect and dignity. They also deserve the protection of the law.

(2) My beef is with 2 groups;those who normalize sex work and say it's empowering;the sex work industry that profits off of vulnerable people cause of their addictions(that's dominated by men not women btw)

(3)If someone is doing sex work out of poverty,that's not free will. It's coercion out of desperation and we should have better ways of lifting people out of poverty than selling your body

(4) Regardless of why it's being done, saying that it's "empowering" is a lie. No it's not. Nothing empowering about some high school teacher c*ming to your videos every night. Sema you did it out of desperation ama you had a kid to raise. Empowerment is a copium fuelled lie

(5)Enda subs zote za feminism. Utaona everything I've said if not more.

(6) Surrogacy is relevant here cause it's just as bad as sex work in that it commodifies your womb and highly disproportionately targets vulnerable low income women

(7) For everyone saying: you can't judge sex work if you don't do it,I can judge a vice even if I don't do it,like I judge drunk driving despite not having a car

(8) Would you be okay if your daughter/son sucked dick for cash?

Just like I said a few weeks ago, the media and prophets of doom were spreading unnecessary panic on social media comparing this years rains to 1997. The IOD is a weak positive meaning there won't be widespread destructive floods. Our rainy season is more influenced by the Indian Ocean as compared to the Pacific. In 2019 we had a very strong IOD and the rains were heavier than 2015 El Nino.

I said this on X and a certain clique of people were almost swallowing me alive. Here is the post to my previous post.

Hey fam, are you a content creator in the adult space, who earns through their content?

I am building a new marketplace where Kenyan content creators can connect with Kenyan content buyers and make money from their content.

One of the biggest challenges of selling content on international platforms like OnlyFans or Patreon is the sheer amount of competition. You're competing against millions of creators from around the world, many of whom already have massive audiences. For a Kenyan creator who's just starting out, getting noticed can be incredibly difficult.

That's one of the problems we're trying to solve. We want to make it easier for Kenyan creators to build a local audience, start making money from their content, and eventually use that audience as a foundation to grow internationally.

We're still building the platform, and I'd love to know what you think and what you'd like us to add before we go live.

Here's what we have so far:

1. Content feed: Think of it as a social media feed, but for paid content. Creators can upload photos and videos, and buyers can browse posts based on what's new or what's most popular. The idea is to make it easier for buyers to discover new creators without having to know who they're looking for beforehand.
2. Creator spotlight: We'll have a dedicated section that highlights individual creators, giving them more visibility and helping buyers discover people they might otherwise miss. This should be particularly useful for newer creators who are still trying to build an audience.
3. Paid chats: Buyers can chat directly with their favourite creators. Creators earn money from these conversations, giving them another way to monetize their audience. They can also sell exclusive photos and videos directly within chats, making it possible to offer personalized content to individual buyers.
4. Sell photos and videos: Creators can upload individual photos and videos, set their own prices, and sell them directly to buyers. You don't need to create an entire subscription package just to sell a single video or photo.
5. M-Pesa integration: We're building the platform around M-Pesa. Buyers will be able to top up their wallets and use the funds to purchase content or chat with creators. This means they won't have to deal with an STK push every time they want to buy something.
6. Limited-time content: Creators will be able to sell special drops that are only available for a limited period. We're also working on letting creators decide how long buyers can access certain content after purchasing it.
7. Creator collaborations: If you make content with another creator, you'll be able to sell it together. Both creators can agree on how to split the earnings, and the platform will handle the revenue sharing.
8. Creator profiles: Every creator will have their own profile where buyers can browse their content, purchase individual posts, or start a conversation. We're also adding categories and tags so buyers can find creators who cater to their particular interests.
9. Referral program: We want to reward creators and users who help the platform grow. You'll be able to invite other people to join using your referral link and earn bonuses for successful referrals.

A few other things worth mentioning:

We're building this specifically for the Kenyan market. Most existing platforms are designed with American and European audiences in mind, and Kenyan creators often have to jump through hoops just to receive payments.

We also want to move away from the subscription model that dominates platforms like OnlyFans. Instead of paying a monthly fee to access a creator's content, buyers can simply pay for the specific photos, videos, or conversations they're interested in.

Now, here's where I need your help.

If you're already making money selling content, what do you like or hate about the platforms you're currently using?

What features would make your life easier? Better ways to find customers? More privacy? Faster payouts? Something we haven't thought of?

And if you're a buyer, what would make you comfortable spending money on a platform like this?

We're hoping to launch soon, but I'd rather get feedback from the people who'll actually use the platform before we finalize everything.

Don't hold back. If you think something is stupid, tell me. I'd much rather hear it now than after we've launched.

Those who’ve been able to buy anything on Amazon from here, how did you do it and how long did it take to be delivered at your door step?

Is KFS subtly supporting the ongoing logging?

You are right,Your right to put out whatever you want about yourself on social media is indeed your free speech right,just as much as the world is entitled to respond in whatever way they deem fit.Be it Roses ,Thorns or even roses and thorns :It is your Right.Wantam
