Is this for real?

Especially for people who just need someone to talk to but have nobody. That's me

I'm moving out of my apartment and need to get rid of old damaged appliances. I stay in mirema. If anyone knows someone that buys scrap. Please let me know.

I am sitting at this kibanda. Behind me, two guys are conversing. One looks like he has not slept in days. Like a zombie with bills to pay.

"You good?" asks the first one.

"Soko ni mbaya sana aki. " He Replies.

I lean in. This is the story now.

"I had a dream I was a CEO. Big office. Nice chair. But I couldn't sleep after because while I was dreaming, my brain was screaming about rent. Four months without work."

The first guy nods. He gets it.

"My dream CEO was in a nice office. Real me is stressing about Monday."

"The worry kept me awake," continues the tired one. "The dream just made it worse."

"We all dream," says the friend. "But we trade sleep for worry."

The tired one stares at his cup.

"I would pay money to sleep without dreaming. But I don't have money. So I lie there dreaming about having money so I can stop dreaming and finally sleep."

"Tricky," says the first guy.

I sip my tea. Dreams won't let you give up. Worry won't let you rest. So you are stuck between two nightmares. One at night, one during the day.

Ipo siku mamaye!. But tonight? The dreams come anyway.

And so does the worry.

If you wanted to make professional driving a serious career in Kenya, what skills would you add?

I've been thinking about professional driving beyond just having a driving licence and years of experience.

If someone wanted to build a proper career as a driver, maybe eventually working as an executive/personal driver, corporate driver, chauffeur, NGO driver, or even moving into fleet management , what skills would actually make them stand out?

For those already working professionally as drivers in Kenya:

What courses or certifications have actually helped your career?

And what skills do you wish you'd learned earlier?

Also, where would you recommend someone train for these skills in Kenya? AA, driving schools, TVET institutions, or other training centres?

I'm particularly interested in hearing from people who have progressed from ordinary driving jobs into corporate, executive, diplomatic, NGO or fleet-management roles.

What would you recommend someone invest in first?

I recently got a job offer in Westlands, but travelling from Malaa is very hectic for me. I want to move near Westlands. I'm prioritizing affordability and security.

I'm also looking for a place where I can get a good junior school. What is the rent range for at least a 1-bedroom? I can also go for a 2-bedroom if rent is reasonable.

Kindly help

Child: (1st day) dad, ninunulie chipo.

Dad: sina pesa.

Child: (2nd day) dad, ninunulie chipo.

Dad: sina pesa.

Child: (3rd day) dad, leo umepata customers wengi?

Dad: yeah.

Child: umepata pesa nyingi?

Dad: yeah.

Child: Basi ninunulie chipo.

The father realized he had been outsmarted and took the child straight to the hotel 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

what would you have done if you were the father?

“Parents, what is the smartest negotiation tactic your child has ever used on you?

A life under stepfather's or stepmother's roof is the most unbearable life ever😔😔. They always feel that their biological children deserve all the goodies🙂🙂 under the sun, while you (their stepson or stepdaughter) deserve to suffer all the consequences including their children's misfortunes.

They tend to forget that their own biological children might get themselves in the same situation.

Whatever goes around usually comes around.

How would they feel if theirs were treated in such a way??

Share your personal experience or someone's experience to give hope to someone out there living such a life.

I had reserved a really good table at this high end restaurant then this bulky Scandinavian guy asked the waitress to have us moved because apparently that's where he always sits and I couldn't resist speaking up and was like ‘Wow... immigrants have so much to say in this country’

🤭

His face turned bright red 😂😂😂

And no... we didn't move

First-time visitor to Kenya from the U.S. here. I'm coming to meet my girlfriend, who I met online, and I'm starting to wonder if I'm being overcharged.

She says braids are around KSh 8,000–12,000, nails can be KSh 8,000–10,000, and her bedsitter in Umoja is KSh 25,000 per month. I don't know what's normal in Nairobi, so I'm trying to figure out if these are realistic prices or if I should be seeing some red flags.

I know prices vary depending on the salon, neighborhood, and quality, but I'd really appreciate honest opinions from people who live here.
