@KeruboSk @N_Kinyanjui This is a good story that resonates with many .Thanks for the shout out .

I missed my flight in Nairobi once because of traffic on Mombasa Road. Like fully missed it. I got to the airport sweaty, exhausted, dragging my suitcase like it personally betrayed me. I already knew there was no chance, but I still ran to the counter hoping for mercy. The woman checked her screen, looked at me, then said, “You were the last passenger.” I laughed a little because what else do you do at that point? Then she lowered her voice and said, “The plane is still on the ground.” Next thing I know this airport employee is SPEED WALKING me through the terminal like we’re in an action movie. Security waved me through, another worker grabbed my carry-on to help me run, and I’m apologizing to literally everyone while fighting for my life. I got to the gate completely out of breath. The guy scanning boarding passes looked at me and said, “Eh, Nairobi traffic. We understand.” People on the plane actually clapped when I walked in looking half dead. I have never respected airport workers more in my life. Big up to them.

If I had 5 years as President of Kenya, my mandate would be simple: Create 7M direct jobs. 15M indirect jobs. End corruption. Lower taxes. Make the system work for ordinary Kenyans. No speeches. Just execution. Thread 🧵.

@RaminNasibov @alykhansatchu Those guys are very rare .Did you ask him if he was ok ?

I saw a guy at coffeeshop today. No iPhone. No laptop. No tablet. Just sitting there. Drinking his coffee.

@moneyacademyKE Why not revamp the MSA one ?

Kenya and Uganda are in talks with Aliko Dangote to build a new oil refinery in Tanzania. The plan includes a pipeline from Mombasa to Tanga to process oil from the region.

African pension funds currently hold approximately $700 billion in assets, yet continues to suffer from a massive infrastructure funding gap because these funds are largely invested in "safe" government bonds rather than transformative projects. project-syndicate.org/commentary/why…

🚨 BREAKING ​Former Iranian President Ahmadinejad: ​"The world no longer accepts a single nation dictating the fate of all other countries from across the ocean." ​"The system based on the dollar and military pressure is exhausted. If Washington wants to avoid its own collapse, it must learn the meaning of the word 'respect'." ​"We are not a colony; we are a civilization thousands of years old." ​"Every attack they launch against Iranian soil accelerates the end of their influence on this side of the world."

African banks are the world's most profitable banking sector, posting a 19% return on equity in 2024 against a global average of 10%. It’s driven primarily by high interest rates, foreign exchange gains and trading income, not operational efficiency. mckinsey.com/industries/fin…

Precolonial African societies without central states weren't "primitive" failures. Instead, new research suggests avoiding centralised power was a deliberate choice to ensure liberty and equality, challenging old views on statehood #History #Africa economist.com/middle-east-an…

When you ask grok worst mistake done in history, here is what you get …. The adoption of agriculture about 12,000 years ago. Jared Diamond called it humanity's worst mistake: it ended 200,000 years of hunter-gatherer life with better health, less work, and equality, swapping them for population booms, disease, inequality, and despotism. We're still dealing with the fallout. What's yours?

@adm_mike None of those

On the rare occasion when I stay in some of our better hotels, these days I see the person who helps with the bags come with the room key and escorts me in. They don’t have to, I don’t mind lining up at the reception, but I appreciate the gesture. I have been physically to only one bank in the last 10 years and happily I queue with the other mjengo guys and carjackers. But I visited another bank twice this week and the experience has left me so angry and humiliated that I will need therapy and prayers to go back and close the account. Your boards are talking English about customer excellence while you waste so much time annoying the people who pay your salaries.

@cobbo3 🤔...what are the percentage of global essential natural resources and the demographics of human resources in Afrika... we CAN rise! But that's a loaded conversation coz it involves REAL TALK about political leadership and that is where the cookie crumbles.

Africa attracts less than 1% of global PRIVATE capital, though it has 20% of the world’s population. However, it accounts for just 3% of global GDP and 2% of trade.
