Remember Scholah, the mama mboga who went to Obinna’s show and proudly declared that on a good day she pockets KSh 10,000 from selling managu, kunde, and other groceries? Well, the vegetable cartel later found herself in a relationship with Obinna’s co-host Dappa Man. According to reports from the Ministry of Love and Agriculture, the moment Scholah laid eyes on Omwami, her ovaries started twerking. Dappa Man on the other hand, saw an opportunity to escape the poverty line while simultaneously supplying uninterrupted high-voltage electricity to the queen of crypto vegetable wallets. However, after securing enough fame, followers, interviews, and soft-life visibility, Scholah appears to have upgraded her operating system and launched a brand new boyfriend leaving our boy seeing marudurudu. She has reportedly informed Dappa Man that he should kindly locate his lane and remain there. According to her, the relationship was merely a strategic business partnership under the Clout Acquisition Program and he should stop behaving like a shareholder demanding dividends from Wamunyoro. Our boy Dappa Man is currently applying for admission at the prestigious Great Kalahari Desert University of Science and Technology (K-DUST) School of Character Development, where he hopes to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Dust Management, Advanced Heartbreak Engineering, and Emotional Damage Studies. Meanwhile, the Simps Association of East Africa has called for an emergency meeting to discuss the incident and issue new safety guidelines juu wanawake wameúka mnomno. Our boy was used only as a temporary marketing strategy, it's now gnashing of teeth akitoa balloon kwa mapua. Ni mbaya majama. Kama kawa sisi walala hoii hatuna maoni, Letu Jicho tu.👀

Came across @DarajaAI and their African language models while building Crea (an emergency response app). That stopped me. Language is a barrier in emergencies, a wrong translation can be worse than none. So I built tafsiri. An eval pipeline that runs on @DarajaAI API as translation engine. Right now, it translates into Swahili, Yoruba, Amharic (rides on Daraja). Evaluates each output confidence (Daraja's own confidence), back-translation (asks Daraja the reverse translation) and LLM-as-judge (any frontier large language model). Not just a translation. A score you can trust. It's < 5 days old. Open source. No stats yet. Try it out! github.com/ianktoo/tafsiri

Clubs are closing down because the club business model stopped making sense to most people. Especially men .. and they are the ones buying the drinks I have never understood the value prop... Buy drinks at three times it's original price .. sit in a warehouse with other adults .. while listening to loud music. As you stare at each other ... No one ever making a move... Because everyone has come with their person... And in the off chance you do make a move. Gun shots might rent the air... Ohh .. and lest I forget. If you use their products too much you might get beaten up by the bouncers and thrown out

Carrefour Kenya just quietly added one of the most useful AI features I’ve seen in local retail. You can now simply: - Paste your shopping list - Type your shopping list - Or upload an image of your shopping list And the app automatically finds the products and suggests items to add directly to your cart. Just like that. Honestly, this is one of those examples of AI that might not make headlines but will save people real time. Because Me personally?I don't enjoy searching for: “tomatoes, milk, tissue, cooking oil, bread, detergent, yoghurt, toothpaste, onions…” one item at a time. Shopping online often feels like playing a scavenger hunt designed by someone who has never entered a supermarket. This AI removes that friction. And that’s where AI shines. Not necessarily in replacing people…but in eliminating unnecessary work. The most successful AI implementations won’t always be the flashy robots, viral videos, or futuristic demos.They’ll be the features that quietly save you: * 5 minutes * 10 clicks * 20 searches * and a little bit of your sanity. What’s interesting is that we’re increasingly seeing Kenyan businesses move from talking about AI to actually embedding it into customer experiences. That’s the real shift. The winners in the AI era may not be the companies building the biggest AI models. They may be the companies asking: “What annoying task can we remove for our customers?” Because convenience scales. And consumers quickly become addicted to things that make life easier. I suspect after using this feature once, manually searching for every item in your shopping list is going to feel a little bit like typing phone numbers from memory lmfaoo. Technology is at its best when it becomes invisible. You don’t notice the AI. You just notice that shopping got quicker. Have you tried it yet? I just added a list sent to me and BAM!

Unpopular opinion: Missionary position isn't vanilla. It's the best sex position ever: 1. You can see her face, you can make eye contact with her, you can see her smile, you can see her desire for you, and you can kiss her too. 2. The boobs are bouncing up and down while you pump her, and you can see, touch, and even suck them. 3. Her stomach imperfections are all open for you to see. Whether she has a small pouch, rolls, loose skin, tiger stripes, even a C-section scar. Vulnerability is sexy when you're exploiting it. 4. Her hands are actually free to do something useful, like rubbing your nipples, feeling your arms, digging her nails deep into your back, choking you, or even rubbing her own clit. You'll see how doggy fails on all 4 counts. The truth is doggy was invented for uglies and fats. So you can pump away without ever looking at her ugly annoying face, pancake tits, or fat gut... while you fantasize about fucking another girl. EVERY girl looks sexy in doggy, that's the thing. But missionary? Only hotties can pull it off. Hence it's GOATed.

Am I really the only guy who doesn't give a shit about a girl's body count? I care that she has genuine desire for me. I care that she's feminine, compliant, pleasant, and FUN. I literally don't care how many guys she has fucked in the past. If she's a virgin but a pain in the ass, she can go fuck herself. Also low body count is correlated strongly with sex withholding/weaponization, not to mention asexuality and gold digging tendencies. Good luck getting your frigid high-maintenance trophy wife to put out, ya egoistic narcissistic fucks.

The debate is being framed incorrectly. The issue is not the existence of CCTV cameras in school dormitory hallways. Surveillance in common areas is a standard safety measure in many boarding institutions and is often intended to enhance student security, emergency response, and accountability. Hallways are not private spaces. The fundamental question is this: Why are students sleeping in hallways in the first place? If learners are occupying corridors designed for movement and emergency evacuation, then the discussion should focus on overcrowding, inadequate infrastructure, student welfare, and compliance with minimum boarding standards. A corridor is not a dormitory. It is not a sleeping area. The presence of students sleeping there points to a deeper institutional and policy failure that cannot be obscured by arguments about cameras. Public attention should be directed toward capacity management, dormitory standards, and the conditions under which students are being accommodated. When a school reaches the point where hallways become sleeping quarters, the problem is not surveillance, it is overcrowding. That is the issue that demands answers.

@Ndonglaw043 Because they are concerned with prevention not investigation. How did having the cameras help? Why couldn't they prevent the event from happening?

So the discussion has now suddenly shifted from whether the Girls indeed committed the offence as seen in the CCTV Cameras to whether it is LAWFUL or JUSTIFIABLE to have CCTVs in the Dormitory. Wakenya nao pia ni Wakenya. The Right to Privacy now should take lead, it matters not that LIVES were LOST. Constitutional Law Thinkers, bring on your Article 24 tiered analysis.

@wanguwamajani @geriatricabound Notice what they burn. Not classes, not libraries, not dining halls or administration blocks. They burn the thing they find oppressive, the thing they don't want, the dormitory. It's the boarding they hate, not the school.

Blaming kids for burning down a school reminds me of my own childhood.Many times I would deliberately get into trouble, not because I was “bad,” but because it was the only language I had for pain I didn’t understand. It was a cry for help that nobody around me could read. Only much later, after speaking to a therapist, did I realise I had been struggling with mental health issues. So before we rush to label children as evil or irredeemable, we should ask deeper questions. What pain are they carrying? What pressures are they living under? Too many young people today are battling depression, trauma, anxiety, neglect, and emotional isolation in silence. Sometimes destructive behaviour is less about criminal intent and more like a flare shot into the night sky by a child who feels unseen.

@Mwende_Mugambi @Nyandia_G I didn't say that, my thought was that boarding schools are bad for general development. They shield people from what's happening in the real world. And honestly, I don't know how else to get admin attention

@LyleOkoth @Nyandia_G You actually aren’t serious. You can’t say that burning up the school dorm and locking people in is the only way one can show frustration

I can'e even believe what I am seeing. The kids who started the fire at Utumishi Girls started it such that their mates were locked in the dorms, they started it at the door. They intended to hurt as many and as much as possible. Like WHY Would kids do this? My God! I am so speechless and heartbroken.
