It's such a tragedy that this statement has some validity in it, but what will society become if we behave this way? I get the point yes but is this the way?

The rules when living in an apartment, especially as a bachelor are always clear regarding children: 1. Always stay in the house with your door closed. 2. If the neighbors’ children greet you, just wave back and never utter a word. 3. Never allow neighbor’s children into your house. 4. Never give the neighbors’ children food whether they are starving to death or not. 5. Never give the children money, popcorns or sweets even if you meet them along the corridors. 6. If you find them stranded by the roadside and you’re driving alone in your car home, NEVER carry them. Let them find their way home on their own.

Sure but that’s most of us. We’re largely only situationally hot. We don’t all have the type of face that launches a thousand ships, and even at that not everyone would agree. But our personalities and aura and how we move in our third space boost our chances.

@jean__marie_ Hardware is more expensive and that for startups in KE where the capital can be constrained in some ways becomes an issue

@WashiraX To a certain degree he is right, but I tend to lean more on liquid assets, they tend to have a higher ROI but the risk is greater which you can afford to take during your formative years and lean to the physical assets later on for safety and stability.

I went to visit my uncle this afternoon.
But he has really bashed me.
That my clock is ticking, yet I do not own a ranch.
He wondered where I take my money, and yet I do not drink.
I kept quiet the whole time.
Then he finally dropped the line I had been waiting for.
- Jitetee sasa. What is your excuse?
I immediately pulled out my phone. Opened my investment app. And handed it to him.
Then told him:
- Uncle, what you are looking at is my portfolio of shares in great companies. Nataka ifike mita siku moja.
He listened very keenly. I thought I was finally about to receive the legendary: Congratulations my son.
Instead, he leaned back. Looked at me. Then asked.
- That's OK. But what are stocks and shares in Kikuyu?
I had never thought about it. I froze.
He told me to take my time.
Eventually, I gave up. And told him to answer his own question.
He smiled. Then said.
- Stocks and shares do not have a name in Kikuyu or any African languages.
- The colonizers invented these fancy slogans to make brokies think they are becoming wealthy by accumulating papers and numbers on screens.
- Meanwhile, they themselves are accumulating the real assets.
I asked him: What are real assets?
He replied:
- Land.
- Animals.
- Plants and foods.
- Water bodies et al
Things you can actually touch. These are the things that create wealth.
Then he concluded with a sentence that has refused to leave my head.
• Every African man must own real assets.
Is the old man right or wrong?

@WashiraX Not yet and I want to get to understand the concept before I do

KRA wants a share of dowry money.
There is a guy called Kamau.
When it was time to buy his wife, he mobilized his most monied buddies.
He put them in a WhatsApp group. The fundraising began.
Those boys were loaded. They were only 35.
By by the time they were done, they had contributed 4.5 million shillings.
Others who were not in the group wired money directly to Kamau's bank account.
The ruracio D-Day arrived.
And as always, the one and only Kikuyu ruracio anthem was tuned.
🎶 Wero... Werokamu guku kwa wa Kanini... Werokamu... 🎶
Before they could finish the song, more than 2,000 people had pulled up.
Wakaanza kutoa funjo. Then one man stood on a stool and announced they could not sit until they had given Kamau top up money to add to the dowry.
The donation book was hurriedly brought. People lined up. Cash started flowing.
By the end of the day, another 2.8 million shillings had been raised.
Kamau took the money and banked it.
Total dowry contribution sitting at his bank account: 8m shillings.
The ceremony became the talk of Gatundu South.
Kamau paid his dowry. Collected his wife. And went home peacefully.
• Lesson 1. Monied friends are good for paying dowry.
I have no clue how. But sometime later, Kamau was marked for a KRA tax audit.
KRA went straight for his bank statements. They found deposits of 8 million shillings.
Immediately, they baptized the entire amount as undeclared taxable income.
Then demanded: 30% income tax. Penalties plus interest.
Total bill: 2.5 million shillings plus.
When Kamau saw the tax bill, he went mad.
He could try to talk but words would not come out. He nearly swallowed his tongue.
When he came back to real life. He shipped a protest letter to KRA.
He explained the money was dowry contribution from his family, friends and well wishers.
- He produced WhatsApp group fundraising screenshots.
- He produced RTGS confirmations.
- He produced the donation book.
- He even produced videos of the ceremony.
Including footage of the Werokamu song.
KRA could not hear any of it. They only wanted 2.5 million.
When Kamau realized KRA was not playing, he ran to court.
He told the Tribunal:
- My lord, look. I have shown KRA where the money came from.
- I have shown KRA who contributed it.
- I have shown KRA the ceremony.
- What more do they want from me?
KRA responded.
And what they said nearly made the judges fall off their chairs.
They argued the evidence was not convincing.
Why?
• Because the 2,000 plus donors had not sworn affidavits confirming that the money they gave was a donation and not payment for goods or services.
The Tribunal looked at the matter in amusement.
Then ruled.
- Kamau had discharged his burden of proof in full.
- KRA had acted unreasonably by ignoring and disregarding the substantial evidence he provided.
- And most importantly: Income tax is a tax on income. It is not a tax on every deposit appearing in a bank account.
The Tribunal found that KRA was wrong to treat all bank deposits as taxable income without first removing proven non income items such as dowry contributions.
The tax demand was killed.
Kamau won.
KRA retreated to Times Tower. And rested.
Case closed.
• Lesson 2.
- Document everything.
- KRA will push. Push hard.

do more. send more. create more. ship more. call more. try more. fail more. learn more. more is the edge. it’s how average people produce above average results - they just refused to do the average amount. they did the amount that made people uncomfortable. the amount that made people ask if they were okay. that amount. do that amount. and then do more.
