@kilonzoNice hiyo junction ya Uhuru highway and Kenyatta ave ilinishtua with its darkness intensity last week usiku. no lighting, no nearby buildings lit up, pitch black. and the roundabout floods. it's stressful living here

🧵 Nairobi has normalized dysfunction so deeply that we now celebrate roads simply because they exist, not because they are safe. Driving through parts of the city in the rain felt less like commuting and more like surviving an obstacle course. Waiyaki Way. Uhuru Highway. Enterprise Rd. Lunga Lunga. Jogoo Rd. Outering. Thika Road. Northern Bypass. Pitch black. No lane markings. No reflective paint. No warning signs. Barely any lighting. At some points, you genuinely cannot tell where your lane begins or ends. And yet this is a city where every litre of fuel is taxed heavily in the name of road maintenance. So where is the money going? Because it is clearly not going into safer roads. Some roundabouts along Uhuru Highway are almost invisible at night when it rains. You only notice them when you are already on top of them. The speed bumps around Northern Bypass and parts of Nairobi are another problem entirely. Poorly marked. Poorly designed. Dangerous spacing. Not traffic calming. Just vehicle damage waiting to happen. What makes this worse is that these are not remote roads. These are major roads used daily by thousands of ordinary Kenyans going to work, running businesses, or simply trying to get home alive. Road safety is not a luxury item for developed countries. Reflective paint is not a miracle technology. Street lighting is not an impossible engineering challenge. This is simply what happens when institutions stop caring because accountability disappeared long ago. Road deaths are not always “accidents.” Sometimes they are accumulated negligence. And negligence, when repeated for years, becomes policy.

@valliayuba @Farmexecutive Nigeria keeps on shocking me. They have the Atlantic ocean, but buy dried stockfish from Scandinavia. They don't really have liquid milk, they have milk powder it seems, yesterday I read sth about the importing milions of dollars worth of chips (potato issues). really odd

@Mankalela @Farmexecutive No nowww, not when we are surrounded by AI to answer that question nowww. Hearing it for the first time but had to research.

Nigeria has numerous untapped day to day needs problem,Nigeria still spend about $1 billion on egg powder import, the day DANGOTE choose to invest in this sector,someone will be choosing

@Alfayaz11 If he's past retirement, he'd be operating illegally in office; makes his position tenuous. also, he will have the same problem as the predecessor. as an outsider, he will spend a year or so just working out the internal politics, while there's a war that has disrupted revenue

I “may” be wrong about the appointment, but I must say do not judge him based on his ethnicity, the guy is a professional.

@odanga_r umesahau The Abode, 1 and 2. 1 ishaisha, 2 inaendelea. soon the trees will give way to concrete and this place will not have that good air quality

There’s a Chinese development coming up juuuust a few metres past F2. Astra Bay. It’s supposed to house 2,000 people and 800 vehicles with a massive supermarket, etc. a) The dispossession going on here is for the books. b) The traffic that’s going to happen on LK Road, mtaitana.

@moneyacademyKE huko ndo watu wengine walipokea hundreds of millions and now it will just shut down from its high default rate. watu washaokota zao

Hustler Fund will not receive any budget in the financial year starting July 2026, down from Sh20 billion at launch. Treasury says it will now run as a revolving fund funded by loan repayments.

@mbithi last week usiku nimeingia tao via hapo GPO nikashtuka na the level of darkness there bana. Uhuru Highway/Kenyatta Ave iko na level ya giza ikanirudisha maeneo ya mashambani in the 90s.

Where do billboards get elec that street lights can’t? Nairobi?

Millenials hawaamini tunafil returns na 'wall' na wao walikuwa wanaenda cyber 😂💔

@mzee_ki milk curdled immediately sio?

Kumbe you cannot make lemon tea with milk, nimeona vitu mingi hii dunia!

@KenyanSays hizi video za congo kumbe ziko huku

This is how locals mine gold in West Pokot. They later resell it to companies in the area at throwaway prices.

@Kenyans what is a smart city? we need this term defined clearly. otherwise utawekewa cabro na solar lights uambiwe hiyo ni smart sana

Ruto is building a smart city in Bungoma, the only one in Kenya - Wetangula

@kipronobett_ hii ni transit unit ya UG probably.

Hii ni plate ya nini guys

@ignyharaz2 for most Kenyans, a market is on the ground level. thus it won't work as a market

The South B in Nairobi modern market progress. A 3 storey building expected to host over 1000 people. Will it work as projected or boycotted for roadside mama mboga?.

@Kibet_bull Embroidering the Coat of Arms of Kenya on personal merchandise is a violation of the National Emblems Act. it's only for official gvt places, entities, documents. kuna hatia hapo.

Itumbi, the egg wants to close down the movie sites that we’ve been using to watch movies. He says that he will close sites like Goojara, Onstream and etc. Such an idle guy

@jimNjue_ hapa tutakuwa tumefika level ya inflation noma

Coming Soon.

@TheNotoriousHRT Americans let oppressive laws to set wages at $2 for wait staff and transfer the task of paying to customers. change the laws; the employee is in a contract with the employer, not the random customer

i think this is a fair practice given that tipping culture isn't going to be solved in the next 2 months and European tourists are fucking assholes

@OrevaZSN it's not altruism that led to them accumulating billions. so that idea dies

This might sound pessimistic, but I’ve always wondered why no billionaire has single-handedly funded the halting or reversal of climate change purely for the narcissistic thrill of being able to say they literally saved humanity.

@NdindiNyoro so is this a bill to remove the levies that adversely impact fuel price? you can actually do that.

We must lower Fuel Prices to avert an Economic spiral effect. Reduce VAT, lower Fuel Levy and avail more subsidies. We have written to Parliament proposing the requisite amendments. We are African and Africa is our Business..

@bungomaduke en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aardvark

Still struggling to identify this animal. The long snout, large ears, and body shape are characteristic of pigs. I'm convinced beyond doubt it's not a pig.. the legs are long and strong.

@Kale_Nyamasio @KevMbugz hao ni kanjo na wanachukua so bila huruma. kisha unaweza jipata umetembelewa na kadhaa.wizi

@KevMbugz Ushaiona wale wanachukua Kwa watu ya trolleys za mayai tao?

Kuna hawa watu huchukua pesa kwa super metro drivers and conductors, either kwa traffic ama bus ikiingia tao. I'm very curious to know who they are na hio pesa ni ya nini
