@MichaelxKirwa @kisengemeshack1 Probably true. Capacity before renovation and seat installation used to be 25k max. The most sold tickets at Nyayo in 2011 was 23k, adding another 10% in losses and crew. Guys buy Derby tickets more than any other match because of FOMO and the stricter entry protocols in place.

@kisengemeshack1 Read that number backwards.

AFC Leopards have announced that a total of 20,336 tickets were sold during yesterday’s Mashemeji Derby at the Nyayo Stadium. Leopards lost 1-0 to their bitter rivals, Gor Mahia.

The longer football ticket prices stay low the longer the game stays in its "low level, low value" chokehold. We transitioned general ticket prices from 100 to 200 in 2010 and it's crazy it's still the price today 16 years later, major loss of value has happened in that time

@Theo_mwangi That OneApp debacle should power up anyone trying to build Mpesa alternatives or completely new products to dig in. The time is finally here, Mpesa is long broken we are now starting to see and feel it on the user side and it's only going to get worse

Local stablecoins are growing fast, and will keep doing that. nTZS in Tanzania, cNGN in Nigeria, ZARP and ZARAC in RSA Can the existence of M-PESA as a digital shilling hinder the adoption of a KES based stablecoin e.g KESm?

Power resides where history decides it resides

Niggas don't forget a single good thing you did to them. You buy a nigga food and he's willing to take over the government with you lmao

@haofuwei Probably not, optimize on what's working... urban areas, connectivity and go deep down in STEAM infrastructure. They don't think they need it now but they will so just make sure it's ready when they eventually get there

@Nkaari For any African country right now with median age being 19 it will work to just build things

Turns out you can just build and they will come

I wish to sincerely thank everyone who made the recent distribution of farmers’ inputs through merchants a success. In the past, distribution through open grounds and schools often created unnecessary chaos. Farmers would travel long distances only to find long queues, pushing and confusion. Women and the elderly suffered the most. Some went home without help despite the county spending heavily. The system was loud, dramatic and political, but not always effective. This time we tried something different: using local merchants and a simple digital verification system. The result was calmer, faster and far more inclusive. Almost every registered farmer was able to access fertiliser, certified maize seeds and pesticides near their homes, with dignity and order. I thank all the merchants who served farmers patiently and safeguarded the inputs. Your integrity and long hours made the difference. My appreciation also goes to the IT team that powered the verification system—especially Meshack, our Head of IT, and James, the system developer—whose expertise ensured the system worked smoothly. I also thank the Agriculture team led by CEC Mugo. Special recognition goes to Dr. Appolo, the Chief Officer, whose dedication and constant coordination kept the entire exercise on track. We are grateful as well to the transporters and their drivers who moved the inputs across the county and worked long hours to ensure every ward was supplied. The philosophy behind this success is simple. When systems follow science, logic and organization, they work better. By relying on merchants—the everyday engines of trade—and supporting them with technology, the county was able to serve farmers more efficiently. This is not the Governor’s win. In truth, many leaders prefer the drama and spectacle of chaotic distributions. This success belongs to teamwork, professionalism and the quiet power of a system guided by reason rather than politics. Above all, it is a victory for the farmers of Murang’a.

@mbakayamilimu Would have been a Japanese if they were clever

Tusker are set to appoint a Mzungu coach a big shift in their history. Welcome to FIFA cases zone brewers. #FootballKE

If it wasn't for this Demand, I suspect Kinoru would still be closed like Kirigiti. I also think it's gotten to this state because none of the current users demand anything.

In 2022 fighting for the stadium to be opened for sports, we had scheduled a @MeruBombers match here by force but got locked out while Johnnie Walker had a scheduled Ruger concert the next weekend. Went to court, stadium was opened before case was heard. It's been downhill since

Kenyan football will kill you literally or otherwise. Teya is a victim of the low level framework the game is. They tried to kill him at a stadium & succeeded online. It's an impossible muck to launch from. It's just a matter of time but they eventually get you #FoootballKe

Kenyan football is a low level, low value affair that's fatal at least five times a year. The only way to change is to see a few officials and goons charged with Manslaughter every time this happens

@m_ogada @dwjagero @YouTube A great use of my time...

For those who couldn't make it to the official launch of the insurgency. Thanks again to @dwjagero for partnering with us on this. Viva la revolucion!✊ The Dark Money Behind Climate Change In Africa Ft. Mordecai Ogada youtu.be/bc0eKnWnrMk?si… via @YouTube

Kenyan football is a low level, low value affair. It's impossible to build a business in or on top of it. It's only possible as a charity. Simply put, if you can't currently buy yourself a brand new Range Rover every year just for kicks, forget about it

@harrykaranja Have you tried NotebookLLM, your sources and prompts only. Great intern, sober AF

I just got gaslit by a legal researcher who told me I was "questioning reality." I spent the last hour arguing about the 60-day rule in the #SmallClaimsCourt. This researcher was incredibly confident. They cited specific paragraph numbers from Crown Beverages. They lectured me on the differences between Justice Gichohi's and Justice Majanja’s approaches. When I pointed out they were wrong, they didn't back down. They doubled down. They told me my reading of the case was a hallucination and quoted a text that didn't exist. Even though I know these cases, I had to pull the eKLR link to prove them wrong. I eventually won the argument. But the scariest part isn't that they were wrong. It's that this "researcher" is being used by thousands of lawyers, magistrates, and judges right now, and they don't even have a law degree. In fact, they don't even have a pulse, because this legal researcher was an AI chatbot. Pretty much every lawyer and judicial officer with an internet connection uses AI chatbots because when they work, they're great. They save tonnes of hours in research, illuminate perspectives you might not have readily considered, and can even help structure arguments persuasively. But, heed this warning: if you're using an AI chatbot for research, treat it like a brilliant but drunk intern. They are super confident, can create facts, and hallucinate when cornered. I think I can confidently say that human legal researcher jobs are safe, for now.

Pictures that go hard, Tanzania 🇹🇿

It's because of newcomers chasing opportunity, not residents downgrading. The problem is the resident workforce doesn't see a reason to upgrade lifestyle even with better income

Hair and fat. Our girl needs to step up. AI is lurking at your fingertips

Like much of life, politics does not reward intelligence. It rewards motion, often dumb, occasionally malicious, but always rewarded. Those who think too long are left behind by those who merely do. This is something kids who were smart in school learn too late as adults
