On Rigathi Kigeugeu After being sworn in, Rigathi Gachagua told the world that the Kenya Kwanza regime found empty coffers in Kenya's treasury. And that was the truth. Now, Rigathi Gachagua is twisting his 'truthfulness' for political gains. Criticize without praising Uhuru Kenyatta - because, as you told the world bwana Rigathi Kigeugeu Gachagua, indeed, Kenya's economy was "dilapidated" to use your own words, when you took power. Kenya was not up and running when Uhuru Kenyatta left! Corruption was rampant, just as today. We have not forgotten, bwana mwanasiasa, your truthful speeches still ring in our minds. Uhuru has become an angel after you were ejected. The courts shall pronounce themselves on the law regarding your ouster. David Maraga will take over and fix your list of issues that you are raising with the current regime. ⚖️

Oh no Her body was already recovered dead. There's a trending video of a mother who fell into a flooded river in Nandi together with her son. The gumboots she was wearing tragically contributed to her death — they filled with water and pulled her down, causing her to drown. Thankfully, her son survived.May she rest in peace.

Kalenjins we need to move door to door.....Baba ya watoto side are at 91% we are at 64%. Kiambu alone registered new votes that beat 50 Kalenjin Counties. Can we stop politicking and get our people to register. I have been singing here . Our chosen Leaders are a problem they don't give our people a reason to go look at votes. Hii upuzi Nenyo meet should stop. The opulence must end. Give it to Uhuru last time he sang kumira kumira and he got numbers. Now they are not sleeping....amkeni ama mjikute opposition. Kanisa imesonga kando kiasi...Media...wako kando...this isn't time for chest thumbing. Let's make things right!!! I tell people I have advantages mingi. Narudi tu naomba masamaha Na watanisamea juu siwezi zikwa Kabiemit. Na wenye hamuwezi Rudi kuomba msamaha mtado? Think 5 years after today.....

When you get some money Think of Starting a Dairy Farm Imagine a farmer from Kanja, Runyenjes is milking 8 cows and producing 200 litres daily If he sells each litre for Kshs 50. He will make Kshs 10,000 daily That’s Kshs 300,000 per month Aweke 200k kwa Special Fund that gives atleast 25% In 5 years atakuwa na over Kshs. 20 Million When you diversify your investment You become rich very fast

QATAR and UAE BLACK TAX, If you work in Qatar, UAE or those Middle East countries, SAVE YOUR MONEY. Don't rely on relatives back home. "Your younger brother is jobless, please, he needs 400K to buy a small car for Über." Don't attempt to withdraw your money. You will cry when you return. Be selfish. Otherwise, you will send them your money, they will misuse the money then when you return broke, they will mock you and gossip. "We don't know what this loser did with his money." "He wasted on alcohol and women." "Why did he go there? What a waste!"

But kuongea ukweli, how can Ruto be so clueless? What happened to him being the political genius we always thought he was? Ama ni greed and lust for money that destroyed him? Mimi sielewi how someone can fail so terribly at his job. Ama anafikiria Kenya ni Uganda where people only care about what they will eat and nothing else huh? Like make me understand how he can be so incompetent like nothing is working under him at all. Not education, healthcare, security, food, economy.... nothing at all.

As an Igbo man, as an Easterner… have you ever lived anywhere in the East—perhaps in Aba or Onitsha—and had a Fulani person as a flatmate or even a neighbour? What of Hausa? None. Even Yoruba people are barely 1 in 10,000. The Fulani man, instead of renting a house in the East or buying land in town to build, would rather move deep into the forest to occupy people’s lands freely—putting up thatched structures with the clear intention of taking over those lands. On the contrary, Igbo people living in the North build houses and develop wherever they find themselves. We cannot say the same about the Fulani and Hausa. The Hausa prefer to sleep in mosques rather than rent houses. They contribute nothing to the system. They don’t rent shops. Instead, they push goods in wheelbarrows or erect makeshift stalls where they pay nothing. They are simply parasites. No taxes, no revenue—nothing is collected from them. Yesterday, I read a write-up by an Igbo content creator who said, “I am Igbo, but I am first Nigerian before being Igbo,” and went further to defend it. He lives in a country where people are admitted into the military based on where they come from. A country where a Northerner finds it easier to import and clear goods, while Igbo people struggle through endless obstacles—yet he chooses to be “Nigerian” before being Igbo. What exactly is Nigeria? What is Nigerian culture? Do we have a Nigerian language? I believe the biggest problem facing us as a people is ignorance—a situation where even the educated remain ignorant without realizing it. You can only be Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, and so on. Identity is not abstract—it is concrete. Your language, your culture, your food, your marriage traditions, your beliefs—these are what define you. As long as there is no unified Nigerian culture or language, it is illogical to claim you are more Nigerian than your tribe. You are first Hausa, Fulani, Yoruba, or Igbo before you became Nigerian. Your ancestors were never Nigerians. You became Nigerian because a foreigner less than 200 years ago merged different peoples into one. So, it defies common sense for anyone to say they are Nigerian before being Igbo. That position reflects a lack of historical understanding—and plain reasoning. The realization of our differences could have been our strength. But instead of confronting reality, people hide behind slogans like “unity in diversity.” We need to rediscover ourselves. We need to unite with people who share our language and culture. That is the only path to real progress. Imagine a system where the Yoruba control their region, the Igbo control theirs, and other major groups do the same—each managing their affairs independently, yet coming together to agree on cooperation while maintaining true autonomy. Do you think such a nation would not grow? But instead, we have chosen to live a lie—a giant federation where people die daily, where even Army generals fall like chickens in the hands of terrorists. And don’t misunderstand me—I am not preaching restructuring or regional government. It will not work. A typical Fulani man would rather accept division than allow true restructuring or regional autonomy. Nigeria, as it stands, serves a purpose—to enable gradual expansion into every region, to become “indigenes” everywhere, to gain control of land without resistance. True regional autonomy would destroy that Fulani agenda. That is why it will never be allowed to happen. And if it will never happen, then let everyone go their separate ways.

Reality has started to kick in. Yesterday, while speaking at a burial in Rift Valley, Ruto said in Kalenjin, “Why are our people not registering as voters? You are giving me a hard job by forcing me to seek support elsewhere while I have people back at home.” But why is the president worried that his tribesmen are not registering? There’s no need for them to register. His henchmen told them that they would stuff the votes. But honestly, where is the development in exchange for votes? He only remembers that Rift Valley exists when it’s time for elections. The president should also know that even those who turn up for registration won’t necessarily fill his voting basket,, he should be guided. After all, he doesn’t invite us to State House like other tribes to receive handouts. If things are falling apart in your own backyard, how can you expect massive support from other regions? Whether a stone falls on an egg or an egg falls on a stone, the result is the same. Whether they register or not, he is still a WANTAM president. Now that he has started addressing his people in Kalenjin, will Farouk Kiberiti call him tribal for speaking in his mother tongue?

✅ Kibaki used ksh.35B to construct an 8-lane , 42KM Thika Super Highway which transformed the economy along the 42KM stretch leading to property boom, thousands of New businessess and hundreds of factories generating Jobs for Kenyans and revenue for the government. ✅ Ruto is using ksh.45B from nebulous "investors" to build a stadium which will eventually cost Kenyans an additional ksh.75B in 15 years. Eventually, Talanta Stadium will be one of the most expensive stadiums in the world at ksh.115B. Unlike Thika Superhighway, this stadium will mostly be idle after the CAF championship and will rot away like other stadiums in Kenya due to disuse. The stadium will not create more than 100 jobs. It's a White elephant project designed to line the pockets of the Shadow investors with ksh.75B taxpayers money in the next 15 years. FACTS ARE STUBBORN.

Reports in Spain say Barcelona could play Liverpool in Nairobi, Kenya on August 8. “Once the stage is finished, the club considers two stages to continue the tour. The first would be to travel to Nairobi to face Liverpool FC on August 8, in a highly attractive match. The other option would be to play a match in Morocco on August 5 against a local team, an alternative that is also valued for its proximity.” Source: Sport Es

Let's visit MARYHILL GIRLS, Term 1 school fees is Kshs 33,610 Term 2 school fees is Kshs 19,847 Term 3 school fees is Kshs 15,097 Total per year is Kshs 68,554. Easy. Right? Let's go to EXTRA LEVIES. Extras: 1. School Motivation - Kshs 7,000 per term. That makes it Kshs 21,000 per year. For some classes it's Kshs 5,500 x 3 which is Kshs 16,500 2. Class motivation - Kshs 3,000 per term. This totals Kshs 9,000 per year. 3. Development - Kshs 20,000 per year 4. Enhancement program - Kshs 7,000 per year 5. KFC - Kshs 1000. You ask what is KFC? The parents visit the school once every term. This day the school buys KFC chicken for the girls at a cost of Kshs 1,000 per term. In a year it's Kshs 3,000. Total Extra Levies is Kshs 69,000 Total amount to keep your daughter at MARYHILL GIRLS is Kshs 69,000 + Kshs 68,554. It Totals Kshs 137,554 And here they don't joke. There is no room for negotiation. No diplomacy. As early as Term 1 on induction day, you are told utafute shule ingine mapema kama umeskia huwezani. Here, parents talk in hushed tones.

Today at around 9a.m while I was having a morning walk in Dagoreti Corner, found an old man beside the road with a 2-year old child. Approached him with other pedestrians, asked him why he was having a child despite of her age. James Odour told us that the child belongs to her daughter called Jessica. Jessica gave birth with a stranger, gave birth and disappeared to wilderness after a period of 1 year. He father James kept providing milk for the baby and all the essentials. Now, the grandpa is just washing clothes for the child, feeding the child and doing all parental..... This act should be condemned to those ladies giving their parents hard time to do past chores. Kwanza hapo kwa kutoroka. Why run away and leave your child????

If you want a cow that is not costly to feed but still gives high yields, go for this crossbreed. I bought it from a farmer during a distress sale for KSh 17,000 around seven months ago. Today, it is three months in calf. After calving, you can serve it again using AI at around three months. This means it can give you a calf every year and a consistent supply of milk. They are rarely affected by climate, can survive in most parts of Kenya, and feed less compared to pure breeds. Value for money!
