@goodhe4rted I now understand why the Mozambiqan president was in Kenya to discuss " investment and security " cooperation. He was looking for troops.

EU cuts funding for Rwanda’s military in Mozambique. After years of backing Kigali’s deployment against jihadists in Cabo Delgado, the €20 million support package will not be renewed. Rwanda’s “regional hero” image just hit a roadblock Brussels says no more money, no more free rides. How long can Rwanda keep sending troops abroad while depending on foreign cash?

@VividProwess @mkainerugaba Why are you participating in his absurdities?

🇺🇬🇮🇱 BREAKING: Uganda's military chief said today that it wouldn't take Uganda's military more than two weeks to capture Tehran, and that if Israel needs their help, they will come. "We stand with Israel because we are Christians." Thank you, @mkainerugaba 🙏

@Moha001_Onyango What sort of an inferiority complex are you suffering from? Ati Kigali Rwanda.

Traffic lights in Kisumu are working flawlessly and what’s even more impressive is the discipline on the roads. Motorists are stopping, pedestrians are crossing with ease and even boda bodas are following the rules. It’s the kind of moment that makes you pause and take it in, because it’s not what we’re used to. For a brief second, I genuinely felt like I was in Kigali, Rwanda.

@dr_dash250 Why does it bother you? It's not your country, is it?

China and USA playing in Congo like it has no leader 😅😅😅 Having an incompetent President like Felix Tshisekedi might be a nightmare. Luckily my President is PK♥️

@LawrenceRugwiro @ReutersAfrica Kenya has done it successfully since 1963. It only needs good brains. China remains america's biggest trading partner.

Tshisekedi is playing with fire by pitting two global superpowers against each other in the DRC. In the end, it’s the Congolese people who will pay the heaviest price.“Ndovu wawili wakisongana, ziumiazo ni nyika”; When two elephants fight, it is the grass (or reeds) that are hurt.

Democratic Republic of Congo and China have signed a deal to deepen cooperation in the African nation's mining sector, Congo's government said, as global powers jockey for influence in the strategically important minerals powerhouse. reuters.com/world/africa/c…

I feel that this plant was better placed to be in a place like Turkana, which has the same water resources, but a bigger land mass and a much lower population density.

There was no way Raila was going to become the president at the end of the process. As people were fighting to bring down the government, the last question a particular clique wanted to be asked was who was going to take over. The hidden hand was Rigathi Gachagua. The protests were about the Finance Bill until they morphed into something else in between. That is why Ademba will be a saint until he says that he doesn't agree with Rigathi Gachagua.

@zilevandamme The G7 as a force of influence ended a while back. A body that excludes China is no longer an economic force.

I’m starting to think some of you aren’t aware that South Africa isn’t a G7 nation. G20, South Africa is a member of the G20. G7 is Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom & the US. G7 & G20 invite other countries as observers, not members.

You may exclude South Africa from the G7, but the truth is that the body is practically dead. The world shifted from a US-EU hegemony some time back. It is now a multipolar world.

This nonsense about UPDF and FARDC fighting an imaginary ADF should stop. UPDF is part of the fabric that works to destabilise DRC. This inferiority complex among Congolese people should end. How badly battered is your self-esteem that someone bullies you and loots your wealth, and you are there praising them. This Stockholm Syndrome needs to be treated. Didn't the M23 enter DRC territory at Bunagana from Uganda?

North Kivu Governor Gen. Evariste Kakule Somo urges calm as Rwandan forces reportedly withdraw from southern Lubero a move tied to the Washington peace deal. Meanwhile, the Congolese army, backed by Uganda’s UPDF, continues operations against the ADF. If Rwanda can pull back, why is Uganda still deep in Congo? ⚠️

@ArthurFour4 @PaulKagame These people are simply tired of listening to his weather-beaten tales. He has nothing new to offer and is now resorting to bullying.

President @PaulKagame lost his head after his audience appeared dormant and sleepy. 🤣

@mkainerugaba You bear the worst form of an inferiority complex. Kenya has the highest level of cooperation with Israel but you will never see a kenyan leader prostrating himself to them this way. I can imagine what theythink about you.

An old picture. A beautiful IDF soldier trying to teach me how to shoot guns. This was 17 years ago. Of course, I ended up teaching her how its done. God bless Uganda and Israel.

@nziokamul1 You must be a believer in the Tartarian theory

A lot of you walk around Nairobi city oblivious to the ancient architecture dotting the city. And those of you who spot it, regularly and wrongly credit the colonizers for it. They found it here, argue with trees.

@Bossyator Cut off your primitive bullshit. Raphael has owned large tracts if labd in Karen from the late 1980s

Raphael Tuju's story is a Movie. During Jubilee days, Raphael was living in a rented property owned by a mzungu in Karen, suddenly when they fell out with those who were in power with him, he heard that someone wanted to buy the property from mzungu and at that time he did have money. The other person had the money. Tuju then decided to approach EADB Bank for a quick loan to buy the property himself. The idea he had at the time was to buy the property then develop it by building housing units and sell to recover money to pay back the loan. The Bank promised to give Tuju money in 2 phases; Ksh932M to buy the property and a further Ksh270M to develop housing units on the said land in Karen (later claimed it was Ksh290M). EADB Bank paid Ksh932M directly to the seller(mzungu) but failed to disburse Ksh270M for Tuju to develop houses. Those who wanted the property had already gone ahead of Tuju and found a loophole in the loan arrangement. Tuju's agreement on Ksh270M was just verbal, no signed documents or whatsoever anywhere. The bank upon paying mzungu chose to deny Tuju the extra Ksh270M and Tuju took them to court. Remember throughout this time, The Bank has the tittle deed. Unfortunately, Tuju lost at High Court of Kenya, rushed to Supreme Court of Kenya, lost the case again. Took the case to a court in London where mzungu was residing, lost the case again and that's how EADB Bank won and decided to auction the property. The property has already been auctioned and those who wanted to buy it then have successfully purchased it through Stabex International Limited.

Ask yourself how multiparty came about, how the road to the 2010 constitution was paved or even how Karura is still a forest. Millennials sang for Moi in school uniform but it was something else after high-school. No other generation fought a more brutal regime. Ruto is Santa Claus when paired against Moi's brutality. He would send assassins to bomb your room in the hostel, go ask about a guy named Solomon Muruli.

@anthonyojee You are lying. Millennials here sang praises to Moi mandatory as school folk songs. What are you talking about buana

In the days of Moi it was very difficult to insult the president, or talk about him. You would die before you finish the insult. The days of Kibaki, insults grew but they were hidden and not printed on media. Still you would be arrested. The days of Uhuru, insults became open and live on Microphones and media. Now in the Ruto reign, any leader can receive any insult from any Kenyan on any media at any time. The future? A citizen will be calling the president “Mbwa” face to face and nothing will happen to him. It’s a progressive societal moral erosion.

Our banks make lazy profits from buying government paper and not from its core business of lending to the private sector. Their profitability benefits the owners.

@GathogoBMwangi All regimes had deaths with Kibaki Killing the most. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Moi would be abused openly. University students would take to streets so many times a year singing all manner of things about him.

@anthonyojee Directly proportional with deaths in his regime?

@goodhe4rted After which M23 will be kicked out of DRC , followed by the predictable fall out with Kagame when hw turns against them. He will have nowhere to go

Canada 🇨🇦 is reportedly moving to revoke Willy Manzi’s citizenship after it emerged he lied about being Rwandan. Now he’s said to be identifying as an M23-linked Congolese fighter. So which is it? Rwanda 🇷🇼, Congo, or Canada? At some point, the truth catches up and this confusion raises serious questions about identity and accountability.

@moneyacademyKE The NSSF should invest in KQ instead of putting up a sixtyfloor building in the CBD which nobody needs.
