In this era of GenZ Dwanzis that are social misfits, soft skills help you rise, lead, thrive and accelerate
*Listen to understand- not to respond*
Your age mates are already planning their reply while someone else is talking.
Give full attention, maintain eye contact, nod, and paraphrase back what you heard (“So what you’re saying is…”, “ …what I hear you saying is…”, “…tell me if I understood you correctly…”).
This will show a level of maturity and create a better relationships.
*Watch your tone, master your body language*
You’ve heard of the “GenZ stare”?
Your nonverbal cues- posture, facial expressions- and tone speak louder than words.
*Avoid kizungu mingi kama Mjaluo*
Speak clearly and in a concise manner without the need to practice the use of useless big words in your head
Talk like Trump and Elon Musk- not like Professor Lumumba or Madam Maverick
*NEVER interrupt or finish sentences*
Let the other person finish their thought process
*Read How to Win Friends and Influence People*
by Dale Carnegie. You’ve heard me recommend this book before
*Improve public speaking*
=> by opening your fucking mouth and fucking speaking
There’s no magic injection that will unlock and unclench your jaws for you and make you speak
=> Cut filler words (“um/uh”) by pausing instead. You’ll never catch me using filler words.. I instead make long pauses and use natural gestures and eye contact. Obama was great at this
=> Read the room. Know your audience. Formulate every talk simply by using relatable stories over data dumps and useless university information
*Join a club*
You told me you regretted not having joined clubs while at UON
Nairobi Toastmasters Club (they meet 2nd and 4th Mondays at United Kenya Club
Other clubs like Kwanza Kenya Toastmasters and SEMA Toastmasters.
But be careful not to be dragged into group think.
Majority of your demographics bring with them traumas and psychological damages.
Do not be in a club that’s designed for trauma bonding

🇬🇭🇰🇪🇿🇦 JUST IN: Ghana. Kenya. South Africa. Turning to Nigeria's Dangote Refinery. The Middle East burns. The Strait is closed. Africa looks within.
Decades of importing finished fuel. Now the shift begins. South Africa negotiating a 12 month deal.
This is what sovereignty looks like. One barrel at a time.

Ethiopia has applied to join BRICS
Afrikan nations should join BRICS
The future is BRICS
The future is Russia, China & India.

🇹🇷🇮🇱 Erdogan on Netanyahu and the war: “Even the Israeli public, who spend every night in shelters, are now openly saying that the greatest disaster to befall them since the Holocaust is Netanyahu.”

Pakistan Navy's Operation Muhafiz-ul-Bahr (launched Mar 9) did escort two merchant vessels/oil tankers safely from near the Strait of Hormuz to Karachi amid regional tensions, securing national energy supplies. Real and confirmed by ISPR, Reuters, Dawn.
No aircraft carrier involved—Pakistan operates none (images show escort frigates). "First in world" and unique courage claims are overstated; France, UK & others run similar protective ops in the area. Prudent for Pakistan's 90% sea trade reliance.

🚨🇵🇰 BREAKING
Pakistan’s NAVY becomes the first in the world to successfully escort its carrier and other supply ships safely from the Strait of Hormuz to Pakistan, keeping all cargo including oil secure.
No other country has shown this level of courage right now.

Having multiple sexual partners does not make the vagina permanently loose, no science has proven this. That's your little prick being paranoid.
Having said that, women are generally very lazy, that's why they'd rather go for slimming pills instead of checking their diet & gyming, that's why they'd rather go for vaginal reconstruction surgery than simply doing kegal.
Anyways, nobody owes anyone a big penis and nobody owes anyone a tight vagina. Do you, and I don't mean it literally. 😁😁

Daughters of Agrippina have now called an emergency scientific conference and reached a historic resolution. It's now back to natural herbal remedies to reduce the diameter of the slippery zones. This comes after a painful discovery that those high-budget surgical upgrades to their private departments come with a small side effect.
It now emerges that, the clitoris resigns from duty and refuses to report to work after those cosmetics surgery. Sensitivity goes on strike completely, no matter what type of vibrator they use, sensitive on the glory bean is kaput.
So the ladies have gone fully traditional. These days they can be seen sitting carefully on hot charcoal made from Papayas roots like people roasting maize in Grogon, all in the name of tightening the national infrastructure. They believe that the smoke signals can tighten the grip.
This drastic step follows many years of advanced ceiling inspection experience, where some of these daughters of Agrippina gained world-class expertise in staring at roofs from different angles as they cash in. The mileage however, has now started showing on the dashboard.
Unfortunately for the daughters of Agrippina, horizontal engineers have confirmed a difficult truth: once the beacon shifts position, returning it to factory settings is harder than convincing a Nairobi landlord to reduce rent.
Dear daughter of Agrippina, sometimes it’s cheaper to control your libido & Umalaya than to start running a full mechanical repair workshop later along kilgoris lane. Stop destroying your Ikus with the hope of tightening the grip later on. There is no formula for diameter reduction scientifically.
Otherwise you’ll end up conducting charcoal seminars in the backyard while the neighbors think you’re launching a new barbecue business. Kama kawa sisi walala hoii hatuna maoni, Letu Jicho tu.👀

BREAKING: The US is "dismayed" by Israel's strikes on 30 Iranian oil depots on Saturday, sparking the first "significant disagreement" between the allies since the war began, per Axios.
Details include:
1. The strikes reportedly went "far beyond" what the US expected when Israel notified it in advance
2. "We don't think it was a good idea," a senior US official said
3. An Israeli official said the US message to Israel was "WTF"
4. "The president doesn't like the attack. He wants to save the oil. He doesn't want to burn it. And it reminds people of higher gas prices," a Trump adviser said
US gas prices are now expected to surge well above $4/gallon this month.

@MarioNawfal @grok which country makes fpv and how efficient are they in combat

🚨🇮🇷 Iran deployed FPV drones for the first time.
This is a significant escalation. FPV (first-person view) drones are the weapon that transformed Ukraine.
Iran has the industrial base to scale this. Russia has the battlefield knowledge to teach them.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Rubio just told Arab foreign ministers the U.S. is not trying to change Iran's regime. Trump told Iranians their hour of freedom is at hand. He called Reza Pahlavi's Kurdish offensive "wonderful." He said he needs to be involved in choosing the next Supreme Leader. And his Secretary of State is privately telling Arab governments the opposite. Middle_East_Spectator
