And this is the playbook going forward. Any protest, any grievance, the response is the same. Bus in the goons, let the looting start, watch the whole thing lose credibility overnight. They tested it after the Finance Bill maandamano and saw that it works. Genuine protesters get drowned out, the cameras capture the chaos instead of the cause, and the government walks away looking like the adult in the room. Expect this every time from now on.

Happening in Nanyuki right now. The government has decided that the Ebola facility at Laikipia Airbase is going ahead, whether residents like it or not. Buses are said to have arrived last night, and the crowds out today are massive, even bigger than the Finance Bill maandamano. Nobody can tell who’s who anymore. Are these hired goons brought in to cause chaos, or genuine protesters who travelled to stand with the people of Nanyuki? Nobody knows. What we do know is that the government’s answer to citizens raising grievances has been gunfire. This is what it looks like when a state stops listening.

With respect to the MP, this isn’t how X’s creator payments actually work anymore. X stopped paying people based on ads that appear in the comments under your posts. They now only pay based on how many times your posts are seen in the main home timelines/feeds of verified (Premium) users. So government ads in the comment sections won’t put any extra money in Kenyan creators’ pockets. On top of that, if Kenya’s verification fees are low and not many people sign up, the overall payout pool stays tiny anyway.. so almost no benefit for local content creators.

Yesterday evening, Allan Chesang requested a statement on the floor of Parliament concerning X monetization. He is calling for a review of the structure and revenue-sharing formula following numerous complaints from Kenyan X users about unfair distribution of revenue compared to users in other African countries. He is also set to Call for Attention Motion in Parliament that would compel the government to channel advertising funds to X, as consumption of traditional media continues to decline. If approved, the government could begin advertising in the comment sections of verified accounts, a move expected to increase revenue earnings by up to 70%. He is also pushing for similar measures on the Facebook platform. This is an issue that X users have been advocating for a very long time, and just last week, when I met him after a while, I shared my frustrations about the issue. It is encouraging to see the matter being taken into consideration. Tafadhali, when you meet politicians out there, do not only advance your own interests, also think about the struggles of others kenyans. We also said that Daughters of Agrippina should normalize reminding this waheshimiwa to work for the people during pillow talks. Kazi isikuwe tu kuteremsha urwaro na kutuambia small girl with a big God whilst we all know the god who's responsible for the Softlife has been supplying you with high voltage electricity without an iota of blackouts. Otherwise, it seems hapa mbele X users we are going to eat good.

@JamaMSheikh @GMTiman @ntvkenya “May God shame you, disgrace You and your hereafter life. May thunder strike you and your entire generation for insulting our beloved prophet”.. Well, that won’t happen.

@GMTiman @ntvkenya May God shame you, disgrace You and your hereafter life. May thunder strike you and your entire generation for insulting our beloved prophet. Ameen.

Justice Mohamed Warsame: We should not constitutionalise the Islamic Sharia, but allow its constitutionalisation to function within the parameters of equality and fairness. Islamic law is not repugnant to justice.

@kerubo_hillary Ako Kenya

@githii Great, even better if ako based huko Wamekuja na some silly rules last week, they want to introduce paying someone based on their location views Say if you are in Kenya, most of your numbers need to come from Kenya But Elon paused it for further consideration

Nigerians are cashing out from this app well Is there a Kenyan whose ever got even $5000 payout really?

@kerubo_hillary No. Not someone popular. I’m sure most people don’t know him

@githii Wow!! Huyu labda ni Amerix😅 Ju hata Nyakundi never hit those numbers

@KhalifKairo Don’t rush into buying this if you’re new to bikes. It’s a proper race machine, not something you casually ride around on. The power is no joke. One wrong twist of the throttle and it’ll loop out from under you.

Selling my Kawasaki KX450 “F” kaiandkaro.com/vehicles/kawas…

@polo_kimanii It’s a dirt bike. Are you sure that’s what you want?

I might just fuck around and buy kairos nduthi. Then sleep hungry for 3 months

@Bookten8 Wacheni wivu x.com/elonmusk/statu…

Sahi, a post going viral with millions of impressions has no impact on your payout 😂

@rhysajlucero @_Ochiedike Then he’s not all knowing

@_Ochiedike To have free will, god couldn’t know what you will do.

If God knew before creating me that I would end up in hell, but created me anyway, then I'm just doing his will. 🤷🏽

@Scarlet_tpo @carguy_KE I have a 2.2 turbo diesel.

@githii @carguy_KE Hieghts trim in a Mazda 3 is 2l petrol

Mazda Atenza Diesel Vs a Subbie

@C_NyaKundiH @Kibet_bull But everyone steals videos Nyakundi. Even you 😆.. sharing is caring

Is there an automated way I can be watermarking my videos. Too much theft.

@polo_kimanii Kwanza vile wewe ni mrefu. Get a Tenere or something taller

I have seen so many women with a Nduthi like mine than I have seen men. I have decided that im going to sell it

@Mercy16031057 @PhineasDennis @IamBrian___ I think it’s a generational thing. We thought those brought up in Nairobi were living a better life. Our parents thought boarding schools were better. It’s the extreme opposite. I wish my kids can go to a good day high school and stay at home

@PhineasDennis @IamBrian___ @githii Me nkikumbuka I was brought up in shagz kwa own compound. gated home. Krisi mum would get best clothes for us sometimes in Nai. Shop every month kwa naivas ya karibu😂nkaenda public sch hadi class 4 ..5 nkaenda boarding met with town kids .Nkatoka na good grades

Niliona hio story ya Awinja aty you can work in Nairobi for 30 years and go back home empty handed, that's why she moved upcountry. She creates content there and she does farming. Is moving away from the city to the village a good decision?

@RingoNbi @IamBrian___ Yes. I think we have everything. I honestly don’t know what exposure my kids are lacking 😅

@IamBrian___ @githii Nanyuki is a decent town

@IamBrian___ What exposure? Tell me 🤔.

@githii But the quality of exposure to your kids ...

I didn’t even know that option existed! Personally, I wouldn’t pick a “women only” ride. I need to sit at the front with a fellow man, talk politics, ask if he’s “monitoring the situation”, and hear his background. My first question after greeting him is always, "Biashara iko aje?". I find that it opens up an avenue for so many conversations. They always have a good story to tell.

If as a lady, you aren’t feeling safe or have an issue with riding with a male driven cab, please remember the app provides you with an option to pick only rides driven by women. This option was brought to tackle issues like the ones being discussed here ✅

@NytoP2PMwangi Who is the messiah in red sweater ?

Another bodaboda incident involving a drunk lady. She had no money to pay the bodaboda rider. When the operator confronted her (together with his colleagues), she became violent. She grabbed a projectile and hit the rider. The rider decided to face her like a man, and the brawl escalated. Attempts by the guy in red to separate them did not succeed. Who is wrong between the two?
