I really do not understand why, even today, most matatus in Mombasa are still these old Toyota shark vehicles.
Even after the government banned their importation and sale in Kenya, these matatus still seem to be everywhere in Mombasa. I am not sure if it is because they are well maintained or if there is something else we are not being told.

@Davidmotoo @gpdkaluma Huyo ni Oburu kweli ama ni Oburu wa Uganda 🤣🤣🤣

@ivymuthe something I would do. I dont know why but I would definitely do that

@ivymuthe It is a very old tactic used by landlords who wanted to quickly raise return on investment on the building

I’ve never understood why many shop owners in Nairobi CBD are so obsessed with charging goodwill. Even for the cheapest business premises you can find, they still demand goodwill of KSh 500,000 to 1 million. That’s paying a million shillings for an empty, bare room with zero stock, no repairs, and no fresh painting.

@kimathi_eng @smutoro @SafaricomPLC Networking is important, ideas are very similar out here, what you think is new someone else has been toying with it for years. Even the institution you are talking about is already existing so when you come across it don't say someone from Twitter stole your idea.

@smutoro @SafaricomPLC The problem with Kenya is that there is so much theft of intellectual property. One day I am going to open an institution where we can help people develop their ideas without being stolen

Navile Achieng vs Safaricom — Did They Steal Her Concept?
🔴 In August 2025, she pitched a Gen Z strategy called “Tujitume Na Safaricom” to @SafaricomPLC, built around the “Vichwa Ngumu” ethos and specifically promoting their S-HOOK data bundles. Safaricom then launched the “Hook’d on Fresh” campaign (with Sprite) using what she says is her exact “Wanajituma” messaging and the S-HOOK selling point she pitched. She argues the timing — proposal reviewed, then campaign launched — proves misappropriation.
🔴 Safaricom’s Defence (April 17, 2026 letter signed by Melanie Koech)
🟢 1.No agreement was ever formed — the submission was unsolicited with no NDA or confidentiality undertaking
2.“Hook’d on Fresh” is Sprite’s campaign entirely, launched February 14, 2026 — Safaricom was merely a commercial partner
3.They had pre-existing youth initiatives (Safaricom Hook, Hook Circle, Google/Gemini masterclasses dating to 2024)
4.No substantive similarity — her proposal was event-based/AI-driven community activation; the campaign is a UGC social media competition
5.They never adopted or relied on her proposal
6.“Tujitume” and similar expressions are common, non-proprietary Swahili phrases
🔴 The Hard Legal Reality
🟢 Safaricom’s position is legally strong on the key points. Under Kenyan law and general IP principles:
An unsolicited pitch with no NDA creates no confidentiality obligation
”Tujitume/Wanajituma” are everyday Swahili words — not protectable
The S-HOOK bundle angle is a product Safaricom already owned
The campaigns are structurally different — hers was a physical festival/workshop model; theirs is a social media UGC contest
🔴 The Uncomfortable Truth
🟢 Safaricom admitting to a “comprehensive internal review” of her proposal, followed months later by a campaign echoing the same youth empowerment messaging and S-HOOK focus, creates an optics problem even if it creates no legal liability. The absence of an NDA is the fatal gap in her claim — without it, the legal door is effectively closed regardless of the similarity.
🔴 The Verdict: Likely not actionable theft in the legal sense, but a textbook case of why creatives must secure NDAs or formal partnership agreements before pitching to corporates. The moral grievance may be real; the legal remedy is very thin @Safaricom_Care @PeterNdegwa_ @OleItumbi @ntvkenya @CocaCola @MoICTKenya

@rawera_jaugenya @kilundeezy We had clans (extended families) before wazungu arrived
English

@kilundeezy Family is overrated. Family members who can actually bother me are my mother & my kids.The rest I could cut off. In Africa, there’s no real family, just witches. Family is a Western idea forced on us by white men.Tell me why it would hurt your brothe or cousin when you succeed.

@RadioGenoa They have learned nothing.
If it weren't for whitey they would've gone extinct centuries ago.
But mah reparations.🙄

@KaberiaCommoner It looks good until you see all of them struggling later in life because you stretched your resources thin raising them. Good luck though.
