@MorobeTumi @KenyaAirways @flyethiopian Had too many experiences. We've disallowed the team from ever booking on Ethiopian

I flew with @KenyaAirways last week, and it was the WORST EXPERIENCE ever.
1. The plane was parked a gate away from where passengers were called to board. A gate away. So why use that gate then? Heaven alone knows.
And get this - we had to walk on the skybridge, outside the airport building, down the flight of stairs into the tarmac and make our trek to the aeroplane to board the plane… OUTSIDE THE AIRPORT BUILDING, AND it was raining.
Yes, raining!
So all the passengers had to WALK IN THE RAIN to board the plane.
And we then had to wait outside for the passengers ahead of us to board. So, the rest of us WAITED IN THE RAIN.
We eventually boarded, drenched!
Absolutely crazy.
2. The staff at the boarding gate were chewing gum, talking amongst themselves, and treating passengers as if they were doing us a favour.
Gum.
Loud laughing.
Rolling eyes and demanding clients.
Kuningi nje.
3. My bag was badly damaged — really badly. While the bag is expensive (no need to get into the cost or the brand), they say I should have the bag delivered to them so they can take it to “their assessor” to decide whether to replace or repair it.
By the way, the bag is so badly damaged that it can't be fixed.
I fly… A lot.
I have already boarded over 40 flights this year. Last year, I travelled to over 20 countries.
I live in airports & airlines.
I regularly have unpleasant experiences on commercial flights.
I am not a sissy. I don’t complain. You take the good with the bad.
But I can tell you this for free: this KQ experience was horrendous.
It would have been more pleasant to pour Tabasco sauce into my naked eye & then blindly stir into a lunar eclipse.
Anyway, back to your regular scheduled program.

Steve Jobs reveals why Japanese companies dominate quality without ever marketing it:
"The group of people that do not use quality in their marketing are the Japanese. You never see them using quality in their marketing"
"It's only the American companies that do. And yet if you ask people on the street which products have the best reputation for quality they will tell you the Japanese products"
"Customers don't form their opinions on quality from marketing. They form their opinions on quality from their own experience with the products or the services"

Good afternoon patriots. Here is your lunch time dose of anger laced with some touch of sobriety.
Here is a lesson in history nobody is teaching you.
In 1923 Costa Rica had a problem.
A military dictator named Federico Tinoco had borrowed money from the Royal Bank of Canada.
Not for the people but for himself.
When Tinoco was overthrown the new government said:
We are not paying that debt.
It was not borrowed for us.
It was not borrowed for Costa Rica.
It was borrowed for one man.
The bank took Costa Rica to international arbitration and lost.
Chief Justice William Taft ruled that the loans were invalid because they were not for public benefit.
And because the bank knew exactly who it was dealing with.
Now read that again slowly.
The loans were invalid because they were not for public benefit.
And the lender knew.
Now look at Kenya.
Sh7 trillion borrowed between 2014 and 2024.
Without parliamentary approval.
With funds allegedly routed to offshore accounts.
Instead of public projects.
This is exactly what @OkiyaOmtatah is arguing.
That Kenya's odious debt follows the same pattern as Costa Rica in 1923.
Borrowed by those in power.
Not for the people.
And the lenders @IMFNews knew.
The precedent exists.
The case has been won before.
One hundred years ago.
By a country smaller than Kenya.
With less resources.
But more courage.
Costa Rica said no.
Will Kenya? Stay angry and support Omtatah.

Here is a team of South Africa's brightest young mathematicians achieving the country's best ranking in 25 years, finishing 38th out of 110 countries at the International Mathematics Olympiad.
(July 2025).
One would wonder where the black folks are … I mean the indigenous black South Africans?
Apart from running the streets mimicking Shaka Zulu hunting black foreigners! Baliwa?

🇹🇿Tanzania is about to finalize one of the largest energy deals in African history.
Equinor, ExxonMobil, and Shell are meeting in Dar es Salaam this week for the final round of negotiations on a $42 billion LNG project.
The hard part is already done... Commercial terms agreed and Tax framework settled.
What's left is turning the handshake into legally binding contracts.
💡Tanzania sits on massive offshore natural gas reserves that have been waiting for development for over a decade.
This project would build the infrastructure to liquefy that gas and export it globally creating one of Africa's largest LNG export hubs.
Right now the world is desperately hunting for LNG supply outside the Gulf(Qatar mainly)
Tanzania is about to enter that market with $42 billion of committed infrastructure and 3 of the most credible operators on earth behind it.
Another node on the new energy map and one that bypasses Hormuz entirely.

@AfricaFirsts Why can’t they live on ordinary houses reflecting the reality on the ground. This is how we encourage big-man syndrome

@moneyacademyKE @nderi_j There is something about the way the fund is structured that means it will never be sustainable. It needs to be revisited
