@sholard_mancity I bought a lunch box at Miniso then passed by Naivas and the lunchbox triggered the alarm. It was so embarrassing.

Naivas and Quickmart, there’s something strange happening at your stores that many Kenyans can relate to, but few talk about. How does someone walk into your supermarket, go straight to pick milk, pay at the cashier, and then, on the way out, the theft alarm suddenly goes off? Suddenly, everyone is looking at you. Security stops you. Your bags are searched and even humiliated. And for a moment, you’re standing there trying to prove you’re not a thief. Many Kenyans know that feeling. That confusion. That embarrassment. That anger. And what makes it worse is that in many cases, it’s not even because of anything taken from the supermarket. It could be a book bought elsewhere. Shoes bought online, e.g., at Jumia. Earphones from China Square. Yet the alarm still goes off, and you are the one left embarrassed. So what exactly are these systems detecting? And what do you want Kenyans to wear when going to your supermarkets? Because if items bought legally somewhere else can trigger your alarms, then innocent customers are being humiliated for no reason. And supermarkets have CCTV. You can verify what someone picked and paid for. So why is the first response to search and embarrass the customer instead of checking first? A lot of Kenyans have gone through this and kept quiet because it’s embarrassing. But it keeps happening. Many are traumatized to the point that they even avoid certain stores. This is not just about security. It’s about dignity. And customers deserve better.

@joeagoi @N__Josephs A country's foundation lies with the rule of law because it keeps leaders accountable and ensures there's no abuse of power. That's exactly what this country is lacking.

@N__Josephs Man, Maraga is shallow. Other than the rule of law and democracy, he has nothing else to offer. He lacks imagination, to say the least. Okiya, for instance, is a thousand times better. Not even close.

Sifuna is being realistic. You want to kick Ruto out? Make alliances, but give the steering to the right person. Being a realist is also knowing that Maraga(The best candidate Kenya has ever had for the top seat) can never beat Ruto in an election with Kenya's voting patterns.

@uwouma That would be amazing, thank you

I will be sharing my cold email template and make a thread about how I cold email and where I get the emails from.

In Kenya, women are the only ones who deserve to die for “wanting money” Not men, not greedy politicians milking us dry. Not rapists and or murderers, women.

@mianmianidk @kazuhachuuu @babieyiboo It happened and it's somewhat popular

@kazuhachuuu @babieyiboo Please tell me you’re joking, did this actually happen? 😭 -why would there even be a need to change the names in the first place?

there’s no need to change chinese names to western …..

The discussions that happen after a young woman is killed always annoy me. Quit the holier than thou act

Mimi ukiniona nimekublock it’s either you’re a government apologist, pedo or a rapist

@theyluvmoh @Spotify @SpotifyCares YouTube music doesn't do this. Spotify's recommendations are so bad

Dear @Spotify when I play Kenyan music on shuffle avoid adding afrobeats in my playlist please. I am tired of skipping. Please learn my preferences. Thank you sincerely. @SpotifyCares

After I posted the mchanga audited reports in 2024 , exhausted, mentally drained and almost running mad, jobless and traumatized, Mwabili shared my number here enthusiastically and Kenyans gave me a million ksh that I’ll never forget. It’s our turn now to support him 0799428109
