@RealMamadouGaye Try and be more open-minded on football matters.
Claiming East Africa lacks the capacity to host #AFCON2027 is misleading and undermines your credibility as a senior journalist. Kenya leads the region in road infrastructure, and regional connectivity is strong: @FlyJambojet , @KenyaAirways, Uganda Airlines and @AirTanzania all link Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania with short, frequent flights.
Before asserting it takes two days to travel between these countries, do the research — or don’t speak on a topic you haven’t checked. #SomeoneTellMamadougaye
Kenya Tanzania and Uganda time to go to war !

I’m worn out hearing people moan, “Our grandparents could buy a house on one paycheck, but now we can’t even afford rent on two!”
Yeah, maybe because Grandma wasn’t dropping half her income on $14 iced lattes and avocado toast shaped like art projects. Back then, if they wanted coffee, they boiled it at home in a dented pot. It tasted like burnt rubber and regret — but it woke you up and cleaned your pipes.
And Grandma wasn’t “out to brunch.” You think she had time for mimosas and hashtags? She was making something called whatever’s left in the fridge and feeding six people with it.
Don’t even start with Uber Eats. You think Grandpa was out here paying $38 to have a burger delivered three blocks away? Please. He grilled mystery meat on a rusted barbecue, and everyone called it dinner.
Now people cry about being broke while sitting in a house full of gadgets. Two SUVs in the driveway, six streaming services, three air fryers, and matching tattoos that cost more than their light bill. You think Grandpa had a tattoo? He did. It said “Korea, 1951,” and it came with trauma, not Instagram likes.
And the kids—Lord help us. “We can’t make ends meet, but Brayden needs the new iPhone!” No, he doesn’t. You’re handing an $1100 device to a child who still eats crayons and forgets to flush.
When we were kids, there was one phone. It hung on the wall like a family relic. The cord stretched just far enough for you to whisper secrets before someone yelled, “Get off, I need to make a call!” And guess what? We lived.
The TV? One. In the living room. With three channels and a dial that clicked like a safe. And if Dad wanted to watch bowling, you were a fan of bowling, end of story.
Now there’s a flat screen in every room, the baby’s got an iPad, the dog’s got a camera, and everyone’s wondering why they can’t afford rent.
Because you’re living like rock stars on retail salaries, that’s why.
Grandpa wasn’t leasing Teslas or buying $12 smoothies called “Green Zen Awakening.” He drove a truck that coughed smoke, rattled like a storm, and smelled like oil and hard work.
They lived within their means. Whatever Grandpa brought home on Friday — that’s what they had. They weren’t keeping up with the Joneses; they were keeping the lights on.
So yeah, Grandpa bought a house on one salary. But he also didn’t have a gym membership, three delivery apps, and emotional support crystals on his nightstand. His only support system was Grandma, who told him to quit whining and mow the yard.
Nowadays, everyone’s broke, anxious, and “manifesting abundance” while ordering tacos on DoorDash for the fourth time this week.
It’s not the economy — it’s the lifestyle.
Wake up, turn off your subscriptions, make your own coffee, and maybe—just maybe—you’ll smell the truth.

🇰🇪Kenya does not have a talent problem.
We have a support problem.
Today at 12 p.m. in Nairobi, Angela Okutoyi steps onto the court at the ITF W35 Singles, competing on home soil. One of Kenya’s brightest tennis prospects, carrying global potential with minimal backing and even less noise.
No billboards.
No brand rollouts.
Just quiet excellence.
At the same time, Pauline Shegu, a three-time Safari Rally champion, is racing against the clock, not for podiums, but for sponsorship as the WRC Safari Rally approaches.
In December, David Munyua, a full-time veterinarian, became the first Kenyan to ever play at and African to win the Paddy Power World Darts Championship, without a sponsor behind him.
Three athletes.
Three sports.
One pattern.
Kenyan athletes keep winning despite the system, not because of it.
We are very good at celebrating greatness after it becomes obvious. After medals validate it. After headlines make it safe. But history shows something else, real icons are rarely loud in the moment.
Sometimes, the icon isn’t in the past.
Sometimes, they are lining up at the starting line right now.
David. Angela. Pauline. They are not asking for sympathy. They are offering something rare, discipline built in silence, resilience sharpened locally and excellence that hasn’t been outsourced.
If your brand stands for African excellence. Belief in potential. Backing pioneers while the outcome is still uncertain, then this is your moment.
Support our athletes before the applause.
Partner with them before the documentaries.
Stand with them while it still matters.
Because legacy isn’t built by clapping late.
It is built by believing early.
