Eeehhh this academy thing is a bit intense if I must say! 8am training on a Saturday..... Like, huh? Anyway, Mino Raiola better be hitting me up in 7-10 years coz this is my GameStop stock.... Image
Also this child must be at the academy 15mins before time because he doesn't like to be rushed or late!!! He woke me up at 6:30am saying...."But, you..... you are slow!" Eeehh! Are we sure this one is my child, really?
Lastly, his football idol is Kevin De Bruyne. I mean, come on! What level of taste does this child have? First you support Man City, in MY HOME? Then you say KDB??? (I don't hate KDB but jeeeez! Man Utd has 100s of options)

I honestly have major doubts! I need DNA test coz....
I am now a football agent and pro player manager..... So where on LinkedIn should I add that? In the experience, society and activities or certificate and licences?

In 2020, Kenyan startups raised combined total of US$191,381,000 (Kshs 21+ Billion). That was 27.3% of the continent’s total investment. It was the largest amount of funding ever achieved by a single African country.
@DisruptAfrica

This sooo HUGE! Let me explain why. A thread
Kenya is a small country by population with only around 53M people. Kenya is 7th in Africa, we are 3rd in East Africa, after Ethiopia and Tanzania. Accounting for 0.69 % of the world population. Ohh, and only 28 % live in the urban areas. So, mostly a rural majority populace.
According to Africa Infrastructure Development Index (2018) Kenya was ranked position 18 in Africa. The index looks at i) electricity; (ii)transport; (iii) ICT; and (iv) water and sanitation. All these are critical resources in growing a robust ecosystem. Image

I don't think we give Supa Strikas the respect and hype it really deserves! It is hands down the most innovative, best sports comic and animated series television series of our generation. You know why? Let's break it down, shall we? A thread.
Supa Strikas is a pan-African(NOTE that) association football-themed comic. It was founded by Andrew Smith, Oliver Power, Lee Hartman and Alex Kramer then produced in Malaysia by Animasia Studio, and Strika Entertainment originally in South Africa, 1st published in 2000 in SA.
By 2002 it was published in Namibia, Botswana, Zambia. Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. I remember in Kenya we used to think it was about Harambee stars. It used to be a magazine inserted in the weekend newspaper. That was a very strategic and innovative move. Why you ask?

Safaricom has the potential of becoming the largest African Ecommerce platform. Here is a tip to Safaricom for FREE: Use Safaricom shops as distribution centres and MPesa Agents as last mile delivery/pickup points for clients. You have the value chain and infrastructure already
Safaricom (or any telcom really) already has the infrastructure, the network, the agents, the payment gateway, the market share and mots importantly THE TRUST of the clients. Get localised merchants and wing it in the ecommerce space.
There are a few interesting models like:
