THE FAKE NAIROBI LIFE
It takes a lot of courage to be poor, unemployed in Nairobi. To have no good clothes, no good shoes, no money to party in a place where everyone pretends to be rich and accomplished..
and that's the root of all evil. THE FAKE NAIROBI LIFE
It takes a lot of courage to tell people where you truly stay, in a city where everyone pretends to stay in Kilimani, Karen, Runda...
and that's the root of all evil

understand your career path.
1. The most paying jobs are not permanent jobs.
2. Most paying jobs are dynamic and require constant skill and competence upgrading Understand your career path
3. If you stay in private sector, same position same desk for 5yrs and above, you are next on the firing list.
4. Overstaying in a role makes you more expensive. Same tasks can be done by Juniors at lower cost

I know you want a good job, to pay well if possible assign you a personal driver. So I will tell you how to get there.
Take that shit job. Where a Chinese or Indian calls you idiot every morning.
That's the only way up the ladder Everyone you admire has gone through that shit. Even politicians, try to find out where they started to mobilize support, when even spouse siblings did not believe them. You have to take the tough route. Even being a thief is not easy

The reason to why you can't compete jackma and Bill Gates here in Africa is that you started on a wrong footing and there are so many forces against more than they are for you. Everyone comes to Africa with motivational talks, they think we are not motivated enough, others think we don't have good business ideas, or maybe we are dumb

A LETTER TO KENYAN GRADUATES Whether you got first class, second class, pass,..
Whether you studied law, software engineering, production, chemical, actuarial, education,... There are no jobs The first thing you need to do as a graduate is to separate yourself from that sense of entitlement, that thinking that you deserve the best because you worked hard in school.
Life out here is different

RESIST BEING BITTER IN LIFE
The difference between bitter people and the rest is not always that life has been fair to the rest and bad on you alone. Other people have learned to handle life situations better. HOW DOES ONE BECOME BITTER?
1. The difference between expectations and reality leads to disappointment, constant disappointment leads to resentment towards oneself and others hence bitterness

The reason to why we can't develop as a country, we have reduced politics to pettiness and comedy. Most of our politicians spend much time talking more than doing because they have realized we are are excited by mere talk

Relationships too follow the hierarchy of needs theory. Maybe it is true women want money from men. Could it be that most are at level zero.... Need for food and clothing? One can only think of a higher need once they satisfy a basic need. It will be hard to impress someone just because you are good looking or good character, if their basic need food is not met

Let me start by what branding is not
1. Printing nice coloured things videos fliers, nice logo, T-shirts is not branding 2. Branding starts with naming your business, choosing an easy one, a name that gives more meaning about what you sell, a name that resonates with the target customers

When I was still young, I thought government had a solution to poverty, I gave up.
When I joined NGO, I thought NGOs had solutions to poverty, I gave up Today I believe the solution to poverty is in inclusive business modeling, making the poor to be part of the value chains as producers and not consumers

Who is an EMPOWERED WOMAN?
the term women empowerment has taken different shapes. Those who don't fight are seen not empowered I don't mean women should cry babies in the society. An assertive woman can gain much control in leadership than aggressive one.

As a parent, you will realize, not all kids have the ENDURANCE and RESILIENCE. From my experience, a degree is not just a degree, people are wired differently I have seen people study a given field, but Excel in a different field an even become CEOs. Don't let your kid do any course if they don't have the RESILIENCE AND ENDURANCE

let's stop this gender war.
Both men and women have committed crimes against humanity
Some did it in secret, others in the open I am worried that human beings have lost humanity, they can no longer show love, care and compassion
I am not worried about which gender is losing or gaining

HOW TO TELL YOU ARE TRIBAL
I have heard people ask what tribalism is. Below is how you tell if you are tribal or your friend or colleague is tribal. It's based on simple body language and talk 1. When someone gives you one name, you ask for the second name. Immediately, you either smile ☺ or 😔
That's an indicator that you are tribal
