Down a mini rabbit hole.
There's a 3.5 Billion proposed contract for carbon credits/trading between the Kenyan Government (Environment and Forestry) and a company called Suni Smart Energy for accelerated financing and planting of 15 Billion trees to reduce emissions.

🧵 Thread
So I went to check who Suni Smart Energy is and what they do. Surprise, there doesn't seem to be any single thing on their website. Strange.

Juzi, a lady collapsed on the road.
Epileptic seizure. Was taken to a hospital by a good samaritan. The facility is run by the 'Indian/Hindu' community.
When she regained consciousness, they asked her to stay for the night free of charge for observation. She refused. Note. She had a note in her pocket that had an emergency contact person. Tried calling. Person was mteja.
Still, she refused to stay for observation.
The doctor said. Okay. No problem.
We can't have you against your wish.
However, let us fill your prescription.

Life really comes at you fast. So, some time last year, after I was out of work, I go to meet a friend of mine. Known the guy for 6 years or so. Man's a fitness instructor. Proficient with martial arts. He wants to quit his job and open a dojo but has little money. I'm jobless. Undecided on what to do. But I have savings in the account. He asks me to partner. I'll invest in the business model mostly and he will bring the clientele. I mean, he has been in the industry for about 8 years. Is a personal trainer so he even has a client list.

It has been said that young people in Kenya should look for alternative sources of income. 2 years ago, I ventured into farming. Things were not so good and I needed and extra source of money. So I went to 'upcountry' and farmed. Cabbages.
What followed was hell!!
#Thread Let me start by saying that Cartels are everywhere. The common farmer will never make money from their land. It's next to impossible. The harvest was good. First, I tried selling them at the shamba, it was impossible. Watu walikuwa wana offer 5-10 shillings per head. Madness!

You know, what you eat really determines how you feel. How your body acts. Your mood. Everything. Your weight, mental and physical health included. I know. Because I have suffered.
#Thread 4 years ago, I was a normal looking guy. Mjengo was okay. I swam occasionally. Pesa ilikuwa just enough for basic needs and what not. Food was kawaida. I was healthy. Health issues were a rumour. Really. Food and a drink here and there.
