Fam. Rethink 'progress' as presented to us by 'civilization'. This type of "progress" rides on the back of pollution and great suffering. africasacountry.com/2020/12/…

I had a dog...

But one does not negate the other. Border vetting is a thing but discrimination is also a thing. Some experienced one or the other, some experienced both.

I talk about this on my podcast. There is an assumption that all young people are "digital natives" and therefore tech wizards. But the reality is different - less than 40% of young people actually interact with any tech, and far fewer have any proper skill sets.

No such money will come. The money doesn't exist. The media needs to stop reporting such things as fact. Tell us who promised the money and in exchange for what? Can their economies afford it? That's how these things should be reported.

Which Kenyans? 😭🤣

I think we east and southern Africans need to graduate from this argument. Our foreparents made it for rhetorical value, now we need to graduate to a philosophical and historically grounded argument. My dear Africans, when Europeans were saying that they discovered a lake or mountain in Africa, they didn't mean nobody had seen it before. They meant that Africans were nobodies. That's what was contained in the Papal Bulls between 1452 and 1493 on the doctrine of discovery. And it was applied to indigenous peoples of the Americas first. By the time it reached Africa, 4 centuries had passed. The Popes said that "Christians" (meaning Europeans) had the right to visit other lands, and if they found resources they wanted there, they could consider it "terra nullius" (land of nobody). That doctrine justified the evictions, massacres and enslavement of the people (the non-Christians, aka savages) already living on the land. It wasn't just about name change. The doctrine continued to be used in court judgements of settler colonies and international law up to this century, and Pope Francis only repudiated it in 2021. And when you think of it, the government of Kenya is still using that doctrine for evictions for affordable housing, mineral sites and wildlife conservancies. It's nice to make fun of absurdities in Western logic, but now let's chew the hard historical and philosophical implications. And with all due respect to Miriam Makeba, this isn't a question she should have been asked. Remember Malcolm X pointed out that it's only when it comes to black people that entertainers are expected to articulate political positions. We need to avoid confusing rhetorical rebuttals for political philosophy. We need to be careful to distinguish what is rhetorically clever and what is politically enlightening.

This story has chilled me to the core. Someone can look at you walking on the road, arrest you arbitrarily for nothing, slap a murder charge on you, just like that. Can you imagine the implications of this, long-term??? Can you see how horrific this is???

A reminder that this MF cancelled the Greenfield Airport which was only 56B, losing us 5B in cancellation costs! Reason? It was a Kibaki project, so his cartel was not involved! Now compare that to a 365B renovation by president scammer!

I love this embrace of mobile camera tech in curbing speed demons on our roads. Some motorists are clearly murderers because how can you be doing 150 on a 70kph road and 100 on a 50kph and sometimes while on the phone?

Kenyans, See how Albanians are fighting for their land While we are selling off our birthright

Two days ago, President Lukashenko warned Israel that they need to seriously evaluate their actions and the genocide they're commiting in Gaza. Yesterday, Israeli MFA called Lukashenko's comments "vile and antisemitic." Today, a bus full of Belorusian children was targeted with a Ukrainian drone....

Being expected to do 50km/h at 1am is diabolical. Its even potentially unsafe. You become an easy target for thugs/carjackers. Speed limits should be dynamic and should therefore keep changing based on the driving conditions.

Unpopular opinion, or maybe popular: Nairobi does not need more buildings.

Halafu kuna advanced blogstitutes wa kuanza na “I’m not Kasongo’s biggest fan but/ I don’t support Kasongo but” Hilarious scenes. We saw it with journos working for Uhuru then.

Every day on Kenyan roads, there's a random guy driving on pavements, overlapping, against opposing traffic and on-board there's school kids, or his family on a trip. This kids see this, realise anything is justified if you have a reason and then we blame them when they grow up!

So now that the dust has settled on Utumishi and lesbians are no longer a problem, let me ask this: How does a nation that has never taught its adults discipline through the consequences for their actions expect the same adults to instill discipline in their kids?

This is a Meru raising an alarm over the serious deforestation happening in Mt. Kenya. The Ruto administration is doing serious deforestation across the country

GM0 is a sin against humanity because we're not short on food on this planet.

Everyone there knows he's a lowlife, they just have to take care of their interests

Ukienda bash ya ma-rich kids always ask, naeza come nabeshte yangu? Otherwise utakaa solo. It is said that, if you're invited to a table to which you bring nothing to, then you're on the menu. 🤔
