Casual Nepo babies

Sometimes this life, no balance. Shagz we have a name for wealth, "útonga". It amazes me how some families can create such substantial wealth, that it cuts across generations. Unapata these nepo babies hawana uchungu ya kulelewa na shida. They are comfortable in who they are and you see this in the way they carry themselves.

They take risks with the guarantee that it works out and even if it does not they can try again. Instead of joining the Rat Race, they are made CTOs or vice CEOs in their parents ventures and are given a hefty mothly salary. They work for a couple of hours and then proceed to do what they want, while you are out there sending cvs to anyone and everyone.

Another thing, they mind their business and keep it in their circles. Their families have created wealth systems that are self-sustaining. These guys will never tell you the source of their wealth, but you will know they are loaded.

Sometimes I envy nepo babies. No rat race, No unnecessary struggles, Solid Connections, peace of mind and working wealth systems.

Imagine your loved one's life is unexpectedly cut short. You go and try to seek compensation, and you're slapped with this. Kenya sometimes can be a cruel joke! How did the first occupants pay rent, and to whom if this is the case??? If you have recently tried to do construction, you know how gruesome the task is to be done by a 'dead' person. This sounds like a family being told that their loved one who died in jail being told that they hit their head on the wall!!!

Discussion Kenyans Vote For The Leader of Opposition

1 Upvotes

Hii itapita wengi. When Kenyans play fantasy football on election day, the first position they fill is the GOALKEEPER.

On election day in Kenya, Kenyans do not go to vote for a president. They go to vote for an opposition leader. Kenyans have always loved and valued the leader of opposition more than the president. This is something Sifuna needs to understand as the general election comes up next year.

Kenyans are emotionally drawn to the person who can fight government. When they feel you have integrity, ethics and rule of law, they make sure you become the leader of opposition by voting for someone else. They get attached to the fight and the rebel in you so they put you in a position where you will fight and rebel. Like Raila, Kenyans will give Sifuna the leader of opposition in 2027 because they love him and they are emotionally connected to him and they trust him to fight government more than they trust Ruto to fight government.

Kenyans did not go to the election to vote for Uhuru, they went to the election to make sure that Raila Odinga is the leader of opposition.

Kenyans did not vote for Kibaki and let Kibaki steal the election, Kenyans were just making sure that Raila Odinga is the opposition leader.

Kenyans don't trust government so they value the leader of opposition more than the presidency. They want someone they can trust to keep the government in check. They want someone who will fight for them and speak up against the government. This person is more valuable to Kenyans than the president. Kenyans will go out of their way to make sure that the person they love and trust the most is in the opposition.

For Sifuna to be president, he must avoid being loved. He must make sure that Ruto is loved more than he is.

Kenyan's vote emotionally. Then, after elections are over, they protest logically after voting. They put their full weight behind the leader of opposition so that they can protest.

Kenyans are not looking to change Ruto in 2027, they are looking to install the next Raila. Sifuna is the next Raila. Kenyans love Sifuna and they know he can be trusted to stand up for Kenyans and defend the constitution. This is why Kenyans will give Sifuna the privilege of being leader of opposition in 2027. Ruto is making Sifuna the next Raila. "Yule jamaa hana agenda. Yule fala. Yule hana mpango." Ruto is making sure Kenyans love Sifuna and trust Sifuna. At the ballot, Kenyans will put logic aside and pick a president and more importantly, they will pick Sifuna as their leader of opposition. That is the position Kenyan's have always valued.

Once again...when Kenyans play fantasy football on election day, the first position they fill is the GOALKEEPER SIFUNA. Hizo position zingine they will auto fill without caring.

Kenyans will joke with all elective positions BUT they will not joke with the leader of opposition role. Hiyo hawata bahatisha.

Food for thought.

Syntax!

Casual Proud of Myself

15 Upvotes

So I want to sleep but before, I want to say I am so proud of myself. How far I have come and how far I am going to go. Last year a time like this, my mental health was in the pits and I couldn't help but come and rant here about everything I was going through (for those that remember the series of Baba without manners).

Fast forward to the present, I am not depressed anymore, well shida hazikosi here and there but I am finally at a mental space where I have minimal crash out. I am well emotionally regulated, I have managed to have a calm nervous system.

I am genuinely happy, siko where I want, but siko penye I was last year crushing out. I finally understand who I am and I am quite impressed with how having clarity has changed me.

I finally started my side hustle, for the longest time I wanted to have a lady cloth boutique, I just woke up one day, bought stocks and started selling and surprisingly, I have managed to sell here and there. Now I am focused on selling online. I believe one day I will have my own business which will be extremely flourishing.

Side note(support my business girlies, I have puff jackets and also hike friendly jackets that can fit a size 8-14). I am no longer triggered by my baby daddy 😂😂😂. I am no longer alot of things I was one year ago and I am so happy.

Also, I lost alot of my baby weight and I have reached my 75kgs mark. I aim to be at least 70kgs by December. Through and through, I am thankful for being okay, for facing any difficulty that comes my way without it being a reason to crash out.

To any mum freshly post partum and wondering if itakua sawa, take it from me who became okay two years later, itakua sawa. Sio kila mtu husnap back immediately, but with time, the spark comes.

Cheers guys, I love you (😂😂😂Acha iwaskume siku tatu).

Ask r/Kenya An Invite.

Greetings,

I want to extend an invite to 3 or 5 Reddit aunties and uncles available on 3rd November for my boys graduation. Its usually the 2 or us and our nanny and I see how he craves for that feeling of having aunties and uncles show up for him.I felt a bit hurt during the week when he kept talking of how his classmates received success cards with gift and money and the only ones he got was just us two in the house. I brought them home to him, it never even occurred to me to send in school so his classmates think he got none and thats on me. He starts his grade 6 exams tomorrow and I wish him well.

If available or can make time to join us that day for his graduation it will be a great honour for me and I could honestly use the company too. It will happen around Kasarani on Thika rd.

I thought I should post ealier so guys check there availability.

NB: I didn’t post the school name and location because I thought it is not wise. So I'll share via DM upon request.

Thank you.

Just like I said a few weeks ago, the media and prophets of doom were spreading unnecessary panic on social media comparing this years rains to 1997. The IOD is a weak positive meaning there won't be widespread destructive floods. Our rainy season is more influenced by the Indian Ocean as compared to the Pacific. In 2019 we had a very strong IOD and the rains were heavier than 2015 El Nino.

I said this on X and a certain clique of people were almost swallowing me alive. Here is the post to my previous post.

Ask r/Kenya MERCY MASIKA MASTERCLASS

0 Upvotes

Why TF are women against their own when it comes to topics 'traditional?'

Hasn't the girl child been adequately empowered such that in big 2026, most women are very much capable to choose what to and what not to do?

If becoming a wife is insufferable, as some of you say (LOL), why not go for another masterclass that isn't about that which you proudly hate?

Are some women shocked that there actually exist other women who desire marriage and family-making more than they desire plush-independent-'fulfilling' office jobs?

This has been eye opening considering the vocal responses from the public on whether women even desire marriage, biblical or not, and if that's the case, won't men equally not desire the same since we're learning the hatred our spouses-to-be harbor for long-term commitment?

Equality is nonsense, IMO, in every relationship, there has to be a leader and a follower, not a partner as some of y'all love to canvas it, and I sure as Hell know no woman desires to be a leader in a marriage, so why not learn what you can from those willing to speak up and are in it and tailor your own desired path without this notion of bashing that which you feel doesn't resonate with your modern 'standards'?

It's becoming more apparent these women desire marriage on their own terms but lack the urge to actually be a wife.

Discussion On Mercy Masika's "Becoming a Wife" Event

6 Upvotes

I have been seeing the backlash Mercy is facing for this event, and I dont think its deserved.

Dont get me wrong, I think the thing is a scam just like any other self improvement / life coach seminas or events, especially at 30k. However, I dont think anger directed towards her makes sense.

Its a voluntary event.. no one has to go. It may not be your cup of tea but it is some one else's. Additionally, most Christian marriages usually have pre marriage counselling for the bride and the groom. If you view it from this lens, it counts more like a group counselling for women about to get married.

Ive also seen people asking why no male equivalent exists. First, Mercy is a woman, it only makes sense for her to cover the women side of things. Second, it's a demand and supply type thing. Lastly, there ARE a lot of groups and seminars where men go to learn to be good fathers and husbands in churches.

Anyway, I am not her PR manager. Feel free to carry the vitriol you want against her.

Ask r/Kenya Your daily reminder that sex work is NOT EMPOWERING!!

Thumbnail

22 Upvotes

I'm from watching my second BBC Africa documentary on sex work. These women are talking about how men use their bodies for pleasure,the rampant sexual abuse in the industry,the stealthing(kutoa condom mid sex),the physical harm done to their bodies...all for the benefit and pleasure of lustful men .

If it's being done for money and there are no other options, that's one thing. The sex workers should be legally protected. But people,like those rich kids,who are doing it out of pure choice and say that it "empowers" them...I have a bone to pick with you.

I'm so tired of (some) feminists who say that "sex work is work" and "OnlyFans and porn acting should be normalized". Alafu when you criticize it they say it's because of "purity culture" or "Christianity" e.t.c...ummm no. Unaji-objectify and it's dehumanizing. And you're also contributing to porn addictions that enable men to see women as objects.

Shame on anyone who normalizes prostitution. At the end of the day you can do I cause it's your body.But don't tell people, especially vulnerable young women,venye it's "empowering"...for people to masturbate over your videos every night

(F*ck surrogacy for the same reason. Eww)

Edit: Enyewe reading is a skill.T.L.D.R. om what I said:

(1)Sex workers are still human and deserve to be treated with utmost respect and dignity. They also deserve the protection of the law.

(2) My beef is with 2 groups;those who normalize sex work and say it's empowering;the sex work industry that profits off of vulnerable people cause of their addictions(that's dominated by men not women btw)

(3)If someone is doing sex work out of poverty,that's not free will. It's coercion out of desperation and we should have better ways of lifting people out of poverty than selling your body

(4) Regardless of why it's being done, saying that it's "empowering" is a lie. No it's not. Nothing empowering about some high school teacher c*ming to your videos every night. Sema you did it out of desperation ama you had a kid to raise. Empowerment is a copium fuelled lie

(5)Enda subs zote za feminism. Utaona everything I've said if not more.

(6) Surrogacy is relevant here cause it's just as bad as sex work in that it commodifies your womb and highly disproportionately targets vulnerable low income women

(7) For everyone saying: you can't judge sex work if you don't do it,I can judge a vice even if I don't do it,like I judge drunk driving despite not having a car

(8) Would you be okay if your daughter/son sucked dick for cash?

It pains me to see such comments honestly, it makes me feel so bad of how lost we are as a gender, i know nimeingiza mambo ya gender because i’ve never once seen a man be soo insecure with his skin as the way us women are🥹🥹and it breaks my heart kwann hatujipendi jinsi tulivyo? Yaani she sees kwamba the only way she would be deserving to receive such a gift is only by changing her skin colour🥹🥹

I’m a lightskin woman and i honestly love a dark complexion, i daily admire when i see a black woman with her natural hair i love it, so when i see such comments concerning their skin it truly breaks my heart and i wish for the ones that usually feel such an insecurity they’d see themselves through my eyes

Politics Sifuna will bring no change to Kenya really. He's just like the rest. But I cannot gamble the country's future by voting for Ruto to finish us completely. I'll be voting for Sifuna as the strongest opposition candidate just to reboot the system.

65 Upvotes

Ruto is destroying this country through excessive corruption, greed, misuse of public resources, over taxation. Selling off the country to foreign interests for personal profit.

I'd rather have an inept Sifuna regime to stop the haemorrhage than have a lame duck president finish us off. We cannot vote against interests of the country. If Kalonzo or anybody else were a stronger candidate than Ruto, I'd support them.

In my thinking, a fresh face, a fresh government, even a somewhat flawed one, is still a 10x better option than Ruto.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a very common group of more than 100 related viruses. It spreads mainly through direct skin to skin contact, most often during vaginal, anal, or oral sex, and it can be passed even when the infected person has no signs or symptoms. Men play an important role in transmission.

Most men who carry HPV have no symptoms and are never tested, because there is no routine screening test for men, so they can pass the virus to their partners without knowing it. Having multiple sexual partners, or a partner who has had many, raises the risk of infection and spread. Uncircumcised men may carry the virus more easily, and men can also develop HPV related conditions themselves, such as genital warts and cancers of the penis, anus, and throat. Condoms reduce the risk but do not fully prevent transmission, because the virus can infect areas they do not cover. Less commonly, it can spread through close genital contact without penetration, and a mother can pass it to her baby during childbirth, rarely causing warts in the baby's throat.

Most infections cause no symptoms and clear on their own within one to two years, but some types persist. Low risk types can cause genital warts, while high risk types, especially HPV 16 and 18, can cause cell changes that may lead to cancer of the cervix over many years. They are also linked to cancers of the anus, vulva, vagina, penis, and throat. Because early changes often cause no symptoms, regular cervical screening, such as a Pap smear or HPV test, is important for detecting problems early.

The HPV vaccine protects against the most harmful types and works best when given before exposure, usually between ages 9 and 14, though it can benefit older people too. Vaccinating boys as well as girls helps cut transmission and protects men from HPV related disease. Together, vaccination, screening, and safer sex practices greatly reduce the risk of HPV related disease.
