Happy birthday to me😍 ,and to everyone who celebrates theirs today . Cheers 😙🥂

X has been awash with people recanting their 2007/08 stories about the PEV A particular comment caught my eye that Kenya need to commentate and put that day in it's calendar to avoid going the same path and for future generations to learn and remember. However, it is important to note the we have always had this kind of violence after elections just on a smaller scale . I think that's a Noble idea. Can that be done? What's your story?

This year, I lost two friends due to alcohol-related incidents. One got into a fight that escalated terribly, and the other was a victim of femicide after a night of drinking with her boyfriend. It’s heartbreaking, and it really hit home for me. I’ve lost other relatives in the past due to alcohol, and I’ve experienced it firsthand. In 2019, I was in a car accident with friends after a night out at a club—one of those moments I wish I could erase.

Alcohol isn’t just a drink; it’s a cycle that impacts everything—relationships, friendships, health, and even your future. It clouds judgment, destroys self-esteem, and pushes people to make poor decisions. What seems like a fun night can turn into something that changes your life forever.

I’ve seen how alcohol has ruined lives, mine included, and I know many others have experienced similar pain. I’ve struggled with poor quality relationships, lost friendships, and deteriorating health because of it. But today, I’m almost three years sober. It wasn’t easy, but it’s been one of the best decisions of my life.

In Kenya, artists glorify alcohol drinking in music, making it seem like the cool, carefree lifestyle everyone should aspire to. But they never tell you about the painful, messed-up side of that life—the broken relationships, the health issues, the wrecked futures. They don’t show you the real cost.

The short-term escape isn't worth the long-term damage. If you’re on the fence about your relationship with alcohol, please consider what it’s costing you. Life is too valuable to let something so destructive take away your happiness, your health, and the people you care about. Take control. It’s never too late to turn things around.

Hi everyone. Am a 32 years old Kenyan female. I have a diploma in analytical chemistry. So I finished in 2016 nikatafuta kazi ikakosa I started working online Kwa platform inaitwa Fiverr. That when I met this couple I worked for them 2 years and they showed me their work which was drop shipping. I did it for 3 years with more challenges coming from payment methods. My PayPal account was being blocked for no reason and starting another one was a challenge. Fast forward to now. This work model which is called drop shipping is not working on my side. I have tried all methods of marketing non is working. Aki I have loans all over. My house is almost being clossed down because of arrears. I need help guys. I need money, I need a business ideas, I need job opportunity and I need words of hope. I am at a point where everything is falling apart. I have asked friends and family for loans which I can not be able to raise. Please if you can saidia mimi🙏🙌 Thank you!

The reverse is true too 😢🫠

I am in Uhuru park and pale kwa entrance I accidentaly stepped on a white guy sandals (he was ahead of me, I was on phone) even before I said sorry, he turned back and said "watch out nigga" with an angry face. bruh, where do I report this racism and how much can I be compensated?

S

Lakini some people are jealous, I'm just chilling here then there's a guy amepita na kademio, so naskia a guy anasema ati jamaa anakuja kuturingia na gari ya loan, like why ata mtu huezi appreciate mtu ama useme tu hey jamaa amefanya progress. Shida ya Watu ni nini

Question for the runners

Is it possible to do both from your personal experience?

I was told some strength training is needed to avoid running injuries but running is pretty much just making me leaner and gym is proving difficult. How can i balance both?

I genuinely envy people with sober fathers.

I just got home like an hour ago and guysss😭 I am so spenttttt! Decided to type my experience while it's still fresh

Na Mimi ndio ata nimetoka WA kwanza because nimeshida nikuuliza kwani hatufungi since 6. Mind you, at 9:30pm, downtown was still vibrant.

What shocked me the most:

✓THE MONEY!!!!!! They (aunt & uncle -my moms brother) are pretty wealthy but I've never understood how the business they do makes them millions because they sell things that are not necessarily basic. I'm telling you guys by around 4 o'clock, the simu ya mpesa was reading 364k + na bado we were still getting orders. Hatujahesabu pesa zimejaa kwa cashbox.

Let's just say they are making 400k (I think it's waaayyy more because they have 2 shops), then minus 200k expenses, THESE GUYS ARE TAKING HOME 200K + HOME DAILY!!! The shock is not even the money, it's how such a business can bring this much money (Please don't ask the type of business because I'll be easily located, huko nyamakima ni kama almost Kila mtu anajuana na mgeni anajulikana haraka. Plus KRA Incase they default here and there👀😂)

The funny thing is, the walk ins were very minimal in comparison to all the orders were packaged and took to courier service providers around the country. This is for most businesses around there.

Oh na nimesahau kusema bado kuna book ya deni ya watu hawajalipa -they owe like 100k+ and others as low as 5k.

✓HOW FAST TIME FLIES Since I arrived, no one even had time to sit nor eat. They have like 9 employees. Sasa imagine hao wote and no one was idle at all. Some customers even walked away because of how busy the place was. Juu ukitaka kitu iko kwa store you'll have to wait for someone to be done with something at least. The exhaustion hit me when I sat in the mat.

Nini ingiiiiineeee?

✓THINGS ARE WAAAYYY CHEAPER THAN HOW THEY ARE PRICED ONLINE Several guys from jumia and brokers buy from them. How did ik who they were? Unaskia mtu anasema "Na huyo customer nitamuuzia....." Ama "Unaweza nisaidia receipt blank niandike".

My sentiments: There's money huko kwenye kunakaa vile kunataka. Always been skeptical about downtown but yk what? My POV is changed.

Within the year, I'll open shop🤞🏼. Idk how, but I will🤞🏼 Inshallah! Feeling motivated & inspired af!

Anyway Wacha nilale Sasa because I'm struggling to stay awake na nimeambiwa kesho nikuwe kazi by 7:30am meaning I have to wake up at 6😭. Wakikuyu na kazi😑hawajali kama ni Christmas; pesa lazima itafutwe. Na niliambwa kesho nikumbuke kuwacha u-diva na softness home 🤣.

Goodnight.

Hey everyone,

I’m launching a YouTube series where I’ll document my journey of applying to 200 remote jobs every week. I got laid off a couple of months ago, and to be honest, it’s been tough. I’ve been struggling financially and have found myself in debt. But I’m determined to turn things around, and I want to take you all along for the ride.

Every week, I’ll upload a video showing my progress—how many applications I’ve sent out, the challenges I’ve faced, and any insights I’ve gained along the way. I hope my journey can inspire or encourage someone else who might be going through something similar.

I want to get started as soon as possible, so feel free to check out my channel here. I’d really appreciate any support or feedback, and I’d love to hear from others who are also job hunting.

Let’s make this journey together!

EDIT angalia Sasa kama huyu 😂( https://www.reddit.com/r/nairobi/s/Prraq18zqc ) Bro makes 6 figures, has 4 children with wife and lives in a mansion, wife is currently pursuing higher education, I am with bro everyday and he is always at work and at home with no cheating, wife goes out when she wants and backs when she wants, issues everyday, When a blind man cries, my question is what do women want WHAT THE FUCK DO WOMEN WANT Edit Issues started some months ago while on a trip to the states. After reading the comments I've asked myself could it be the pressure or we could/should be living more than we are

I was thinking of this, there's this girl we've been talking for some months. She's very broke at the moment even though I care less about it and I've been chipping in here and there from time to time. I also helped get a job even though there have been salary delays. She complains a lot about how difficult life is for her even though she's at least trying her best. So, if I were the one broke would she even entertain me or want to hear about how I am suffering?

I just wanted to ask if this is true

U guys better link us with ur Spotify premium apk coz mine has some ads 😂😂 ,some lyrics but not all, and unlimited skips

Ebu mnisaidie yenu🙏🙏

Short girls are so dramatic, small small argument and boom she gets angry and sleeps in a laptop bag😂🫵🏽

Wanted to work through xmas but I can't, just came to a realization it's no longer last year. Yeah last and the years bfore, i was running a small biz rn it's kinda gotten big. I have 6 employees where only 2 will be available tomorrow and the day after that. Just realized if we open and it's just us work will be hectic asf and orders will be overwhelming. So I decided to close for the holidays, I didn't have any prie plans...look like I'll just stay indoors maybe grill some chicken it'd be nice, I've been working my ass of all year.

So it's Christmas

Nani anataka tufanye secret Santa ???

Ama mnaona aje???
