Promises you should make to yourself

Life is not all rainbows and butterflies. It can be tough sometimes. And you’ve paid a heavy price to get this far, so the best option is to really make it count by moving forward from where you are. Free yourself from the world’s negativity – from the sources of ignorance telling you what you can and cannot do – by promising to look ahead, to live ahead, and to get ahead. In other words, start making positive promises to yourself! Promise to fight back, to fight harder, to laugh louder and longer and slap adversity back into its seat whenever it dares to stand against you. Promise to be a force to be reckoned with – because you are a force to be reckoned with. Make these promises to yourself, and keep them forever. Repeat after me: “I promise…” 1.“I will not hold the past against myself.”– Your problems, your weaknesses, setbacks, regrets and mistakes teach you if you’re willing to learn, or they will punish you if you’re not. So let them teach you, every day. Take everything as ...

Marry someone you can suffer with

“People often say, marry someone who makes you happy. And yes, happiness is important. But happiness alone cannot sustain a marriage, because life is not always sunshine. There will be seasons of loss, of uncertainty, of financial struggles, of sickness, of disappointments. That’s why I believe the real wisdom is this: marry someone you can suffer with. Marry someone who won’t run away when things get hard. Someone who will sit with you in the hospital when the night feels endless, or remind you to hope when your dreams seem delayed. Someone who will eat ugali and sukuma with you when times are tough, but also celebrate with you when abundance comes. True love is not just about laughing together—it is about crying together and still choosing each other the next morning. It is about carrying one another when one is too weak to walk. It is about holding the rope together when life pulls in the opposite direction. If you marry only for beauty, it will fade. If you marry only f...

14 Dark Female Nature Truths

(Read before it’s too late) 1. Women love like cats, not dogs – their affection is conditional, not automatic. 2. A woman will test you more when she feels you slipping, not when she feels secure. 3. Comfort breeds contempt—if she feels you’re too easy to please, she’ll lose interest. 4. Hypergamy is real: she’ll always look at who’s “better” than you, even if she stays. 5. A woman’s loyalty is tied to her options; remove the options, and loyalty becomes clearer. 6. She’ll never love you the way you love her—her love is survival-driven, not sacrificial. 7. The moment you put her above your purpose, she subconsciously devalues you. 8. Female attention is currency; once she knows it’s valuable to you, she rations it. 9. She’ll forgive disrespect from the man she desires, but never boredom from the man she doesn’t. 10. Attraction isn’t negotiated—it’s felt. No amount of logic can force it. 11. A woman never forgets who gave her the strongest emotions, good or bad. 12. She craves leadershi...

KCB BANK & EQUITY GROUP SHOULDĹ MERGE

By Ndindi Nyoro Results today recording a Ksh 32.3Bn PAT. Equity Group released the same earlier in the week recording a Net Profit of Ksh 33Bn. Growth is being fueled by regional Subsidiaries like DRC etc. Interestingly, KCB's shareholders Funds are now over Ksh 300Bn while the market Capitalisation is at Ksh 158.5Bn by the close of the market today. The bank is therefore trading at around 0.52 Price to Book value. Equity Bank's Shareholders Funds are at Ksh 274Bn and Market Capitalisation of 205Bn. The share is therefore trading at 0.75 to Book value. Several things. 1. The current trend of the Stock market is dividend driven. Shareholders are not necessarily interested in growth strategy but by the bottom line that end in the pocket. 2. Both banks are trading at around discount. Below 1 to Book value. 3. Both companies are now singularly almost as Profitable as Safaricom PLC. They are peers on profitability. However with a market cap of Ksh 1Trillion, Safaricom is valued 5 ...

The future is not something you wait for, it’s something you build.

By Martha Karua Growing up in rural Kirinyaga, I learned early that courage is not the absence of fear, it is the decision to act despite it. In my youth, I faced opposition, just as today’s young Kenyans face intimidation, and in some cases, abductions and killings by the regime. But just as I stood my ground then, I believe that your voices, amplified by today’s powerful digital platforms, can fight injustice, expose truth, and drive innovation. When I ran for MP, as a young advocate, with no money, and up against powerful, political systems and people, I was often told there were roles “not meant for women.” The same voices said I couldn’t win. Even today they still say that as a woman Presidential Candidate, the odds are against me, but I learned something powerful: when you prepare, persist, and believe in your cause, doors that seemed locked will open. On this International Youth Day, I encourage every young Kenyan, especially young women, to know: the future is not s...
