Why you should remember your family during this chirstmas

You have budgeted Ksh. 100,000/- for Christmas while your mother who years ago slept hungry but still suckled you will go on empty stomach this day. Your dad who slept on a cold floor guarding a village posho-mill to fend for you is still sleeping under a grass thatched leaky roof while you pay Ksh. 30,000/- as rent in Nairobi. The land your parents agreed to sell so that you could go to secondary school has never been recovered despite your six figure basic salary and five figure allowances. Your brother is unable to proceed with college education yet you spin a fuel guzzler. Your wife tells you to hate your sister yet she was not there when your sister gave out her 50cts she had kept to buy you panadol when you fell sick. You hate it when your people come visiting while treat your friends generously. You sleep on a master-bed worth a fortune while your mum who fought with a neighbour when her son beat you is still sleeping on a mat on the floor. Your fridge is full of all types of meat but since the year began your parents struggle to get managu alone. Your kids already have x-mas fashion worth Ksh. 70,000/- while your mum cannot afford 15/- to pay the tailor who repaired her dress 3months ago. Your shoes can buy 5 bulls yet your dad cannot afford akala sandals. CURSED BE THOU!!!

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London. After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Mr. Riley was already there when they arrived, sitting on the sand, eyes closed in a deep meditation. He was shirtless, wearing camouflage-patterned shorts similar to the ones The Spellbinder styled the day he appeared on the beach and a pair of rubber diving booties with smiley face emojis scattered over them. You would have been more than amused if you saw him in them. An assistant rushed out of the billionaire’s home the instant he raised a hand toward the heavens, displaying the universal victory sign. Three crisp pages of paper were effic...

THE CROWN YOU CARRY: A Letter to My LOVELY Daughter FROM THE HEART OF A MOTHER

My Dearest Daughter, As the sun rises over the hills of Limuru, casting golden rays upon the dew-kissed tea leaves, my heart swells with pride, hope, and the wisdom only a mother can carry. You, my beautiful girl, are in school, and while the world sees a student in uniform, I see a queen in the making. I see the grace of your grandmother, the fire of your ancestors, and the promise of a bright African dawn glowing in your eyes. This Easter, God granted me the sweet joy of bonding with you—not just as a mother—but as a woman who has walked a little further on this winding road of life. You may not know it yet, but in those laughter-filled mornings and quiet evening chats, a legacy was passed on: not of gold or silver, but of values, vision, and virtue. Let me speak to your soul now, daughter of mine. Listen with your spirit. In this life, my sweet child, “a child who does not listen to the mother’s advice will sleep with the flies” — a Ghanaian proverb as old as wisdom itself. The worl...
