Kenya Bitter Truth

Kenyabittertruth: Before you do... : “Before you Assume, learn the Facts. Before you Judge, understand Why. Before you Hurt someone, Feel. Before you Speak, Think.”

“Before you Assume, learn the Facts. Before you Judge, understand Why. Before you Hurt someone, Feel. Before you Speak, Think.”

“It doesn’t matter if the glass is half empty or half full. Be grateful that you have a glass, and there is something in it.” Always remember that you control your thoughts, and thus, your happiness. Your thinking generates your emotions. Your emotions generate your actions. Be grateful and focus on the abundance in your life. Think positive and live positive. Think love and embody love. Love is within you and all around you–invite it into your life.

We talk about women being or not being good enough for marriage all the time, so I think it makes sense to talk about men for a bit too. I know it’s kinda difficult to tell who cares and doesn’t really, but I also have always said that if you didn’t see the signs before it happened, then you didn’t pay enough attention. There’s nothing that happens without some sort of warning. The worst people in marriage always showed the signs during the dating stage. Sadly, we mostly choose to not see them. It shouldn’t be so. Better to lose it now than lose it tomorrow after you would have paid a heavy price too. Here are some signs that guy you’re seeing is not the type you should consider for marriage. YOU DON’T SHARE THE SAME BELIEFS AND VALUES When your beliefs and values don’t align, what you’ll likely get is disagreement. And if you manage to steer that relationship clear of it before the children come, when they do eventually...

With each passing day, technology improves, and with improvement comes all manner of danger. Some time ago, one could be less worried about where they log into, and the type of things they download, however, these days, the story is changing; hence the need for more care on our part. There are a lot of criminals and evil minded people out there who are looking for a way to scam or destroy you. The slightest mistake on your part can grant them the power to. If you use social media in any way, you must be very wary of the following… SYNCING ALL YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS There was a time I tried this, because it looked cool, however, I soon came to realise that these social media platforms differ. What works for platform A may not work with another, so it’s better to operate them individually. For example some platforms have language and characters that are unique to them. Imagine how awful it’d be if you used them on another platform as a result of synchronizati...

Losing weight is a common problem among a lot of people globally, and there are millions of posts suggesting how to go about it. Gaining weight on the other hand, isn’t the most popular challenge out there, but believe me, it is real for some, and unlike losing weight, they have no idea how to go about it. If you’re looking to add a few extra pounds, here’s exactly what you need to do… EAT HEAVY DINNER Usually, if you’re trying to shed some pounds, it’s advised that you eat little at night, but if it’s the opposite effect you’re looking to create on yourself, then, eating heavy is the way to go. The more you eat, the more your body has enough calories to store up, which equals more weight. DRINK LESS WATER Drinking lots of water during meals allow for you to get full quicker, because it adds extra content to your stomach. However, if it’s weight you want to gain, you have to eat more, which means drinking less so you have more ...

Honestly, I don’t even like to use that word, ‘side chick’ because I think it’s disrespectful to women, but the truth is there are a lot of women who embrace their ‘side chick’ status, and it’s disappointing. So who is a side chick? Well, a side chick is a woman who plays backup to another woman in a relationship. A man has a girlfriend or wife, but then, because he can’t be mature enough to control the urge to cheat, he runs after another, usually for sex or some other kind of satisfaction. The interesting thing about side chicks today is while a lot of women do not know they’re playing second fiddle, there are an even very impressive many who know, and willingly accept to be backup. But for those who do not know they’re a side chick, how do you really know? THERE’S NO PDA WHATSOEVER I know that it’s not everybody that’s bold enough to show affection to their lover publicly, but there are different ways ...

The goal of every employee or job seeker is to not just land their dream job, but also their kind of salary. The dream of a recruiter, on the other hand, is to spend as little as possible on salaries, so unless you are aware of the secrets and complexities of remuneration, you may end up cheating yourself out on both salary and a job. We have put together a few tips we believe will help you in landing that dream salary/job. WAIT FOR AN OFFER Some people are usually too quick to name their expected pay during an interview. Don’t jump the gun, and mention your salary expectation. It throws the employer off and it shows you off as someone who is after the money and not for the love of the job. Always wait for when the recruiter makes you an offer. DON’T BE IN A HURRY TO NAME YOUR PRICE There’s an accepted salary structure for every employment position, depending on your qualifications. When your recruiter asks you to tell them ‘how much you’d like to b...

My fellow Principals in NASA, and I, along with all freedom-loving Kenyans, join you in your moment of boundless joy and offer you our warmest congratulations. The tumultuous scenes of ecstasy throughout Zimbabwe at the departure of the dictator Robert Mugabe attest to the African people’s irrepressible hunger for freedom and liberty. You have succeeded in peacefully overthrowing tyranny and dictatorship and created for yourselves the promise of a prosperous future that only democracy can provide. This is a historic moment for you and for all Africans who yearn for a better life in democracy. At the same time, your astonishing triumph over a deeply-entrenched despotism will instill fear in the hearts of the continent’s many dictators. I encourage to move swiftly towards consolidating your gains towards democracy, which alone will prevent the return of the old order. For me personally, this a moment of great satisfaction and of a dream fulfilled. In 2008, as Prime Mini...

World’s best travel guidebook is at it again with its ever-controversial list of places to indulge for the year coming. As usual, this is not the buzzfeed, cookie-cutter kind of edition, but rather picks caves and valleys, dens and dines off the beaten path, yet with an experience to the end of the galaxy and back. Jumia Travel takes a peek of the continents top most, and gets a glimpse of where to stay in other listed countries and cities Djibouti Topping the continent’s list of priority, and sneaking in behind Chile at number four, Djibouti is the real definition of fire and ice thanks to its unearthly location between three antagonizing tectonic plates. Popularly undiscovered (no pun), off the route and sealed behind dead volcanoes, deep gulf and a city trying hard to dust itself of the colonial dust, Djibouti combines high adrenaline trekking, shark-daring diving and unadulterated heritage for anyone intrepid enough to dare. As Lonely Planet reports in their list...

I just finished a speaking tour in the US. One of the places I spoke at was Amherst College, President Uhuru Kenyatta’s alma mater. I met with his academic advisor and he remembers him as a quiet student. I also spoke at Colby College in Maine and ended my visit with a talk at Harvard University. At the age of 15, l was kicked out of school and only got to do my O-level exams last year at 34 years. Being kicked out of school at such a young age didn’t mean it was the end of education for me. Like Mao Zedong, Malcolm X, among other known public intellectuals, l am self-educated. I can honestly say that without reading, l would not be where l am today. My love for reading helped me secure a place in journalism school without an O-level certificate. I sat for the college entrance exams, just like my fellow students, and passed. My college mates nicknamed me “the boy from Harvard”, because l possessed a lot of knowledge about what we were studying. I hawked bo...

Ready to build on the travel trends taking center stage at the turn of the year? Take a keen look on the new zeal for experience versus destination, the core meaning of enjoying the journey as much as the destination. Now partnering more than 30,000 hotels across Africa, travel experts from Jumia Travel offer some of the leading trends that are bound to grow in 2018. Nose Deep! Cultural immersion It's all about diving into the culture, to learn  and to share as well as to experience firstly the people's’ way of life. This trend has grown immensely, partly because travelers are leaning more towards authentic experiences and being part of it by getting involved and also because stakeholders such as UNWTO have created several awareness campaigns that encourage tourists to become part of the experience. The changing attitude is commendable, and this trend is here to grow. Bon appetit! For Culinary indulgence Now going under the trendy hashtag, #culinary tourism or gastr...

By Maina Kiai There is little doubt that the next weeks will be bring immeasurable pressure on the judges of the Supreme Court as they delve into yet another cycle of election petitions following the sham polls of October 26. Of course it need have gotten to this had the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) done its job well, and had it sought the Court’s guidance following the withdrawal of Mr Raila Odinga on October 10, using the same laws it had used in gazetting just two candidates for the repeat polls. But IEBC, it decided to vote — yes vote! — on legal interpretation among its commissioners with only one of them being a lawyer! INDEPENDENCE The easier thing would have been to seek guidance from the Supreme Court but they decided against that on unclear — but certainly not legal — basis. It need not have gotten to this had the IEBC taken time to reflect on why the previous polls were annulled and gotten all sides to the table to...

Overcoming Kenya's political crisis and advancing Democracy, Rule of Law and Stability Speechby the The Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga, Leader The National Super Alliance coalition (NASA) The Center for Strategic and International Studies It’s very special for me to be here again at CSIS. A democratic, secure and stable African future can only be attained through the power of ideas and candid, informed debate, and that is always plentiful in this house. Your continuing commitment to Africa is a blessing for the continent and for the US too. I am very glad to be here with close friends as well, first and foremost Mark Bellamy, and of course Johnnie Carson. These two remain the most astute and caring US ambassadors Kenya ever had, and subsequently the two most astute ambassadors Kenya ever had in the US! The distinguished guests here attest to the recognition of Kenya as one of the most strategically important nations in Africa. Despite its relatively small economy, Kenya has played a...
