Kenya Bitter Truth

 1) Wishing will not bring riches. But desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure, will bring riches. 2) If you do not see great riches in your imagination, you will never see them in your bank balance. If the thing you wish to do is right, and you believe in it, go ahead and do it! 3) Awake, arise, and assert yourself. Your star is now in the ascendency. The world is filled with an abundance of opportunity which the dreamers of the past never knew. 4) You have been disappointed, you have undergone defeat during the Depression, you have felt great heart within you crushed until it bled. Take courage, for these experiences have tempered the spiritual metal of which you are made – They are assets of incomparable value. 5) There is a difference between wishing for a thing and being ready to receive it. No one is ready o...

social media is no doubt a positive addition to the great things technology has brought us. It has helped us in communicating, and having fun, but there are a lot of bad people who lurk behind different social media profiles looking to scam and defraud unsuspecting people. Some of us are already aware of some of the tactics used by these fraudsters, but there are a lot more people who are unaware of some of their techniques. So here’s a quick summary of some of the common ways social media fraudsters operate. ROMANCE This is like the easiest and most popular tactic used by scammers and surprisingly people fall for it every day, especially ladies. Because women are mostly emotional, anyone can just sweet talk some of them into parting with money once they notice the lady is desperate and in need of love and attention. That doesn’t mean guys don’t fall either. Scammers now use female profile pictures to fool guys as well and get money from them. Some scammers are well...

Based on social research conducted by Kandie Institute of Political Science, Many our young people from middle class and peasantry believe and dream about going to the States, Arabian Peninsula, "prestigious" Europe, Australia and other parts of the world in the name of greener pastures as well as the highly and quality education. The general assumption is that the world over their is assumed to be heavenly, full of money and opportunities, ideally place full of comfort and environment that is not polluted and good and humane people. But that is not the narrative. It is the wrong perception that is draining many young people, guardians and parents. The situation is entirely different. Many don't say but the state outside there is dehumanizing, cruel, hostile, busy and bias. Those who said East-West Home home is the best said it out of logic. I dare to say, Africa is the best and original continent with good people. The only difference between us and them is may be infra...

MESSAGE TO YOUNG PEOPLE: HIV/AIDS IS REAL, BE CAREFUL !!!!' (By Dennis Kandie) It is increasingly clear that we come from a conservative society where we fail to state facts as it is, or tell young people to take caution and understand that AIDS is real. Kandie Institute of Political Science takes a comprehensive approach in informing young people about HIV, its status, protection and care and all that computes to understanding HIV. KIPS believes in informing young people and those interested wholeheartedly for we believe information is power. Human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is a spectrum of conditions caused by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Following initial infection, a person may not notice any symptoms or may experience a brief period of influenza-like illness. Typically, this is followed by a prolonged period with no symptoms. As the infection progresses, it interferes more with the immu...

This is  what Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja told Elgeyo marakwet Senator who is also Senate majority leader Kipchumba murkomen

When he received one of his awards recently, Ronaldo dedicated it to a certain ... Alberto Fantrau. Then said: "Yes I am a great footballer and all my success is thanks to my friend Alberto" People looked at each other and said, "Who is this Mr. Fantrau?" Then Ronaldo went on: "We played together in a youth team. When Sporting of Lisbon recruiters came to observe us, they told us that the striker who scored the most goals will be recruited into the sports academy. That day we won 3-0. I scored the first goal and then Albert scored the 2nd with the head. And then the 3rd goal was the one that impressed everyone. Alberto started from the wing, then found himself face to face with the keeper, dribbled the goalkeeper and all he had to do was push the ball into the empty goal. In the meantime I was running to his side. And instead of shooting into the empty goal, Alberto decided to pass the ball to me and I scored. This is how I find myself at the Sporting Lisbo...

I am not an avid supporter of soccer and I rarely watch most matches except when my team is playing or when I really want our major opponent to lose. Nevertheless due to the hype and importance many people attached to this world cup, I decided to watch as many games as I could manage to and gathered a few valuable business lessons( they may as well not be valuable to you) 1. If by this time you haven’t stopped gambling, then you are sick and have a long way to go. This world cup has proved to be the most uncertain one with traditionally “big” teams being bundled out of the race unceremoniously. The amount of smoke being generated from “burnt bets” is literally choking and the tension  generated as teams concede last minute goals is enough to cause serious heart conditions. If you haven't stopped gambling then I'm afraid you are not going to soon. Don’t say you were not told. This word cup was sent to save you albeit the hard way. 2.Speed in bus...

In 1998, Kodak had 170,000 employees and sold 85% of all photo paper worldwide. Within just a few years, their business model disappeared. Recently, I’ve been impressed by a vision of the future as shared by serial entrepreneur and CEO Udo Gollub. He has noted that what happened to Kodak will happen to many industries in the next 10 years. But most don't see it coming. Did you think, in 1998, that 3 years later you would never take pictures on film or paper again? Digital cameras were invented in 1975. The first models had only 10,000 pixels of image resolution, but followed Moore's law (like transistors, we’ve doubled the number of pixels per square inch every year). Similar to many exponentially growing technologies, it was a disappointment for a long time, but grew progressively more superior and went mainstream in only a few short years. Software will disrupt most traditional industries. Uber, for example, is just a software tool. They don't own cars, but are now t...

​Jack MA​, The Richest Man in China said: ​If you put Bananas and Money in front of Monkeys, Monkeys will choose Bananas because monkeys do not know that ​Money can buy a lot of Bananas​.​ IN REALITY, if you offer JOB and BUSINESS to people, they would choose JOB because most people do not know that BUSINESS can bring more MONEY than Wages. Similarly, ​Robert Kiyosaki​, author of the best selling book "RICH DAD, POOR DAD" and also a business partner of Donald Trump said: ​"One of the reasons poor are poor, is because they are NOT TRAINED TO RECOGNIZE ENTREPRENEURSHIP OPPORTUNITIES.​ They spend too much time in school and what they have learnt in school, is to WORK FOR WAGES instead of MONEY WORKING FOR THEM. ​"Profit is better than Wages, for Wages can make you a living but Profits can bring you a Fortune."​ ​THINK INVESTMENT​ and stop fighting over increments of salaries, it still won't be enou...

By Ephraim Njega I cry daily for this country because I know a lot about the sting of poverty. Not from reading the dictionary but through life experiences. One time I was so broke. I had less than KShs 2,000 left and had run out of cooking gas. So I was wondering do I buy cooking gas and be eating Ugali-Sukuma daily or do I instead eat bread and black tea daily and stretch that cash longer. I know social media is not the place for sob stories but we can learn from each other. Besides faking happiness does not create happiness. Being broke was the greatest opportunity in life because it taught me lessons money can never buy. I realised you can sleep hungry in this city and life will be on as if nothing is happening. I learnt that you cannot outsource your destiny to other people. Those people you call close friends will be the first to depart in your hour of need. You are only useful to most people for as long as your bank account is still operational. Being broke taught me that...

By Dr Aubrey Roberts Research had it that the poorest groups of people in the world are Salary earners, next to beggars. They live in a vicious cycle of poverty, managed on 30 days. Salary is continuously being awaited every month and any slight delay brings about heartbreaking anxiety, pressure and disappointment. Salary is a short term solution to a life time problem. Salary alone cannot solve your money problems. You need multiple Sources of income to balance. The tax return form contains about 11 income streams, of which salary is just one. Don't live Life fishing with just one hook, there are many fishes in the ocean. Salary is the MEDICINE for managing POVERTY, not to CURE it. Only your BUSINESS or INVESTMENT Cures Poverty. Most investors are not salary earners. The difference between those beggars on the street and salary earners is one month salary. Truncate the flow of their salary for one month and you would realize that majority belong to the lower class. If you...
