People love pretending life is a perfectly fair race meanwhile some people started the marathon on a bicycle 😭. Listen, if life hands you an unfair advantage, use it wisely and move ahead. There is absolutely no medal waiting for you at the finish line that says: “Congratulations for struggling voluntarily.” 🤣

If you’re attractive, open those doors with that face card. If you have wealthy relatives, network like your ancestors invested in your future. If you’re naturally intelligent, stop acting confused for aesthetics. If you know powerful people, shake those hands aggressively 😭.

The world already runs on advantages, connections, timing, beauty, talent, and opportunity. Refusing to use yours doesn’t make you noble — sometimes it just makes you unnecessarily stuck. Class dismissed.

A real man doesn’t walk a dog… the dog looks like it could walk him.
You won’t catch a guy saying, “Hold on bro, my Chihuahua is tired.” Tired from what? Emotional support? 😅 A real man’s dog lineup looks like:

Belgian Malnois-SI Unit of power
Boerboel — security system with legs
Bulldog — built like a gym instructor that gave up on cardio
German Shepherd — FBI agent in dog form
Siberian Husky — looks like it pays rent and still argues with you

Meanwhile a Chihuahua is out here barking like it pays bills but weighs less than your lunch.

In boxing, a punch to the ge****ls (groin) is classified as a "low blow" and is considered an illegal move under the Marquess of Queensberry and modern unified rules. If the low blow was intentional: Winner injured boxer cannot continue, the offending boxer is Disqualified (DQ), and the injured boxer is declared the winner.

Mbavu lost the battle, but he won the war. Majembe was a better boxer, but he messed with the legitimacy of his win. I think this was planned to initiate a rematch. I may be wrong.

Kenyan social media waves have the lifespan of a roadside rain puddle in January, dramatic for a few minutes, then the sun remembers it has a job to do.

Today the timelines are roaring with praise for Edwin Sifuna. Memes are flying, hashtags are marching, and somewhere on X (formerly Twitter) someone has already typed the sacred Kenyan prophecy: “Sifuna for President 2032!” — a promotion that in Kenya happens faster than a matatu conductor shouting “Tao! Tao! One seat!”

But seasoned observers like I know the rhythm of Kenyan waves. Yesterday it was "Hi Cousins" previously it was Morara Kebaso, before him was Kasmwell before Kasmwell was someone else trending, tomorrow it will be a new hero discovered between breakfast and lunch.

Sustaining a wave in Kenya is harder than sustaining free Wi-Fi in a matatu. So while the current Sifuna Wave is loud and energetic, history suggests it will slowly fold itself back into the familiar political system — that mysterious place where loud reformers often enter roaring and emerge speaking in parliamentary committee language.

Kenyatta University’s dream team strutted its stuff at the 96th Kenya Music and Cultural Festival, hosted by the Ministry of Youth, Gender, and Culture. Out of six sizzling entries, KU bagged a buffet of accolades, including a win for the Mash-Up category, and runner-up spots in Historical Play, English Play, Puppetry, and One-Person Play all written by yours truly.
Once again, KU proves it's not just a hub of academic brilliance but a powerhouse of artistic flair and talent. Who says you can’t have brains and drama? Thank you for the organizers.

Kenyans seem to be caught in a web of double standards when it comes to the ongoing debate about performances by artists like W***y Paul and Diamond Platnumz. For years, the narrative was that if a Kenyan artist performed before an international act, it was perceived as "curtain-raising" — a term loaded with condescension, implying inferiority and diminishing the status of our local talent. This sentiment fueled complaints about how Kenyan artists were being undervalued on their own stages.

However, now the tables have turned. Diamond Platnumz reportedly offered to perform before W***y Paul at a recent event, and instead of celebrating this shift, Kenyans are rejecting it. Why? The same people who lamented Kenyan artists being sidelined now seem uncomfortable with an international star showing respect to a local act by choosing to go on stage first. This inconsistency raises important questions: Are we truly supportive of our local talent, or do we just enjoy the drama of constant critique?

This incident highlights a troubling trend: we are so fixated on narratives of inferiority that even when circumstances change, we cling to old grievances. Instead of seeing this as a victory for Kenyan artists — a moment when international acts are willing to share the spotlight equitably — we shift the goalposts and create new controversies.

As a nation, we must confront our collective mindset and stop undermining our own. If we continue to demand respect for our artists while rejecting progress when it happens, we risk perpetuating the very problems we claim to fight against.
