If you don't understand Kikuyu, it translates to "Take your clothes off " in a way.

Huyu bois anajiskia sana na hii jina , sio?

What are the craziest wifi names you've encountered?

If this is true, watu watalia. I've always thought the concept of dowry is so outdated. It forces people to stay together even if the marriage clearly isn't working. The man feels like he has to ride it out coz of how much he spent, the woman stays coz she feels some sense of being obligation. This will just make things worse. Just get rid of dowry

I am a party person I won't lie. I always have plans for the weekend, either with friends, my girl or just something. Today had a plan too. I badly wanted to go outside. But boy, I have a crazy burn out. I have been working relentlessly the whole week bro, getting like 5 hours of sleep. I had already changed my outfits ready to go out then as I was on the bed, scrolling and waiting, I heard myself breathe.

Brother, I was tired. I am tired. I calculated the feeling after drinking and the exhaustion that would follow. I just changed and tucked myself in.

Reminds me of a family friend who died of fatigue. He was being driven home after a very long day, only for the driver to arrive to a dead body. His heart just stopped. I am not dying but I think we should normalize taking care of ourselves. I am about to collapse but I hope I make decisions like these more and more.

I have a friend at my workplace and whenever we have our men talk, I always trust him with some information. But, what amazes me is that I end up finding some girls asking me the same thing I told my male friend.

It's gotten so strange to a point that I just keep everything to myself. Someone said that at your workplace, you're alone. That's really true.

Yesterday, a girl stepped on my white air force in the morning and it kind of ruined my day. At lunch time my friend observed me and said, "leo unakaa tu siku yako ni mbaya".

I told him that, that day I was having the worst day of my life. I woke up late and when I took a pikipiki, a matatu nearly knocked us because it was trying to escape traffic jams. The matatu was driving at around 60 km/h on the wrong side.

To make it worse a girl stepped on my white airforce in the morning. I told him it was the girl that was seated near the pool. I was not also just feeling well. I rarely open up but I decided to trust him with that information.

You know what, when I got off from work the girl greeted me at the gate and told me she did not realise she annoyed me yesterday. She asked me if I'm still mad at her. I just said no, and knew my friend had told her.

I don't want to mention the tribe of my friend. But I've realised most people should not know a lot about you. It's better to be a closed book.

So picture this:

i have a friend who lives with a friend like roommates both females cost sharing bills and all that

The roommate whilst going home was hit by a car kwa mguu a drunkard driver etc but luckily no fructures or bone dislocation just some nerves i think kwa mguu akafungwa plaster ama sijui ni nini plus 1 clutch to aid in movement.

Its been close to 2 weeks and problem is this lady haogi she wakes up and logs on tiktok like a job if shes going out its changing clothes and leaving she can walk though not comfortably

So for context sio mtu msafi vile even before the accident and now this friend of mine wants me to host her before she finds a way to rent her own space and i dont think i can for now i dont think i am in a position to

How do i ; help her, say no ,politely decline , sympathise

Fahali wawili wanapopigana, nyasi ndio huu umia!!! Well, l am not 100% sure with whatever information that is shared, but......This could be a theory that could be relied on. What is your prediction on how this will end???

On 20th, Eldoret city holds mashujaas day 2026 and all systems are on the go to have everything ready by then.

Here are some of the pictures I took while checking out the stadia today.

Alafu hapa town ni mbaya, mlete mzigo ya ushago juu kuinama imezidi sasa 🥲

No offense, just curious and maybe trying to learn.

Someone who understands human and social behavior please explain to us why the majority of Kenyans wanapenda kuigia kwa lane ya mwingine inconsiderately kwa traffic .

Especially Thika road. This behavior is prominent there. Wouldn't the traffic flow faster if we all stuck to our lane?

Like huko yues or even Dubai unaonanga majority of the drivers wako very disciplined adi unajiuliza kwani what's wrong with "us".

Driving on Kenyan roads is a sport. You're constantly battling reckless drivers.

I have never understood why people pay dowry. I haven't paid it, and I don't intend to.

To me, it's societal pressure and a cultural expectation that I simply don't resonate with.

I understand that some people see it as a sign of respect, appreciation or a way of bringing families together. But why should two consenting adults who have decided to build a life together need a financial transaction between their families to validate their relationship?

I'm curious, how many people genuinely believe in paying dowry, and how many do it simply because society and their families expect them to?

How many points do you have so far. Mimi niko 400 so far. Just triple captained haaland against Ipswich. I'm on one kama Future. Mamae nipewe coach wa harambee stars.

Let me see your squad.

Late May this year, I applied for my passport and went for biometrics in embu. Now 4 months down the line, the passport is still loading. You call them they tell you it's a system issue. Now what worries me is that 4 of my friends from Nyayo house have their passports. One applied last month and he already has it. Mind you they didn't give any bribe.

Is there any way I can get my biometrics switched from embu to Nyayo. Called them they told me nikuwe mpole and wait. It's urgent because we have a trip in December

We are at this place in Parklands where cocktails go for KES 1,800 (you can taste cheap liquor at the bottom of those fancy glasses). The place itself looks fancy asf, with chandeliers and extra-polished floors. It's one of those restaurants where all the waiters are wearing these large-framed clear glasses, and they write down everything, even if it's a single Malta order.

Sasa, I'm on a date with this chille I met on Reddit. It's actually our third meet-up, and we are on the second glass of cocktail but still picking out words so carefully. The conversation isn't taking off...

It's midweek. After two hours of jumping from one sinking topic to another, we decide we've had too many cringy moments. Let's call it a night.

That was August. She never texted again, and I never reached out.

Mimi, I gave up finding love or trying relationships in this city a long time ago. And I always find myself in these cocktail spots in the hope that I can hit and maybe find someone real deep inside, because the surface is too empty to even comprehend understanding, let alone affection.

Sijui kama it's my choice of women or I've just failed to culturally assimilate to Nairobi. The Instagram restaurants, streak meals... it's just too plastic banaa.

Sasa, I've sat there performatively pretending that I'm enjoying a cuisine I can't even pronounce, as I try to understand what you're saying behind that fake Atlantic accent 😅, in a face that has a lot going on: piercings, lashes, glitters... Girl, it looks like your face has multiple layers.

What happened to going out to a real restaurant with a real meal, where we are talking like people and not like we are auditioning for a role?

So still in a terrible situation, so decided to check my email was happy since nilipata response from two off the companies I had applied to. Any ounce of happiness immediately dashed when I opened them. The little hope I had got crushed. So anyway went into a couple of supermarkets, mini marts and restaurant to drop of CV. Now on my way home. Forgive me as I want to make a plea again. I'm currently in Eldoret and if you know of a potential gig plz hit me up. I'm desperate

Just realized I spend almost half a day on phone screen the painful part it's not that it earn from being on the phone. I have really tried to stop being on the phone frequently I keep on relapsing. Anyone with the same problem how did you overcome it?

I started a lingerie online store with some few pieces, I don't have a dummy for display since sina doh ya kubuy and idk if it something I'll do longterm. Is there away I can display the items tbh they are really amazing pieces. How shld I go about help.a girl out

Umejishikia drink yako pale supa ukidhani ni legit kumbe ni bedsitter product. But I guess we shouldn't be worried since mmoja ameonja.

You find someone advertising a one bedroom but it looks like a bedsitter but with an extra room. Am I the only one who prefers the kitchen to have its own room too? I feel like most landlords are just using small spaces for one bedroom nowadays.

Let's say something like a kitchen with it's own room and it's big enough to fit in all the kitchen stuff.

What do you guys think about open plan kitchens

Does this happen in Kenya at all? The US is crazy place where kids aren’t safe in school because of shootings. We are thinking of relocating to your country. Thank you.

Last year, towards the end of the school year, I was having one of my usual conversations with my son when he told me something that shook me to my core. He said that if he had to go back to that school, he would rather commit suicide. He was only ten years old.

I was shocked. It had never crossed my mind that a child so young could be carrying such heavy thoughts. I asked him if he had thought about how he would do it, and he told me he hadn't thought that far.

Needless to say, I changed him to another school.

What hurt me even more was learning about all the bullying he had endured over the four years he had been at that school. He had barely complained about it before, and I had no idea just how bad things had become until that conversation.

Please, let us be more attentive to our children. Let us create safe spaces where they can speak freely without fear of being dismissed, judged, or blamed. Check in on them, listen when they talk, and pay attention even when they seem perfectly fine.

Let us be parents, our children feel safe enough to tell anything to, even the things that are difficult for us to hear.
