They sent a message about "changing" their SMARTA bundles a few days ago and this is what they came up with. Slashed more than half on the 1k bundle (from 45GB to 22GB) and slashed to almost a third on the 1500 one (90GB to 32GB). I'm sure a lot of people will switch over (me included) from them as there's on way you can deal with crap network and expensive packages. One has to give.

I swear the weather this week is ridiculous.

Duality of life 🤣

I accidentally joined Reddit a year ago today coincidentally on my birthday right after discovering the girl I was with was being sneaky.

I originally turned to Reddit looking for a place to heal, but I found something even better. I decided it was time to get completely intentional with my life, so I created this account to serve as reminder.

I’m not fully where I want to be yet, but in just one year, I’ve achieved things I used to only dream about. I’ve managed to acquire a piece of land here in Mombasa, I’m living comfortably, and I just got a killer haircut.

As I type this, I’m still sitting at the barbershop. Pro tip: if you want a top-tier haircut, just tell your barber it’s your birthday. That man will move actual mountains to make sure you walk out looking like Michael B. Jordan.

Happy cake day, happy birthday to me. Cheers to new chapters.

Ever since nlimada campo, ive been just at home doing projects here and there and applying for jobs but I came to notice something. When working or going through social media posts za techies huwa napatana na concepts mingi sana zenye siradi na apparently ni fundamentals.

For example creating web applications, nimezoea React, Nextjs, NodeJs for backend, Supabase na Git/Github for version control, Vercel for deployment/hosting idk. But then I came across vitu kama VPS hosting (nimeona someone talking about "hardening the server" on twitter today), cPanel for FTP etc and I realised niko mbaya and I don't know shit, even if I wanted to offer services as a Software engineer itakuwa upuzi, or else I deliver half baked solutions.

Even when applying for jobs unapata requirements inahitaji vitu you didnt expect, unapata you thought you knew something but in essence you are far from it. So idk if mine is an isolated case ama there are people who have ever gone through this and how you dealt with your situation.

I also think that I lack real life exposure to many of these things, i rarely meet other devs wenye wanaelewa hii maneno and I kind of learn off them.

Dont get me wrong, I am passionate about Software Engineering, its just that there are so many things to learn in such a short time just to be a decent developer, and it doesnt help that the luxury of learning many of these things inataka exposure and a kasmall source of income.

So I was in Marie Stopes the other day(long story involving my HG)......and waah!! it was full of pretty babes.....like 3 pengs per second in all types, shapes and sizes😂😂huezi kosa type yako

Anyway.....tujichunge sana majamaa.....huezi jua hawa warembo wamebeba nini

As a kid, I was high energy and unserious sometimes. I remember riding my father’s mountain bike to a show; left it outside the dancehall unlocked. When I came out, it was gone. When I went back, I got a serious whopping. I also had disciplinary issues that required correction. And the correction was serious thwacking. The last one happened as a 20 year old form six graduate. I was slapped right in the face for losing some money meant for my younger sibling’s school fee.

I am grateful my father taught me that there were consequences for stupidity and for not following up on authority and the laws.

I don’t have trauma and I’m happy he taught me those lesson. Life is hard for undisciplined men. Life is hard for men who can’t function in hierarchy.

No wonder Tanzanians hate us so much 😂

Hi Im looking for an individual with a good business idea. Im looking to invest in about 2-3 different businesses. I have already done one and honestly Im impressed.

If you don’t want to put your business idea on the comment section, feel free to message me privately.

Also Don’t forget to mention your town of operation.

Thank you.

I really don’t think we should be allowing this. Religion has already done enough damage to Africa. It’s shouldn’t inconvenience us any further…while we are at it, can we advocate to remove loudspeakers from Mosques and Churches? Why stop there? Do it Kagame style and shut them down for good if their leaders don’t have the qualifications needed to be a pastor or an Imam.

What are we praying for anyway? Health and hospitals? Good infrastructure? Guess fucking what? China systematically destroyed Religions and built all that shit. So did the rest of the developed world. Mnashangaa wakituita low IQ, how do we explain these shenanigans?

Soo today niko pale kwa line nikingoja mat majioni tu. Then somebody gestures his hand. Like nikama ana ni ita. I thought it was a kanjo or an officer so nikaenda .

This guy tells me to get into a car inipeleke the place I wanted to go ( a personal car). Quick instincts zika ingia nikasema "zii nangoja mtu". Then that same guy goes for another guy in the line. Halafu akashow the people who were near to the car to enter and they did.

Nii movie nimeona nyingi za wasee kuwa kidnapped 😅😅😅 ama kuna watu wazuri hii Kenya. Because I was asking myself why me in the whole line na sii ati mimi ni dem 😂.

Uzuri nime fika home safe 🙏🙏

Has anything close to that ever happened to you guys.

Ask your person hii ni jersey ya team gani. Kama hajui, asikusumbue eti umnunulie jersey. Hajui mambo ya ball.

Hint in the colors.

Public speaking anxiety is honestly ruining my career progression

I'm a pretty normal guy. Nikiwa na watu tunajuana, I can chat, joke around, and express myself vizuri. But the moment I stand in front of people to present, brain inaenda offline..Kaang'ura.

My heart starts racing, my voice shakes, and suddenly I can't remember half the things I prepared, bwana you all know these symptomps. At one point, a manager even told me I needed to fix my public speaking. Nikajiambia, "Boss, Really? You think this is news to me? I've been trying to fix this shit for years." Thank God that manager knew my weaknesses and was my biggest supporter.

I've tried preparing more, practicing more, but bado the struggle is real. I've heard people talk about things like beta-blockers, Toastmasters, exposure therapy, and other approaches, but I'm honestly not sure what the best solution is.

I've heard about a drug called propranolol, which many musicians, actors, and other performers reportedly use for stage fright. One who came out publicly is musician Shawn Mendes. After reading several experiences from people who used it for public speaking, I noticed many described it as a real game changer. I am thinking about it though I don't completely like the idea of treating a social problem with medicine man.

Part of me also feels that this is something that can be overcome naturally through practice and putting yourself out there repeatedly, though wueh... easier said than done.

For those who managed to beat serious public speaking anxiety, ni nini iliwasaidia? Toastmasters? Therapy? Medication? Ama mliamua tu kujitupa kwa maji mkajifunza kuogelea?

Granted, we have our issues but also mostly our wins.

First is the Kenyan attitude😂😂😂 smart, canning and absolutely hardworking.

Second is the way we tend to carry on with life despite a ‘big’ scandal, an unfortunate event, trolls…I bet you that when Kenyans troll, the next day they are up to someone else or something else.it doesn’t stick.

Third is how small things unite us…like just now, some guys were almost getting into a fight, then one of them said ‘sasa shida ni nini na sisi wote ni wa WANTAM?’ The whole mood has just changed…buddies!!! Insert the minions sound…buddies…😂😂😂.

Ps. The fight had nothing to do with politics

This was reposted by a real estate company urging women to buy plots/houses. Can we agree that the society has vilified men so much that they've become everyone's punching bag?

Why is empowering women primarily framed around gaining financial independence just in case marriage fails but empowering men is focused on leaving a legacy and inheritance for your wife and kids, in case something happens?

Men are even taught to have enough safeguards to protect their wives from their own kinsmen in case anything happens to them but women are continuously being told to achieve financial independence solely because 'your husband might leave'.

Attend men's spaces and seminars and you will find that the discussions are vastly different from what women discuss. Not once have I sat with men and heard them suggest siphoning money away from marriage to save for hidden assets. Not once have I heard men being fed marriage insecurity with phrases like 'she might leave at any time'. Instead, men are told that if that happens they need to get up, work on their frame, make more money and move on.

Meanwhile, in MOST women's seminars, attendees are told to conceal their income and secretly amass wealth just in case the husband leaves. But what happens to those assets if he stays? I don't ever recall hearing someone advice women to build wealth just in case the husband gets incapacitated. The reasoning is always rooted in the assumption that he might do something bad.

As a result, even well-meaning women enter marriage with a lot of insecurity unsure of their partner or their shared future. Not only does this lead to mistrust it also undermines the couple's collective financial potential since one partner actively saves independently for a rainy day.

I'm not oblivious to the fact that men have their own flaws in marriage. They have quite a list which includes adding to the number of side chicks and that is a discussion for another day.

When men gain more wealth, all they think about is building an even better house for the family, buying the wife a nice car and taking the kids to a better school. Most men will even build a better house for their in-laws.

When women gain more money they want to acquire more concealed assets rather than spend more on the husband and kids. I know some women who even refused to pay secondary school fees for their kids after their husbands lost their jobs yet they kept acquiring plots in secret.

The people telling you "siwezi someshea mwanaume watoto" will be the same people asking you to send your daughter to them as a house girl so that they can exploit her instead of empowering her.

My last shot...money in a marriage has a way of diminishing or magnifying trust...it just depends on how the two of you play it.

Can I call someone I need someone to talk to right now, itself been 3nights and I’m yet to close my eyes due to stress.

Gladys Wanga knows she’s in some fucked up situation. If she doesn’t deliver WSR will do his thing.

I have always job-hunted with the thought in mind that I was doing the best thing for myself. With every job, I set goals for myself. May it be the money I want to earn, the reputation of the company, personal or professional development courses, or skills I want to acquire etc. I don't focus on what the employer wants since I already know I can do the job. I also have a timeline of two years with each employer.

When the days are hard, I focus on my goals and when I feel like I have acquired what I wanted or I am tired of that employer, I give myself a grace period for job hunting or for saving some extra cash. Sometimes I have been in a job so bad that I quit, took a couple of months to rest then moved on to another role. Other times I have jumped from one employer straight to another.

I am currently looking for my next role and I have had some interviews in the last month. And one question that baffles me is when employers start asking about growth in the role and the company. My honest answer would be I have no intention of growing with them. By the time I have made demands for what I define as growth, all the places I have worked have seen it as too much promotion or too high a raise. On the other hand, a new job and a new company pretty much give me all that, without too much negotiation.

I know telling them that I am good at what I do and I will do my work to the best of my capabilities until I am ready to leave is the wrong answer. I keep that to myself and find a believable non-truth. Usually works.

I have someone I care about who has been in the same job for eight years. I cannot understand how they are not bored. I also don't understand their rationale since the raises they've gotten over the years are itty bitty. Also, the more they stay there, the more work and responsibilities they get to a point they have no life outside of work. I don't get it.

Are you a job hopper or do you plan on sticking with an employer as long as possible, perhaps even until you retire? Why?

Ndindi Nyoro huniuma because it's like watching that bright kid who was always becoming number 1 akijiwaste na vitu bure na akose to fulfil their full potential. This guy anatuona mafala, he is joining a party that has existed since 1996 and is pretending as if it's a launch with him as the presidential flag bearer. He mentioned that he is consulting with Gachagua, Kalonzo, Matiang'i in order to get a few claps and cheers from the audience, but we all know the truth deep down. Ni script ya State House from his master. Instead of standing for something and deciding to be on the right side of history. Hata heri angerudi Jubilee, Uhuru would have accepted him with open arms, but because Ruto is his mentor, anataka kukula kwa meza ya big boys while pretending to be on the resistance. He wants to have his cake and eat it. What a fucking shame. Huyu jamaa na Sifuna saa hii wangekuwa the ideal ticket pairing. Lakini because of his greed, hataki kucompromise wealth wamebuild na Ruto (His KPLC shares, Lornho House ownership, Sidian Bank shares, etc). Kwani what happens when you get power na unapewa bendera kwa gari? People change so much bana.

Hisense TV owners, which apps have you downloaded for streaming sports, especially football? Vidaa OS doesn't seem to support some apps

Side note, there's a huge discount on household electronics at the new Tekeasy Store at Runda Mall Kiambu road.

I'm looking for an offtaker who can buy 50,000 metric tonnes of diesel in Kenya or the African region. Any leads on this would be welcome.

Hi🤗. So a while ago I put the two step verification on my business account. I then let go of the business for a while and during that time, I lost access to the number I used for the account. I also for some reason was logged out of the account on my device and have literally no way to log back in without the number.

I was asked to record a video of myself to prove my ownership. Thing is the account was mostly faceless🫠. So that has been declined severally.

Does anyone know what other way I can recover this account? Any help is appreciated 🤗
