Guys I just got a really good job and I have no one to tell 💀☠️.

Because when I was down and out everyone left me in the cold. Reddit has been such a safe place for me and a journey. .... I have contributed to people's journeys and others to mine through laughter,venting ....prayers....laughter ...

Yaani 🥲 let me say God is on his way to you too.

I have related to very many posts here....so please, if God amefika kwa mango yangu, wewe uko next. This is my story!

I've seen a concerning number of people online who think Trump winning is a win for Africa and Kenya.

It's not even a win for the US. The man is a convicted felon who ran for president to avoid prosecution.

We have a criminal for a president right here and we want him out. What makes you think Trump is going to improve your (African) life?

Rid yourself of the delusion.

P.S: I saw someone list wins like 'less pronouns' and 'less safe spaces'. You can just visualise those two surviving brain cells colliding in their near vacant head.

You are 1 month postpartum,, You laboured for too long, and ended up having an emergency C's that was done badly( botched).. since a month later there's pus oozing out of the wound, Your nipples are still in pain when you breastfeed, You barely sleep since the baby has to be feed several times in the night( and we know babies cry at night)

And then you tell your man, hey hold this baby I shower, or stay with the baby I get some 30 mins nap, or hey, cook me some cocoa I'm thirsty, Only for him to tell you:

I need to go to the pub to catch up with my friends or football. Oh! And the man has been daily drinking and coming home past 11pm and there's a new born baby in the house.

The hate and the resentment is growing too much. Why are some men like this?.

People who earn 100k+ per month after taxes, what do you do?(legal activities) Coz wueeh. Ni kungori. Moreso people in finance. Ebu tuchanueni tafadhali.

Seven months ago, I started a chicken breeding business in the village while I stayed in the city. I entrusted my mother and farm worker to take care of everything and update me on everything. The business was going well, with at least 50 eggs per day, translating to some good revenue at the end of the month.

Two months ago, my little uncle came to stay at our rural home. By little, I mean he is six years younger than me. Another weird thing about African families: He is Mom's little bro. The guy came and made our home his empire. Of course, big sister spoils him and lets him do whatever he wants, after all, he is their baby.

I didn't mind that until he started eating my eggs. Demolishing 5 eggs per day without my permission. He even sold my cock (the male hen ofc) I confronted him but my dad came to his defense saying he is my uncle I shouldn't mind. He even said what is five eggs as compared to family. Remember it is 5 eggs a day.

Now last week he took a shylock loan and put 10 chickens as security. Luckily the loan guy knows me and gave me the info. I got angry and traveled to the village. On meeting the uncle I served 3 heavy slaps. Piaaassssss..it sounded. To be honest, I enjoyed it while my hand drove into his bubbly cheeks. He tried hitting back but I gave him a WWE-type uppercut and chokeslam. He ran to the house. Now mum was watching from the window and ran outside screaming and charging towards me like an injured buffalo. I had to run.

My dad came 30 minutes later and was so angry. Both parents did not talk to me and the small uncle was indoors till I left the next day. They are not talking till now while I am in the city. Mum auctioned the chicken. Some cousins are on my side and were so happy and told me they got me. My other uncles are indifferent while two aunts promised to give me a proper ass-kicking if they found me anywhere.

Am I cooked or should I apologise?

Edit:

I didn't expect this post to blow up damn. I'll take some advice here. A sibling texted me yesterday and told me I am the most feared bastard in the village now. Seems ass kicking works. I will restart the business elsewhere.

A former classmate of mine from high school just was convincted in 2016 for sleeping with a minor whom apparently everyone had warned him about but he chose to ignore. He used to be a huge guy, loud and arrogant. Not sure how many years he got, butI just met him last week fresh out of prison looking small and thin, bald and doesn't talk much. It looks like prison broke him. I almost didn't recognize him. LESSON: FUCK AROUND FIND OUT

Hoping to collect as many games as i possible can and probably be the biggest game collector in Kenya, i also have digital games from Playstation, Nintendo, Xbox and PC

Some games are missing from the pic.

I'm a lady, so I probably don't have the range to talk about this, but I just witnessed something sad. This guy I know, he's an acquaintance, was at his prime the last three years, and by prime, I mean moneywise. He went on cool vacations, road trips, restaurants, at least from what I could see on his status, and he did all those things with his "crew." He had a mercedes, not sure of the model and a subaru forester that he would switch from time to time. You know, all the "cool" things that young men consider to be a symbol of wealth.

So, unfortunately, things went down very fast last year ikiisha and he sold the two cars, moved to another neighborhood and pretty much lost everything to put it in simple terms. He went into depression and was put on rehab by his fam, but akatolewa two months ago. He had nothing to his name akitoka, and it's even sadder that he didn't have any of the friends he was often seen with, just his family and baby mama. He committed suicide last week and I attended the funeral because his BM is a good friend of mine. Only two of those friends showed up. I've never witnessed a sadder death. The mom was distraught, the dad was visibly weak. Only his family and BM eulogised him on the podium. He was only 30. So, I'm curious, how deep are your friendships? NB: this is not a gender war.

I know this is random guys , but did you know there is alot of movies and tv shows piracy nowerdays to a point that paying for a Netflix subscription seem dumb , i use to pay for Netflix too until i realized it had become too unhinged.

But lucky me i have a variety of choice of movies and shows from my onstream app on my tv,and flexion on my tv also i binge watch every show at an absolutely nothing no penny

If you guys have more piracy tv apps please let me know

Edit: am not encouraging any piracy ,if you can afford to pay for your Netflix well and good

Am 💯 stingy na si tafadhali. Sometimes the pain I went through in college do force me to not pay attention to you chilez. I can just speed along Thika road for no apparent reasons, get into Bluepost hotel, eat, then drive back to Nairobi town kukunywa tu maji.

In College, I was the poor guy within my circle of friends, worst dressed and the mshamba one. Sometimes it would hit so hard more so when people are pimping their social media pages with nice pictures and nice captions, beautiful girls that looked way beyond my league.

Sahii, sitaki hao wanadada, sitaki groupy, sitaki kila kitu. Just me, my money and inner peace.

so jana as my lil mama was sleeping i was watching a movie on her laptop and suddenly i felt the urge to go through her chats . she had logged in on her lappy too . searched for whatsapp and it logged in smoothly little did i know that things wouldnt be flowing smoothly later before anything else i hit a blunt and decided its time . wuue let me tell you maina i was reading the chats ady nastuka the whole time i was just saying wuuue . wuuue wacha kwanza nistuke tena . didnt find much from after we met but before we met heei , the lady amekuliwa ady sim 2 bana . she was sending boobies kila tuesday to people nikama anamark register . the lady is very pretty though wont lie but damn im having second thoughts . within a year shes had like 12 exes bana . What do i do . I cant even look her in the face rn . Shes been trying to turn me on but ata my 10 inch mzee amestuka ameshindwa kuamka bana . What do i do

I envy people who grew up in affectionate homes. Homes where they would sit down, watch a movie together, play board games , chat almost the whole night, hug, talk about their emotions. I am jealous of such people.

Mimi mzae angeingia kwa nyumba heri ujifanye umelala . Otherwise ungepata tu kuna kamakosa ulifanya na ungechapwa vibaya. I grew up in constant fear buana .It messed up with my confidence alot. There was no room for mistakes.I know I'm not the only one who underwent this trauma. Share your experiences. [Watu from affectionate homes kujeni mtupee story tuskie kiwaru.🥲 Wa non-affectionate homes kujeni tulie pamoja🤣]

I used to hear of matharao served to Unemployed people till recently. I've been unemployed for a year now, side hustles here and there, but nothing substantial. I'm a former sales manager in insurance. Wueeh, leo niliitwa lunch by a family friend that is visiting Kenya from the US. He said ati I lack discipline and motivation, and I should be grateful that I've been invited for lunch because he doesn't have time for low a value engagement like mine, he's only offered me lunch because my dad was his good friend. Waah, I've applied to 643 jobs exactly since last year February, 10 interviews, zero offers. I do deliveries, online writing, photography, mjengo, car wash na huyu mzee thinks I'm a lazy man. Got me wondering, what matharao have you experienced as an unemployed person in Kenya? Grace to you and wishing you great blessings as you hustle.

Me btw Niko na swali, you ever thought you had life figured out then it wasn't? My parents had me in their 50s ..barely related with them. My upbringing wasnt as bad, Bora umekula , uko na nguo na uko healthy. In high school, given that walikua wazae, school fees ilikuwa tafash, nikamake sure I'd help with fees ....I became an asset in the school...singefukuzwa chuo juu ya fees, some were even waivered ( I helped the school get to national levels in games and drama) . I knew I wouldn't afford campus, so ata sikujaza hizo university forms ...buut I eventually got a scholarship ya Uon ( 6 years after high school, ya para) but in-between nilijituma kabisa, any scholarship ya colle nilikuwa najoin mbio sana. I was such a "hardworking, focused, go-getter" hizo miaka maze.....ata tei sikua naguza 😂😂 After Campo (2016) sikuget job, nikaanza hustle (one of many) but Kuna vile mzae (rip) kept insisting niandikwe job ...he saw how much I was struggling and always insisted nipate job nitulie kiasi. Hustle after 2020 haikuwaijipa , mzae passed on (my biggest motivator) na sai at 36 nakaa tu failure...yaani, Hadi I moved to a bedsitter and no one knows where I live ( broke and at negative 260k....biashara sio mchezo) Nasaka job, applying everyday....ata internships najaribu. I am the only one in my family with a degree na ndio nimefail kabisa. Sai tei naiskuma kama maji, depressions kibao, mabeste ata nimewatoka juu enyewe things changed between us. I have burnt so many bridges or rather, I walked away from people the moment they started treating and talking to me vibaya.....I cant lose my self esteem to keep unnecessary people, at least not now...so I'd rather stay away. Hii 260k ndio karibu inafanya nifikirie kugo but sitaki kuumiza mathe, she can't bury another child again his year. ...lol my sibling beat me to death ☠️💀. Na msinishow therapy, can't afford 😂😂 I just want to know I am not alone....sio huruma ❤️‍🩹

There is this Luo girl I met in Juja. She didn't look like she had a wonderful life, although a student, her clothes suggested alot more about her living standards at first sight. She had unkempt hair and lived in a single room in Olkarau which wasn't so nice.

The stupidity in me worked around giving her necessary care that did boost her confidence and put her at a fairly good league with other students. Her life changed. I don't have a lot of money, I was just doing simple things that made her stand out unlike the way I found her.

All this time I was really enjoying our conversations. She was amazing, intelligent and supportive- she never discouraged me on anything. She was a friend.

After 6 months or so, I decided to take the friendship to another level. I felt it was the right time. Maina, she rejected me out right without even thinking twice. I felt so sad, weak and extremely out of place. I was already so used to her, so absorbed into her , so much in love. Well, days after that I decided to go quiet just to hide my feelings and disappointment. She went too quiet as well.

She called me last month- that's after 2 years of silence just to check on me. The feelings had long gone but, out of humanity and respect, we continued to talk but without any deep conversations before meeting a week later. She had a baby girl, no job, stressed and hosted by another girl in Kahawa Sukari.

I know in her list, am the egomaniac, the dumbest soul who can some through for her and be left when she pleases. I don't want to tell her that am not the same anymore, more so now that ameniomba 150 ya sapa.

Wacha nianze

1 . Its not you its me

1. Don't worry he is just a friend...and more than a friend he was

2. I need to work on myself hence this relationship cannot go on

Feel free to chip in😂😂

I hate how typical socialites and influencers encourage especially women to make the wrong choices in terms of who we go out with. In this day and age most influencers will encourage you to leave a man when he can’t provide for you . Don’t get me wrong there’s nothing wrong with having a man who provides for you it’s a good thing. But the thing is life isn’t always smooth and sometimes the people we love may want to give us everything we want but be hindered to do that . And in those times it’s good to support them . NB:IM TALKING ABOUT GOOD AND GENEROUS MEN JUU NOT ALL MEN WILL TREAT YOU RIGHT. Also a little side note you all need to stop cheating on your spouses and practice healthy sex fr.I am a medic by profession I’m just from seeing the worst case of HPV if you have mouth sores you probably have contracted(nb i am not saying all mouth sores are hpv but majority are )the virus get it treated fr cause the moment it begins spreading you won’t like it . Anyway i have been seeing my now fiancee for 3 years while we started he was broke last year i was paying all our bills literally everything at the time he was struggling to get a job . One thing Im grateful for is i never listened to my friends who discouraged me from staying with him begging me to leave him .I won’t lie sustaining two people was draining but my future husband was really trying his level best to do better financially.Anyway long story short this year he landed an amazing job and his company started doing really well.he pays all my bills i mean literally all even though i really don’t mind paying for myself he will still pay . I mean he gets me flowers twice a week , gets me a period package literally every month , he cooks my favorite meals he would try to do this even at his lowest and that gave me the strength ya nisimwache .So last week we got engaged you all I cried he gave me an engagement gift of a savings account in which he had saved enough money for my masters education. I always wanted to better my education.He is going to be fully paying and catering for my education. Girls if you find genuinely a good man juu not all are good and if that man is working extra hard to improve his life situation usimwache . Don’t listen to people who tell you to leave good men .Sometimes listen to your heart.

Bwana this is the highest level of security bridge I have ever heard of. Yaani, one governor officer sleeps with 400 VIP women and puts it all on tape. Amekula kila mtu, cousin yake, bibi ya bro, bibi ya best friend ei! Huenda aliuma mpaka first lady na hatuambiwi.

Married women, stay in your marriages. Sasa hiyo aibu yote inapelekwa wapi kwa hiyo nchi. Hata akiuliwa, ashauma, ashauma.

Having worked at 5 jobs now, I learnt from experience that to get jobs in Kenya you have to lie about almost everything when applying and during the interview(even the president was elected based on lies). You have to lie that you've worked at similar jobs, lie about your education levels, experience and anything else necessary to get the job. It doesn't matter whether you can do the job or not. You can always learn on the job after they hire you.l. Most jobs do not even require the skills we learnt in school anyway. You can forge education certs and recommendation letters to match your lies. The end justifies the means. PS: If anyone needs these services, I am your guy.

Okay, so there’s this tired narrative floating around that women are just out here trying to use men for their money. But… which money? How much money are you even talking about? My point is, if you’re not financially stable enough to date, then maybe you shouldn’t be dating. Simple as that.

I’m a 21-year-old woman, I work, I get my own money, and I take care of myself. At the end of the day, I want to date someone who is also financially stable and willing to take on a dominant role. I’m not here to be someone’s mom or provider in a relationship. If you’re one of those guys crying about “gold diggers” and “women only want my money,” ask yourself—what money?

It’s frustrating because, especially in places like Nairobi, men will complain about women wanting standards, but also expect a low-effort hookup with Netflix and chill. It’s not about wanting your wallet; you just want something easy. You don’t want to date—you just want cheap sex with zero effort. Let’s be real.

Be more assertive. If you just want something casual, say that. If you’re not looking for anything serious, say that. As women, we can handle it, and some of us might be down for it, too. But be a grown-up and use your words instead of acting like the world is out to scam you. It’s embarrassing. (Sema tu unataka kuma) 😂

And that entitlement after taking a woman out on a date? Like, you spent some money, and now she owes you sex? NO. I can spoil myself and pay for my own dates. I don’t need you to do it for me—but when you do, don’t act like it comes with a return policy.

Bottom line: Date within your means. If you can’t afford to keep up with someone’s lifestyle, that’s fine. There are women out there who align with what you’re able to provide. Just stop asking us to lower our standards when we’ve worked hard to maintain them.

Also Im not looking for any man to play the role of dad, I have my own YES wazazi wako😂

Ps, If you get triggered you are who Im talking about 😂 peleka makasiriko kwa choo please! 💋

What ruined your life? This is a safe space

Many of you can not relate but this has been a great journey so far. My Journal is happy. I have fulfilled a Oath I took. Courage, Grace and Prayer have helped me reach this far. Blessed be a The Name Of The Most High.

"Imagine being Bill Gates right now.

You spend 30 years of your life and $50 billion of your own dollars supporting humanitarian causes. You directly save hundreds of thousands of lives in South East Asia by providing anti malaria netting to half of a continent, you drop infant mortality rates throughout the entire developing world by funding vaccine programs including vaccinating 40,000,000 children for polio, and, amongst a plethora of philanthropic endeavors, you fund free educational platforms like Khan Academy so people can have free access to high quality education.

Then after donating half of your wealth to charity and pledging 90% of the remainder to charity in your will..

Arguably doing more to better life on earth for humanity than any other human being to ever live.

You then hop on the internet only to find a million scientifically illiterate fucking imbeciles that are using the very computers you pretty much invented in the first place to call you a child murdering arch villian antichrist because they watched a YouTube video made by some other yokel with the comprehension of a fucking potato."
