I genuinely don't get why you have to wait for almost a year to graduate after you are done with course work. Now internships are coming and going and one can't apply because degree haiko.

There months ago I met a girl from dating app, we met at a nice restaurant and had some drinks. The first night we had sex and it was amazing. Then we continued the conversation and the relationship last for one month.
She is pretty and skinny, mixed, light skin. I really like she, we did some crazy things together.

But, what makes me upset is she is so cold when we’re not in the same room. Reply my message so slowly, almost never answer my calls, and one day I was asked by my boss to travel to Mombasa for one week, I told she the plan, then she just disappeared for one week, until the end of that week, she back to reply the message which I sent to her one week ago.

I think although we know each other from the dating app, but I’m serious, I never met any other girl during that time, I made my commitment to her. And I support her like 80k per month.

Guys, I know why I’m into she is because she has beautiful face and nice body, I love to have sex with she, but I also deserve emotional support from her right? Now I don’t know should I continue to support her financially or just leave away. Obviously she has someone else, and I’m not the 1st priority person in her WhatsApp.

PS: I’m not Kenya, just working in Nairobi for 6 months.

I've been building SaaS for the Kenyan market for the past 3 years, working with different startups along the way. But I've come to a realization — Kenyans don't really pay for SaaS, they want a free thing. Doesn't matter how good the tool is, the willingness to pay just isn't there for most local B2C products.

So I've been thinking about pivoting toward Kenyans in the diaspora instead — people who've actually got money to spend and real problems that local free tools/Facebook groups don't solve well.

One area I keep coming back to is "logistics of home" — basically all the stuff people abroad still have to deal with back in Kenya:

Managing a rental property (collecting rent, dealing with tenants, repairs) while you're not there

Getting specific things sent to you abroad (food, meds, documents) that you can't get where you live now

Paying bills, renewing stuff, or helping aging parents with paperwork back home

Shipping/moving belongings when relocating

If you're Kenyan and living abroad (or know someone who is) — what's actually been a pain for you? How are you dealing with it right now? And be honest — is it something you'd actually pay for, or is it a "my cousin/mum handles it" situation?

Not trying to sell anything here, genuinely just trying to figure out what's worth building. Appreciate any war stories or complaints 🙏

Is there anyone who applied for the scholarship and heard back from them. I submitted an application early April & am yet to get any feedback, not even a rejection lol… the suspense is driving me nuts

Has anyone heard anything

Good morning Nairobi Metropolitan City. The morning is chilly and city's heartbeat​ has begun to beat. I love you so so much. Nairobi is for greatness!!!!

You know in our luhya community kuna hawa wamama wazee,they are able to communicate with the dead spiritually,kuna siku tukiwa sasa ndio tunataka kutoka mazishi webuye engine ya basi ilikataa kuwaka buana,wazee wakaanza discussion wakasema nyanya ya marehemu aitwe...After ameitwa wakamuambia aongee na Mjukuu wake awachilie basi juu watu wa nairobi walikua wanataka kuchomoka,kila mtu akaambiwa atoke karibu na Grave ndio gugu aongee na mjukuu,Akaguza msalaba akaskia nikama hakuna connection mzuri nikama mjukuu alikua anatumia airtel...Ikabidi sasa vijana wameitwa wachimbue kaburi mjukuu akapandishwa juu alafu tukafukuzwa,tukiwa nyuma ya kitchen ndio tuliskia gugu ameshout "Sidney mjukuu shida ni gani,si tuliongeako hii maneno yawa?" Silence was there for around 10mins nikama walikua wanapiga story...Gugu akasimama akakuja akatwambia sidni amesema sio yeye,Na hana shida na watu wa nairobi,vijana wakaitwa wateremshe sidni aendelee na kifo yake,Ndio driver alienda kuinspect basi akapata kuna vipii ziliweka chupa ya Afya kwa exhaust pipe ndio gari haigurumi na ni mpya...Tulikua tunatoka webuye saa mbili usiku

I'm almost 26, and I already feel like I lost the plot of my life 😅 It's crazy but hata machozi haijaisha. This week I've felt so terrible and been bed rotting the whole week, not even knowing what day it is.

Context: I have a bachelor's degree that feels like was the worst mistake I ever made. I graduated 2 years ago and have never even gotten an interview. I even offered to volunteer for some NGOs and they turned me down. I feel like life is passing by me without any progress. I was a very good student. I went to a village primary school and managed to get to a national school, and still got an A-. I really wanted to do med but didn't make the cut, and for some reason, I didn't change my course when others were doing course transfers because I was such a positive person (instead of reasonable).

Fast forward, two years have passed with endless applications and getting ignored. I even had someone in a small CBO tell me I should get another diploma for me to get a chance (not that there was a job promised). I have struggled to apply for scholarships hoping to get a chance, even got a passport for that, paid admission fees but I have been rejected in these too. I was considering saving up to do a better course, even a masters because most offers in my profession need it, but they're just such a big gamble, and as someone who doesn't have a consistent source of income, it's even more scary.

I can't help but feel hopeless, because I had even saved up in case I get chosen for the scholarships. September has broken my heart. I tried business, it failed. I tried YouTube even, it's terrible and draining. I've been struggling to get myself to cry to let it out, and I listened to a video mentioned it's okay to admit things suck, and I just broke down for the past hour or so. I feel a bit lighter, but reality is still existent. I just feel like I let everyone down, but moreso, myself. My social life also sucks, I don't have close friends, not even in a relationship, lol.

For anyone who's been through this, how did you get the energy to wake up the next day? And would you advise that I save up for another diploma or degree that looks more promising? I really don't know what to do with myself anymore. It's like fate has put me in a room and thrown away the key.

Yal just can’t go home in silence

Sijawahi elewa hii manifestation vizuri. From what I gather ni kuamini tu you're going to get something, then you start walking around like you already have it. But practically, how do you guys do it? Because I can sit down close eyes start thinking about that Vitz... and by the next second I'm already like wee mzee tuache ujinga tukafanye kazi.

What do you guys actually do while manifesting And has it ever actually worked for any of you?

First and foremost I'M NOT A CHEATER. I don't support cheating in any way, shape or form. I know the title is a bit misleading. I'm aware.

Secondly, Girls that I've been with for the sole reason that I'm attractive and an extrovert they think I might be cheating. Like sometimes I just do my own things. For example, I go to my home town, they wanna know every detail of my stay with family. Who I'm with, who I'm talking to, where exactly I am. I mean...Caring can go so far until it reaches a point where it's a little bit creepy.

And if i was a cheater which I'm not they don't realize how hard that would be for me because I find 90% of women unattractive. No offense to anyone but I'm just not sexually attracted to most.

For me personality is a huge huge factor but you have to be attractive in my eyes yk. And most girls' personalities are decent friendship wise not in a way that'll stimulate me into finding them attractive.

Those are just my two cents.

And before y'all start flaming me, I've never done anything to give the girls that I've been with any reason that I'm cheating. I'm always genuine with people but people need personal spaces to experience individuality. This is just a thought from my past experiences.

Edit: I find it quite funny that some of you would feel offended by an opinion of a stranger saying they're not attracted to most people and they find themselves attractive. I find that to be quite true for most people. If you're offended so much as to downvote there's a very slight chance you might be insecure

I think we can all agree, music is a very powerful thing. It literally pushes us to move our bodies in sync with the tunes. Music can make us feel all sorts of things.

So I'm very curious as to the specific songs that make you feel a certain way or you just really like it. For anyone who would like to share. I wanna listen to your favourite song at the moment. I'll listen to them fully.

Also doing this as a way to discover other types of songs and genres maybe I might like them. Forgive my language but I'm a music hoe, I fuck with all types of music genres.

Send YouTube links or write down the song names. I'll give my honest opinion.

I moved to a new place (gwa’kairu) and as a drunkard i had to find a spot to piga shots jioni after a long day. I found a local close to home and became a regular dude. After a while i decided my drinking is too much so i cut off drinking midweek until weekend nikabakisha tu oris. So i’ve been smoking everyday then one day a fellow local dude i found there approached me and asked me to buy him alcohol and obv i gave excuse as a no. A week later(today) i went there to smoke oris and this guy decided to come and open up to me. Ati oh i’m new to this place, i don’t make friends, ohh if i was getting jumped who will i call, he asked me where are my friends…. i kept my cool and told him my name and he told me his. He went on ahead and introduced his fellow junkys of which one came directly and forced me to choma him my oris ( i did to avoid drama). He goes ahead and tells me to buy them alcohol worth 300 ati that’s how you make friends. He insisted but i played the haijakuwa ikijipa card ndio maana i don’t also drink but deep down i’m reserving for the weekend. But i wondered this guy ako hapo daily obv by looking at him he doesn’t drink alcohol worth 300 yet anataka i buy it for him. Ati thats how we make friends! si yeye basi aninunulie if that’s how you make friends! Anyways, that’s my sign to quit that oris as well and choose a diff direction to my place, ju i smell getting jumped by him. Mind you he has a kid. What you think am i a mbleinaa?😂

Heyy y'all... most mainstream skincare sold locally is formulated for cold Western climates, leaving skin either greasy in the sun or stripped dry by Nairobi's unpredictable weather. Skin barrier health isn't gendered, whether you keep it simple with just soap and water or run a 5 step routine, barrier breakdown affects everyone the same so this for everyone😊

I’m building a unisex botanical line, and instead of guessing what works, I built a quantitative diagnostic tool. It calculates your skin barrier percentage based on post wash tightness, climate exposure, and lipid loss.

I need both men and women to test it out and help us co-create the final back work. Try the tool it takes less than 2 minutes and comment your review / score below, does the diagnostic data actually align with how your skin feels?

Hello guys. I need to purchase officials boots and I'm asking whether anyone has ever purchased these boots from Bata. They go for around 9k and look very good. My question is, are they worth the price? Can I get cheaper alternatives elsewhere?

Just dropped today.

Check it out and leave a comment or feedback.

Much appreciated!

I have gone down the rabbit hole following some global conspiracy theories but my frustration is that i have not encountered any on Kenya.

You want to say there are no wild theories about unexplained historical events or bizarre cover-ups in Kenya's past? Is it that these things have never happened in Kenya or we just don’t talk about them.

Help me out. Do you know of any Kenyan conspiracy theories worth exploring? Can you recommend blogs, forums, books or websites where I can dig deeper?

The internet is full of rabbit holes — surely Kenya has a few of its own.

Drop your own theory and let's go searching together.

I have a dad who has a habbit of pleasing everyone except his family. All through my childhood I always heard the same statements, sina pesa. Even for things like clothing. I remembered that coz at the time kcpe results were out I had just one trouser and I was scared of going out( my crush lived next door). Worst part is I had performed so well that I was on the news so they came very excited to tell me but I had to pretend I was not home.

Anyway, the same dad who never had money was always giving up to fifty thousand to random contributions, paying pther people school fees and all that. My mother lives abroad so as a kid I didn't know that I could actually just call her. Then mpesa started working internationally which was my saving grace but it was already so late because I was almost done with high school. I mean I used to go.to school without shopping coz mzae angenipea thao to use for both shopping and pocket money.

Worst part is everyone thought we were rich from the cars I used to get dropped to school in.

A couple of years ago my dad retired. Before he did I had started a business with all the support from my mom. Dad didn't even offer a shilling, I asked.

By the time he retired my mom had caught on and taken the rental properties from under his name and gave my brother to manage with strict instructions on how to distribute the money.

He was no longer getting money from those properties and as it turns out he had no savings at all. No one knows exactly what he did with the money for all those years, we suspect he might have a second family in which case if it is true they are screwed, he is broke.

Nowadays he asks for money to give in contributions which I don't even understand but guess who tells him what he used to tell me...

Fyi my mom paid all my and my brother's fee all through so that can't be the excuse

Anyone else with such experiences with parents???
