I intend to question differently, maybe better? The only thing that is temporary is your life, not your actions! Heaven knows I’m a mess. My views. #bio

One thing I observe around Africa, compared to what I see in Europe, is that my people are addicted to launching flashy new projects. We don't spend nearly enough time on the dirty, unglamorous work of operations and maintenance (O&M).
You can't really launch maintenance, and that's a problem for many African leaders. There are no ribbon-cutting ceremonies or big headlines. Yet that's where so much of the work should be happening. We need to get better at maintaining what we've already built.
The question is, how do we make maintenance sexy?
We are convened at urban gate
Chapo, matoke, groundnuts have moved, I post to record the women in my life. They make everything gentler, the gents still did the butchering, but the ladies made the day.
Free urban banter the entire commune is settled. Karibu wanioshe, considering I was under medication and unresponsive, I am informed that my friend said no, to preserve my dignity. A lot happens in 15 hours, but it also means the men & women we leave in charge must carry fort
we kept my grandfathers dala absolutely alcohol free, but when the community meets, there is a small libation, in fact my grandmother () brews a concoction that is true.
Alcoholism is a bigger issue, but alcohol always makes a meet up better. GO fight other things
This is also to say, I am fine.
To the few who reached out, niko on.
It might not be ops normal for a while as we figure out what happened or is happening, but we adjust.
ECG was reading fatality. I was indeed in pain, still in pain but the doctors have reassured me
This quoted post is unavailable.
I keep a very strict standard at urban gate.
I trust team leader. everything and everyone is recorded. We have planted the great joys, december nitawasumbua mchukue managu, and in March mchukue cassava.
My entrusted colleague, the level of giving up I am doing might scare my ancestors.
The level of waol will scare even that greek who was pushing a rock
FUrther reminded a reason the lion of embakasi gets a lot right.
They even at 2am had ops to call full replacement and gear was dispatched. mimi siko huko, but ile team pale wameshinda.
I am reminded of one day when I called in sick in MUmbai
The entire crew walked to my hotel room to see if I was okay
Nikaambiwa ni 'indian fever' but granted I had walked the streets of Mumbai. I have never been sick like that, but duty is what I mention. We must do our duty
yes, we still ate mandazi.
Yes we are still doing garden work.
I am just disgusted that someone I trusted stole from me.
Wacha the courts figure him out, this was not how today was to go, but consequences must be served.
I learned the hard way that those who come into my presence are well formed people you can trust.
Tumeamka sasa to do some land scaping and pour manure, I find that the entire store is lost. Slashers, pangas, jembe, haziko. I review the camera, it was a team member.
Thieves disgust me.
I run a cordial operation, hata ukitaka 1 million, we can seat and figure out how to raise it.
Sasa huyu kijana anatuibia panga na slasher... yet he is fully paid. He is just stealing, plunder for the sake of it, I wish it was even to fund a habit. klepto.
Si jokes.
Whoever is in charge can fail generations by their actions or inactions, tujipate huku mbele tukijiokota tukishangaa nani ametuangusha yet it is just men and women who did not realize that office comes with task. That the purse is for all, it must be managed for all.
is it becoming a point that many blue badged are unhinged personalities commenting to muddy the waters?
Is the algo so convoluted that I must interact with such idiotic takes?
There is nothing wrong with takeoff procedure. There is no struggle to take flight, wewe ni mjinga tu
We do many things.
But to have a community that supports us, willing to listen to us as we listen to them...
To understand when we must stand as one and even when we fight it is to beat nonsense out.
This morning reinforces that.
We are going to be alright.
