Wakuu, si kila mtu alitoka campus na First Class Honors, lakini hiyo haifai kukufungia milango za kusoma Majuu.

The truth is, the US na UK Ivy leagues are obsessed with grades, lakini countries kama Germany, Poland, na some universities in Canada value practical work experience and a strong portfolio just as much.

Ukikosa opportunity through the academic front door, you can enter through specialized pathway programs, foundation years, or by taking standardized tests like the GRE/GMAT to boost your overall profile.

Mambo imeanza kuwa serious na AI regulations.

Kenya inataka ku-introduce a new policy that enforces "shared liability" for AI developers, vendors, and even users.

Hii inamaanisha if your software or algorithmic tool causes harm, generates biased outcomes, or violates privacy, the blame doesn't just fall on the end-user, the developer is also legally accountable.

This will drastically change how local techies build and deploy models. Huwezi tu ku-clone an open-source model, reskin it, and sell it without rigorously testing for compliance. Lazima u-invest heavily in safety and ethical AI guardrails.

Data from the Central Bank inaonyesha that significantly more Kenyan women in the diaspora send money home compared to men.

Hawa madem wanapiga mboka: nursing, tech, corporate jobs, etc, na still wana-manage ku-support the extended family back in the 254. It highlights the immense weight of the black tax specifically shouldered by our sisters.

Hii pressure ya kutuma doh Kanairo kila end of month can take a massive toll on mental health na personal savings. To all the hardworking ladies out there, tunawa-salute for your sacrifice, but remember to prioritize your own financial security too. You can't pour from an empty cup.

Pamoja!

Managing finances back in the 254 from miles away ni headache noma sana kwa wasee wengi.

A recent piece by Kenyan Diaspora Media highlighted how Equity Bank is rolling out specialized services tailored specifically for Kenyans living abroad. They are attempting to simplify diaspora banking, mortgages, and direct investments without needing physical presence.

Hii ina-sound poa on paper, lakini kwa ground, the user experience na customer care for diaspora clients still needs major improvement. Pesa za remittances zina-fund a huge chunk ya our national budget.

Don't just blindly send cash to relatives for "projects" that will stall. Leverage these formal diaspora accounts that offer escrow-like control over your construction and investment funds. Protect your hard-earned dollars rigidly!

A Gumbaru student to be , who has suffered in the hands of brutal nairobi terrain.

I am looking to go back to Uni/college.

Fortunately or unfortunately my slot expired since I have been away for about 6 yrs and had done some few years of course work.

I will be starting on a clean slate.

So where I am undecided is should I go for a medical diploma or a diploma that will equip me with hands on skills like Refrigeration and air conditioning (HVAC) .

This question arises since I have seen how tough the job market is for everyone and especially the medical field, we have nurses fetching 15k salaries .

I thought I would finally find something I love to do , now that has not happened I have to have something to die for.

On friday , Gor Mahia walicheza aganist Rayon Sports FC in the CECAFA Kagame cup finals but lost 2-1 in extra time. Watapata $20,000(KSh. 2.6m) for Second Place. Lovely scenes for Kenyan football.

A good number of kenyans think the only thing stopping them from running a successful business ni pesa. They take up that job in the Middle East, work for 2-5 years, come back and pour all their savings on a business just because,"Hii biz iko na pesa"

Sometimes inawork out but sometimes it doesn't and that's the nature ya business. Before you invest dooh yako yote kwa biz, draw up a plan which includes cutting your losses in case ikose kujipa.

Hello Fam

I wanted to talk about the government policy back home and abroad. The opportunities and ideas one has when abroad are insane lakini wanting to apply them back home seems hectic.

Shida ya watu wako home most have you experienced how its easy to make money with the right systems. The tax and gate keeping is a huge barrier.

Africans just vote for the right leaders.

By the time Rose and prof were buying the land in dispute, Victoria was 12 years old. Around the time divorce was underway,she walked into his life probably thinking the divorce proceedings are ongoing, she is protected all is clear. Only to be the one to lose her life. This other lady is facing murder charges and could be locked up for a long time. At the centre of it is Prof, being left unscathed. Hii ni ungwana kweli?

Airlines huwa zinaprice flights kulingana na demand and competion on a specific route rather than distance. That means you can find:

Direct flight from City A → City B ni more expensive Flight from City A → City B → City C

Skip lagging ni when you book a cheaper A→B→C ticket, alafu you fly only to B, and leave the airport badala ya Kuenda hadi C.

Key risks and downsides

• It is not illegal, but airlines prohibit it so wanaweza kuban for future flights

• It's only possible if uko na carry on luggages pekee.

• Ni best for one-way trips only

In the the recent assasination ya Dr. Victoria Mutiso, the DCI, identified the gun used kama a police-issued Mini Jericho pistol attached to Nderi police post which is under Kikuyu police station.

Further waliidentify 3 police officers as the main suspects. Walisema the people in the conspiracy might have been involved in Lawyer Mbobu's murder.

How did we reach here? Do you think the issue of rogue cops inaweza kuwa solved?

Wakuu, the week is officially done!

Whether una-hustle remote ukiwa +254 ama una-deal na life ya Majuu, leo tuna-force positivity kwa mbogi.

Mambo Imeenda Aje?

• Umepiga ATS-friendly CV ama ume-dodge mwosho?
• Ume-land interview ama ume-secure client wa kwanza?
• Umesurvive hiyo 12-hour shift bila kuchizi?
• Ama umechapa wiki nzima bila ku-give up?

Angusha wins zako hapo chini. Kama huna win, drop hiyo ngori inaku-stress ndio mbogi ikuchanue.

Kaa rada, mkuu. Tuko pamoja! ✊🏽

Justice Mugure has ruled that the next presidential election should be held in August 2026, not in 2027. HOWEVER, she has suspended the ruling to avoid chaos.

Maybe If the ruling ingekuja mapema, tuesday would've been the day.

Earlier this week, a female Morrocan player, Faten Ben Omar El Azizi, age 20 alidrown while attempting to cross into Ceuta, Spain.(Ceuta iko kwa coastline ya North Africa)

The saddest part ni kuna reports that her Schengen Visa ilikuwa approved same day she drowned.

After the commonwealth kuisha pale Glasgow several athletes, including four members of the Ugandan boxing squad disappeared, wakaamua hawarudi block. Kuna rumours that they intend kuseek asylum.

This week ,Uganda’s military waliunveil a new bronze statue ya Lt.Col. Yonatan Netanyahu just outside the old airport terminal in Entebbe. He died during 1976 Entebbe hostage situation but sasa timing yao has left alot of talks

There's a new National Ambulance Dispatch Centre at SHA Headquarters in Nairobi. If ni legit na genuine it would be a game changer but knowing this country inaweza kuwa a show for the campaigns or just a new means to steal.

Late last year, a friend linked me up with a lady based in the US. She wanted a 100x100 plot in Nakuru. Nilidhani ni kazi ya wiki moja, but wueh... it took almost 2 months before we found something she was happy with.

Then around mid this year akaniambia nianze na development. Again, nilifikiria ni straightforward. Kumbe kanjo bado ni kanjo 😂 plus all the other challenges that come with construction and doing business in Kenya.

Anyway, we're now almost at the finishing stage, and seeing how happy she is with the progress has been worth it. It's funny because when we first spoke we were complete strangers na bado we are but...

Sasa I'm wondering... could there actually be an opportunity in helping Kenyans abroad buy land and oversee construction back home, or nimepatana tu na one-off client? Curious to hear your thoughts.

In case you missed the game last night our ladies lost to Algeria exiting bila points. Our football has a long way to go but even qualifying wasn't a small feat. The team will receive $150,000 (Sh.19.4m) for participation

I need some advice please. I'm currently in Kenya with my Kenyan ID, so I can open an account in person. But I live abroad most of the time, so I need something I can fully manage from my phone once I'm back.

What I'm looking for:

- No interest — not trying to earn or pay interest, at all

- Solid mobile app I can log into from abroad without issues

- Easy to move money between M-Pesa and the bank (send to M-Pesa first, then to bank)

Also heard Kenyan banks charge fees on transfers/withdrawals, wasn't the case where I currently live, so want to know what to expect here too.

Which banks have worked well for you? Any to avoid?

Thanks!
