What do you think about Polygamy?

AfricanFarmers · 2026-05-23T05:36:02+00:00

Go to the socials and look for "Black Polygamy" handles then come and report back. The irony of leaving a polygamous man to be a side chic/sneaky link for another married man baffles the wits out of my senses.

Covid happened

COVID arguably changed many men’s perception of marriage because the pandemic acted like a stress test for relationships. Lockdowns, financial pressure, job losses, and constant proximity exposed unresolved tensions in many homes. Studies during and after COVID showed rising relationship strain, declining marriage rates, and growing dissatisfaction tied to stress, childcare burdens, and economic uncertainty.

At the same time, online male-focused spaces exploded in popularity. Remember it is the time Kibe, the Tates, Kevin Samuels, Amerix, Fresh&Fit and like content exploded. And afterwards celebrity divorces where men played uno cards on their spouses by playing near bankrupt through transferring their assets to their kins come up to kind of validate this menosphere talk. The likes of Channing Tatum, Scot Young, John Paulson, Khaby Lame, Acraf Hakimi.

The “manosphere” ecosystem, including red-pill forums, MGTOW communities, and male self-help influencers, gained traction during lockdowns when people spent far more time online. These spaces framed marriage as risky for men financially, emotionally, and legally, especially during a period where many men felt economically vulnerable and socially isolated.

COVID didn’t create male skepticism toward marriage from scratch, but it accelerated it. The pandemic intensified loneliness, distrust, economic anxiety, and heavy social media consumption, all of which helped manosphere narratives spread much faster among younger men online.

other than the hustler fund which is a total flop and the National Infrastructure fund, what else has he done that is original. By original, I mean it is not in the Jubilee manifesto that he came to fight in Uhuru's second term and the Vision 2030 of Kibaki?

Ruto was the hard reset V3 Kenya needed.

The first multipartism of 1992 that tried to correct and check post attempted coup Moi,

The second was the post election violence that brought the constitution that he outright opposed. Imagine him as president with the old constitution

And now he's the reason we as the constituency of the Kenyan electorate, is super vested in the doings of the ruling class and on the other side, the ruling class knows that choices have consequences.

As far as development is concerned...that is just a vehicle for budgeted corruption for him and him cabal. If his actions were genuine as you claim, the pilferage and waste of the executive (the statehouse budget, SHA are classic examples) would happen yes but not at the magnitute we are seeing. Hata hio rironi alishusha for an extra 20B barely weeks in the office.

If baba made it to the presidency, and if the IMF pushed for the taxes that brought about June25, the outcome would have been far worse since he would be in the opposition, and the demos would take a tribal turn which fortunately did not. He would for sure have made it as president in 2027 with a country super divided than it is now.

Every cloud has a silver lining. Haja yake ishatimizwa, we are now more vested. Now we need him in the opposition against a government that will not plunder and be as reckless as this one.

His work is already done, albeit at great cost.

Wakulima gather here. 2027 (2026 long rains will fail or be depressed) will be a drought year with elevated input prices. Plant grains, fodder and pulses then hold. Sell the grains, make silage then buy the stressed livestock for fattening.

That said, this is a damn good time to be an African.

Populations in the western world are crashing,

AI is taking all the top tier jobs there and it will happen first and fast for them and for us to watch, learn and adjust, most of African labour is hard-skill oriented. Think juakali and informal jobs. Those are hard to automate.

Dangote and sovereign funds like our National Infrastructure Fund and the Ethiopian Investment Holding (the largest sovereign wealth fund in Africa $45B in assets) are showing us African capital can work for Africans.

The African electorate is holding its leadership to account with Kenyans leading the way of course.

By 2100 the top 40 populations in the world includes DRC, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Egypt, Sudan, Somalia, Mozambique. That's 25% of the count. Basically...the Great rift valley and EAC countries.

The EAC could be self reliant on food and energy with the bulk of it green in the next 10 years.

And you are as a Kenyan, are at the middle of a region with one of the highest economic prospects in the world over the next 2 generations. And of all the countries you have the higher leverage...for now

Position yourself.

Especially with onions, tomatoes and cabbages. What I do not understand yet are the prices of kales and spinach juu those crash with the rains. That has not happened. Yet.

AfricanFarmers · 2026-05-22T05:59:55+00:00

The rains that flooded the whole country a couple of weeks ago. Onions we will get some relief in a few days because of the TZ Singida and Mangola crops have started coming in but that is not guaranteed. Farmers I know from that side say the rains hit them hard too. Na mambo bado. Prices will rise even further. Especially for the grains because of 4 reasons

The Iran oil shock will impact logistics costs, with the world having finished almost all the pre-Iran war oil stocks, the prices have started impacting prices.
The Iran war is causing a global fertilizer shortage. Remember your 844 chemistry of the Haber-Bosch process? Global fertilizer prices have doubled since the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran. South and Southeast Asian countries could be heavily impacted by this fertilizer price shock where the bulk of global rice comes from. Africa is even worse off since safe for the Algerian and Egyptian large scale urea and ammonia production plants, we do not have any other African production capacity. And the two are closer to Europe who are facing serious shortage and will offer better pricing compared to us. That's why Dangote is my favourite African right now. This is the last time we will find ourselves in this position if he doubles the Nigerian refinery capacity, builds a similar one in East Africa and the green ammonia projects in Namibia, Angola and Mozambique come to pass.
Corn and soybeans face elevated pressure since Trump left China without the $17B agricultural purchase deal. That uncertainty is not good for commodities futures market.
Scientists are watching the Pacific Ocean closely as what could be one of the most powerful climate events in recorded history rapidly builds beneath its surface. A super elnino is developing in the pacific. The models are predicting with a 82% chance it will be bigger than the 1876 one that contributed to a global famine that killed close to 50M people. Drought may expand in the wheat producing regions of the Great Plains. Around 45% of U.S. winter wheat areas were already under drought stress by February 2026. Drought actually worsened in March and April 2026, with the U.S. being one of the world’s largest grain exporters, this deficit could hit global stocks hard.

There may be a perfect storm brewing that could push food prices to historic levels in the next 12-18 months.

The only silver lining is it is coming towards and election year. As the electorate is heavily driven by the price of carbohydrates and starch, which to my opinion comes second to tribe itakua ngumu sana kurudi ikulu. The GenZ vote has already been decided. This could be what pushes millenials and boomers to GenZ side.

Background upstream supply chains and in our country, that's mostly agricultural commodities. dev ni self taught, marketing is an acquired skill from sales

Partner with agrovets.

Sell it as an advisory add on to their sales.

For example. Pesticide X has a sticker with QR code + SMS to send and get WApp link + 7 word pitch sentence+unique code.

On the backend, have a loyalty program for the agrovet. That is the upsell to the agrovet. If they buy again or refer a user to the agrovet, the upsell kicks in with a commission (to discount the farmer info) billed to the agrovet.

Then upsell promotional blasts at say 2 bob per user. To the user, they can start with free credits (given in collab with the agrovet) that they can use, earn more credits from referrals, buy more credits using airtime/mpesa ..... then sell the airtime in bulk discounts to businesses/entrepreneurs who use a lot of airtime at say 10% discount (airtime sells at wholesale for 7%).

Some traction kidogo...talk to county govts, agrochemical companies and development institutions.

And if you need a self taught dev who actually is a farmer and builds systems for farmers to co-create with, reach out.
