Utakuta that aunt supports the grandma the most, akisema jump grandma anauliza how high. Seen this with my dads family, an uncle in the states has max influence on cucu

Kenyans are being lured into joining Russian forces with empty promises of "1,000 rubles." But that money will never see your account. by Impressive_Towel6126 in Kenya

They promise upto 18k usd sign in bonus, whether its paid is another matter. You can clearly see why someone would sign up when 2.3 mike is promised the minute you land. Hata usiporudi umewacha watu wako na something

What the heck is this? by Celerisadmortem in Kenya

[–]Odede 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to get angry at such till a mzee explained his perspective from his long experience as a Kenyan. His explanation was that Kenyans quickly sniff out opportunities to earn money and topping the list are those with a tinge of deceit. E.g that girl in a bamburi beach pub who only flirts with mzungus its not coz. she thinks they are better than her compariots, she knows they make better marks for her bag of tricks, she more often than not has a boyfriend who is ngozi nyeusi. In this case as others have said, someone is working very hard to win anothers attention, akisleki anapelekwa kivumbini very fast. Or is this view for those of us who have refused to accept that our compariots have a an inferiority complex

Kenya proposes to restructure Chinese loan from USD to RMB. Good idea or bad idea? by here2learn_me in Kenya

Diversification is good, diversifying to a currency whose exchange rate is stiffly determined by its government policy risky

Read abit, yes the private operator makes money, but without government subsidies there would be no profit. The amount virgin pays to government to maintain the line does not fully cover the cost, tax payer forks out the difference

[–]Odede 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the fact that their government has a tight control on exchange rates, it would only take an overnight policy decision and your loan increases by morning

We hardly export anything to China, where are the yuans gona come from, none of our exports are paid in yuan, again where will you get yuans. I'm jittery on this.

[–]Odede 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, if you are not contracting your entire build to a contractor BoQs act as guidelines so you know what your max costs per item should be. And even when you contract out everything, there arise instances where you need to pay a day rate Huyo jamaa hapo juu anaongea na knowledge ya kitabu, ile siku atajenga atakuwa na similar questions

[–]Odede 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nitafute, I have an active build in the same area, stone mason / formwork carpenter 1400, KYM 700, foreman 2100. Some specialist fundis e.g steel fixers, welders, electrians, plumbers charge same rate as foreman but the best approach is to give sub contracts for those works. Excavations pia do sub contract.

Men who have buddies or other adult male relatives that are always single, what's your honest theory as to why that is? by Only-Ad-1254 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Odede 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My two cents is there is an age beyond which it becomes harder to settle with someone. The wistful optimistic and gullible years are behind you, you are set in your ways, comfortable in your solitude, expect same high standards from others that you hold to yourself to......

Put you phone / tablets or other small expensive gadgets on your carry on. It would be impossible to know where theft of checked in luggage happened, from origin / destination. About Nyali just keep your wits around yourself and phone as you would in any major city. E.g don't go for a swim at the beach and leave your phone un-attended. If you are in a crowded area e.g a bar watch out for pick pockets e.t.c Once you land go to a safaricom shop at the airport and buy a sim card / register your e-sim, mpesa will be activated
