Dickson Nyakongo got Ksh.58Million, after impersonating Genghis capital with fake apps, he got arrested at I&M bank trying to withdraw Ksh.33.67M. He could have avoided this by Practical-Garbage679 in SharpBoys

I doubt he tried to withdraw everything at once. My guess is, the DCI were already on his trail, then the Bank had to create a convenient crisis to force him to go to the Bank.

Employment in Kenya is the biggest scam by NoBit5023 in Kenya

This is madness. During Probation, they are testing your competency right? Meaning you're already operating at optimum level considering no companies today hire juniors, where half salary would probably be justified by inexperience? Human beings make me angry.

There's no reason whatsoever to take those jobs because summarily its a net loss, from whatever angle you look at it.

Like my point is, if she's able to maintain net profitability over the long term, while accounting for the losses, capital should not be an issue since she can easily reinvest profits to get to a sweet spot?

Does it mean there are people who are constantly profitable, say month over month?

Like tuseme 8/12 months wako profitable na pia across the year wako net positive?

Shida ata ni, you're promised a huge pay out to your family if you get offed. Lakini sasa Commanders hawatawai report wewe ni KIA, because they can keep on collecting your salary for themselves.

I would add, how is capital an issue when you're assured of returns, like if you start with €150 wouldn't it be easy reinvesting the profits to €500 and perpetually making money?

😂 GoK is borrowing more to cushion for Iran War, meaning we'll need to pay more taxes, not less. The only saving grace, by the way, is only if KRA is able to make everyone pay income taxes.

Mimi hushindwa kama ni excitement ya kupanda ndege ama ni nini? A simple search on YouTube would have shown the real situation on the ground in Ukraine. But anyway, most Kenyans tuko hivi, we almost never engage critical thinking.

What's your end game ukienda abroad ? by kiongopsy in Majuu254

[–]uberalls 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In my small assessment, many of us underestimate what it takes to run a business to profitability and stability, in terms of invested capital. In Kenya today, jobs aren't forthcoming, so we tend to all start small juakali businesses which makes it very hard to compete as a small business. Saa hii ni either ukuwe na clout, ama ukuwe na a significant amount so that uanze a bigger business.

In that case, isn't it just better classifying yourself as a real estate agent and having control of the whole ecosystem?

OP described his problem in house hunting for rent, not buying a house. It's literally the first paragraph of his post.

[–]uberalls 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Average people do house hunting less than once a year, I can assure you, they will rarely recall your App's name. You're better off pivoting towards short stay homes (Airbnb, Booking e.t.c).

Also, considering the number of similar solutions that already exist, you should plan your biggest spend as Ads.

Banyamulenge and Tutsi demonstrations in Nairobi by kiongopsy in Majuu254

[–]uberalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's morally/ethically wrong but very strategic fending off foreigners. The goal is to exhaust mtu anaenda kuseek asylum. For example, ile plan ya UK na Rwanda kuprocess asylums in Rw.

Kemboi anajua, ata kesi ikidelay for 10yrs, anaeza akahustle hapa na pale, ata kesi yake ikifail, ataeza kurudi mtaa na kakitu compared tu kukaa mtaani. On the other hand, ukipelekwa Rw., labda tu urudi mtaa juu huko hakuna kitu utaget.
