Why The Poor Will Remain Poor In Kenya
Getting rich in kenya if you come from a humble background is like climbing mount Everest without resources to facilitate the journey. It is close to impossible for a poor person to become rich in kenya.
The root problem
In my observation, the leading problem affecting our economy is the lack of appropriate education.
The education curriculum in Kenya and around the world is still built on traditional and outdated concepts that fail to impart its learners with the necessary knowledge and skills crucial to dealing with the fast pacing changing times within the contemporary society.
Other problems
Many people will continue blaming the world but what we forget is that corruption is here to stay and corrupt people have and will remain being the order of the day. Main causes of poverty will not be eradicated by blaming the government. What is daunting is the fact that appointing leaders with integrity is not happening any soon in Kenya and Africa in general.
Bad leadership in Kenya
Yes, bad leadership is also a major problem as to why the poor continue suffering while the rich continue getting richer.
Forget what you learnt in school
As the subtitle suggests, forget what you learnt in school, its close to useless out here. Many people who failed in school are succeeding out here compared to those that passed with flying colors. Don’t get me wrong, its my observation and I’m certain you will second me. This is not to say that school wasn’t or isn’t important, what I meant is that many things that we were taught in class are not practical in the current world.
I earlier said that the educational curriculum in Kenya is not working since its built on traditional and conventional methods that are not practical. Many parents pressure their children to study with the hope that they will get decent jobs after graduating but that’s not the case. The rate of unemployment is very high in Kenya and that is why you will find many graduates in the streets doing jobs that they shouldn’t be doing.
Have you ever asked yourself why? For me its simple, people and especially the youth were fed with the notion of living a decent life has to come by being employed which shouldn’t be the case. Many people in kenya and especially graduates waste a lot of there time tarmacking hoping to be employed in a big company.
Things would have been quite better if people would have been told the truth. Education garnered from school is not the root of wealth or rather a good life. The only purpose of education was to inform, discipline, guide and provide exposure for networking. Education is not a ticket to a good employment. therefore, if you eliminate employment, you will find many graduates doing great things that they have never even thought of in the past.

Why Kenyan Music Industry Has Been Stagnating For a Long Time
Do you remember when Ogopa DJs recording label was still active in the Kenyan Music Industry? Do you remember when Calif Records came on board?, then there was real competition within the music industry.
I remember when Mr Lenny was the king of collabo popularly known for his memorable and soothing hooks. During the time, Kenyan music was very interesting and couldn’t even be compared with any music in the entire continent.
At the time, I used to turn on my radio, change my channel to KBC and listen to boomba train by Nameless and the late E-sir, man those songs were dope.
Where did things start going south?
Pointing a specific point in time when Kenyan music started losing originally, quality and creativity is not possible. However, we can try and identify the last good songs by Kenyan musicians.
Do you agree with me that the time when Grandpa came on board within the Kenyan Music Industry is when we reached the highest level Kenyan music has ever reached and its the time when the industry started taking a downside turn. Since the end of Grandpa records, Kenyan music has never been stable. Keep in mind this is my personal research and opinion thus not the opinions of Ctone Media as a whole.
Why E-sir’s sound remains remarkable
Among Kenyan artists who have remained relevant for a long time even after their demise is Issah Mmari Wangui popularly known as E-sir.
Why Sauti Sol Remains relevant
Pay close attention and youll not that the position that Sauti Sol holds within the music industry has never changed since they started off.
Is Kenyan Music Industry Revivable?
Yes it is.

Is There Such Thing As Mr. Right/Miss Right?
A question should always have an answer and if it doesn’t then don’t trust it. This applies in everything, even Love and Relationships. Maybe the right ones don’t exist, what I’m sure of Mr. Right and Miss Right can be molded. Let’s be realistic, if there is Mr. Right and miss right, how do you know they are the ones
How many admirable relationships have had a bad ending that you’ve witnessed, I am sure they are many. So many that you might not even be able to count. If you doubting then ask around. Maybe, Mr. and Miss Right only exist for certain moments in life but not forever.
However, if you find yours and you live happily ever after, then consider it luck maybe fate or let’s say destiny, yes, people can be destined to be together forever but as we all know Mr. and miss right are supposed to be Romeo’s and Juliet’s people who are ready to die for you and will never wish to do anything bad to you but do they exist, if you say yes you are a liar, in fact a big LIAR.
Let’s take a different view, for instance there is Mr. Right or miss right, are you sure there are no others just like them only that you found him or her and failed to look further.
Every time you look further you will always find another Mr. or miss right trust me. It’s just that you chose this one but that doesn’t make them Mr. or miss right simply the right one. This is why I always say Love and Relationships are f***ed up if you excuse my language.
So, my advice is, when you find someone you thing is good for you, better them to fit your ideal Mr. or Miss Right. Bye. Leave your comment below.

Comedian YY Introduces Wife and Newly Born Baby to the Limelight (PHOTOS)
Comedian YY has been keeping his relationship life in the dark for the longest time. However, he recently decided to show the world his other side by introducing a newly born baby bouncing daughter and his wife by the name Marya.
Through his Instagram page, he posted a lovely photo of his wife pregnant. We later came to the realization that Marya had already given birth by the time YY was posting her baby bump’s photo.
Daughter’s Name
During a recent interview with SPM Buzz YY whose real name is Oliver Otieno went ahead to reveal his daughters name:
”She’s Circe Gaona. First of all, I don’t even want her to get a sir name from me. I want to cut the tribal code… Yeye pia akiendelea mbele akizaa mtoto, tuachane na hii tribal profiling” said YY.
Comedian YY interview with SPM BUZZ
The name is inspired by YY’s love for Mexican films.
While celebrating his wife Marya for making him a dad, the comedian wrote:
”The mother to the daughter of a King… stronger than a Moissanite…I would have played you a song but you holding my guitar in your hand…I can’t tell you enough how much I honour your selflessness…Thank you for pushing….I want you to choose a destination you would love to visit..na isikuwe nje ya Nairobi please ni January.”

Can Money Buy Happiness?
When asked the question “can money buy happiness?” many will hesitate before saying yes. Indeed, money has evolved into being something very valuable especially within the contemporary society. I mean, who doesn’t want to get rich? I want to be rich and I believe your feelings and mine regarding money are mutual. Recent studies have found a correlation between money and happiness. However, that is not all, a substantive body of research has also confirmed that money can raise the level of happiness to a certain point. Therefore, it is appropriate to not that even though money can buy happiness, it is appropriate to note that money cannot buy money entirely but only to a certain point.
When a person lands a deal worth a ton of money, they get excited and happiness is the outcome. Also, when your salary is raised, a smile is always expected meaning money has a direct correlation with happiness. However, concluding that money can buy happiness will be a subjective form of thinking and conclusion. This is a form of hasty generalization that many people have fallen victims. What many people fail to incorporate in their thinking is that money raises standards and with higher standards comes new and more responsibilities. Due to these additional responsibilities, money will always not be enough and that is why richest people are the ones waking up in the wee hours of the morning to look for more money.
Recently, the US Congress voted to pass the bill on stimulus. In March this year, the president, Joe Biden signed a stimulus package in an effort to mitigate the fallout from the COVID-19 and help the economy grow. According to an article by financial times, the stimulus package includes a new round of means tested direct payments of up to $1,400 for American adults, a weekly top up to $300 in federal unemployment benefits and $350 billion to help the state and local government and expanding tax credits for children.
Even though the bill passed, it is worth noting that it narrowly passed with 220 votes to 211. This denotes the fact that the debate on whether money can buy happiness is 50/50. It is entirely certain that the money is very helpful especially during the time of crisis. However, the republicans who voted against the bill were not entirely wrong considering the fact that the stimulus package can have long-term consequences to the economy due to the high spending.
Summing up, it is apparent that money is good as it eliminates or rather reduces a lot of problems. However, money is not the only source of happiness. Moreover, there are some things that are above money for instance chronic diseases, family, true friendship among others. Such things, cannot be bought with money but they also have significant impact to happiness.

Best strategies for avoiding Procrastination
Procrastination is a prevalent issue that can befall everyone. It is defined as the act of delaying or postponing tasks or actions until they become urgent or even impossible to do. Research shows that procrastination can lead to tension, anxiety, and poor performance. However, if you are looking for ways to eliminate proctrastination, These article outlines some of the best mechanisms that an individual can employ to mitigate frequent postponing of tasks. We will explore some useful tactics for preventing procrastination and getting things done by the end article.
1. Come up with clear goals and priorities
One of the primary reasons people procrastinate is a lack of clear goals and priorities. It can be tough to stay focused and motivated if you don’t know what you want to achieve. As a result, it is critical to set defined and attainable goals for oneself. Create a list of everything you need to complete and prioritize chores according to priority and urgency.
2. Break large tasks into smaller ones
Another reason individuals procrastinate is because chores may appear too difficult. It’s easy to put off a chore that seems too huge. Break the task down into smaller, more manageable chunks to avoid this. This will make the task seem less daunting and more manageable.
3. Create a time management plan
A timetable can assist you in staying on track and avoiding procrastination. Organize your day or week ahead of time and assign certain tasks to specified periods.
Sample Timetable
This will assist you in being focused and making the most of your time. Adobe has an online timetable maker software that can help you significantly to create a good time table to plan your day(s).
4. List and eliminate common distractions
Procrastination is often caused by distractions. Social media, email, and other forms of online communication can be especially distracting. Eliminate or reduce these distractions to avoid procrastination. Turn off your phone, close any superfluous computer tabs, and make your office as silent as possible.

5. Ensure you set deadlines
Deadlines can be an effective motivator. Giving yourself deadlines might help you keep focused and on track. Make sure your deadlines are reasonable and attainable, and then stick to them.
6. Reward yourself for good performance
Lastly, it is critical to recognize and thank yourself for a job well done. Appreciate your achievements and take breaks when you need them. This will assist you in remaining motivated and avoiding burnout.
Gift yourself
In conclusion, while procrastination is a difficult habit to change, it is not impossible. You may avoid procrastinating and achieve your goals by making clear goals and priorities, splitting things into smaller pieces, developing a timetable, removing distractions, setting deadlines, and rewarding yourself. Remember that staying focused, motivated, and consistent is essential.

The Youngest Person Ever Sentenced To Death
The youngest person ever sentenced to Death was 14 years old George Stinney an african american who was accused of killing white girls aged 11 & 7. He was sentenced and killed with a 5380 volt shock in the electric chair. 70yrs later in 2014, He was proven innocent.
George was accused of killing two white missing girls, 11-Year-old Betty and 7-year-old Mary, their bodies were found near the house where he lived with his parents in Alcolu, South Carolina march 1944.
The sheriff arrested George and his brother John (later released), because he claimed that George confessed and led officers to the ‘place where he hid the murder weapon’. His father was fired from his job at a local sawmill and ordered to vacate the company house.
There was no written statement of his confession apart from the officers words. He was confined for 81 days without any visits.The entire proceeding against Stinney, including the all-white- jury selection, took only one day and no black people were allowed in the courtroom.
It took a jury of 12 white men 10 minutes of deliberation to find George Stinney guilty. His siblings claimed that he had an alibi. At the time of the murders, he was with his sister Aime watching the family’s cow.
George was sentenced and killed with a 5380 volt shock in the electric chair.
He was executed on June 16, 1944, at 7:30 p.m. He was electrocuted with 5,380 volts in his head, imagine all that voltage in a teenager’s head.
It was also noted that a man named Wilford “Johnny” Hunter, who claimed to be Stinney’s cellmate, said that Stinney denied murdering Binnicker and Thames. “He said, ‘Johnny, I didn’t, didn’t do it,’” Hunter said. “He said, ‘Why would they kill me for something I didn’t do?’”
70 years later, his innocence was finally proven by a judge in South Carolina. The boy was innocent, someone set it up to blame him for being black.
May his innocent soul rest in power.
