It was around 2:00 pm when I got out of the house. My main aim was going to the library in town. So I get off at the bus station at Moi Avenue and buy mabuyu. As I an walking down the street eating mabuyu, people looking at me like I am retarded or something. So I am walking up parliament road almost aimless and looking homeless. I took a wrong turn so I had to ask for directions (I have a poor since of direction). Then as I got directions I was on my merry way when the strangest thing happened.
I was walking down the street when this guy came along and ask me where I live. I told him and then he gives me a story. He started by he is from South Africa and he was sent through Western Union. So naturally (being a Nairobian and Kenyan overall) I asked how come? Apparently he had 'lost' his passport,money and phones to a hoe ..how dumb can you be? He had a police abstract but the western union place doesn't allow that to be used to withdraw money. I doubted him naturally but he went on to give me another story that he needed the name of a Kenyan citizen in there ID number. So being a good person, like my mother taught me I decided to help the guy. I asked him how much you are talking about and he said 15000 US dollars. In saying that they noticed he had an accent in Portuguese and Zulu too. 15000 dollars in translation to Kenyan Shillings is 1.3 95 million. So I couldn't risk it being trained losing a good amount of money. So we went to the Western Union agent on Parliament road but it was closed. Then we decided to go to nation Centre.
So let me put it this way I had 200 shillings coming from home. 70 shillings for fare. The guy put me in a situation where I had to pay thirty shillings to charge my dead phone. But honestly I hear you're going to get 10000 shillings what would you have done?. So I charge my phone in we go to nation Centre. On the way he starts blabbing about a secret word then something so I had to recharge 50 shillings worth of a airtime call of foreign number. The number belong to The guy sending money. After that after the a hole takes me to buy him cigarettes worth 20. I am a nice person so I did just that. So now it's us standing outside Kaldis coffee house like a couple of retards calling a foreign number for money ,yeah, money. So he gives me some bogus information and sends me to 'ask' for that I need to withdraw the money. So I told him that I will need a transaction number and an ID. Then he starts talking about 1000 shillings and embassy shit.
But the weirdest thing happened next I told him I'd call my cousin to help us and he fled like the devil..like seriously don't con a dude who is not conable .. But all in all a colorful day aye

THE CON NAIROBI ENCOUNTER
Friday, May 15, 2015
Be a man take care of your child!
So there are these idiots who call themselves men. They give women pregnancies. Then neglect their children.
First of all, use a fricking condom when you are having relations with a woman or even better don't have freaking relations. These jerks have no respect for humanity or God. Neglecting should be a punishable crime by hanging.
Don't get me wrong, I know there are women who trap men to have their babies (I will discuss them in another post). You as a man how freaking dumb can you be? Damn it!! Traps are set for idiots, which is these dumb asses.
But like it or not in most cases the guy gets the girl pregnant willingly. So if you know you are going to make a woman pregnant you should suffer the consequences.
The pigs (that was an insult to pigs) at first are involved in the child's infancy and everything when it's a child. Then when the responsibility gets real they bail. Like for instance a father just suddenly says he doesn't know the child. Like WTF he was your kid yesterday now suddenly he is not? What type of man are you?
In most cases the mother is in capable of taking care of school fees and the basic needs. From my stand point that is not fare for the child. No child should be depraved of their rights some children don't even eat coz they can't afford it while the "father" is somewhere off in a Range Rover. That is not fare and man hood officially disowns these vandels they are not men they are cowards and should be shot in public.
Seriously if you can't take care and be responsible for a child, then don't make a child.. Don't be a dusgrace. Take care of your children.

Are Entrepreneurs Nothing More Than Problem Solvers?
Elon Musk. Mark Zuckerberg. Richard Branson. What do all three of these incredibly successful entrepreneurs have in common?
They’re not magicians. They’re not superhuman demigods, preordained to change the world at birth. They don’t have divine powers that give them an unfair advantage in creating products or services that will make them billions of dollars. These entrepreneurs are just like you and I. And every day, they solve problems of all sizes.

You can save yourself some serious struggles by reading How to Lose $6,537 and Create a Product Nobody Wants. Don’t be afraid to fail.

I’m fortunate enough to be in the heart of Silicon Valley’s tech industry, working at CreativeLive with
talented entrepreneurs every day. I’ve seen exactly how much hard work
and drive it takes to succeed. Despite how it may look outwardly, none
of the world’s self-made business magnates, inventors, or successful
entertainers have gotten to where they’re at without experiencing some
embarrassing failures. What sets them apart is that they will never give up on their
dreams, and they’re not fearful of trying a new approach.
Mark Zuckerberg has connected the world in ways not previously even imagined before Facebook came around. Zuckerberg has dedicated himself to getting the entire world online.
Richard Branson has brought a uniqueness and authenticity to countless industries through his Virgin Group, which is comprised of over 400 companies. Branson is on a lifelong quest to teach others and create opportunities for people to succeed.
Looking at these examples in a vacuum can give you a very warped perception of what it takes to become a successful entrepreneur. It’s much easier in retrospect to look back and create a story that points to all of the reasons why certain people have risen to success.
As Malcolm Gladwell so elaborately showed us in Outliers, there are an incredible number of factors that go into creating the perfect environment for success. Having a winning combination of personality traits, being exposed to the right learning opportunities at the right time, and external life & societal events all play a huge role in making the probability of success more likely for certain people.
In 2014, the online education industry hit $56.2 Billion and that's estimated to double by the end of this year. Why? Because people are looking for online destinations to learn from. At CreativeLive alone, we've
Above all else, understand that you are just as capable as Musk, Zuckerberg, and Branson, at bringing positive change to the world and creating a powerful business for yourself in the process. Discover your passions. Seek meaningful solutions to the problems you uncover. Help others achieve their goals. Never stop learning. Keep trying. Become a phenomenal problem solver and you’re that much closer to entrepreneurial success.

What is an entrepreneur?
At their core, the best entrepreneurs are just phenomenal problem solvers with an insatiable drive for learning and solving what they set out to accomplish. There’s no reason why you can’t achieve or surpass their level of success.I invented my first product while I was in college, taking a full course load and working a part-time job. It

Create meaningful solutions
If you want to be an entrepreneur, don’t waste time analyzing your life events to determine your probability of success. Spend your time rather, on discovering your passions, learning as much as you can within your areas of interest, and seeking to create meaningful solutions to the problems you see in your space.In 2014, the online education industry hit $56.2 Billion and that's estimated to double by the end of this year.
