Bad Habits Kenyan Landlords Exhibit

Does anyone know a Kenyan landlord who returns their tenants deposits when they leave? I would like to meet that Kenyan landlord if they exist.

As I write this article, I write from the perspective of someone who has dealt with several Kenyan landlords as well as someone who is a […]

The Future of Radio and TV Advertising is Digital

Why Every Kenyan Rapper Wants to be Toxic Lyrikali Right Now

In the words of Nayvadius DeMun Wilburn, also known as Toxic King, “you do what you can when you are popping”.

It’s very difficult to create a hit song; for some, it takes years, while others get lucky and have one hit song, only to be unable to replicate it. A hit is a gift and a curse.

Despite gaining her independence in 1962, Unfortunately Uganda is still not free. Uganda’s current president, Yoweri Museveni, has been in power since 1986, and it is hard to tell when the last free and fair election happened in Uganda.

Winnie Odinga is a Political Science graduate from Drexel University in Philadelphia who wrote many of […]

The reason that literally anyone can start a podcast is that, unlike many other businesses or hobbies, there are no barriers to entry.
