Looking for a car owner in Nairobi willing to let me drive for Uber/Bolt on a daily or weekly payment basis instead of a full lease.
Reliable, will take care of the car.
DM or comment if you have one or know someone who does this.
Ama You’re looking for a personal driver niko hapa .
Over the last few weeks or a month I interacted with a few strangers here sharing our struggles and most of them had positive words to share.
Unfortunately I see most of them have been deleted.
I just hope you guys are around you just locked in and not the other way round.
Tukaze mkanda we have 70 more years of life
Years are passing by very fast and now it’s hitting me that life is long like looooong.
If you were to live like President Moi 96 years , God forbid, you have more than 60 years( if you’re 36 yrs today) .
Wale tuko 20s more than 70 fooking years
Hii maisha ni safari.
Over the past month I’ve posted here about my struggles, my plans, my doubts — and honestly, the advice and support I’ve gotten back has surprised me. No judgment, just real people giving real perspective, sometimes tough love, sometimes just solidarity.
It’s easy to assume online spaces are cold or performative, but this community has shown me something different. So this is just a genuine thank you to everyone who’s taken time to reply, push back, or just say “I get it.” It means more than you know.
Karibu to anyone else out here rebuilding — this place is worth it.
Genuinely curious about this. For men who’ve started a family or are actively planning to:
**•** Was there a specific moment or feeling that told you “now”? Or did it sneak up on you?
**•** Did you wait until you hit certain milestones — money, career, housing — or did the relationship/desire just override all that?
**•** For those who waited for financial stability first: how did you define “stable enough”? Was there ever a point where you felt fully ready, or did you just decide and figure the rest out along the way?
**•** For those who didn’t plan it: any regrets, or did it end up pushing you to grow up faster?
Trying to understand if this is mostly an internal readiness thing, or if it’s really gated by external stuff like money and career first. Would appreciate honest answers either way — happy to hear from guys who waited and guys who didn’t.
I never thought I would sit with regrets in life this soon (25 years)
This year has gotten me big on self reflection prolly cause of being at the basement of rock bottom. Walking around and seeing people hit the age of 70/80 has gotten me thinking that I don’t have the foundation I thought I was building.
When I pull myself out of poverty, I will start preaching the gospel.
Curious to hear from people in sales across different industries.
There seem to be two broad lanes: fast-cycle commission work (retail, telecoms, insurance, anything where you can close and get paid within days) versus slower, bigger-ticket sales like real estate where one deal can be huge but the gaps between sales can be brutal.
For those who’ve done either (or both):
**•** What do you sell, and is your commission structure daily/weekly or more “feast or famine”?
**•** If you had to start over in sales today, which lane would you pick and why?
**•** Any underrated products or industries with solid short-cycle commissions that aren’t the obvious ones (phones, clothes, insurance)?
Would love to hear real experiences, not just theory — what’s actually worked for people
I honestly been loving Reddit and been my peaceful place for a while
I’ve spent a lot of time on this side of Reddit and TikTok where it’s just constant complaining — no jobs, hustles failing, everything is hopeless. I get it, things are genuinely hard out here.
But I know there are people who are making it work too, and I never hear from them because they’re not the ones posting.
So — if you’ve got a job, a hustle, a business, anything that’s actually working for you right now, I want to hear about it. Not asking for bragging rights or to compare myself to you.
I just want to see that it’s possible, and maybe learn something from how you got there.
A few questions if you want to share:
**•** What are you doing right now that’s working?
**•** How did you get into it / start it?
**•** What’s something you’d tell someone who’s stuck and only seeing the negative side of things?
Drop your story below. Let’s balance this feed out a bit.
The other day I asked you guys to plug me with kufinya computer dollar inatoka. You all just made fun without mentioning anything useful.

I'm working towards an Uber hustle while I figure things out, but I want to build something real in the meantime.
University fees are out of reach right now, but a diploma is something I'm seriously looking at.
My questions for the gang:
What skills do you think are genuinely future-proof in Kenya's market right now — things that survive AI, automation, and economic chaos?
Is ACCA viable without a degree? Someone told me it can open doors in the job market on its own — is that actually true or is it just theory?
Someone suggested farming. I get the logic but farming without capital is just suffering — any experience with that?
What's that one skill you wish you had started earlier?
Genuinely asking because I'm done planning and want to move.
Would appreciate honest answers, not motivational quotes. What actually works on the ground?
Considering being a known sperm donor for a woman who wants a child but not marriage — looking for advice/experiences
A woman I know has expressed that she wants to have a child but has no interest in marriage or a traditional relationship. She’s asked if I’d consider being a sperm donor for her.
I’m genuinely open to it, but I want to go into this with my eyes wide open. A few things I’m thinking about:
• Legal agreements — do I need a formal contract to waive parental rights/responsibilities?
• What’s the emotional reality of knowing a biological child is out there?
• Has anyone done this as a known donor (not through a clinic)? How did it go?
Any advice, personal experiences, or things I should absolutely consider before agreeing would be really appreciated.
