What he didn’t know was that his fortune—and his life—was about to take a devastating turn.

It all started one fateful evening at a popular entertainment joint in Chuka town. With his bank account fattened by the recent sale, Kinywa decided to treat himself. Dressed in his best shirt, he strolled into the club, eager to unwind. The air was thick with music and laughter, the scent of expensive whiskey mingling with the aroma of grilled nyama choma.

Then, he saw her.

She was a vision—draped in a figure-hugging red dress, her smile warm, her eyes playful. She introduced herself as Lisa. Kinywa, caught between excitement and intoxication, felt his heart race. She was unlike any woman he had met before—elegant, charming, and with a laugh that sent shivers down his spine. She listened intently to his stories, her hand gently resting on his arm. That night, Kinywa felt like a king.

Lisa was no ordinary woman. She was an expert in the game, a seasoned schemer who had seen men like Kinywa before—freshly loaded and easily swayed. She made him feel special, showering him with attention and promises of love. Kinywa, who had lived a relatively simple life, was mesmerized.

It didn’t take long before Lisa’s influence took hold. Kinywa began withdrawing money in small amounts, funding extravagant nights at the club, expensive dinners, and shopping sprees.

Lisa convinced him that a man of his stature deserved the finer things in life. She whispered sweet nothings, called him her "king," and he believed her every word.

Within weeks, the withdrawals became more frequent. Lisa introduced him to her "friends," a flashy group that reinforced her narrative. They drank the finest whiskey, took weekend trips, and lived as if money would never run out. Kinywa , lost in the thrill of his newfound lifestyle, ignored the dwindling balance in his bank account.

One evening, as he sat at his usual spot in the club waiting for Lisa, reality came crashing down. He swiped his card to buy drinks for the group, but the transaction was declined. Confused, he checked his phone—his account was empty. Not a single shilling left. Panic set in. How could this have happened?

Lisa, sensing the shift, made a quiet exit. Kinywa tried calling her, but her number was suddenly unavailable. He rushed to her usual spots, asked around, but it was as if she had vanished into thin air. The woman who had once promised him love and loyalty had disappeared, taking his fortune with her.

Devastated and broke, Kinywa sat outside the club, staring at the night sky. He had lost everything—not just his money, but his dignity, his dreams, and his trust. The reality of his foolishness hit him hard. A man who once had a plot to his name was now left with nothing but regret.

Kinywa's story has since become a cautionary tale in Chuka. Friends whisper about his downfall, young men shake their heads in disbelief, and elders sigh, knowing too well how greed and deception can ruin even the strongest of men.

Today, Kinywa is trying to rebuild his life, working odd jobs and staying away from entertainment joints. The pain of betrayal still lingers, but he has learned a bitter lesson—some women don’t just steal hearts; they steal fortunes too.

Greenhouse gases; including carbon dioxide (CO2),methane(CH4) and nitrous oxide(N2O),trap heat in the Earth atmosphere.

We've watched the ice retreat more and more each year,"says John,"another lifelong Eastleigh resident.

Maria balcony view was a stark reminder of the urgent need to address the greenhouse crisis.

Each one of us has a role to play in mitigating this global threat before it's too late.The future of our planet depends on the actions we take today.

Nairobi is a home to 82 embassies and 42 consulates, a total of 124 representations, which is more than Kenya's own representation. 

Kenya's representation plays a rather key role for Kenyans travelling abroad and in cases where one is in a foreign country and cannot reach out to Kenyan diplomacy is heartbreaking.

In the most recent case of Margaret Nduta, a Kenyan found guilty by the independent state of Vietnam, the lack of Kenyan representation is likely to prove fatal. Her ordeal in Vietnam can be compared to a journey to the moon without oxygen where she is suffocating silently. Her story left in the dark no one to turn to,alone in a foreign place surrounded with foreign people. 

It is really shameful that the complacency of those in charge of bilateral talks and treaties for international relations and diplomacy  have failed and as a result a life is on the verge of being ended.It hurts even more when the government tries to mend up but this time too late.

Kenya is fully at fault , the government proving once again that the Generations Z had a justifiable reason to call them out. Such a disgrace to our forefathers who fought sweat and blood, they really are turning in turmoil in whatever the places they are resting regretting and questioning the turn of events.

Despite Kenya's Prime CS and Foreign CS Musalia Mudavadi having a meeting with Vietnam's deputy minister of foreign affairs  Nguyen Minh Hang, there's seemingly nothing fruitful that accrued towards helping one of our own.

Nduta's story around her conviction awaiting execution is eluded, opaque,as is expected considering her exclusion her claims hardly having given an ear. Nobody to stand with her no one to guide her of a possible appeal that at the moment is long gone.

This should serve as a lesson to the government and the people of Kenya at large that prevention is better than cure ,with Nduta's case on the verge of  uncertainty a hot reminder is served.The voices of the people must be heard.

 Yet, in today's fast paced world, sleep is often the first thing to be sacrificed. Worse , some people work all 24 hours and they end up messing health wise.

We treat sleep as a luxury rather than necessity. Behind the scene, sleep wields a silent power-one that shapes our mental clarity , emotional stability and physical well-being in  ways we often underestimate.

Sleep is more than even rest. It is not simply a pause button on our lives. It is an important process that fuels every aspect of our being. While we are asleep, our bodies go through crucial repair and regeneration.The brain clears out toxins, consolidates memories and strengthens neutral connection. And when we wake up,  we have refreshed minds.

Dr Emily Carter, a sleep specialist, explains sleep is like a power reset for the body. Its during these hours that we process emotions, restore our energy and regulate hormones. Missing just few hours of sleep can set a chain reaction of negative effect.It may increase risks of health diseases,  diabetes, obesity and even mental disorders like anxiety and depression. Loss of sleep impairs or rather affects decision making, reduces creativity and makes us prone to mood swings.

When you stay a night without sleeping you will ever feel irritable after that night.Your brain will struggle to function without proper recovery. Also, long term consistent sleep loss can accelerate aging, weaken immunity and contribute to burnout.If we prioritize sleep we will have great improvement  even in how we work and also how we carry ourselves  out. By doing so one has to stick to sleep schedule; that is going to bed on time. Also create a restful environment. Dark, quite and cool room signals your brain that it's time to unwind.And lastly, being mindful of caffeine and heavy metals that can interfere with sleep quality.

For the sake of good health and  proper decision making  consider to prioritize sleep.

Early detection can mean the difference between a simple procedure and a grueling  fight, yet awareness remains low.That regret stings when advanced stages demand more than just hope.

Routine screening like mammograms are a game changer, but too few women and girls prioritize them.Doctors push these checks  especially  for those with a genetic risk, as catching  cancer late  often leads to intense breast cancer treatment  options like chemotherapy.

What could've been a manageable  fix turns into a major ordeal, all because  timing was off.It's a wake-up call to act fast.

Late diagnosis  thrust patients into a world of high-stakes care. Advanced breast cancer treatment might  mean targeted drugs or mastectomy, both carrying big price tags and bigger emotional toil. Those who've been there kick themselves  for not acting sooner, knowing early steps  could've eased the burden. Hindsight is brutal  when health is on the line .

The lesson? Don't wait for people who have  battled breast cancer say they'd give anything to have started with self exams or a doctor's visit before it escalated .The right breast cancer treatment at the earliest stage can rewrite your story from tragedy to triumph.Take charge. Your future self will thank you.
