Darkness

Emotions affect us in different capacities. You will experience feelings that are unfamiliar. At times you feel left alone wanted and unlucky.  When thoughts cloud your mind darkness finds its string and pulls you towards it . It consumes you and truly its scary . Feeling lost but still around , feeling unloved but still surrounded by people and friends . Feeling worthless but still surrounded by people who see you worthy.  

Darkness is scary . Most people are consumed by it unknowingly.  Some people experience failure and it turns them to different people.  One's behavior changes with time and they turn cold . Check up on your friends . 

All in all, we cannot allow these negativities consume us wholly.  Positivity is key.  Good attitude and believing in yourself.  Nothing is impossible.  Life is a journey and everyone is allowed to move at their own pace. Have your own back .

KENYA 2026 FLOODS EXPOSES DEEP STRUCTURAL AND URBAN PLANNING FAILURES. https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/AFP__20240424__34Q66BL__v4__Preview__KenyaWeatherFloods-1714026944.jpg?resize=1170%2C780&quality=80 Kenya has once again revealed the countries growing vulnerability to climate related disasters. More importantly they have exposed long standing weaknesses in urban planning and infrastructural development. What began as heavy seasonal rainfall in March quickly escalated to a national wide crisis, affecting over 30 counties with Nairobi being the capital city and being the hardest hit urban center. In Nairobi scenes of flooded highways , submerged residential areas and stranded commuters became widespread. Roads such as Waiyaki Way and Jogoo road turned impassable while drainage system failed to manage moderate volumes of runoff . This situation clearly shows that rain fall alone is not the main problem but poor infrastructure is a major contributing factor. The...

 THE HIDDEN HUMAN COST OF NAIROBI S FLOODS. Beyond the visible destruction caused by the recent Nairobi floods lies a deeper and more painful reality , the human cost. While flooded roads and damaged infrastructure dominated public attention, the real impact has been felt most by ordinary families whose lives were disrupted overnight. Across Nairobi and other affected areas, thousands of people have been displaced, losing not only their homes but also their sense of stability and security.   https://s.france24.com/media/display/2cab5058-06ba-11ef-adaa-005056bf30b7/2024-04-24T145143Z_623948173_RC21D7A2HTBL_RTRMADP_3_KENYA-FLOODS.JPG In informal settlements such as Kibera, Mathare, and Mukuru, the situation was particularly severe. Many residents experienced the floods with little to no warning. Some woke up in the middle of the night to water entering their homes, forcing them to escape within minutes. In that moment, survival came first, and everything else was left behi...

Rethinking Urban Resilience

From Colonial Drainage Systems To Climate-Smart Cities As floodwaters in Nairobi begin to recede the focus should now shift from emergency response to long-term solutions. Kenya needs to start addressing the root causes of urban flooding instead of relying on temporary fixes that only work in the moment. One major issue is the city’s outdated drainage system  much of which dates back to the colonial era. At the time  this system was designed for a much smaller population and limited urban expansion. Today Nairobi has grown rapidly  but the infrastructure has not kept up with this growth  making flooding almost inevitable during heavy rains. To deal with this  the government must invest in modern drainage systems that can handle current and future rainfall patterns. This includes expanding drainage networks, improving regular maintenance  and strengthening waste management systems to prevent blockage of waterways. Urban planning is another key area tha...
