AD GOLD, CSR

Continuing from where I left off, coca-cola.

Safaricom is almost the coca-cola of Kenya but not there yet, however with the acquisition of Kasarani the sky is the limit for them. The sponsorship of rugby series jazz international festival, safaricom live concerts, end of year parties, wow! That is BIG.

I not long ago asked a friend who plays for a foot ball team in Nakuru who sponsors their team, at some time called top fry.

Before he answered I knew it had to be sponsored by a foreigner.

He didn't disappoint, their long time sponsor was indeed a foreigner.

Why make money after all, is it not to make the world a better place?

The likes of 7up have a steep hill to climb if they are to face off with coca-cola in market share competition.

I recently topped up 50mb data thanks to Coke Studio collaboration with safaricom. In such campaigns people can help but be loyal to a brand.

As I alluded to the story of post election violence that just being one of many cases where people lost ALL their investments in the twinkling of an eye, it's not worth being selfish after all physically we'll be dead longer than we will be alive so the best investment is to put a smile on that other person.

Wow! Still riling from #JKL on KTNKENYA with Dr. Myles Munroe wow! What a discussion.

Quote: Die Empty.

So Corinth was a development hub of it's days, a transit town to be precise, this is what it looks at now. Remains, rubble.

The Price of greatness by David Oyedepo (Breaking New Grounds) PDF

Breaking new grounds is a costly endeavor for who of you intending to build a tower sits not down first and counted the cost? Every tower you see today behind it is a tower cost there is a tower price behind ever standing tower today. many people settle for status quo because of the seeming unbearable cost that breaking new grounds demands this generation is not interested in the cost they are only interested in the feat they want the results but they are not interested in the price so they keep chasing after the wind all their life he should count the cost whether he has sufficient to finish it lest haply after he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish it all that behold it begin to mock him saying this man begun to build and was not able to finish every  prize carries a price as a fining pot for silver and the furnace for gold, so is a man to his praise. so the level of dignity you command is a function of the price you are willing to pay every great accompl...

I liked this interview, talks so much sense. In Kenya we have 10% of population controlling 45% of the economy. That is shocking. My great problem at times is that there are many problems that require little investment but will produce immense benefits. The great problem as Dr. Karungu here says is that we are not producing middle class. We have to really deal with traditions e.g. study get a job, do business to to buy a car and a house. Knowledge always brings people to rest, whether in religion for my case Christianity or Economy. I hope you know that more than doing busy-ness people need to do business, create not just employment but meaningful employment. Since many just want to pay personal bills e.g. in Molo, there is no strategy management in place just mere competition with local businesses. As one said  "If you think education is expensive try ignorance". It is severely expensive. In my talks in schools I find that what really inspires teens is...

Down here is a picture of EAML, East African Malting LTD, I recently was in Narok and to get there I used the Molo - Kericho - Bomet route. Along this route I happened to see such great facilities used to process tea. For your information Kericho is not just beautiful, it is beau-tea-ful. The landscape of the town is covered by tea even hawkers in Kericho town sell tea cuttings, that you can plant. From Kaisugu, Finlay, Unilever among many others that paint the town green. The other day on a local television station highlighted the fact that some of these farms have been planted in the Mau Forest. Politicians .... let's leave them alone, apparently they owe me very little I have a part to play. So Jillian Kyula on a local station @ktnKenya enlightened a lot about 250 out of 450 acres of available arable land for farming in the world is found in Africa. I would just like to see great structures here in Molo that process, not tea but rather potatoes and an assortment of other ...
