Kimbibi Muya watching. Thank you so much. Then we have Sally Carl. Good friend. Hello. Hey there Dominic. Great show there. In my thinking the young people have lost more. We want easy life, easy money, good lifestyle. I like Angela's attitude and at least I can see that I am not the only one who has chosen to be different to what the site is offering. I'm positive that in being unique then I'll be able to achieve my dream if it's five years to come. I have chosen to start small, invest in different things, pursue my education. In this I will not be in any competitive lifestyles. Rather I'll be on my lane, moving on my speed and above all Godspeed. Amazing. Thank you so much Sally for that. Please keep the comments coming on our Facebook page at Y254 and I'm going to read them out in a bit. Do you like readouts? Before we ask the audience to ask a few questions, do you like readouts? I'm going to ask you some readouts. I don't know if you like readouts. I've got a readout here. An elephant with one ear. An elephant with one ear. An elephant with one ear. These are kikuyu readouts. I found some kikuyu readouts. Okay. In five, four. Clueless. Three. Two. Two. Going back on Ajay Sabia. A cup. It's a cup. Okay. A house without a door or a window. Too simple. I have a friend who stays between two swords but never gets cut. Teeth. The tongue. The tongue. I got it. I was in the right direction. Yes, yes. I'm going to a few more. This is so nice. I'll be asking you more. But now I'm going to ask, today we have only a few, a few number of audience members. We've got five from NIBS when we come out on a traffic. Now, who has the mic? All right. Ask your question or your comment or suggestion. Let's go. My name is Samuel Juguna. And maybe about the living the moment. We stay as some of the youth out there. Maybe we are, we fear to fail. I'm there like, what will they say after I have failed? So I just want to use the shortcuts so that I can succeed in life. Perfect. Okay. Thank you so much Samuel for that. My name is Nikolas Kyoko. Nikolas Kyoko. My name is just an opinion which I would like madam there to challenge me. I feel the youth are engaging themselves in drugs maybe to feel good. That is maybe, those are affected by maybe depression and also social anxiety. So they are watching, they are doing drugs in order to survive. Yeah, to feel good. Okay. Thank you. I will challenge that. Okay. My name is Irene Morugi. Irene. Okay. I wanted to say this. Some youths are engaging in some bad behaviors or they want things so fast because for example in some jobs they want people who are more experienced. For example they say a person with six years experience, five years experience. And you've just graduated. Yes. And you've just graduated. So you wonder where will you go for those six years. You go for an interview and then you miss it because of the experience part of it. So some of them are getting so depressed about the jobs. They are those who have stayed for like 20 years, 10 years without jobs. So they are given jobs fast. So they make them engage in things that are not good because of that. And they want things fast because of that. Perfect. Thank you so much Irene. Thank you. But you want to say something yourselves? You're good. Alright. Thank you so much. No, I think she's good. Now there is this Nikola's statement and he is saying that many young people are just doing drugs to feel good. And I also think that in addition many young people are doing drugs just to get by. Just to survive. Just to survive. Like they feel that life is so harsh that if I smoke and I feel high for a bet I just feel good because I am constantly feeling bad. What do you think? I disagree. Because life has always... Everybody goes to that stage where everything seems impossible. I mean really for you high school was fun. How was your high school? Unfortunately it was fun. Oh okay. Let me tell you something. We actually used to report, some of us used to report high school alia. Just to go and have fun there. These schools were these? Yeah. Grifo schools? No. No. But I mean growing up teenage is a moment of angst. You're confused. You don't know where you're fitting. You don't know where you're going. Some people know from the time they were in class 3 what they want to be. Others get to campus and they still don't know what they want to do. So I don't think anyone ever has it easy. So if we say we're just... I'm sorry. People have been smoking weed from forever. So they're also trying to just feel good. The youth may be feeling that this is new. It's not. It has been here. It's been there. I mean I think what they need to think about is they have more, you have to find you and decide who you are. Because let me tell you, as far as I'm concerned, the universe has abundance. There is more than enough for everyone. Our problem is I want to be you. I'm trying to be you. That's the problem. I need to find out who I am and what I am good at. And China that. Then there are really no problems. There are so many more opportunities I think compared to us guys growing up. So this technology has been a pain. It's a blessing in one way. It's a challenge in another. But it has opened so many things. Knowledge, flows. These days Google is your best friend. You can acquire skills from nowhere. These guys, you can use your art and your talent to shine. As guys may say, you'd say you want to be a musician. Who's child? To do what? How? Where? The what? And now you're saying the big names are making crazy money. But what about Irene's perspective? But look, sometimes we want to go for shortcuts because the world is putting unrealistic demands on us. Like how do I have 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 years of experience and I'm freshly graduated and I can go a shortcut and give maybe 5,000, 10,000 or even half sex and get a job. But how long will it last? The horizontal promotions, how far will you get with them? What are the repercussions as well? Now let me tell Irene, here's the other irony. Even for us looking for jobs now, they'll tell you we look for somebody with 10 years experience but what they're offering to pay is another of telling you usi apply. Am I making sense? So it's a conandrum so we have to find us but who says you have to all get employed? I mean like if you think about it some of the biggest skills these days are the hands. You know where you have to get your hands dirty? Farming, technical skills, people make crazy money. But ask everybody, not everybody has to be a lawyer, doctor, teacher, lawyer again. You don't have to find your space. You've put yourself on the spot right there, you do realise that. No, because of that I was a lawyer and I moved into this. No, no, no. Not everybody has to become a lawyer another. Yeah, a doctor or a teacher. Be you. But let's say, okay, I understand what you're saying and I respect that and I agree with it. However. However, yes, that is my path. Not everybody can be an entrepreneur or has the opportunity right now to be an entrepreneur. That is true I'm work. That's not my forte. See, now. But now I want to get into this job. The opportunity is there. We have a competition of maybe a job of 40,000 people has, I mean 40,000 shillings has a competition of 1,000 plus, 2,000 people. The only thing I need, the shortcut that I need is to give somebody, to give some money or to go horizontal as you said, to sleep with the... But you think everyone doing that? Yeah. Think of it that way. We hear many but it's But. You're trying to get in there But. And someone who is in there who has been employed for two, three years tells you, yeah, I know it's huge of the time. I know, but you need to think about it. Kwanzaa in this digital age, well, no, no, no. Hakuna Siri, dadamu, Hakuna. So anything you do now will come to light later. Suddenly you become pastor, you become this great leader, ex-files are being unleashed of you. Can you live with it? Unfortunately. That's the thing, as you say, every action has a consequence. So think it through. Was she called Sally, one of your last on your social media, who said, yes, you need to find who you are and be you, define you. Because Hakuna Shotkat, imagine, utalipa, majutom juku, a Shotkat ndi uli kongana el fukumi. Next time, kwa sawa, haiku tosho ongeza or now from now on sawa, your salon half of it belongs to me. Where are you going with that? We live for the rest of your life. So when we say enough is enough, that's how we keep exploiting and misusing each other. So what will you say to those people who are encouraging people to do that? Like, let's say, look at some of the music that has been released recently. This guy should be, yes, that come near me, Vibhoko. No, look at the some of the music that they are writing. Let's not even talk about it. Even some of... We won't say where. But we can talk about the music from recently, lamba something that was mentioned there. And this is a song that teenagers are going to hear. And they are going to see this, the people singing these songs, they are driving big cars, they have their beautiful ladies and all that. But you see, these guys have discovered they are hungry and they are taking advantage because you know you can sing decent songs and still sing the same thing. Mavinga is sexual healing. Yes. Okay, in the beginning it was tabu. Even yeah, it couldn't be played I hear those years. But there are songs that can be sung. I mean, let me keep it local. Sauti Soul Nishike That was controversy but it's a decent song. Or Sana's Mufal Mama Penzi Some nansama drinks nama yengsu June na nimi jameni. These guys have discovered the young people will will look here, yes. But where is it going? Do you know there is a song called Duda? Kai java. It's okay. Zambela as well. I mean we've sung everything. But when you think about it, I call it chewing gum music. But there's for want of a better classification. Because it hits like this years for a month or two. But it's not a classic. It's not something that will last. You'll sing Sauti Soul songs. Me and know them from the first songs kina sumui which these guys may not even know. But they started and you know you think of Kenyans who do really good talent. So shine. Don't sing something because it's like I said chewing gum. You know chewing gum is very exciting when you see it the first time you chew it. So those guys come with one hit wonders. Amma. I hear you. Exactly. Where is it going? Where is it going? How long will they shine? Look at the guys who are durable and sustainable and have continued. There are people who bring in things that are classics. Kina Ed Sheeran? Kina who? Timeless music. Yes. You sit down and put your talent to the best that it can be. And you shine and you thrive. You know she's my namesake so I have to talk about her. People who do good work so you need to think about it. Okay. There are lots of people. I mean our generation was many a horrible song. Horrible. Horrible. We even remember Liz. Terrible songs. And me was what kulazmi is the girls are dancing and these guys are saying horrible things about women. And the chick is So do you see But you see it didn't start jana. It's been there. People have to think because in the long term when you start chilling out what kind of music do you really enjoy? But women are being told that dancing to those songs in the way those songs require is empowerment is showing that you are free. Who said what? That it's your rules My life my rules why me doing what? I mean next to nothing and you in a full suit. The girls need to wake up and look. But they are being told show your body be proud of your body as you know show your pieces of Hey you know what there's more freedom. You're not your boobs and you're not your ass. What matters is what's in here and what's in here and the more and it's changing. I'm seeing girls becoming more aware. You have a few lost ones but you know unfortunately and spreads faster than good news. I hear you. Yeah not every female is thick like that. But some of the strongest feminist movements are the ones who are encouraging some of the girls to be this way. No there's a thing about being proud about who you are because definitely I mean like the five fingers in this hand will never be all the same size. So there's no point of making everybody think that our RGB is the best size to look even big girls are cool but they're not thinking about them bearing everything. No let me Which one? There are some especially some of the personalities in movies where they have had to act naked in some of the movies they come out and say after I acted naked I felt so empowered. Because she's feeling there's a gap because there are females who are known and they are well known in Hollywood or wherever we tell you I'm sorry I'm not doing that and we're getting to that if you think about the Me Too movement it brought to light how all these you know couch casting happens people tell you you must do but people are lying to say no still has him to do. She has him to do. Yeah still has him to do. Now as we finish up what would you tell young people in this instant therefore in terms of resilience in terms of living beyond the moment what are some of 2-3 things you would advise? I'll tell them you have a great future ahead of you you have the potential and the capacity to do anything under the sun only if you choose to excel because there can only be one you and this world is humongous opportunities are amazing and there are many look at being the best that you can but at the same time 1. Love respect yourself that way there are things you will never do in the world of social media if you don't want much if you never get involved in stuff that you don't want your mother your grandmother or your children to ever see don't post stuff like that because digital digital footprints cannot be erased but everything is possible right now believe in yourself you're in the right place and seek knowledge knowledge is key knowledge is power you have I don't know you can be anything you want to be but also respect people everything takes time the world of Jericho it took 7 days for guys to walk around to them it was you know they had got on their side you have just said down but no they had to learn resilience a baby takes 9 months to grow even if you become a good musician you have to practice so find your skills find what you're good at doing and do it that's it there's some more comments here lack of opportunities are forcing young youth to opt for short cuts buddhiya kelvin okay I think the other comments we have read them out from yes I think we have read those ones just for Musioka those ridos no were so easy Salimia Nikolas Yogo and the others not good nights Lanam Zuri just what you are saying the ridos were easy okay oh no let's do this no I have gone round the forest with the red motorcycle I have gone round the forest with the red motorcycle a forest fire a rainbow that's not red it has many colors in the traditional language they did not know there are many colors it is called a rainbow they only see the top color which is red I have had with you I have traveled with one who never tells me to rest a shadow people here are very corrupt I am going to stop with a very difficult one real difficult they face up as if they are about to lead a song tan tan 5 4 a drum 3 no 3 2 who faces up the Hunts of Keto one as Fuesana Angela Muihakhi has been on my show media personality community leader and lawyer certified mediator she has done everything and she is reminding you and I to learn to live beyond the moment and as we finish up the show I want to remind you all of you as she has mentioned you've got a great future in you and there is much hope in you and shortcuts as she said there is always karma sometimes it comes back to bite and bite hard when you are young you don't see it but one day when you have a son and you have to sit him down and tell him not to follow a shortcut you just have to remember that you follow those shortcuts and it is going to be difficult for you to be authentic and real thank you for watching the part I wish you the very very best and we are going to see you next Wednesday be mad be exceptional make a difference see ya
