2016/17 - Ronaldo won his 5th Ballon d’Or, Pogba became the most expensive player ever, Cavani scored 49 in 50 games to win PSG a domestic treble and Varane won his 3rd Champions League. Meanwhile, Maguire got relegated with Hull.

5 years later, they all call him captain now.

It's a KENYAN thing, you won't understand 😂😉✌🇰🇪

Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) Director, General Mohammed Badi, on Monday announced that 11 trains were in the high seas on their journey to Kenya.
General Badi said that the 11 used diesel trains from Spain, are part of a Ksh1.1 billion plan for a commuter train service that connects the city centre to the estates.
In a statement recorded by Tell a Tale News, Badi revealed that "We are working on a railway city that will be operational by the end of this month,"
The Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban development Director of Administration, Mabeya Mogaka stated that the move was aimed at making railway commuter transport enjoyable and a choice for many people in Nairobi.
Largely, Kenya Railways is working with Safaricom so that they can have a connectivity with the soon to be launched Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, where one pays for one ticket and they can seamlessly use it in the train and connect with the BRT to their final destination and vice versa.

That’s a lot of capacity leaving the industry. Brace for some significant fare increases as competition declines, higher margin business travels drops, operating costs increase and load factors reduce to cope with onboard physical separation.

Tough spot for the global industry. We will it be in steady state for a while yet...!

Sars COV2 has passed another major bench mark.
The daily death toll from Coronavirus has passed the annual death levels from malaria - roughly 420000 per annum. It’s still June!!

It’s daily death toll is still 3x higher than daily malaria deaths. From a peak of 7.

Yes this is serious.

If not addressed, there will be many more deaths from malaria and other diseases, indirectly linked to COVID-19 disruptions.

So covid might be more of a blood disorder than a respiratory infection.
It’s not Ebola but it’s also not flu..😬

A special shoutout to the ICT industry in this crisis.

The seamless migration to WFH was an illusion. Business leaders lauded their operations teams for their continuity plans that yielded the quick transition and resilience. But hidden in this are the true heroes who have been valiantly working towards this objective for ages, scraping up budgets and resources wherever they could. The IT teams internally and ICT industry externally are the invisible heroes here.

This took years of planing and preparation. From rolling out laptops and implementing secure remote authentication to setting up cloud services and deploying virtualized desktops. From implementing VPN’s and video facilities to getting the collaboration tools in place. From deploying new apps to the cloud to replatforming legacy apps to function remotely from the cloud. From enabling mobile connectivity to securing devices, connectivity and data.

Dozens of systems had to be in place BEFORE this pandemic hit to allow business to reap this whirlwind. Often fighting business resistance in the process.

“When I’m right you never remember, when I’m wrong you never forget”

Just another day in IT!

A helpful flowchart to help you decide on whether you need a Blockchain

You only need a blockchain IF you can answer YES to these 6 questions.

Do you need a shared consistent data store ?

Does more than one entity contribute data?

Are data records never updated or deleted once written?

You have NO sensitive identifiers written to the store?

Are the entities with write access unable to agree on who is in control of the Data store?

Do you need a tamperproof log of all Data written?

If you are an innovator or an early adopter then you are prone to technology triggers and peaks of inflated expectations.

The Gartner hype cycle and the product adoption curve are totally aligned.

The Key message is that hypes are driven by innovators and early adopters. I still have a Sony betaMax and a creative mpeg player and a Microsoft zune somewhere. We aggregate dead products at the trough or chasm.

The leading edge is often the bleeding edge. Having bragging rights can be expensive. But industries are built or broken by these segments.

Today you call them influencers!

Asian elephants’ ears are smaller and shaped like India.

Social distancing rules don't make sense 😳🤔.

Africa, has around 17% of the world’s population and less than 2% (or 70K) of confirmed global cases of covid-19. This may be because of limited testing. To date Africa has checked just over 1m people for the novel coronavirus: South Africa and Ghana account for nearly half of all tests in the region. The Partnership for Evidence-Based Response to Covid-19, a public-health consortium, estimates that “the true number of infections" is eight times higher.

Do the Hustle!

The decimation of Jobs and businesses is now inevitable. It will vary per industry with the service industry suffering the most and the travel, tourism and entertainment industry particularly badly hit. The Kenyan Coastal region has 60% of jobs tied directly or indirectly to tourism. And international flights might not resume until August - Maybe.

The big question that we all have to answer urgently is “will I have a job, small business or career to go back to after this pandemic is over”

We are all going to need a side hustle. A personal business or gig. That’s what we should be working on during this pandemic. Unemployment in most countries will be up by at least 12-15%. Some temporary but most will last for two to three years. If your government pays you not to work then cool - USA you are f**kn lucky!

The rest of us are going to switch to being survivalists. Good luck.
The earlier that you start the better. This event could become the biggest catalyst to new business creation ever, not because we like to but because we have to.

It’s going to look a lot like 1980i ( 1980 + internet) post pandemic.

Single salary and car per family. More in home entertaining and home cooked meals.
Less variety of brands or product options from breakfast cereal to cars. Much more DIY. Fewer in home entertainment options. A lot more home industries. Fewer airlines and hotels. Less overseas holidays.

Work cubicles will be the norm if you have an in office job. Doctors may start doing house calls again. Well paid essential service workers. Smaller stores with less choice

Drive ins and road houses will return.
Fewer malls and shops.
Lower salaries and more multi generational families.
Lower life expectancy.
Cheaper cars.
Less traffic.
More factory jobs.

Is this necessarily a bad thing?

Effectively producers are paying you to take oil. Storage is a massive issue.

At ~30d Kenya is still in early stages of its curve compared to Europe ~60d, USA & S. Korea ~80d; we seem to be tracking at a higher rate than these countries, but below South Africa & Rwanda (?testing volumes). Next ~20 days will determine how a surge unravels👇🏾

Simply put, we ain’t seen nothing yet cause at day 29-30 most countries had a sense of calm like we have right now then from day 45-60 unleashed hell with countries that surged most rapidly (those that were complacent) experiencing the most deaths.

More to come ahead //
