Before you read this article, go and look at the attached picture. It shows two packages of the brand Tropicana, BEFORE and AFTER rebranding.

Ask yourself;

Which of the two looks better?

I know we may have different views on this, but we can agree that the one on the right, the AFTER one, looks more modern, simplified, catchy, with less fluff.

Well, that's exactly what Tropicana thought in January of 2009, when they decided to change their brand.

They were like, "We are going into the new year, new us, we are changing everything and leaving everything else behind."

Well they did....

If you read my articles, you remember what I said in another article;

"If you serve a bad cup of coffee and you have customers, always serve a bad cup of coffee."

This quote, I know, may be a bit too extreme, but at the heart of it, it simply means; "As you change your strategy, remember not to change what really matters to the customer."

That's what happened to Tropicana. They spent about $35 million on changing their logo, and launching a marketing project to push the new logo.

Well, the change did not work. Instead of winning, they lost about 20% market share, plus about $50 million in direct loses.

By the end of February the same year, they resorted to go back to their original logo.

Imagine, in under two months, like the prodigal son, they said, "I am going back to my father's house."

What do we learn from this?

The great Myles Munroe once said; "Before you change, first identify what not to change."

A number of new year strategies fail because, instead of building on the available strengths, they attempt to change everything completely... so much that people don't want to be associated with the new brand anymore.

I am sure customers for Tropicana were like,

"Eeh, ok... but where is the Orange 🍊?"

And Tropicana executives would be like,

"It's there, we just poured it in the glass 🥂 for you."

Then the customers went like,

"No, no, no... That can be anything else, we want to see the Orange 🍊".

A similar thing happened when Mercedes Benz introduced a Pick up, or Truck as it is called in other countries.

Customers were like, "No man, leave that for Toyota, Isuzu and Ford, we know you for executive saloons and SUVs, not this.." And the Mercedes Benz Pick Up failed.

I repeat;

As you create your so called "Cutting Edge Strategy," "New Year, New Me." First identify what not to change. Otherwise you will end up adopting a strategy that will be like scoring an own goal.

Progress comes by building on what already exists.

Nokia CEO ended his speech saying this “we didn’t do anything wrong, but somehow, we lost”.

During the press conference to announce NOKIA being acquired by Microsoft, Nokia CEO ended his speech saying this “we didn’t do anything wrong, but somehow, we lost”.

Upon saying that, all his management team, himself included, teared sadly.

Nokia has been a respectable company. They didn’t do anything wrong in their business, however, the world changed too fast. Their opponents were too powerful.

They missed out on learning, they missed out on changing, and thus they lost the opportunity at hand to make it big.

Not only did they miss the opportunity to earn big money, they lost their chance of survival.

The message of this story is, if you don’t change, you shall be removed from the competition.

It’s not wrong if you don’t want to learn new things. However, if your thoughts and mindset cannot catch up with time, you will be eliminated.

Conclusion:

1. The advantage you have yesterday, will be replaced by the trends of tomorrow.

2. You don’t have to do anything wrong, as long as your competitors catch the wave and do it RIGHT, you can lose out and fail.

3. To change and improve yourself is giving yourself a second chance.

4. To be forced by others to change, is like being discarded.

5. Those who refuse to learn & improve, will definitely one day become redundant & not relevant to the industry.

They will learn the lesson in a hard & expensive way.

Actually, we, men have very strong sexual urges. That's why we lie to every woman we want to sleep with, “I love you”, but when we ej*****te we get sober. After we do it, it's up to us to choose to continue being with you or not.

That's why I urge all the ladies who are married to respect their loyal husbands for choosing to marry them rather than just using and dumping them.

Otherwise, our testosterone hormone is like fire🔥🔥🔥. It makes a man restless until he ej*****tes. That's why we are polygamous by nature; we release millions of sêx cells per ej*******on, yet you just release one egg only per month.
So, it only takes self discipline and high self-control to overcome that.

A real man.

What's sad about this picture is that most women will go their entire lifetime and never experience the meaning of actual true love.

It's even slightly depressing to think that most people will never understand how powerful this picture actually is.

This gentleman is a prime example of how men should be treating their partner with everyday that passes.

We unfortunately live in a generation with men who have no idea what it takes to be a real man.

Let me give you a couple examples of a real man ......

A real man asks about your day and genuinely cares about the answer.

A real man respects your boundaries and never forces you to anything you're not ready to do.

He makes time for you, and takes that time to learn and understand who you are as a person.

A real man consistently shows you the definition of effort with every day that passes.

He will call you randomly throughout the day just to check on you and your mental health.

A real man is undeniably committed to you and looks for new ways to fall in love with you with every day that passes.

He makes protecting your heart a number one priority.

A real man never makes permanent decisions based on temporary emotions.

He never confuses you on where you stand in his life.

A real man apologizes when he is wrong and stays true to his character.

He doesn't mind hurting other people's feeling to protect yours.

A real man gives you affection without sexual expectation.

A real man refuses to entertain any women that isn't you.

He has genuine intentions with you from day one and shows you how it truly feels to be a priority rather an option.

A real man will help you heal from the trauma that nobody apologized for.

A real man values you and would never put themselves in a position to lose you.

Take my advice and wait for the man that never let's you fall asleep at night questioning your own self worth.
🙏
Class dismissed 🥂

NATEMBEYA ATEMBEYA: Outrage Erupts as Kenyans Slam Natembeya's Convoy Amid Soaring Cost of Living

Trans Nzoia governor George Natembeya faced a barrage of criticism and anger from Kenyans on social media after being spotted attending a meeting in a convoy of over 15 fuel-guzzling V8 Prado vehicles. The outrage stemmed from the perceived wastage and insensitivity displayed by the governor, particularly as the cost of living continues to skyrocket for ordinary citizens.

Kenyans took to various social media platforms, expressing their frustrations and disappointment at Natembeya's lavish display of wealth. Many argued that such a display was unnecessary and a misappropriation of public funds. They highlighted the stark contrast between the governor's opulence and the daily struggles faced by ordinary Kenyans, who grapple with high fuel prices, inflation, and a general rise in the cost of living.

The public sentiment was fueled by the perception that the governor's actions were a reflection of the wider issues of corruption and mismanagement of public resources plaguing the country. Kenyans demanded accountability and transparency from their leaders, emphasizing the need for responsible governance and the efficient allocation of resources.

The anger displayed on social media reflected a growing frustration among Kenyans who yearn for a government that prioritizes the welfare of its citizens over personal luxury. The incident served as a catalyst for discussions on wealth inequality, fiscal responsibility, and the urgent need for leaders to address the economic challenges faced by the country.

As the outrage continued to spread across social media, it became evident that Kenyans are demanding a change in the way their leaders conduct themselves, with hopes for a more accountable and empathetic governance system that truly reflects the needs and aspirations of the people.

"Kidnapped Varsity Student Rescued: A Story of Hope and Triumph"

January 26, 2023 started as a normal day for Daisy Chebet Barno, a fourth-year student at Egerton University. Little did she know that by the end of the day, she would be kidnapped and held captive for five long days.

The kidnappers, led by Daisy's supposed friend and course mate, Faith Mwende, and her boyfriend Simon Akuteka, conspired to kidnap Daisy and demand a ransom from her wealthy family. However, their plan was foiled by the relentless efforts of detectives from the Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau who worked tirelessly to track down the kidnappers and rescue Daisy.

The kidnappers drove Daisy to an airbnb in Ruiru, where they held her captive while they waited for the ransom. But little did they know, the detectives were closely monitoring their movements, waiting for the right moment to strike.

Last night, the moment finally came. The detectives, supported by officers from DCI Nakuru and Ruiru, pounced on the kidnappers and rescued Daisy in a daring raid. The kidnappers put up a fight, but the detectives were able to apprehend all four suspects and bring an end to the harrowing ordeal.

Preliminary investigations have revealed that Simon Akuteka is a wanted man with several cases of motor vehicle theft pending in Nairobi and Kisumu. John Mbau, the second suspect, has similar cases, while Elijah Chege, the third suspect, is a small-time criminal recently introduced to serious crimes.

Faith Mwende, who betrayed her friend and conspired against her, is now in police custody as detectives complete their investigations. The kidnappers' tools of the trade, including cellotape, rope, mobile phones, sim cards, and Daisy's identity card were recovered from the scene.

Daisy's family is now rejoicing as they are finally reunited with their daughter after five days of anxiety and uncertainty. This story serves as a reminder of the triumph of hope and resilience over fear and evil. The swift action of the detectives and their unwavering commitment to justice have brought an end to this traumatic episode and given Daisy and her family a reason to celebrate.

NHIF Medical Heist; A Racket in the Health Sector in Mt Kenya region

Details have emerged of a major scandal that is ongoing unabated in the health sector in parts of Mt Kenya region. According to credible sources, reputable politicians - Governors, MPs and Senators, in collusion with corrupt NHIF-accredited hospitals, have devised a scheme to extract funds from the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) by promising free medical treatment to elderly citizens suffering from various ailments.

The scheme begins with announcements made in churches in villages, promising free medical clinics for the elderly. The senior citizens, eager to receive treatment and ease the burden on their families, are then transported to hospitals in Nairobi and surrounding areas.

In Murang'a County for example, an announcement was made in all Churches on Sunday that all elderly people with ailments would be treated for free in a free medical clinic courtesy of Governor Irungu Kang'ata and the local MCAs.

Upon arrival, the elderly were told that the medical examinations and any necessary surgeries would be covered by NHIF. Initially, they had been told that the medical camp would be in Mwea, Kirinyaga. However, upon being picked in two 14-seater matatus for their journey to the medical camp, they were told that the venue had been changed to Nairobi.

They were then taken to a hospital in Eastleigh called Truth Health Hospital. After some time, they were told that the hospital was overstretched. This necessitated some of them to be taken to St Peters Orthopedic Hospital in Muthiga, Kinoo, Kiambu County as the rest were left at the waiting room where they spent the night sleeping on the benches.

The following day, their personal details were taken as they proceeded to see the doctor. They were told not to worry as the medical examination was free and that any operation was going to be covered by NHIF. Interestingly, those who had NHIF cards were admitted while those without were treated as outpatients and taken home in one of the matatu's after general examinations.

It has since been discovered that the surgeries suggested and conducted were major medical procedures, such as knee-replacement surgery, regardless of the patients' actual ailments in order to extract the most amount of money from NHIF. Incidentally, a similar NHIF recruitment drive is underway in Kiambu County under Governor Kimani Wa Matangi.

The funds which run into millions of shillings are then split between the hospital owners and the politicians involved in planning and facilitating the medical heist. It is a sinister scheme that not only exploits the vulnerable elderly population, but also threatens to bankrupt NHIF and increase the health burden on the state by performing unnecessary surgeries.

Furthermore, it has been revealed that the hospitals involved in this racket are owned by individuals from outside the Mt Kenya region, adding to the injustice. The same seniors who were previously used as political props are now being subjected to this inhumane scheme.

If the government fails to stop racket, NHIF will be a thing of the past and millions of Kenyans who depend on the affordable medical scheme will be left vulnerable. It is imperative that the government investigates this matter and brings those responsible to justice.

The health and well-being of our citizens should not be used as a means to line the pockets of corrupt politicians and hospital owners. It is time for action to be taken to protect the integrity of the NHIF and the rights of the elderly citizens in Mt Kenya region.

Wife Of Man Who Drowned Together With Female Friend At Juja Dam Speaks

The wife of a man who drowned after the car they were in plunged into a dam at Titanic area in Juja, Kiambu county has broken her silence for the first time since the tragedy happened on Monday night.

According to Margaret Kiiru, her husband Tirus Maina was a businessman, eking out a living selling engineering machinery.

On the fateful day, she claims that her husband left home for work in the morning, and later called at around 7pm on Monday, saying he was in a business meeting in Juja.

It was the last time she spoke to him.

“My husband left home for work on Monday morning, and we spoke in the evening around 7pm. He said he was in Juja for a business meeting, I asked what he would want for dinner and that was the last time we spoke,” she said.

According to Kiiru, after their last conversation, Maina's phone went off and none of her messages were replied to.

“I called and sent him messages but he was unreachable, very unusual of him because he has always been accessible,” she told Citizen.Digital on Thursday.

According to Kiiru, it was not until Tuesday at around 2pm that she was called by a friend and told to report to Kimbo police station where she learnt about her husband’s demise.

The Titanic Dam is a well-known park-and-chill spot among the locals and revellers who love some unfettered outdoor fun.

At the banks of the dam, bottles of alcohol are seen scattered all over, a clear indication that people often party in the area.

According to the locals, the two were making merry in the car that was parked a few metres from the dam and at around 9.30 pm, they heard people screaming for help.

Maina was in the company of an identified woman and his body was retrieved on Wednesday and taken to City Mortuary together with the woman’s body where the wife identified him.

“Although I do not know her, I believe the woman who was with my husband that night was a friend, he had so many friends because of the nature of his business,” she said.

"I had planned to start business here in Kiambu and also pay fees for my children, but as we speak even money for food is a problem," she noted.

Fun Day Turns Tragic As Man, Woman Drown In Juja Dam

A man and a woman died on Tuesday night after a car they were in plunged into a dam at Titanic Area in Juja, Kiambu County.

According to the locals, the two were making merry in the car that was parked a few metres from the dam and at around 7.30 pm, they heard people screaming for help.

"I heard a woman screaming, she was in the dam trying to swim, trying to save herself but unfortunately there were no divers around. After the car plunged into the dam the woman managed to get out of the vehicle through the windows," Lucy Muthoni, a resident of the area, told Citizen Digital.

At the banks of the dam, bottles of alcohol are seen scattered all over a clear indication that people often party in the area.

"They park and chill around here every day but during the weekends you cannot even find a parking spot here, they flock here, drinking and enjoying themselves here. This is not the first case," one of the locals Brian Njoroge said.

Murera Ward MCA Moses Ngatha Wabiri said he will move a motion in the County Assembly of Kiambu, to make it compulsory for the county government to fence all the dams in Kiambu County to prevent such incidences from happening in the future.

"This is not the first time people are dying in this dam, we need to do something. We will make the county assembly set aside funds to fence these dams," Wabiri said.

The body of the woman was retrieved last night while that of the man who was found naked was retrieved this morning and taken to General Kago morgue in Thika.

The Nissan X-trail car has since been retrieved from the dam.
