WhatsApp etiquette - Politics and Religion 2

Politics and religion are two very controversial, divisive and emotional subjects. Every person has their own view on different subjects and rarely come to a common understanding.

To minimise confusion, learn to keep off (or at least minimize) these two topics in both professional and large groups (i.e WhatsApp) where people share different opinions towards the two. 

If you must address them, do so in such a way that you don't necessarily belittle your colleagues/other members who share a different opinion from yours, as this will lead to heated exchanges and worse still, members will withdraw from the group because of shifting from the purpose the group was created for. 

As much as we work and live in political environments, not everyone one of us is interested in politics itself. On religion, some people prefer not to talk so much/anything about it.

It's just a matter of being sensitive to others. 

We are in many political and religious forums, let's utilize those to air our views out to people who will appreciate, reciprocate and won't get offended.

Wash Wash (Money Laundering) explained

"Wash Wash" (Money Laundering) explained in layman's terms.

1. Cleansing "dirty" money.

2. Putting "dirty" money into the "clean" system

3. Making proceeds from "illegal" trade to become "legal"...

Money laundering is the process of making illegally-gained proceeds (i.e., "dirty money") appear legal (i.e., "clean"). Typically, it involves three steps: placement, layering, and integration. ... Finally, it is integrated into the financial system through additional transactions until the "dirty money" appears "clean".

Eg... You stole KES 20B (in cash) from another country. You (an events company in Kenya) purport to hold an event the most expensive hotel in Nairobi, host an international "prominent" artiste, make "entrance fee" to be ambiguous i.e charge Ksh 10k booking rates, Ksh 100k VIP rate... and Ksh 50k at the entrance.

Then..

Make as many tickets as possible, give out through radio shows while marketing the event... And of course, give many "complementary tickets" to University of Nairobi students 🤣🤣... After the event, go bank 10million... If they ask you source of your money, you show them the counterfoils of the tickets that People "purchased" to attend the "expensive event"... 

Repeat the process with many other musicians and events untill all Your 20B is safe in your accounts...

I hope you understand better. 💯

WhatsApp Etiquette - Politics and Religion 1

My Take....

1. Politics and Religion are EMOTIVE

2. Politics and Religion are DIVISIVE

Not everyone in a group will share same views on the above topics...

Each group has people from different religious beliefs and backgrounds, not necessarily same as yours. Keep in mind when sending in your Bible verses that not everyone is a Christian...

Each group has people with diverse political opinions, not necessarily same as yours. Keep in mind as you send that "Baba" post that not everyone is amicus Baba...

In official and professional groups, the above subjects should be addressed with caution and better still avoided in totality.

It's important to respect group rules in order not to offend other participants who may not necessarily "Leave" the group, being official or professional (important) and may not be brave enough to ask you to stop posting political and religious posts.

It's okay to discuss political and religious topics in groups specially opened/created and meant for that purpose.

Polite reminder, not everyone likes these many "forwarded" posts. Regulate number of forwarded messages as the team members could have received the same thing from another group. Many forwarded messages could be scam which innocent members may end up clicking on links and be scammed.

Men With Daughters...

 1. Know that from day one, she’ll always be your little girl. But you have to put in the effort to keep it that way.

2. Don’t assume or influence what her interests will be because she’s a girl. Don’t just point out flowers and dolls. Show her cars and LEGOs, too.

3. Let her help you around the house or with your work. She’ll grow up to be a woman who feels confident stepping up in the workplace, no matter the job.

4. Talk to her mama like an equal, not an inferior, and she’ll someday expect the same.

5. Show her your sensitive side. She’ll see that if she’s sensitive, too, it doesn’t make her weak.

6. Have inside jokes or games, just between the two of you. Trust me, she’ll remember them forever.

7. Encourage her to do the things that scare her, because you’ll always have her back.

8. Make her promises, and then keep them. The only heartbreak in her life should come from others who don’t know how special she is.

9. Show her the skills that you know well.

10. Ask her to show you the skills that she knows well and you don’t.

11. Attempt to understand her interests even when you don’t. You’ll teach her that no matter what her talents are — ballet, art or wrestling with the boys— they matter.

12. This is especially true if her interests are more “girly.” Teach her that her interests are just as important no matter what they are.

13. If you wouldn’t say it to a son, don’t say it to your daughter.

14. When she comes to you with a problem, don’t brush her off or tell her to go to her mother. Listen. She’ll come back.

15. Don’t talk about her changing body, or interest in sexuality, with disgust. You’ll only teach her that she should be ashamed of it.

16. Don’t talk about other’s women’s bodies in an objectifying or demeaning way. She’s listening, and then examining her own.

17. Talk about strong women in front of her, not just strong men, and she’ll aspire to be them someday, and will know she has a chance.

18. Work stuff out with her mother in front of her. She’ll see that women deserve a voice in relationships and will look for someone who will appreciate hers.

19. Don’t joke about having a shotgun when boys come over. You’ll only teach her that you don’t trust her judgement.

20. Stand up for injustice and the oppressed. Believe the oppressed when they say they’re oppressed. You’ll show her compassion and that there’s nothing unmanly or inferior about doing what is right.

21. If you lead by example, you won’t need to scare the bad boys away. She’ll want better.

22. If there is a bad boy in the bunch, make sure you’re there if her heart should break. Chances are, it will. Make yourself available for her to turn to, and not back to him.

23. Tell her that the only person in charge of what happens to her body is her.

24. Compliment her, and her mother, often.

25. Tell her you love her. Text her about the game. Let her know that no matter what, you’ll always be there.
