let the kid go to school and learn, education is permanent, and opens doors, but bizn is 50-50. and with that she has the excuse of saying "sina pesa niko shule" to her nagging relatives.

Who said she is a kid?
There are house helps who are in mid life!!

The girl is 20yrs old. She got a C- in KCSE.

kuna wazuans wengi hawakupata hiyo.masomo iendelee.there are many courses with that grade. don't waste her. she seems sharp only circumstances couldn't let her do better in kcse.with a bridging course she can even take a degree in business admin in some private universities like kemu!

intuition boss, turns out i was right!!

@jaggernaut, how much of this money is remaining after the party and the last past days.
Ask your friend to follow @newfarer advice.

the best thing with education is that no body can take it from her. business can go down especially if you don't have the skills.education gives the means business gives the ends. its safer to gamble with the means than the ends.
I don't think there is anyone who has ever regreted going to school but there are many business heartbreaks.

if I was her parent, I would be a proud father if she told me she is going to school but rather disappointed if she says she is starting a bizna with the whole amount. a small bizna as she learns business skills is ok but education is a must.


if you ask kalembe and muthama deep in their heart, they will tell you the same thing

A 20 year old should be in school.

Huh!! You must be today's wazua biggest comedian.
Talk is cheap,very cheap, but reality is something else.
Wish you had even suggested a tuk tuk!
The intricasies involved in purchasing and developing a piece of land can drive one nuts.
And who said mabati is cheap? Have you ever tried to construct a simple cow shed or nyumba ya kuku?
Jeez! it looks cheap wait till you start it.
Do you know the kind of tenants cheap mabati structures attract? short term.wapita njia.
They enter and leave using handcarts when things get tough. The amount of Wear and tear will be something else cz she will be left covering holes on walls.


And why assume that she has 500k at her disposal??
As we keep offering suggestions the money keeps reducing rem!
-She threw a bash so how much d u think she's got left?
-She must have a mother or dad back home that she must thank(say buy them a goat)for struggling to educate her to that level.
-She could be having siblings in school in dire need of school uniforms.
-I believe she has other pressing and personal needs to sort out as well.Those which her meagre salary cannot.

Now put all those into consideration before you talk about plots and mabati.

Ok even if we go plot's way,how much does a useful plot cost?
How much will she be left with after paying some lawyer,title deed blablabla.
Unless she decides to buy a thorny thicket or shrub in some very remote and dry place, I doubt that money will be enough to put up structures that will generate reasonable income.

Education is the key to life. That is the standard motto in all schools.

I concur with @essyk, Education is the key to life.

Its what you do with the education that matters,unfortunately majority are crying that there are no jobs even after holding a degree.

The greatest mistake they all make is going for what every Tom,Dick and Harry is going for,you got to be different from everyone else,its like marketing a new product in the market,how you market it, determines how far you will go.

And two, changing you strategy as often as possible if the first one doesn't work.

AENDE SHULE,KAZI ZIPO!!!
