The laws of demand and supply are in play... the expectation was that the market would 'flood' as soon as many farmers' flocks matured at once but the demand would remain the same. what is different in this case is that demand has suffered from bad publicity all over. no one may want it by next week or a week after that.

The problems with Kenyans is lack of originality. Let me give you an example,along Moi Avenue there used to exist only Mcfrys afew years ago. What did Kenyans do? They started setting up right next to Mcfrys. Now we have so many fast foods along that stretch. You want another example? Simu ya jamii..'naf said. I can go on and on...examples abound,in agriculture, white collar jobs to biz. Ironically, we are running out of well trained artisans. Sooner or later, the bubble will burst. WHO DARES WINS

For a bird that eats only 10% of what a chicken does and occupies just a tenth of the space of a chicken, the cost of its egg should be at most 10% of the cost of a chicken egg i.e. 1bob. So at 10bob, the quail eggs are 10x their market value. Thus the farmers are still getting hyper profits. The bubble will burst when the price of the eggs gets to <1bob.

Sooner or later, the bubble will burst. This to me is very wrong and most worrying. Wonder what the gava will do to correct this before we get into a crisis?

My cousin didn't perform well in KCSE in 2012. I told the dad point blank not to bother taking him to private university. My reasoning was if his marks could not take him to public uni why waste money on fees yet he may never get that dream job. Seems the dad listened to logic. The kid is enrolling to do a diploma in plumbing at a technical college soon. WHO DARES WINS

Sooner or later, the bubble will burst. Get in EARLY then when the flooding starts, move to the next thing - being among the pioneers. I know a fellow who has built a magnificent house thanks to the quail-a-mid scheme. He started with the pioneers. He had bought a plot somewhere. He built a mabati house for himself and enclosure for the quails. He went overdrive. soon he was selling the birds and eggs at a premium. People used to book in advance!!! Now he has built one hell of a residence with the quail money and has noticed the flooding so as we speak he has moved to a different business as he gradually reduces his quail numbers!!! Simu ya jamii made people rich. In a big estate there could only be one. People had to line up. MPesa business has also made people rich - before there was one on every corner. Phone selling business made millionaires. There was a time the lowest profit margin per phone [the simplest phone those days] was 4,000/=! You could sell 10 phones a day and make a cool 100,000/= in profits!!! Then everyone started selling phones - including Chinese hawkers!!! You need guts and balls of steel. Recognize new opportunities [untested waters], jump in and see where it takes you! Also know the best time to get out! At times you might getting burnt. At times you might make millions from a couple of thousands in record time!!! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

My point was that when I walk on Koinange street and Moi Avenue etc I see campuses of Egerton, Moi, JKUAT, maseno, Masinde Muliro etc etc hapo gorofani. There is nothing wrong with attending those campuses/unis.

If that is you point, then it is okay. There is nothing wrong with "gorofani" or CBD. One of the best Business Schools in Kenya and Africa - KIM - is situated "gorofani" in the CBD. And public universities with solid courses and faculty also have campuses in the CBD. My issue was that you should be careful with the University you are enrolling into - not necessarily the physical location. the only problem is that the CBD is littered with universities not worth their salt! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
