Keep off fake friends

A man named Bonnie Charmer posted a TikTok video where he urged Kenyans to steer clear of friends who don't encourage their ambitions.

He claimed such friends are only after stealing their star (nyota) and sabotaging their success.

He noted that many friends spend so much money on alcohol and vices that hasten their friend's downfall.

Charmer said:

"Not all friends can be trusted. Friends wengi wako na wewe so that they can get an opportunity to bring you down. They want to be close to you to so that they can get a good opportunity to stab you in the back."

Adding:

"Ataku'encourage kufanya vitu hazikusaidii kama kukimbiza wanawake, wababa, zile vitu zote anajua zitaku'distract from acheiving your goals." (They will encourage you to do unproductive things that will distract your aspirations).

Charmer said many people have wasted their lives because of trusting the wrong friends.
