Engagement
A typical post picks up 100 interactions against 171K followers, an engagement rate of 0.059%. Measured over 13 original posts, its engagement rate beats 49% of 21,185 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 9.8K times each, and 1.02% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.74% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 23% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 13 posts sampled, 31% carry an image or video and 8% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.0K interactions, about 10x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Gichuki Kahome's engagement rate beats 49% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 43% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 31% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 0% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 31% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 0% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 328 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

How much money do you need to earn KES 50,000 a month in passive income in Kenya? It depends entirely on where you put it: a) Infrastructure bond at 13% (tax-free): KES 4.6M b) Dividend king like BAT at 13% yield (after 5% tax): KES 4.9M c) 364-day T-bill at 9.04% (after 15% tax): KES 7.8M d) Money market fund at ~9% (after 15% tax): KES 7.8M e) Rental property at 6% yield (after 7.5% rental tax): KES 10.8M f) Bank savings account at 3.54%: KES 19.9M Same KES 50K a month. Choosing a bank savings account over an IFB means you need 4x more capital. This is why where you save matters as much as how much you save. What’s your monthly passive income target? 👇

Today the NSE had one of its worst days in years. The NSE All Share Index (NASI) fell 3.38%, wiping out KES 139.63Bn, more than the KES 125Bn lost in the worst Covid-era sell-off. Why is this happening? Should you panic-sell? Is the bull run over? 🧵

Before you sell your Equity Group shares, remember these words by Group CEO, Dr James Mwangi: “When you invest in Equity you don’t invest for yourself. This is a high growth stock, a high return stock. This is not for selling in the market. Its not for trading, its for holding. And the cash generated is enough to maintain your lifestyle. And you live the stock for your children.”

If I had KES 100,000 to start investing on the NSE today, I wouldn’t put it all in one stock. I’d split it into 3 buckets, each with a different job. Here’s how, with real numbers from current prices 🧵

The NSE bull run seems to have lost its momentum KCB closed below KES 90 Equity might close below KES 100 tomorrow With major central banks across the world hiking rates or expected to hike, it won't be a surprise to see CBK follow suit as inflation has been sticky. The NSE has also had a great run up over the last 3 years, Up 34% YTD and 120% over the last 3 years.

- What is Gichuki Kahome's engagement rate on X?
- Gichuki Kahome (@kahome_steve) has an engagement rate of 0.059%, based on the median interactions across 13 original posts from the last 30 days against 171,204 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.059%, Gichuki Kahome sits above the 25th percentile of the 212,567 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @kahome_steve have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 49% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @kahome_steve post?
- Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 2 posts per day across the measured window.
