The Guardian says Sierra Leone is a narco state. The numbers say otherwise.

- About 2 homicides per 100,000 people, against a global average of 6.1

- 8th most peaceful country in Africa (Global Peace Index 2026)

- The UN Office on Drugs and Crime puts the global average at 6.1 per 100,000, and Africa's at 13. Drug offences recorded by Salone police in 2025? 448 cases, mostly kush, tramadol and cannabis. Cocaine cases were low.

- The UK government's own investment arm is still putting money into Sierra Leone

Crime is rising, and we should say so. But a crime problem is not a narco state.

Why I disagree with the Guardian and many of my friends:

We have to ‘promote’ and ‘circulate’ this type of NEWS! These are ‘talented skilled’ Brothas exhibiting Leadership. If it was going the other way, these same Brothas would be gettin dragged publicly on all major outlets.

Trevor Noah is the greatest export we ever made, just listen to how he answered the “White Genocide” question on this interview, such a true patriot of the country. 🙌🏾🇿🇦.

The Bicco Bike Bus is a large group bike designed to allow one adult driver to easily transport ten children with only pedal power.

Used in the Netherlands to get to school, it is an original way to offer kids fun and exercise

In 1948, a photo summarized centuries of injustice. The man in suit and tie, standing before photographers, broke into tears. He was George Gillette, leader of the Mandan, Arikara, and Hidatsa tribes of the Missouri River.

The document in his hands was not a negotiated settlement. It was the forced secession of ancestral lands from his people to the U.S. government. More than 150,000 native ancestral acres, full of homes, schools, churches, and fertile fields. The US government forced him to hand over the land so they could flood it all by building the Garrison dam.

Gillette knew that with his signature he sealed a permanent tragedy. But if he didn’t, the tribes would receive NO compensation, The US government would simply take the land. Through tears he said "Today we sign under protest. Our hands are tied, but our hearts are sad."

The dam flooded entire villages, erased old communities, and buried centuries of indigenous history.

We must not whitewash American history in our schools.

🚨FINALLY: A man finally stands at a microphone and predicts precisely what will happen in this morning. ICE, DHS, and the Trump administration will lie on this man to cover up the inhumanity occurring in our country whose soul has been amputated by a group of rich PDF files.🔥🇺🇸

Holy shit Biden tears into Trump and he sounds great:

“The reflecting pool reflects something even worse than the narcissism and incompetence at the core of this administration. It’s the corruption. The corruption. The brazen, blatant corruption. Corruption on a scale never seen before in American history in any administration.

Trump has made billions of dollars since returning to the White House. Simply stunning to me.

He has no shame. Frankly, it’s embarrassing for the country. Trump couldn’t care less.

Making money off the presidency is one of the reasons he wants to be president.”

The most amazing thing I have seen in a long time.

[Black Journals @blackJournals01]

The man who invented the operation that saves babies born with blue-baby syndrome had no medical degree, no college degree, and was listed on the payroll as a JANITOR.

He guided the first operation from a stool behind the surgeon's shoulder, telling him where to cut.

Vivien Thomas. He had been saving to study medicine when the 1929 crash wiped out his savings and the bank holding them.

He took a job as a lab assistant at Vanderbilt for a janitor's wage, because that was the classification available.

Within a couple of years he was running experimental surgery — developing techniques, performing operations on his own, training surgeons.

He moved to Johns Hopkins with Alfred Blalock in 1941, where he was still paid as a janitor and had to enter through a back door.

He was the only Black man in that building not carrying a mop.

He worked out the surgical fix for tetralogy of Fallot — the condition killing infants who turned blue and died — and built the instruments for it.

The first operation on a child was in 1944. Blalock, who had never done the procedure, asked Thomas to stand behind him and talk him through it.

The surgeons on the paper became world famous. Thomas was not credited.

Hopkins hung his portrait in 1971 and gave him an honorary doctorate in 1976. Generations of surgeons he personally trained insisted on it.

He was paid as a cleaner while inventing heart surgery.

Nigeria's 🇳🇬 Professor Doctor Samuel Achilefu invented infrared goggles that help doctors detect cancer cells during surgery.

The goggles ensure no tumor cells are left behind, glowing blue when cancer is found.

He holds 59 patents in the United States of America.

The idea vaccines cause autism was invented by Andrew Wakefield in 1998 in a fraudulent paper.

It's was so thoroughly debunked he lost his license for gross medical malpractice

And here we are 28 years later RFK Jr is dredging it up and using it to inform vaccine policy
