Friends who inspire, who are not intimidated, who do not instigate, and who intelligently show up when needed. May we have them; may we be them.

Since DRC Congo burnt down the quarantine facilities, Ebola has suddenly disappeared.

You’d need to sell a kidney to afford attending the 2026 World Cup matches

Just compare the prices of the 2022 World Cup and the 2026 World Cup.

You’ll be paying enormous amounts of money just to attend a match in hot weather, with the possibility of games being delayed due to weather warnings. And on top of that, you might buy a ticket and still not be allowed to enter the United States

Good morning,

WAKE UP!

No one is coming to rescue you.

• Not the government,

• Not your friends,

• Not luck.

The life you want is hidden behind work, sacrifice, discipline, and consistency.

Today is another opportunity to move one step closer.

Get up and go after it.

[ROYZ @royzkingin]

“Time will tell” is one of the realest quotes ever because time will eventually tell who put in the work, it will tell who was disciplined, it will tell who was playing the long game. Time will indeed tell.

Be good to people. Also let them know you don't fancy nonsense.

Selling future tax revenue, selling people for kafala labour, selling blood overseas and now selling government-generated data. Where does it stop?

Let’s talk about something as basic as gloves. One of the culture shocks I had in Germany is that in every patient’s room kuna 3 boxes of gloves in different sizes. Sometimes the healthcare workers will change gloves upto 5x when dealing with a single patient. Saa hiyo the most common phrase you’ll hear in KNH is “unawaste gloves/something else” and usually, the one or 2 boxes rotating in a ward are in the custody of a nurse and you have to walk around to find them or ask to get a pair. Mind you we’re not talking about a specialized medical device. Basic gloves.
But apparently we’re capable of handling another country’s epidemic.

Exactly... The way some of us enjoy that green both from above and on the ground... We will create our own local climate change.. Then we will pay for it forward.. With generations to come.. Micro and macro impact...

Sections of Uhuru Park will be hived off to "expand Uhuru Highway".

Parts of Karura Forest will be hived off "to plant tree seedlings and build rangers' accommodation units".

Parts of Nairobi National Park will be hived off "to construct parking yards for the new Bomas International Convention Centre".

Sections of Ngong Forest are being cut down for "the construction of the Ngong-Riruta rail line and an international resort and casino".

Practically every green and gazetted area within the Nairobi Metropolitan area is being targeted.

And this is place where scrutiny is highest.

Can you imagine what is happening in gazetted areas in the Rift Valley.

When pastoralists are in power, every green space is either pasture for "wega ngombe wagule yiote" or merely something to degazette, cut down and build some ugly concrete structure.

Scarcity mentality at birth.

I was arrested this morning together with fellow patriotic Kenyans during our procession to present a petition to the Kenya Wildlife Services against the excision of part of the Nairobi National Park to construct a 1300-car parking lot.

Our national heritage and environment must be safeguarded from greed and unnecessary destruction without public participation.

For years, East African aviation has been a Nairobi story.

Not anymore.

New data shows Tanzania now records more daily flights than Kenya, with 281 departures spread across five airports.

That wasn’t supposed to happen.

So how did a country long viewed as playing catch-up quietly build one of the continent’s most extensive aviation networks, and what does it tell us about where trade, tourism and investment in East Africa are headed?

Our latest analysis explores the shift.

The worst thing about this economic shock is that growth is slowing while inflation is rising. The Central Bank is stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea.

[Kashyap Sriram @kashyap286]

Firstly, Ethiopia is under US sanctions while Vietnam is not. And speaking of former French colonies, Haiti was the first to get independence (1804) and is still one of the poorest countries in the world because of the debt they had to take on to gain independence (it took them until 1947 to fully repay it!). Whereas, New Caledonia is still a French colony and is neither rich nor poor.

"If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor..."

This line completely ignores the European powers' (and US) post-colonial control over Africa. Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of the DRC, was tortured and killed by Belgium and the US for being a nationalist. His body was dissolved in acid so he wouldn't become a martyr. His legacy is largely unknown even within the continent. Several other such "lessons" were meted out. Google Thomas Sankara (Burkina Faso) and Sylvanus Olympio (Togo).

Once you set the example, you gain obedience. The VietCong, on the other hand, didn't surrender even though 3 million Vietnamese died during the war, and several thousand more continue to die to this day (!) from Agent Orange exposure.

As for former French colonies in Africa, France still controls their currency and holds their central bank reserves in France. As Rothschild purportedly said, "permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws."

Third, the borders in Africa were drawn in such a way that conflict was inevitable. At the Berlin Conference in 1884-85, the European powers simply carved up the continent by drawing straight line borders. African leaders were conspicuous only by their absence at this historic event which shaped the next century. This is why Cameroon, a French-speaking country, has a minority English-speaking territory, ensuring it remains destabilized. Likewise for West Asia/the Middle East, where the Sykes-Picot legacy lives on.

@magattew conflates formal colonial rule with colonial control. Vietnam managed to fully kick out both France and the US, reunified the North and the South, and kept its sovereignty. All African leaders who attempted the same have been systematically eliminated (see Muammar Gaddafi, Libya's divisive leader, for a recent example), ensuring Africa forever bears the open wounds of its colonial legacy.

But Ms. Wade is right on one thing: Vietnam owes its prosperity to overcoming colonial rule. Maybe Africa can become prosperous if Africans do the same.

When someone chooses to have an uncomfortable conversation instead of avoiding you, it's often a sign that they respect you and value the relationship.

Most people choose comfort and distance. Few are willing to face awkwardness to repair what's broken.
