I have opinions. I just don't share them

[Musa Ronalds @MusaaRonalds]

Let me educate you not with anger, but with truth. You assume South Africans lack exposure. You assume we believe other African countries are poor and undeveloped. That is not the case. We know the reality. We know Nigeria has oil. We know Ghana has gold. We know Kenya has tech. We know Botswana has diamonds. We know Zambia has copper. We know Zimbabwe has platinum and lithium. We know the DRC sits on $24 trillion in minerals. We know Africa is rich.

But here is what you do not understand, wealth beneath the ground does not translate to prosperity above it. You can have all the minerals in the world but if your leaders steal, your constitutions hostile towards humans rights, if your institutions are corrupt, if your people are divided by tribe, if your healthcare collapses, if your schools crumble, if your youth flee then you are poor. Not in resources. In governance. In accountability. In dignity.

We do not look down on Africa. We look at the mirror Africa refuses to face. We see our own flaws corruption, unemployment, crime and we fight them. We protest. We vote. We demand better. That is what makes us different. We do not run. We stay. We build. We hold our leaders accountable, even when it hurts.

You say we lack exposure. But we see you. We see your leaders flying overseas to get treated, some in our country to get medical treatment, while your children starve. We see your ports exporting raw minerals while your people have no jobs. We are not blind. We are not ignorant. We are honest.

The difference between South Africa and many other African countries is not wealth. It is the willingness to confront failure. We own ours. You run from yours. That is not a lack of exposure. That is a lack of accountability. And until you fix that, no mineral, no resource, no tweet will save you. Go home. Fix your house. Then talk to us about exposure.

There’s a wealth threshold beyond which money stops changing your lifestyle. At that level, Dangote and Elon Musk can enjoy virtually the same luxuries.

I still remember when bamburi cement wanted to construct a road for free for locals to use . They went to the county government for approvals ,the county government refused and wanted bamburi cement to give them the money meant for construction of the road . 🤣🤣🤣

Well now. Isn’t this interesting. So much for the patriarchy.

Beautiful essay on adult friendship

[Hereafter @idyllicmusing]

This study found that mothers carrying boys showed a significantly larger increase in breast volume as early as the first trimester compared to those carrying girls. What’s wild is that the researchers found the difference was so distinct, breast volume increase was actually a more reliable predictor of the fetus's sex than many traditional physical "signs" combined. By the 32nd week, the volume difference between mothers of boys and girls in the study was a massive 141.32 ml. Since male fetuses require more energy and accumulate mass quicker, the maternal body physically scales up to keep up.

I need all career + business women to assemble and flex what your craft has done for you before we lose all the young girls to the ‘soft life+no career+find a provider’ mentality😭

The favourite moment of my broadcasting career - Kenya's Sabastian Sawe broke the 'impossible' sub 2 hour barrier at @LondonMarathon.

I was live with @MartineBBC on @BBCNews & @BBCWorld talking about Tigst Assefa's record when Sawe flew past!🇰🇪

I'm just not sure that I really have the bandwidth to care anymore. For my entire life, I've been fed the idea that if we provide food, medicine, money, and infrastructure to Africans, then they will eventually find their way out of their miserable situation. But they haven't and in all likelihood, they never will. In fact, everything we do to help them just seems to make it even worse.

No one - absolutely no one - takes pleasure in seeing children starve. But the constant violence and war and killing and raping and starving and poverty and illness...it's just neverending. I'm at the point where I just think we need to let nature take its course and let their population naturally reduce to a level they can independently sustain.

We can't fix these people, and we're going to have to just accept that killing each other is just how they go about their lives.

My "Roman Empire is the realization that my life is a lottery win. Somewhere in Sudan, Pålestine, iran, Afghanistan, Iraq or Congo, there is a boy smarter than me. He is more disciplined, more resilient, and holds more potential in his single finger than I do in my entire career.
The only difference? I am siting in a train and he is sting in the rubble of his dreams.
My "bad days" are his wildest dreams.
My "burnout" is a luxury he can't afford because his only job is staying alive.
It's geographical luck and it's a haunting injustice that we all refuse to acknowledge and look away

—Only female bees produce honey-male bees only mate with the queen, they don’t work, they don’t defend the hive. Their only role is to mate.
—Only female ants make up the colony-Males exist mainly to mate with queens during nuptial flight and they die shortly after. The entire colony (workers, soldiers) are female.
—Only female plants produce fruits-Male plants only produce pollen. Female plants produce the actual fruit
—Only female spiders sometimes survive after mating-Males mainly exist to find and mate with females. Sometimes they even get eaten after mating.

Every other male species are inferior but somehow human males think nature made them superior.

@AlpacaAurelius Honestly, humans will overthink everything.

Just live and enjoy your life.

@JohnnyTuckerMF @DefiantLs If your wife is in the labor room with a complicated delivery, and the doctor tells you to either choose wife and loose the child or save the child and loose the wife, what would you pick?
This kinda elaborates who comes first I think.
