POV: Your salary is GHS 3,000 and rent is GHS 2,500 😭
So we asked, what would it take for Accra (or any African city) to build 100,000 ACTUALLY affordable homes?

And then their generation turns around and tells us, ‘mo anya ne fɔ.’ Imagine being fed five times a day, having your own room, jobs already waiting for you, and even being able to work while attending regular school-plus so many other advantages. Yet somehow, you still think the younger generations aren’t working hard enough.
I raise you Nupe people…
More than a decade ago we went to Kwara State, to a small Nupe village there for a wedding. My grandma was living in that village… and from the moment we arrived, you could tell life there followed rules nobody really explained. You don’t announce when you’re coming, you don’t announce when you’re on the road, and you don’t even really announce when you’re leaving because something bad might happen to you.
My grandma wasn’t warm to us in public at all, always frowning, always shouting at us whenever people were around. But in private, she showed love in her own quiet way. If she openly showed too much affection again, something bad would happen to us. So she constantly warned us, like even joy itself was something dangerous in that place. She used to say if you act too happy, something terrible might follow.
One day, something happened that I still can’t fully explain if I wasn’t there…
Lloyd's of London had a $200 million problem floating 210 miles above Earth. So they called NASA and said: go get our satellites back.
NASA charged them $5.5 million. For that price, they got two astronauts in nitrogen jetpacks, flying untethered at 17,500 mph, manually stopping spinning satellites by jamming a spike into their rocket nozzles, then having a third astronaut swing them into the shuttle cargo bay with a robotic arm.
The first retrieval went wrong. The grapple fixture didn't work. Joe Allen had to hold a 9,600-pound satellite over his head by its antenna for an entire 90-minute orbit while Gardner bolted an adapter to the bottom. His wife radioed from Houston: "Make sure there are no pigeons on your shoulders."
They did the second satellite two days later. Ran an hour ahead of schedule.
When Discovery landed at Kennedy Space Center, a Customs official (arranged by NASA pranksters) confronted the crew about duties owed on $200 million in imported satellite equipment. Lloyd's awarded them silver medals, flew them to London on the Concorde, and arranged tea with Prince Charles.
Gardner held up a "For Sale" sign next to the satellites. The jetpack he used was permanently retired. No human has flown untethered in space since.
$5.5 million for a $200 million repo. The best ROI in insurance history came from two guys in jetpacks.

Yesterday, I saw a 5 year old in my clinic, I asked, "Pretty one, what's your name?"
Her: Akeelah
So I engaged her in a 7 minutes hot spelling bee as her mother watched in admiration
Then I asked, do you know why I'm doing this?
Her, with the broadest smile: Akeelah and the bee😂
I literally know a guy that made millions selling his cure for prostate cancer to big pharma. He cured himself and had a “98%” success rate in curing prostate cancer. He told me that the FDA and big pharma just kept slapping him with red tape to the point where he finally gave up. He was also worried about losing his life. So he sold his technology to big business. For millions. They buried it. He moved to a ranch. And gave up on most of humanity.
Sadly this is true. We are being murdered in many different ways.
God bless
