🔹To be honest, staff at RGM International Airport are usually decent, professional, and respectful compared to those in some other parts of Africa. In contrast, bribes are mostly solicited by traffic police, government employees in certain offices, and private companies.

Harare has a very nice control tower. Probably the most creative in Africa

[Larry Madowo @LarryMadowo]

Nobody asked me for a bribe at the Harare airport. In fact, they were quite nice and welcoming

[Larry Madowo @LarryMadowo]

Here's why I'm saying nobody demanded a bribe https://t.co/Z3kzKtlUeM

You can go around telling people you have loved now that you have been to the best country in Africa🙏🏾.

We remember Melanie Greer Huff, who guided generations of students during her nearly 40 years at Columbia Journalism School. She joined the J-School as an office assistant and worked in admissions, career and academic services and student life before becoming dean of students.

India, China, Europe, USA and Russia all grew as blocs cos scale & large markets are very important for growth. Africa will have to do the same.. it must cut deals together if possible, must also breakdown all trade & logistics barriers within the continent & educate its people

[Mortar Cristi @Moros_kuanos]

Putin's appeal is targeted at African politicians, when you say Russia would allow African states to rule and act as they wish you're inviting dictatorship and wars. We don't want to be Eritrea, we know the role the west plays and it's importance. GTH.

Larry even if you invited me today lets say I establish somthing on your farm and you gave me ice cream i will take, the main point is i came for the hustle and i got ice cream is just addition🤣🤣

[Larry Madowo @LarryMadowo]

Final thoughts on the just concluded Russia-Africa Summit.

I won't summarize anything in the video because most people comment on the post without watching it

[Miranda Sabukie Osabutey @RealOsabutey]

Well spoken Larry. If African leaders are seeking deals then looks like whoever serves their utmost interest will ultimately win their partnership. It’s that simple.

[Fabius Mulongo @FabiusMulongo]

There appears to be an asymmetry in strategic priorities, with Moscow pursuing clearly defined geopolitical interests while African states approach these engagements largely through bilateral arrangements, often without a coordinated negotiating position on issues. This raises a fundamental question about Africa's collective bargaining power.

When you pitch a startup idea to investors

Waiting to see a Nigeria-Asia summit or a Nigeria-Europe summit.

Then we will have European leaders doing a meet and greet with the president of Nigeria 🇳🇬.

These summits piss me off, man.

[Ivar The Boneless @roomthinker]

African leaders putting the ‘Cow’ in “Moscow” 🤦🏾‍♂️

African Leaders thinking. Exchanging one
