As a Kenyan, which ironically is one of the most Westernized African countries, I will take China, hell, even Russia at this point over the US. And to hear people in my country talk, or to observe trends in the continent, I do not think I am alone.

@SafaricomPLC always missing the moment. Yaani you couldn't give a data offer jana when it was not only necessary but critical?

Anywho, let's go Faith💪

Many say Albert was killed due to bruised egos, is it really?

Remember that Shakespeare quote 'though doth protest too much' to mean the more severe the response the more likely it is the truth

This is not about ego but a truth that hit too close to home.

@RebeccaYarros Jesus Christ, you wrote a perfect book. You made me feel everything, joy, pain, heartbreak, love...

You made me laugh out loud a lot...scream in frustration, aaah, thank you for this book. Time to flip the page and begin again🥰🥰

Oh well, here 🥂is to hoping it's temporary and not the beginning of a permanent "call me mama" condition

[M.W. MUIRU @MWMuiru]

The brain is such a deceitful creature.

Consider this: the word "mama" has existed since time began.

So, why on earth would a brain decide that somebody's son pronunciation of "mama" (as endearment) is a thing so entirely apart, it deserves a heartbeat-raising brain loop?

Why has intra-African trade lagged behind?

3. The high tariff and non-tariff barriers that exist between African countries.

- After independence, African countries so focused on trading with the West that they forgot to lower trade barriers among themselves 😳

When Gen Nyagah decided to leave DR Congo, the Congolese leader noted that Kenya directly appointed another force commander "without consultation as if this force belonged only to Kenya."

🌍✨ Welcome to today's #AfCFTAFriday! 🚀

Let's dive into the vital topic of why intra-African trade has fallen behind. 📉

By understanding the hindrances to intra-African trade, we'll unlock the key to increasing it.

Finally ( the real one), someone said the worst thing about Twitter Blue for Africans is that many Africans will be locked out of local & relevant content.

This scenario is playing out for me in real life (3)

👇🏾

[M.W. MUIRU @MWMuiru]

Since Twitter started prioritising Twitter Blue for the'For You' page, my 'For You' sucks

Why, for instance, is my page filled with coronation tweets from verified accounts IN EUROPE when:
1. Didn't engage with any coronation content
2. I'm a gazillion miles away from Europe(🌍)

[M.W. MUIRU @MWMuiru]

Second, my 'For You' page has become crazy repetitive.

I kid you not, I've seen the same tweet 10 times🤦🏽‍♀️

Last but not least, is there a special algorithm that boosts Elon's tweets?Sure, I follow him, but must I see his tweets every 2 seconds?

Anywho,I've opted to unfollow (2)

[M.W. MUIRU @MWMuiru]

@N_afterthought Same vibe.
