@SarahWahinya For me, it’s adaptability. You can be doing one thing today and something completely different the next, so you’re always learning and adjusting.

I also used to be very introverted, but over time I've become more outgoing and a lot more comfortable connecting with people.

The closing panel of the Freedom Tech Track at the 2026 @OsloFF brought together @ihate1999, @AnaiseKanimba, @obi, and @waithiraah to discuss one of the most important questions in the bitcoin ecosystem: how do we make bitcoin practical for everyday people?

A key theme throughout the discussion was that Africa represents one of the largest opportunities for bitcoin adoption globally. From payments and savings to financial inclusion and economic freedom, the continent is already demonstrating real-world bitcoin use cases at scale.

The conversation explored how builders, entrepreneurs, and advocates are creating tools that expand freedom, reduce barriers to access, and make bitcoin more useful in people's daily lives.

My first @OsloFF and I wasn't prepared for what I heard today, the stories and courage shared on that stage have left me with chills.

A few takeaways that stayed with me:

📌 Freedom is not waiting for change, it’s building it.
📌 Even in moments of waiting, people can create alternatives and prepare for the moment when change becomes possible.
📌 Build and support governments in exile.
📌 Dismantle dictatorships and replace them with something better.
📌 Only the people save the people.

A huge amount of respect to the freedom fighters, builders, activists, and human rights defenders who refuse to be silenced and continue showing up despite the risks.

Your courage is inspiring👏

Last year, the US government said some African governments refused to participate in its forced deportation programme for illegal migrants. Ghana volunteered to collect them and help dump them.
In 2022, the British government decided it no longer wished to host asylum seekers on its own territory and needed somewhere to offload them. Rwanda raised its hand.
In 2016, the United States decided it could not keep certain Guantanamo Bay prisoners in its own facilities. Ghana openly agreed to receive them on African soil.
And now the United States has decided it cannot repatriate its own Ebola patients to its own vastly superior medical infrastructure. Kenya has offered to build them a treatment centre.

Every time a Western government identifies something it considers too dangerous, too embarrassing, too legally complicated or too politically inconvenient to keep on its own territory, there is always an African government somewhere ready to collect it.

Deportees, asylum seekers, terror suspects, infectious disease patients. The willingness of certain African leaders to position their countries as the world’s surrogate waste management service, in exchange for whatever diplomatic or financial token has no visible floor.

There will always be morally bankrupt opportunists in government who will not look at the safety of their people, the dignity of their flag or the solidarity owed to the oppressed, and will instead compete to be the most useful to the powerful.

This is a PR disaster for the United States.

[SokoAnalyst @SokoAnalyst]

By agreeing to host infected USA citizens with Ebola, President Ruto has abdicated his core mandate as the Protector of the People of Kenya, & this is an impeachable offence. In fact, it is treason against the People of Kenya.

How do you deliberately allow the entry of a disease that could potentially kill all your citizens? Ruto's GREED needs to be stopped.

Safaricom has made remarks to Parliament on the Finance Bill 2026:

— It warns mobile money fees could go up by up to 18.4% if new tax changes are passed
— It questions why, unlike banks and other financial institutions, it is not exempt from issuing electronic tax invoices for service fees despite offering similar services
— It is asking that M-Pesa receipts be accepted as valid tax invoices
— It raises concerns about how income tax rules apply to expenses like promotional prizes
— It is questioning whether e-invoicing should mainly apply to transaction taxes rather than income tax rules

The video was barely two minutes long when Yvonne picked up from where CS Mbadi had left off. She carefully explained the issue, reminding the CS about honesty and the need to make public how taxes collected from citizens are used in government expenditure.

[Willis Evans Otieno @otienowill]

If Kenya agrees to host U.S. Ebola patients and the disease subsequently breaches containment, the same powers pushing the arrangement will be the first to issue travel advisories, restrict movement, isolate our economy, and stigmatise the country internationally. Tourism would hemorrhage, investor confidence would collapse, trade corridors would suffer disruption, and ordinary Kenyans would bear the consequences of elite recklessness. Accepting such an arrangement without absolute institutional preparedness, transparency, and public consent would not merely be policy negligence, I view it as a form of economic sabotage bordering on national betrayal

[Nanyuki Billionaire🇰🇪 @lewis_ngunyi]

So the transport trucks that go from Congo to Mombasa will all pass by Laikipia Air Base in Nanyuki for screening?

Are you people not usually briefed or you're just happy to hop on the internet and be foolish for the boss?

Kenya-US Ebola bargain exposed

Kenya entered into two agreements under a global health diplomacy programme, allowing emergency facilities such as Ebola centres to be established in the country.

US experts are already on ground to build the Ebola facility. https://t.co/qtJs7rV7cu

In Singapore, Ruto would have been impeached by now.

On Ebola

A tiny error and ebola spreads across the republic. Deaths of citizens. Travel advisories. No visas for citizens. Tourists cancel. Layoffs. Economy takes a hit. Ebola spreads to schools. Schools must close. Chaos. Months. Elections cancelled. Orphans. Widows. Ujinga! ⚖️
