80–95% of seeds planted by smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa come from farmer-managed seed systems, not seed companies. Africa also produces just 2% of the world's certified seeds. So who's really feeding Africa? Farmers are. Policy needs to catch up. 🫘🌍 #SeedSystems #FarmersMatter #AfricanAgriculture 🔗 https://t.co/zKM9FbW8sm

Ngong road is going to be the “face of Nairobi and Kenya in general” during Afcon 2027 for matches held in Talanta Stadium.

Suggestion: All building/land owners need to be “strongly encouraged” to improve the external architectural look of their property. Secondly we need proper non-motorized paths plus footbridges

Train yourself to handle life without ever borrowing money.

People who have access to you have no idea how unreachable you are to everyone else, until they become everyone else.

A reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear:

“It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”

Africa's crop wild relatives (the wild cousins of sorghum, millet, yam and cowpea) hold the drought and pest resistance traits we desperately need. Yet 70%+ are threatened. And African genebanks? Conserving just 14% of them. We are losing tomorrow's seeds today. 🧬🌍 #SeedSystems #AfricanAgriculture #FoodResilience

Life advice nobody told you: Build momentum early in the day. One small win in the morning creates energy that compounds throughout the day. 10 minutes of reading. A quick workout. A finished task. Great days are built on tiny wins that ripple. Small things become big things.

The older I get, the clearer it becomes: people don’t disappear into gardening, baking, books, and long walks because life got boring.
They do it because peace became priceless.

“I don’t think there’s anything simpler in life than the feeling of the breeze on your face,” says William Kamkwamba.

The sheer amount of grit and sacrifice required to build something isn't talked about enough.
