The key to saving the environment is not looking backward, it’s moving forward.

I realized this the first time I visited Italy twenty years ago. Everything was clean and green. The rivers sparkled. The lesson for me was obvious: the answer is not underdevelopment. The answer is progress.

When China was poor, the air was so polluted that people could barely see the blue sky. Today, blue skies have returned to their cities. Development does not only create wealth, it also provides the resources needed to restore and protect the environment.

Some environmentalists want us to preserve every aspect of our biodiversity, including the mosquitoes for example, so that researchers can fly in once every ten years from their universities (which build particle accelerators and billion-dollar laboratories with their pocket money), study our ecosystems, and count how many people died from dengue outbreaks.

They want to buy our air through carbon credits. If carbon credits were such a great deal, they would be selling them to us, not the other way around.

Cleaning every river, lake, and water source in El Salvador, and ensuring they remain clean and sparkling, would cost roughly $12 billion. Where is that money supposed to come from without economic development? Carbon credits?

The path forward for our country is the path of Japan and Singapore, not the path of the Congo.

Colonialism left foundations. We got corrupt, puppet leaders who stole, bad policies, and zero maintenance culture. We should blame ourselves.

Le Président du Bénin, S.E. Romuald Wadagni, a fait un gouvernement de 24 membres, pas plus. Chaque membre de son gouvernement à un compte LinkedIn et son CV disponible en ligne. En matiere casting, j'ai rarement vu un effectif aussi compétent en Afrique.

FDI inflows, 2024:

Tanzania: USD 1,649 million
Rwanda: USD 873 million

Tanzania attracts nearly double Rwanda's FDI, on a much larger base.

@McinikaWaLamar @prossoff If you undepay Civil servants and then blame them for everything, you'll just end up with no civil servants or creative ones.

🇬🇭This Easter, I looked at global data on religion, trust, and income. I start with income.

Richer countries tend to be less deeply religious—but the story isn’t that simple.

There is a clear negative relationship between income and deep religiosity (belief + regular attendance).

But important differences remain:
• High religiosity in much of Sub-Saharan Africa (particularly #Ghana and #Nigeria)
• Very low levels in parts of Europe
• The United States stands out
• Emerging economies like India and Brazil sit in between but with important difference

This is not a causal claim—but a striking global pattern.
