While waiting for our induction in medical school after the final result was released, the faculty excluded my name from graduation list bcoz I had not submitted my electives and they didn't tell me about it. I hitch-hiked a car to go to campus 2 days before induction..

The irony that his whole counter thought is actually what is absolutely simplistic 😢

[Dr Aloy Chife @ChifeDr]

We need to stop promoting these fatuous and simplistic “big bad West” narratives as a counterpoint to African development, which appeal to the visceral sentiment by repeating a “primordial fact of all history”- nations seek to dominate others for the benefit of their citizens.

1) The international market economy is NOT a branch of the International Red Cross
2) African nations are very much capable of directing their own resources and navigating the interminable course of their own destinies. To argue otherwise is to deny them of agency - 60 years after independence (where was China 40 years ago?)
3) You don’t hear that argument in Asia which shares a similar experience of colonialism.
4) Dangote and Kasapreko and Aba leather goods, etc are selling across Africa.

I said the narrative is simplistic. Let me tell you a story. I have spent the last 5 years and millions of my own money having invented a digital system for local currency Exchange (a retail component of the PAPSS currency exchange) that allows Africans (54 countries, 42 different currencies) to use their local currencies for cross-border trade (USD exchange depletes national reserves and attracts $5.3 billion in yearly costs).

The U.S. government through its Commercial Service and Embassies, has left no stone unturned to make this project successful.

And African Central Banks? Only very few have responded positively. Can you guess what it takes to secure a regulatory license in Africa? 3- 4 years of undiluted pain and a boatload of money. (The process takes about 3 months here in the U.S.)

Make of this fact what you will.

Argentina has won all the trophies largely due to DiMaria. When he’s injured or absent, they’ve lost. Germany-Chile-Chile wouldn’t happen if DiMaria played. Interesting how Scaloni would fill that void

This is bad news for Barcelona aswear. It took the best ever players in the world at Barcelona to stop this guy back then. Madrid can easily recreate that Madrid team. Mbappe can produce Ronaldo’s numbers but Barca can’t have another Messi or Pep

Interpersonal skills are so central to passing exams as a doctor and yet the way it’s examined might be unfairly disadvantaging some.

REDEMPTION

“In 2003, the street life caught up with my brother, landing him two consecutive prison sentences totaling 24 years. It should have been the end of his story, but after serving 21 years of that time, he stepped back into the world and hit the ground running. By the absolute grace of God, UPS took a chance on him when few others would. He didn't waste the opportunity; he disciplined himself, saved his checks, bought his own car, and even secured a second job to keep the momentum going. All that grinding paid off, and he just officially purchased his very own home! It's living proof that people really can change when they put faith and hard work together. God is good”-Gene Junior 26

When I see people talking down on what’s going on in Burkina Faso, I just know they don’t have their heads in the right place.
You’d see a so called African berating Gadaffi. Like howwww???? What part of this don’t you understand?

[Olowokandi @UnusualMCM]

Two four months old babies dying in the UK around the same time??? Hmmm…
E sha ma rora

[Ifeoluwa @olajumokeokenla]

One of my friend’s aunts and her husband moved to the UK in 2023. A few months later, she got pregnant and lost it 💔
A year later, she got pregnant again… and lost that one at 4 months.

They took a break. During that period, they were on post-study visas that were close to running out, so they were actively looking for a COS.

Then she got pregnant again… and this time, she had twins. It was a huge celebration. Everyone was so happy. I even visited them with my friend but sadly, the babies passed away at 4 months old 💔
She completely shut down after that, when we visited, I tried consoling her but words failed me. I was speechless.

That day, I went home so sad and had to speak to God like I was talking to Him face to face…
Like why?
He is unquestionable, yes but He saw their struggles, their pain, everything they had been through… yet He still allowed something like that to happen to them 😔

Long story short, they’re both back in Nigeria now with nothing.
The wife said she didn’t have the strength left in her to keep fighting as they couldn’t secure sponsorship to stay.

I truly hope life becomes kinder to them wherever they are.
