The goalkeeper you see prostrating in front of you is genuinely living the best days of his life.

This is Benjamin Asare, Ghana’s 33-year-old goalkeeper, who made three saves today and kept a clean sheet against England before celebrating after the game with this prostration.

What makes his story special is that almost nobody knew who he was. For most of his career, he played in Ghana’s second division. On top of that, his financial situation was so difficult that he had to work on cocoa farms for three straight years just to support his family and keep his football dream alive.

The remarkable part is that Asare kept pushing until he earned a move to Ghanaian top-flight side Accra Hearts of Oak in 2025. He then received his first-ever call-up to the Ghana national team during the World Cup qualifiers, where he played six games and conceded just one goal.

Asare went on to become the first Ghanaian player in history to represent his country at a World Cup while playing in the domestic league. He also made six saves across games against Panama and England and didn’t concede a single goal.

Glory to those who never stop working for their dreams. To every Ghanaian reading this: congratulations. You should be proud. Stories like Benjamin Asare’s are what make football beautiful, and seeing one of your own rise from cocoa farms to the World Cup stage is something worth celebrating. 🇬🇭❤️

The Haya people of Tanzania were producing carbon steel in the year 100 AD, nearly 1,900 years before the process was independently developed in Europe. Their furnaces reached 1,800 degrees Celsius using preheated forced-draft technology that European metallurgists did not achieve until the Industrial Revolution. When anthropologists arrived to study it in the 1970s, the knowledge only survived because a few elderly men still remembered it. Cheap European steel had already put the Haya out of business decades earlier.

Africa did not need to be taught how to build. It needed to be left alone.

Barack and I were so honored to have @AkunyiliCrosby create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center. Her artistic brilliance shines through — and the way she infused such life and joy into the piece is truly extraordinary. We love it, and we think everyone who visits the Center will too!

We were given a planet that grows its own food, overflowing with trees, fruit, water, medicine, and sunlight, where life itself is abundant and generous. Yet we built systems of debt, competition, division, and war instead of learning to live in balance with it.

Affordable housing cannot become a cover for land grabbing.

The Auditor General has flagged projects built on public and community land without proper ownership records, legal processes, or public participation. Kenyans deserve answers.

I have formally demanded a Senate inquiry. Public land is not for plunder. Accountability must come before construction. #StopLandGrabbing #ReKe

Someone has created a website called ‘Kenya Corruption Archives’ where it keep records of all looted money in Kenya, the amount, key suspects and the refund.

For the last 14 years I have been running a Nyambura Scholarship (in memory of my late mother) for high school students from Limuru. For this year's cohort, one of them has been admitted to the University and is in urgent need of a laptop and a phone. Anyone in Kenya or going to Kenya with either to spare? It will go a long way.

Along the same lines more generally, if traveling to Kenya or in Kenya and can help, let me know as there is serious need for tech. In a small way we can level the playing field for the Nyambura scholarship kids.

Kenyan President Ruto's signature policy is an affordable housing program. The problem: It's leaving thousands of people homeless. https://t.co/ZS2jVs7e9b

Ruto stood before the people of North Eastern Kenya, shed tears and spoke about how previous governments had neglected and marginalized them. He was emotional. The crowd clapped.

But this is the same Ruto who has been in parliament since 1997. Nearly thirty years. He is not a man who just arrived from outside and discovered a problem. He was inside every government that he is now crying about.

He was Minister of Agriculture. Minister of Higher Education. Deputy President for ten years. A period during which he famously boasted about running government while his president was indisposed. If he was running government, what was he doing about Northern Kenya then?

He has been president since 2022. Four years. If the marginalization of Northern Kenya moved him to tears today, why did it not move him to action in 2022 when he had the highest office in the land and every resource of the state at his disposal?

The tears are real. The emotion is performed. A man who was part of the very governments he is condemning cannot stand before the people those governments failed and present himself as their savior. That is not accountability. That is recycling the same pain for fresh votes.

Previous governments neglected Northern Kenya. That is true and it is painful. But Ruto was not watching from the outside. He was inside those governments eating with those who made the decisions. He benefited from the same system that left those communities behind.

Crying about it now, four years into his own presidency and one year from an election, is not remorse.

It is campaign season. Fungukeni macho!

If Uhuru signed the deal, let Ruto cancel it and hold Mr. Kenyatta to account
