[Ɔsagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah Quotes @NkrumahQuotes]

It is clear that we must find an African solution to our problems, and that this can only be found in African unity. Divided we are weak; united, Africa could become one of the greatest forces for good in the world

[Adémọ́lá. @OgbeniDemola]

At the time the Atlantic slave trade was going on, there were over five hundred slave rebellions. Africans were resisting slavery everywhere and killing their enslavers. Many Africans don’t know this story because we have been programmed to believe the worst about ourselves.

[Adémọ́lá. @OgbeniDemola]

An African cannot be a stranger anywhere in Africa.

[James @MrJamesKe]

Honestly, I’m beginning to understand how colonialism succeeded in Africa. It wasn’t simply a matter of the colonizers being powerful, our lack of unity also played a major role. While some Africans were resisting colonial rule, others were cooperating with the colonizers and helping them weaken the resistance. Some freedom fighters were betrayed, captured by fellow Africans and handed over to colonial authorities to be killed. Division among Africans has always made it easier for others to control us and even today, we keep falling into the same trap.

First time I knew Kinaata would be a great actor was when I saw him in the prelude to the “Party” song with Quamina MP and Kwesi Arthur. See talent 😂

@RashSalim21 You’re right that it’s a systemic problem.

[KOA @KwabenaOA]

This hasn’t worked out in the past. If anything, it’s workers at lower levels who deserve to be paid better. From what I see, a lot of the general corruption stems from need and not NECESSARILY greed.

“We need to pay MPs well to tackle corruption and bribery allegations” — @SuhuyiniHamza

NDC Communications Team Member Hamza Suhuyini says Parliament must confront what he describes as the inadequate remuneration of MPs if it wants to effectively address recurring bribery allegations.

@XVids_Daily So your experience isn’t the same as that of another medical doctor who also saw things first hand and was concerned enough to warn me.

Real people have suffered from this and you’re saying it’s backward thinking. smh

[KOA @KwabenaOA]

I remember one time when I excitedly shared news of foreign doctors providing free medical care in Ghana. A doctor friend of mine then told me how such folks harvest data from the ‘beneficiaries’ and used them as guinea pigs for research purposes. Plenty horror stories.

[Nnamdi Obi @nnamdiobiii]

I will elaborate

Every time something arrives in Africa either free or priced way below what it costs elsewhere, ask what’s being extracted in place of money. It’s rarely charity, it’s a different currency.

Facebook’s Free Basics is the cleanest tech example. Launched as “free internet” across more than 30 African countries, it was actually a curated slice of the web with Facebook at the center.

India banned it in 2016 over net neutrality concerns. Researchers in Ghana found the app harvested browsing behavior and phone numbers while offering little locally relevant content (https://t.co/RJpPZuaxmO).

You weren’t getting internet access, you were becoming a data source for a company that sells attention to advertisers.

Healthcare has its own version, and it’s often worse because the stakes are life and death.

In 1996, Pfizer ran a trial of an unapproved antibiotic, Trovan, on children during a meningitis outbreak in Kano, Nigeria, instead of the proven treatment being used next door by Doctors Without Borders.

Eleven children died, others were left blind, paralyzed, or deaf. Pfizer denied wrongdoing but settled with Kano State for 75 million dollars in 2009 (https://t.co/Uk8PK3iaLB).

It’s a textbook case of a population treated as a testing ground because informed consent and price were both cheaper there.

More broadly, the WHO has found that a large share of the world’s reported substandard and falsified medicines end up in Africa, roughly 42 percent of reported cases, driving anti-microbial resistance and an estimated 116,000 extra malaria deaths a year in sub-Saharan Africa alone from fake or weak antimalarials (https://t.co/Wo3pb4IiJX).

The “cheap medicine” isn’t cheap, it’s just failing quietly, in bodies that have less recourse.

Same pattern with the “affordable” smartphones flooding African markets. Brands undercutting global prices by huge margins have been found shipping devices with preinstalled adware and malware baked in before the box is even opened, generating ad revenue from users who never agreed to it and can’t remove it.

Same pattern with pay-as-you-go solar kits like M-KOPA. The hardware looks affordable upfront, but it’s locked with firmware that disables the unit if you miss a payment. You don’t own the panel, you’re renting it indefinitely, and the company holds the kill switch.

Same pattern with digital lending apps like OKash, Branch, and Tala, which offer instant loans with almost no paperwork. The catch is in the permissions, contacts, SMS, sometimes location, harvested and in documented cases used to pressure or shame borrowers into repayment.

Same pattern with secondhand clothing exports. What looks like a cheap deal is often unsellable Western overstock, offloaded in volumes now overwhelming landfills and waterways in places like Ghana’s Kantamanto market.

None of this means every affordable product is a trap. It means the question is always worth asking, if the price doesn’t match the cost of making the thing, something else is covering the gap. Sometimes it’s your data, sometimes it’s your health, sometimes it’s your autonomy. Find out which one before you assume you got a good deal.

Thank you @DavidHundeyin

Africans next great natural resource is not their gold or diamond.

It is inside their bodies; it is their DNA; their biological samples; It is their health data and it is now heavily exploited in the guise of aid and sponsorships.

Sadly many are oblivious of this fact.

[Scion (PanAfroCore) @ScionofCulture]

The replies to this tweet are funny, but not in a "haha" kind of funny but in a "a lot of Africans are really fucking stupid" kind of funny.

Can any of these nay-sayers to this tweet explain to the audience why it's impossible for African youths to learn about Lumumba, Sankara, Nkrumah and Biko in HISTORY class, while simultaneously learning mathematics, physics, astronomy, robotics, economics, finance etc. during their academic years?

I am serious, because this shit is really starting to get depressing by how low racial self-esteem and low intelligence some Africans are these days...

[Shanice 😈 🇯🇲 🇵🇸 @Shanice_OM]

Teach this: right after Britain banned the transatlantic slave trade it abused nearly 90 years of Indian & Chinese 'coolie' labour to make up for losses of freed slaves. Coolies had similar working conditions to slaves and most were unable to leave after their 'contracts' ended.
