We can confirm Michael Carrick has departed his role as men’s first-team head coach.

You’ve been right all along David and I think we need to have a serious conversation about the political awareness of African creatives and how easily we confuse international recognition with genuine appreciation of our work.

Take the U.S. State Department’s International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), for example. The Americans make no secret of the fact that this programme serves their foreign policy interests. They identify influential people across the world and deliberately “build relationships “with them😳

Now, why would a powerful government invest in the influence of African artists? What does it understand about the power of our voices that we ourselves might not fully appreciate??
And more importantly, do we understand that we can become useful to political interests without ever being explicitly asked to support them?

I have no problem with African creatives accessing international opportunities, but I think we should be able to distinguish between being celebrated for our talent and being cultivated for our influence. Those are two very different things, and sometimes they happen at the same time🚶🏿‍♀️🚶🏿‍♀️Anways, tutaitwa haters🚶🏿‍♀️

According to the sources on ground, the military men went to Sweet Tendo’s banana stall. Sweet Tendo is Abubaker’s friend. They asked her to call Abubaker. When she refused, they beat her up and she was forced to call him. As soon as he reached, they manhandled him into one of the two drones and drove off. Upto now, his whereabouts remain unknown.

The standard story of African poverty focuses almost entirely on post-independence failures while treating centuries of extraction as background noise. The scale of the slave trade’s removal of people and productive capacity, the deliberate reorientation of colonial economies toward raw-material exports with barriers to local industry, and the debt/IMF architecture that followed independence are documented historical facts, not footnotes. Those processes shaped incentives, state capacity, and capital stock in ways that still show up in outcomes. Calling the result “underdevelopment” or pure internal dysfunction erases how the system was structured.

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

The poverty of Africa is one of the most successful lies ever told.

Not because Africa has no poverty. It does. The poverty is real and it kills real people every day.

But the story of why, that is the lie.

The story says: underdevelopment. Corruption. Tribalism. Poor institutions. A continent that simply never found its footing.

The story does not say: 400 years of slave trade that forcibly removed somewhere between 12 and 20 million people, the young, the strong, the able, from the continent’s productive capacity.

The story does not say: colonialism that reorganized entire economies to produce raw materials for European industry and banned the development of local manufacturing.

The story does not say: the debt architecture of the post-independence era, which ensured that countries that escaped political colonialism immediately entered financial colonialism, with IMF conditions attached that dismantled the public institutions the colonizers had refused to build in the first place.

Africa is not underdeveloped.

Africa is precisely as developed as centuries of deliberate extraction were designed to leave it.

That is not misfortune.

That is a policy outcome.

But why 😭

[principal D @yubdenis1]

As for @wekesa_amos , he wants his international tourists (safe to say his customers) irrespective of what the local citizens are going through 😹😹
You the locals can die all you want, but don't spoil his business (tourism) because to him the citizens crying out is demarketing his tourism 😹😹

The person you tagged knows how X can be impactful and what he has been able to add to his brand.

It’s only people like you, who were privileged to get startups from family, who are capable of publicly calling someone hopeless. It’s not the first time you’re using that language.

[Segawa @markuswalker18]

You’re a clear evidence that school wasn’t about education bse you went to school and only learnt a language and writing it but never acquired any knowledge

[Dr. Daniel Masaba @MasabaDaniel]

I'm seeing people roast @wekesa_amos here. Proper hypocrites.
You might wonder why I rarely post on X these days....it's because its users are the most hopeless amongst all social media platforms.
They lay in their beds and type, and could never slap a fly.
Hypocrites!

[Mordecai Muriisa ™️ @MordecaiMuriisa]

It’s funny to watch this selective outrage.

I made a comment about Wekesa, pointing out how seemingly obsessed he is with the money he makes from the tourism industry that he is willing to overlook almost everything ugly happening in Uganda, including human rights abuses. Yet the moment something threatens tourism, he suddenly finds his voice and begins expressing concern.

When I made that observation, his defenders immediately jumped to his rescue. They told me to leave him alone, accused me of wanting him to join my cause, or suggested that I expected him to think like me.

That's really laughable.

First, wanting to see an end to the abduction, torture and killing of innocent people is not some political cause. It is basic morality. It is basic human decency. It is common sense.

Second, I don't need Wekesa to think like me. I am perfectly capable of expressing an opinion about someone's public conduct without demanding that they adopt my worldview.

Do you realise that all I did was comment on his reaction to the United States placing Uganda under a Level 4: Do Not Travel advisory? Rather than direct his anger and frustration towards the people responsible for creating the insecurity that prompted the advisory, he seemed more interested in finding everyone else to blame.

His reaction caught my attention because he appeared genuinely heartbroken about the potential financial losses to his safari business. Yet the abductions, torture and brutal killings of innocent Ugandans had never seemed to attract the same level of urgency from him.

That is the contradiction I was highlighting.

Others asked, "Mordecai, should everyone be concerned about human rights abuses? Did you even care about human rights when you were appearing on television in Uganda?"

First, yes, I believe everyone should care. Human rights are not the exclusive responsibility of activists, politicians or people who have chosen to make a career out of speaking about them.

Second, I cared enough to eventually abandon my professional career and dedicate myself to exposing what I believe is a criminal regime. That is a personal decision, and I would never suggest that everyone must make the same sacrifice.

But even if I had been someone who never cared before, I would still be grateful that my eyes had finally opened. There is absolutely no shame in discovering that you were previously indifferent to something that deserved your attention.

However, this conversation is not really about me, Wekesa or his defenders.

It is about a much bigger and more fundamental question:

How long shall we continue living in a country where people are abducted, tortured, killed and disappeared, and somehow convince ourselves that this is normal?

How long shall we continue rationalising brutality simply because it happens in other countries too?

Since when did the existence of suffering elsewhere become an excuse for tolerating suffering in our own country?

And why have we reached a point where the economic consequences of human rights abuses provoke more outrage than the actual violation of human lives?

A country should not have to become bad for business before its citizens become concerned about the suffering of its people.

Human life must matter even when there is no financial loss attached to its destruction. And yes I know about all those good things Wekesa has done as pointed out by you folks. It’s too much to ask him to add more to his resume? 😅

Stop idolizing politicians. They’re our employees, and when they don’t do their jobs, we need to fucking fire them.

I do not know this white man, and there is about 500 years of history showing that his alleged "love" is fake news.

I only know Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah, the black man who survived at least 6 assassination attempts because he believed in my freedom and self-determination.

That is the ancestor and Messiah that I recognise.

We don't worship white men here.
