I just listened to Michelle Obama's speech about her husband and I shed tears.

It's pertinent to be an emotionally intelligent soul, husband, father and leader.

We must raise ourselves with dignity and character.

Concluded my first mission to @UN Headquarters in New York after a productive week marked by engagement with structures of the UN, including a meeting with the President of the General Assembly, an address at the High-Level debate on crimes against the environment in the General Assembly, meetings with Member States, discussions with colleagues across the secretariat and two sessions with the @UNODC Team in New York.  
The highlight of the week was my oath taking ceremony and discussion with the Secretary General on Thursday 11 June 2026.
The messages from New York are clear:
a. A strong affirmation of the relevance and value preposition of the UNODC, including its vital role and competence to address the complex convergence of today’s most challenging threats to peace, security and prosperity, inter-alia transnational organised crimes, corruption, terrorism and threats to the rule of law.
b. Support to UNODC is matched by strong expectation and demand from the member states to scale our impactful work on the ground.
c. Evident willingness to support the work of UNODC from Member states, colleagues across the Secretariat and other partners and stakeholders engaged in various aspects of the UNODC mandate.
d. The imperative and urgency to develop a business model that supports, in a sustainable manner, the practical work of UNODC.
I am grateful for the availability of all, their candid opinions,constructive proposals and guidance to me and my team. Undoubtedly, UNODC is uniquely positioned to serve as a force multiplier across the UN system - connecting security, rule of law, and justice in efforts orchestrated to deliver a safer, secure and dignified development for all.

[Pan-African Payment And Settlement System - PAPSS @papss_africa]

🌍 At the G20 side event on Africa’s payment systems,
H.E. Wamkele Mene, Secretary-General of the AfCFTA, delivered a powerful message:
"Efficient and affordable payments are the backbone of Africa’s integration agenda."

He emphasized the strategic importance of PAPSS as a home-grown solution that:
✅ Lowers the cost of trade
✅ Expands access for SMEs
✅ Advances Africa’s ambition for monetary cooperation first envisioned in 1963

With the AfCFTA Protocol on Digital Trade now adopted, Africa has a clear mandate to build a continental payments infrastructure that is: Inclusive, Interoperable, Technology-neutral, Open to all capable players.

In addition, Lebogang Mokgabudi, PAPSS Board Member, reinforced this vision by presenting the critical role of PAPSS in driving economic growth and financial inclusion across the continent, while highlighting South Africa’s leadership in championing initiatives like PAPSS.

And Obi Ejimofo delivered a comprehensive presentation on PAPSS, covering its vision, mission, and ecosystem, and showcasing the benefits for individuals, banks, corporates, and SMEs.

The message is clear: African innovation must power Africa’s economic future.

Be careful who influences you. Life has taught me that not every loud voice carries wisdom. Some people speak with so much confidence that you almost believe them… until you look closely and realize there’s no depth behind the volume.

I’ve learned to pause and ask myself: “Why am I listening to this person? What have they actually built, survived or stood for?” That’s where the clarity comes.

Wisdom is knowing when a loud voice isn’t a competent one. It’s choosing to protect your mind from opinions that sound powerful but produce nothing. It’s also about resisting the pressure to follow noise simply because the world is clapping for it.

I’ve now started valuing:
👏🏾 People who speak from experience
👏🏾 People who have lived through storms, not just narrated them
👏🏾 People whose character matches their confidence
👏🏾 People who aren’t afraid to say, “I don’t know,” when they truly don’t

Life becomes lighter when you stop letting every voice into your space.
👉🏾 Some will confuse you.
👉🏾 Some will drain you.
👉🏾 Some will mislead you without even knowing it.

Choose your influences the way you choose your close friends. You choose them intentionally, quietly and with self-respect. Your peace depends on it.
