Individual responsibility is important but it's part of a whole. The system dictates the environment the individual lives in. The incentives for good behaviour , the punishments for bad have to be clear and actually work in practice. The custodians of the system shirking their responsibility and throwing it to individuals leads to a rapid deterioration of everything. All that money that is spent on piblic employees politicians included is for them to provide service not be an overclass.
Hapa Kenya impunity which is the lack of consequences for wrongdoing keeps up going deeper and deeper into muck and every manifestation of it has to be dealt with for a nation that works to emerge.
I built this company. I've watched its value fall 62% in four years. Today its minority shareholders vote to hold the board to account, a vote we cannot win but will not stay silent on. Here's why. #WPPScangroup, @WPP
Congratulations, @AlexZverev on winning @rolandgarros! 🏆 So well deserved after all the hard work and perseverance. You’ve been chasing your first Grand Slam for a long time, and you absolutely deserve it!
And congratulations to Flavio as well for a fantastic tournament! 👏🏻
A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.
She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.
Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.
Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.
Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.
She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.
By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.
Nigeria’s Dangote Refinery was the world’s largest single exporter of jet fuel (aviation fuel) in April 2026. Remind me, who said everything is impossible until it is done?
"The moment a legitimate structural grievance is processed through ethnic accusation, the grievance becomes easier to dismiss, and the real culprits ... all disappear entirely from the frame. And the ordinary citizen of the community being blamed is suddenly conscripted as a defendant in a crime they did not design."
When I first arrived in Silicon Valley, I watched two guys go to lunch, sketch an idea on a napkin, walk into a VC's office that afternoon, and have funding by the end of the week.
Back home in Senegal, that same idea would've taken two years of permits, bribes, and government approvals before it could legally exist.
By then, the moment would be dead and the founder would be broke.
That gap between what's possible in a free system and what's impossible in an unfree one is the reason I do what I do.

The people of Ethiopia are an extraordinary and remarkable people. Other than the Creator, who can truly know and assess our people in their entirety? Through this year’s election, Ethiopians have once again shown the world that they are a people with a rich culture, deep patriotism, and the ability to safeguard the common good.
On this historic day:
* Citizens who were not intimidated by the cold and darkness of the night,
* Who were not deterred by the midday sun or sudden rain,
* Whom weddings, funerals, childbirth, and other social obligations did not prevent from participating,
* Who were not wearied by long lines,
* Whose physical disabilities did not stop them from casting their vote,
* Those whose illness and old age did not prevent from witnessing the hope of their country,
* Who were not exhausted by carrying their infant children; the future inheritors of the nation,
* And above all, whom the shouting and threats of enemies could not intimidate or stop;
The perseverance you demonstrated amid many challenges and hardships, against all odds, was a contribution made for democracy and for the very survival of the nation. For this, you deserve heartfelt gratitude.
It is a privilege to serve such a people. Therefore, may those who have been elected honor the trust placed in them and serve this people, with integrity and sincerity! A people who have paid a great price for the democratic system. May you be worthy of that responsibility.
We have lost once. We have lost twice. We may even lose a third time. But as long as this club exists, we will never give up. That's the spirit of The Arsenal. IT'S NOT DONE! 🔴⚪
