@ndloomo1980 @kandahaKajappy @hagegeingob Absolutely. Couldn't agree more with you.

Totalitarianism In Tribal Europe Worries Mali Govt:
Africa is emerging frm this"darkness"while UK and Europe are returning to it:
"The Malians decided2shut down RFI&France 24. The Europeans set a bad example by banning Russian media. African analysts warned about the boomerang."

@RUOligarchJets Can we have the list of all global oligarchs please. We want to clean house everywhere not selectively.

2) "You cannot have unquestioning acceptance of the wealthy AND democracy. You can't treat everyone the same before the law AND give rich people anything they want, because rich people want to have immunity from the law. Do you want democracy, or do you want to be a Butler?"

@DanielBertossa @Naomi_Fowler It is called speculation and commercialization of sentiments about global events. We no longer have markets, financialisation has made sure of that. What does the UK produce but speculation? Ordinary people are paying for it.

@3chibuike @cchukudebelu Try Republic World in India, their debates.

@gbolio4 @cchukudebelu Aljazeera & unbiased in the same sentence?
I watch both CNN & Aljazeera, they're both biased. Even the BBC. Each with its own agenda.

@KhandaniM Totally agree we should stay vigilant and try and understand how we mitigate it on our side with ways that work for us instead of waiting for countries in other regions to tell us what to do and benefit from it.

[Nepeti Nicanor @nepetin]

@KhandaniM Have you noticed that no one this side of the planet wants to talk about Covid anymore? 😊

[Khandani Msibi @KhandaniM]

Now u are talking, how about dealing with Regulators that are breaking down small firms to advantage big firms. The ⁦@CompComSA⁩ need to evaluate the conduct of ⁦@FSCA_ZA⁩ , ⁦@ICASA_org⁩ , ⁦@SAReserveBank⁩, Prudential Authority, etc https://t.co/tpABgKGUxW

Let's be clear what happened here:
1) Everyone with half a clue about offsets said this was a bad idea right from the start.
2) Lots of very smart people then had to sink a lot of time into trying to push back or at least make it less bad.

@BillHareClimate @kmac Could not agree more. Its all about making money. Same goes for ESG. These firms and banks know nothing about what is at stake but use their brands to exploit the situation by claiming it will have an impact.

[Nepeti Nicanor @nepetin]

@Shaanika6A Yes, but not full force like before my dear!😊 Hope you are good. Thanks for noticing and welcoming me back🙏🏿👏🏿🙌🏿

[Nepeti Nicanor @nepetin]

@HenningMelber @TC_Africa The same goes for most African leaders. They do not have what it takes to lead, but perpetual followers. How can they lead our majority, the youth meaningfully? Look at AfCFTA? Another pronouncement without by-in of citizens while people languish...

[Nepeti Nicanor @nepetin]

@HenningMelber When young Namibians put their party before the nation and refuse to share their ideas respectfully or think logically, independently without fear it just shows we have a long way to go.
