Prince Kassim Nakibinge: "It's sad we have lost our dear one, Moses Matovu. Some say death is among the laws, but it's not, because if it was, we would have broken it. Death is natural. No one can ever get used to death. We all believe police are always saying they are investigating, but I hope this time they will walk the talk. These days people move under pressure because of youth who use pavers. Those are the people who are supposed to be under the basement." 🎥Abubaker Lubowa #MonitorUpdates
Fela was way ahead of his time. He was a seasoned artist who understood that music is political and used it to speak the truth of Pan-Africanism. Today's retards of artists who only care about lining their pockets with dollars could never lace his shoes.
Over the years, the UN General Assembly has delivered no shortage of unforgettable moments, from dramatic gestures and controversial remarks to fiery speeches and walkouts.
Here’s a look back at some of the most memorable highlights.
'Alarm’ was originally a call to arms.
The Italian phrase ‘all’arme!’ means literally “to arms” or “to your weapons.”
We'd still probably hit 'snooze.'
The mass psychosis of colonialists at the time was such that even a central african kingdom like Buganda was thought to have been founded by ancient white people
Where there were no paintings of those mythical founders, they simply invented them

Chinese contractors are flexible and meet their African clients at their level.
Want world class infrastructure and disciplined execution? You’ll get it. Want to play usual games of stealing huge chunks of project finances and delivering shoddy work? You’ll get it.
There are 196 tribes on Earth that still refuse all contact with outsiders. Brazil has 115 of them, more than any country, and its government flies planes over their villages on purpose.
The flyovers exist because of a brutal catch in how Brazil protects land. Forest only gets shielded as Indigenous territory if FUNAI, the Indigenous affairs agency, can prove isolated people actually live there. No proof, and loggers and miners move in. So agents photograph longhouses and gardens from the air, confirm the tribe exists, and never land.
The word "uncontacted" hides the real history. Most of these groups descend from people who met the outside world during the rubber boom a century ago, when enslavement and disease killed roughly 90% of western Amazonia's Indigenous population. Their ancestors ran deeper into the forest and never came back out.
The ones who did come out show why.
The Nahua in Peru were contacted in 1984 after oil exploration opened their land. Half of them were dead within a few years, mostly from colds and flu. The Matis in Brazil were contacted in 1978. Five years later, 87 of them were left. The Panará lost 80% of their people in the eight years after a highway was bulldozed through their forest.
A respiratory bug that costs you three days on the couch can erase half a village with no immunity to it.
So Brazil settled on the strangest conservation policy on Earth. Prove they exist. Guard the borders. Never say hello.
Like clockwork!
The most consistent freestyle platform in the country and I dare to say, in the continent. In fact, I challenge you to find another platform that is as consistent with freestyle rap, anywhere else in the world.

This lady, an American living in Kenya was wondering why our kitchens have doors…
She was told we've evolved - the kitchen used to be a separate building a few metres away from the main house 😂
