In Burkina Faso, the government has brought together more than 1,000 traditional herbalists as part of efforts to modernize the country’s traditional medicine sector.
The government believes many herbalists hold generations of knowledge about medicinal plants that deserves proper scientific research and testing.
Instead of letting that knowledge disappear, they want to study it, improve it, and see what can be produced safely on a larger scale.
Remember, long before modern hospitals, many African communities relied on traditional medicine for generations.
Fahrenheit is superior to Celsius and I’m tired of pretending this is a debate.
Fahrenheit feels like temperature was designed by an human being who walks outside, feels the air, and says, “Yeah, that makes sense.”
Zero is freezing. 100 is brutally hot.
70 is comfortable. 80 is warm.
The numbers feel like what they are describing.
Celsius feels like it was designed by a committee of people who hate joy and want every conversation about the weather to sound like a chemistry lab.
“It’s 22 degrees outside.”
What does that even mean to a normal person? Am I wearing shorts? Am I grabbing a jacket?
Nobody knows. You need a conversion chart and a government employee standing next to you explaining the vibes.
Fahrenheit gives you range. That’s the point. It gives you more numbers for the temperatures human beings actually live in. You can feel the difference between 68, 72, 76, and 80. Those numbers matter. Fahrenheit lets you describe the world with more precision without having to break into decimals like a lunatic.
And here’s the other thing...
Celsius is connected to the metric cult energy that came out of the French Revolution. And the French Revolution was evil. Both of the Revolution were to rip out tradition, faith, monarchy, hierarchy, the Church, the calendar, the clock, and anything that reminded man he was not God.
CELSIUS IS INHERENTLY EVIL
So yes, Celsius may be useful if you’re boiling water in a lab. Congratulations. But Fahrenheit is for living LIFE because Fahrenheit is for walking outside and instantly knowing what kind of day you’re about to have.
100 means hot. 70 means beautiful. Zero means don’t go outside unless you have a death wish.
That’s a real system.
@ShehuSani Nigerians did not orchestrate this ethic divide, the imperialist did and are still doing today. Widespread of sponsored social Media ethnic bots is among their tools
@ShehuSani Same model that was used by German colonial masters in Rwanda to bring enemity among the Hutus, Tutsis, and Twa clans is the same model still at play in Nigeria. Until Nigeria takes strong measures like Rwanda did, It won't get better soon.
When a Western country loses manufacturing jobs to cheaper labor overseas, it is called a crisis. A betrayal. A national emergency deserving political response, trade protection, economic intervention.
When a Global South country loses economic sovereignty to Western financial institutions, it is called structural adjustment. Reform. The necessary medicine of the market. The responsible path toward development.
Same process. Different direction.
When it hurts them: injustice.
When it hurts you: efficiency.
The moral framework didn't produce the economic system.
The economic system produced the moral framework.
Since YCee has awakened Nigerians to the “Olodo uprising” debate, here’s a report on how the big tech giants weaponize their algorithms to dumb down the Nigerian/African population.
It’s my favorite report for the @Spearhead_Af from last year, but evergreen. Make sure you follow the @Spearhead_Af for more of this every single day.
Namibia has generated $25 million in just 11 months from its new visa-on-arrival system.
Namibia removed visa-free access for citizens of 33 countries, including the United States, Canada, France, the United Kingdom, and Germany, because those countries did not offer the same privilege to Namibians.
Now the policy is bringing in millions while sparking debates about fairness and reciprocity in international travel.
Lorsque la Russie a organisé la coupe du monde en 2018, le président Vladimir Poutine a pris des décisions historiques :
-✅Entrée gratuite sans visa pour tous les supporters
✅ Tous les supporters qui ont réuni les documents nécessaires, ont participé à l'événement sans aucun rejet
✅ trains gratuits pour se déplacer entre les 11 villes hôtes
-✅Transports locaux gratuits (bus, métro, navettes)
-✅pas de tarification dynamique pour les billets
✅contrôles administratifs simplifiés
-✅aucune interdiction de séjour discriminatoire
- ✅pas de fouille humiliante à l’arrivée des joueurs comme si c’était des criminels
La FIFA a suspendu la Russie de toute compétition internationale après le début du conflit en Ukraine pourtant les États-Unis vont participer au mondial malgré l'agression contre le Venezuela et l'Iran.
Après, ils vont venir nous parler de démocratie et d'égalité. L'occident fait tout pour convaincre l'humanité que Poutine est méchant.
I just received my brother, colleague, and partner in the New Nigerian Project, His Excellency Mr. Peter Gregory Obi, CON, our presidential candidate, who, together with some distinguished leaders of our party, held a closed-door meeting which lasted about three hours.
In the course of that meeting, we reviewed the activities of our party and discussed a few recent issues that have been a source of concern to all sides, and we amicably resolved all the issues
We have always been on the same page on the bigger picture, i.e., winning the elections for all candidates of our party and rescuing Nigeria from the misgovernance of the APC-led government. However, a few issues have arisen, and we have agreed on how to handle them moving forward.
I want to use this opportunity again to call on all members of our party to stop the bickering and name-calling and focus on the bigger picture. Both His Excellency Peter Obi and I, as well as other leaders and stakeholders of our party, will continue to consult and engage with one another to address and resolve concerns, strengthen the unity and cohesion of our party, and ensure that we remain focused on our shared mission of rescuing Nigeria and building a better future for all.
Happy Democracy Day.

HOW MUCH is a $ TRILLION?
A trillion is a 1 with 12 zeros after it.
$1,000,000,000,000
If you were to spend $1 a minute it would take you 34,000 years to spend.
It takes the Fed and US Treasury less than a minute to print $1 trillion.
Get the picture?
Savers of dollars are losers.
Cash is trash.
Trade cash in for some gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum and be a winner.
🔥🔥 JUST IN:
Candace Owens is encouraging people to visit Russia, saying everything Americans have been told about the country is “a lie.”
She says the streets are cleaner, the food is better, and after visiting, she came away believing it’s OUR society that’s in decline — not theirs. 👀
The moment Nigeria gets balkanized, that's when you'll realize that inside that your Yoruba Ronu, another Ronu dey inside.
Ijebu will start clamoring for regional autonomy in this new Oduduwa republic. Ekiti, Ijesha, Egba etc will all have competing interests.
You know why?
Because before the colonizers came, these people were not fucking...
dancing around in a circle holding hands and weeping with joy about how united in Oduduwa they were.
No.
They were literally putting bullets in each other's bodies and forcing each other into slavery in a multi century back and forth struggle.
There was no "Yoruba" in the homogenous nation state sense of the word.
And what about the middle belt? In Benue state for example, there are dozens (yes, DOZENS) of tribes who don't like each other and will not hesitate to pick up a knives or rifles to settle old scores.
The Fulani and Berom need no introduction.
Even in the core north, many young Hausa are increasingly discontent about the absolute political dominance of the Fulani despite outnumbering them.
Islam can only go so far to quell a people with so much latent resentment.
What about Igbo land?
Some Abia parents won't let their kids marry from the next village.
Anambra people turn up their noses at Ebonyi people and consider them lesser Igbos.
Okay nau.
By the time the "Ebonyi Liberation Movement" picks up EU-supplied rifles now to fight the "tyrants in Awka" everybody mind go dey.
When the "Imo Freedom Army" (IMA) suddenly pop out of nowhere and demand full control of the humongous reserves of natural gas deposits (up to 50 trillion cubic feet of natural gas)...
And this same IMA starts bombing government buildings in Enugu and Anambra to get their point across....
Everybody go understand.
What about the South South where I'm from?
The rest of the Edo people most likely will not recognize the "divine" authority of the far away Oba of Benin and could pick up arms to settle their differences.
The Ijaw, Urhobo, Itsekiri and dozens upon dozens of smaller tribes will 100% pick up every weapon they can find to secure the oil for themselves.
So Mr/Mrs. Secessionist, I want you to understand that the problems of neocolonialism, bad governance and bigotry you're running away from in Nigeria will not magically disappear the moment you get Biafra 2.0, Oduduwa Republic, Fulanistan or any other ethno state.
You will simply plunge this patch of West Africa into a multi pronged civil war that will last many many decades.
Sudan, Libya and Somalia will look like a paradise.
There will be total collapse of supply chains, bandits and terrorists would carve out their own territories and the colonizers will be arming every slack witted tribal chest thumping young man with a rusted AK47 to kill his fellow miserable black man so Mr. Colonizer can keep extracting Lithium, Oil and gold for dirt cheap.
You will waste generations and millions of people will starve to death .
This is one of the reasons I am so so militant about this.
The colonizers forced us together. That is true.
But it's up to us if we want to keep flinging sand and knives at each other, or if we want to work together toward prosperity for our future and our children.
A Nigeria that works for everybody is the way. Toss your stupid Biafra, Oduduwa Republic, Fulanistan ideas into the trash and light it on fire.
Vietnam at the end of the American War.
Infrastructure destroyed.
Economy shattered.
Unexploded ordnance across vast swaths of agricultural land.
Hundreds of thousands of political prisoners from the defeated south to manage.
A refugee crisis. A food crisis. A currency crisis.
International isolation.
American embargo.
Soviet support collapsing as the USSR declined.
By every measure, a country that should not have been able to develop.
That is now one of the most cited development successes of the last fifty years.
The variable that distinguished Vietnam from countries that did not recover is not geography, not culture, not natural resources, not colonial history in terms of severity.
It is the quality and continuity of political leadership that was allowed to exist because it could not be removed by force.
Give Africa its Lumumbas.
Give Africa its Ho Chi Minhs.
Stop killing them.
Then ask about development.
