I absolutely love this.
Have one in college and one just graduated HS.. but I have 4 still in the house and we’re definitely implementing!!!
Wished I have done this sooner
When I was Muslim, I used to ask Christians:
“If Jesus was really God, why did He eat, sleep, and bleed like us?”
And honestly, I used to ask it with pride like it was some unbeatable argument.
But later I realized something:
That question was not exposing Christianity.
It was exposing my misunderstanding of what kind of God Jesus claimed to be.
Because the real question is not:
“Why would God become weak?”
The real question is:
“What kind of God would willingly step into human suffering at all?”
Islam taught me about a God who was distant and untouchable.
But Christianity introduced me to a God who stepped into hunger, exhaustion, grief, pain, betrayal, blood, and suffering with us.
And suddenly His humanity stopped feeling like weakness to me.
It became proof of love.
If Jesus ate, it means He came close enough to experience hunger beside us.
If He slept, it means He embraced the exhaustion we carry.
If He bled, it means He did not stand above suffering watching us from a distance.
He entered it Himself.
Philippians 2 says Christ emptied Himself and took on flesh.
Not because He stopped being God, but because He wanted humanity to finally see what God is actually like.
And it turns out God is willing to suffer for the people He loves.
That changed everything for me.
Because every other religion demanded sacrifice from humanity.
Jesus became the sacrifice Himself.
And no prophet in history ever claimed that.
🎯 When Karim Ezzeddine speaks about cooperation between African economies, he speaks from inside the machinery that makes or breaks it. As Vice President of SKYKAPITAL, the Paris-headquartered strategic and financial advisory platform bridging Europe, the Middle East, and Africa from offices in Lagos, London, and Abu Dhabi, he currently steers six flagship infrastructure projects across Nigeria, Togo, Gabon, and Guinea totalling more than €4.5 billion in aggregate financing, with sovereign counterparties, DFIs, ECAs, and international lenders sitting around the same table.
✈️ His diagnosis at the Africa CEO Forum 2026 in Kigali was disarming in its simplicity. The greatest challenge facing the continent today, he argued, is cooperation in every sense of the word: on regulation, on standards, on the movement of people, on commercial flows. He pointed to a reality every African business traveller knows too well, that flying from one West African country to another often means routing through Europe before coming back down to the continent. A small logistical detail with a vast economic cost.
🌍 This is precisely where the AfCFTA promise meets the AfCFTA practice. Pan-African capital flows, intra-African trade, harmonised regulation, and the megaprojects shaping the continent's next decade all depend on the same precondition: that African economies start talking to each other more, faster, and equip themselves with the tools to actually do business together. Africa's investment thesis hinges on it.
