โThe same people who have the audacity to tell us that we are poor countries, they are taking trillions out of Africaโ. - Dr Arikana Chihombori.

En Brasil estรกn intentando concienciar a la gente de algo fundamental para entender la victoria de Lula: no interactuar absolutamente con nada de la derecha. Ni siquiera para criticarla. Cada interacciรณn les da visibilidad. Ni difusiรณn, ni respuestas, ni citas. Interacciรณn cero.

Dentist dropping gems! Doing most of these years ago changed my life for the better.

Kenya is quite the paradox. Our refugee camps shelter people fleeing wars in neighbouring countries, while our posh estates are home to the families of the very warlords accused of driving them from their homes.
The victims seek refuge here. So do the families of their tormentors. From the 70s to now. Whenever there is a humanitarian crisis in Rwanda, South Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sudan, Uganda...
You can guarantee that you will bump into wives and children of 'persons of interest' living their best lives in uptown Nairobi malls and schools
Succession jitters send Ugandaโs elite house-hunting in neighbouring Nairobi.

Why Africans Didn't Give Up Our Tasty Food for C*lonial Slop
Adaeze M. Nwadike, founding editor of Arts Lounge Literary Magazine, argues Africans didnโt give up their food like they did their religion and other cultural products because food isnโt abstract.
What could Africa have become had we not adopted so much c*lonial slop? Drop us a comment.

It just occurred to me that the average right winger believes Africa doesn't have agriculture or livestock
My uncle did a mission trip to Africa to teach a village how to raise pigs for food.
They flew in with a bunch of pigs, built pens for them, Food and water troughs, and taught them how to breed them so they could always have meat. Two weeks of work and teaching.
They went back a year later to check on the village. They had thrown a giant party the night after my uncle left, slaughtered and ate all the pigs, sold the feeders and fencing, and were really pissed off that the mission didn't bring them more pigs.

When Kasongo came into power, 1,000 would get you around 70 units. Today, the same amount can barely get you 35 units. This is daylight robbery! Yet we are expected to cheer and overwhelmingly vote him back into power. For what exactly?

Do you wanna come to dinner with my parents and observe the unsaid lifelong dynamics that control every aspect of my life and unlock a new level of intimacy in our friendship or no
