This is the vote of every country on Ghana's Resolution at the UN seeking to declare slavery as the gravest crime against humanity and demand reparations. Three countries voted NO: 1. USA 2. Israel 3. Argentina The resolution has passed!

Afropessimists never miss when it comes to this shit lol

Why Europe needs tech sovereignty. In one short video. This is coming for a lot more people. Maybe whole countries.

You guys never listened in IT lol

BREAKING: European gas prices jumped more than 30% after Iranian strikes on Qatar’s LNG hub, reaching their highest level since the war began.

The five-year regulatory delay might be the best thing that ever happened to Revolut. While Monzo and Starling spent years as licensed UK banks figuring out how to grow, Revolut was forced to build a business that didn’t depend on UK banking at all. It expanded to 48 countries, hit $4 billion in revenue, grew to 70 million customers, and posted $1.4 billion in pre-tax profit. All without being able to hold more than £50,000 in total UK deposits. That’s less than a single London mortgage. The biggest neobank in Europe was operating in Britain with the deposit capacity of a lemonade stand. That constraint shaped the entire company. Revolut built revenue through FX, crypto trading, subscriptions, and interchange rather than the interest income that traditional UK banks live on. Its wealth division grew 298% in a single year. Lending, the product it can now finally offer in the UK, layers on top of a business that already prints money without it. Monzo got its full UK license in 2017 and took until 2024 to turn a profit. Revolut got locked out of UK banking and built a $75 billion company anyway. Now it gets to layer lending onto 13 million existing UK customers, offer FSCS-protected deposits up to £120,000, and use the PRA stamp as a credential for the US banking charter it filed for last month. Every product it launches in the UK hits an audience that already uses Revolut daily. The regulators who delayed this license accidentally forced Revolut to become something its competitors never figured out how to be: a global fintech that treats the UK as one market among dozens rather than its entire business.

If you understand that this has always been the goal, you will be less confused

UK. Banking. License.

The UK Government has just OFFICIALLY launched Sovereign AI, the Government’s new £500m venture fund and it looks FRESH. The Unit has been given £500 million to invest to help build and scale AI capabilities on British shores. It's been know about for a few months but it has officially launched its brand and website and it looks FRESH. The team itself is also STACKED: > @Jameswise: Partner at Balderton and Chair > Joséphine Kant: Head of Ventures aka running the show And of course the Minister of AI - @KanishkaNarayan This is one of the most exciting initiatives in the UK right now and I can't wait to see what they invest in. Check it out here: sovereignai.gov.uk and follow them on @UKSovereignAI

The London tech optimism is giving me a lot joy. It is one of the best cities in the world and I’ll never change my mind on that.

Instead of sitting on our airwaves trying to recruit Ghanaians to support their senseless violence, he should be explaining to us why his government keeps bombing and killing incidents including Ghanaian peacekeepers. And as for Joy news, you people are a fucking disgrace

48 hours later, Israeli missiles destroy the Ghana peacekeeping camp and severely injures at least 2.

Video of Ghanaian Military Officer praying after Isreal strikes location of the Ghana contingent of UN peacekeepers. 😑

On independence day. Israel bombed Ghanaian soldiers on a peacekeeping mission in Lebanon the same day Ghana was celebrating its independence day.

🚨 NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT THIS ENOUGH Everyone is focused on the bombs. Not enough people are focused on the water. The Strait of Hormuz is effectively CLOSED right now, and if it stays that way, it will impact every single person reading this. Here’s what happens next: The strait is 21 miles wide. Shipping lanes are 2 miles in each direction. Traffic right now is at ZERO. 20 million barrels of oil flow through it every day. That’s 20% of the world’s entire supply. OIL: – Brent at $83. Analysts say $100 minimum if this continues. Deutsche Bank says $200 in a full blockade. – JPMorgan: if this lasts 3+ weeks, Gulf storage fills up. Production forcibly shuts down. Brent hits $120. – Only 2.6 million barrels/day can bypass via pipelines. Out of 20 million. No real alternative. NATURAL GAS: – 20% of global LNG goes through the strait. Almost all of Qatar’s, the world’s largest exporter. – QatarEnergy declared force majeure. Production halted. European gas futures nearly DOUBLED in 48 hours. – 30% of Europe’s jet fuel transits through here. – Pakistan gets 99% of its LNG from Qatar and the UAE. Bangladesh 72%. India 53%. Prolonged closure = blackouts. ASIA: – 84% of Hormuz oil goes to Asia. China, India, Japan, South Korea take 69% of all strait crude. – Japan imports 95% of its crude from the Middle East. Sustained closure collapses the yen. Stagflation. – South Korea channels 68% through Hormuz. That’s why the Kospi just had its worst crash since 2008. – India gets hit twice. Half its LNG is Gulf-linked AND Brent-indexed. Crude spikes = LNG spikes too. – China imports 11M barrels/day. Half from the Middle East. 90% of Iran’s oil. Strait closes, they compete with everyone for Atlantic cargoes. SHIPPING: – Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, MSC, CMA CGM all suspended. Rerouting around Africa. Adds WEEKS. – Insurance pulled entirely. As of March 5, no coverage. Ship owners can’t transit even if they want to. – Supertanker rates went from $37,000/day to $177,000/day. Gets passed to consumers. – Houthis resumed Red Sea attacks. Suez route also compromised. Both chokepoints under threat at the same time. INFLATION: – Brent up 36% YTD. Oil stays elevated = inflation re-accelerates. Fed can’t cut. – Energy costs feed into everything. Food. Transport. Manufacturing. Electricity. – One analyst: “potentially three times the severity of the 1970s Arab oil embargo.” Week 1 is manageable. Strategic reserves cushion the blow. By week 3, storage fills, production shuts down, prices go vertical. This is the part of the war that hits YOUR wallet. I’ll keep monitoring the situation and I’ll keep you updated. This will impact everyone in the world. Turn on notifications so you don’t miss anything. A lot of people will wish they followed me sooner.

@nyaika256 @scarce_moon This disrupts one of the busiest global aviation corridors linking Europe, Asia, and Africa. Qatar Airways and Emirates rely on these hubs for international connections, so closures force flight rerouting, longer journey times, higher fuel costs, and delays worldwide.

9-5 and fasting is not a joke !

So more White people need to be slapped and taught about racism. That’s what the algorithm is telling me
