@tunisky @CRangataJ @n6oflife6 @Cleverlydey4u Just maintaining hygienic environment can reduce Africa's poverty by 30%.

@CRangataJ @n6oflife6 @Cleverlydey4u It is what it is! Just may be because Nigeria is a multi ethnic country with over 200 ethnicities and languages. Every president tend to favor his tribe first which hinders a round development. By the way how many ethnicities are there in South Africa.

Life under the Obalende bridge is harsh, raw, and often ignored. These are the stories of the homeless who survive each day against all odds 🥲

@Peasantcrusadee @theojovi @MattMorseTV Why bother?

Global shipping efficiency could be drastically improved if Africa didn't exist:

@88Nihadayy @theojovi @MattMorseTV The modern yte man is not that intelligent. That's why there's never been any great invention since beginning of 20th century.

@theojovi @MattMorseTV they want to blow up the continet to oblivion , enslavement and colonisation wasn't enough

@Ray2111945 @RiebvJanbeeck A Population estimation for Africa growth is false. Africa growth rate is slowing down, especially this modern generation. It's rare to have amore than 2 household children, as the economy and modern education has really changed the trends. Your prediction are based on bomer gen

For many years, I have been reading books and studies and watching YouTube videos on the unfolding population growth and resource shortage disaster that is unfolding in Sub Sahara Africa (and more recently South Africa). I believe it has now reached a point of no return but it is being ignored by the liberal media. For example, I recently learned that 60% of the water supply in Ghana (population 35.6 million) has been poisoned with mercury from uncontrolled gold mining. But when I queried the new AI search engines they always responded using an “expert’s” opinion. Those experts were almost always from the UN or NGO’s who painted a beautiful future but they all started with assumptions that there will be new agricultural technology advances and other “major interventions” which will negate the risks. So I decided to rephrase the question to screen out opinion and focus on facts. This is how I phrased it; I think the so called experts are vastly underestimating the population disaster that is going to face the populations of sub Sahara Africa in the coming decades. They seem to be hoping for some sort of technological miracle that is going to increase food production so as to match population growth. The First World countries are pulling back aid as they face their own economic problems. Sudan is an example where tens of thousands of refugees depend on Western aid just to barely survive. Ghana’s drinking water is being contaminated with gold mining. South Africa has millions of unemployed immigrants. What is the worst case scenario for sub Sahara Africa in the next 20 years? GROK response: A reasonable scenario for Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) over the next 20 years (to ~2046) will involve a compounding “polycrisis” of explosive population growth outpacing food and water systems, accelerating climate impacts, sharp declines in external aid, and governance failures—leading to widespread famine risks, mass internal displacement, heightened conflict, economic collapse in vulnerable states, and large-scale humanitarian emergencies. This is not a prediction or the most likely outcome (UN and other models include lower-fertility and adaptation pathways), but plausible extrapolation if current negative trends accelerate without major interventions: high fertility persists in many countries, global emissions follow high-warming paths (e.g., 2–4°C+ by mid-century), Western aid continues contracting, and local adaptation lags due to poverty, corruption, or political instability. Your points on population-food mismatch, aid pullback, Sudan-style dependency, Ghana’s Galamsey water contamination, and South African unemployment/xenophobia align directly with drivers in expert assessments from the UN, IPCC, World Bank, and others.

We need to have a serious discussion about Africa’s population growth.

@SupersonicFire1 @RiebvJanbeeck That's a lie. You so delusional. Current modern African homes it's rare to find more than 2 kids. The economy is even tough to accommodate more than that.

@RiebvJanbeeck Nig mitosis is real. If you feed them, eliminate disease for them, and ensure their access to clean water, they will duplicate themselves at virus levels. The worst virus the world will ever know. By far.

@Jeff118485 @RiebvJanbeeck Africa is a continent, you can compare it with countries like China and India.

@RiebvJanbeeck Consider this, too. How many millions of Africans have been invading Europe, the US, Japan, and other civilized nations. Yet the continent's population continues to grow to ridiculous levels. They have surpassed India and China? Stop the aid, FFS, even though it's too late.

@PempheroMphande If we can't help ourselves whp will. Just need to accept the aid and keep quite. Let those who benefit do.

Aid has not developed Africa and will not develop Africa. Despite its vast resources, Africa contributes only about 1% to the global economy. Aid has entrenched dependency, turning Africa into a lazy, perpetually begging bloc, stripped of dignity, urgency and innovation, exporting raw materials while importing finished goods from its own wealth. Because of aid, Africa has forgotten how to hunt. Like Eritrea, the continent must reclaim self reliance and break free now!

@Eben41919206 @MissWaters__ As if we didn't have our local interventions.

@MissWaters__ If Africa were not colonized, the total population of Africa would not have exceeded 10 million by now, malaria, bilharzia, yellow fever, Congo fever, tribal wars, etc, etc, the African population might have been extinct by now, Africa should thank the western civilization

Today marks 374 years since Jan Van Riebeeck first set his blood thirsty **ss little foot at the Cape of Good Hope in Table Bay, Cape Town; Marking the beginning of our suffering as indigenous people of this land.

@AlexandraH33302 Who are these critics who have raised concern?

Across parts of Africa, critics have raised concerns about environmental oversight in some foreign-funded industrial projects, including pollution risks and weak enforcement. Are these concerns being addressed transparently?

A new China-backed water project in Chaani, Zanzibar, is being praised for improving access to clean water. But is this purely humanitarian, or part of a bigger geopolitical strategy?

@BenafaFavourite @kevinmogoi5 That's just a negative stereotype. His welcomed to do so

It's International Day of Women and Girls in Science on 11 Feb! We're celebrating women like Janet Naluwayiro, working to understand snails that host #schistosomiasis 🐌 🪱 Partners: @MinofHealthUG & RANAS © @Igniculus1 #Bilharzia #WomenInScience #BeatNTDs #WomeninSTEM

@LittleLeoCA @9Mind9Sight @WithoutHistory Ok. We poor we need help. Their elimination seem also to have defeated the West. Since westerners have been here for ages trying to eliminate them but invain. So we kind of all defeated. Though we still trying.

@9Mind9Sight @WithoutHistory Forgive my answering a question with a question, but… When is Africa going to catch up to rest of the world and eradicate ebola, diphtheria, cholera, smallpox, measles, malaria, schistosomiasis, dengue, lassa and get HIV under control? I mean without help from the west? Ever?

Reconstruction of late period Royal mummies. Just like the DNA analysis showed.

@teresematt Yes. Mass drug administration need to supported by other approaches to eliminate the diseases.

@AWUOREMILY You mean recrudescence?

The Big 5 NTDs Did you know that 5 specific NTDs can be controlled or eliminated through Mass Drug Administration (MDA)? 1. Lymphatic Filariasis (Elephantiasis) 2. Onchocerciasis (River Blindness) 3. Schistosomiasis (Bilharzia) 4. Trachoma 5. Soil-Transmitted Helminths (Worms) Simple tools, massive impact. #EndtheNeglect #UniteActEliminate

@Shkumo @afuamoa @CSakwah I hate medrepping. The talking when you don't feels like.

@afuamoa @CSakwah 1)Its difficult to practice Biochemistry in its pure form in Kenya 2)Med Reping is rewarding if you are patient and focused. 3)Any degree can give you a job.Your resilience will determine your progress.

I must warn you that there is a small job market for BSc Biochemistry graduates. The only readily available job for you is a university lecturer. I am already occupying that role.

Female Genital Schistosomiasis (FGS) affects ~56M women & girls in sub-Saharan Africa. Caused by Schistosoma haematobium, it impacts urinary & reproductive health, increasing HIV risk. Prevention = clean water + access to treatment! #FGS #EndtheNeglect

A Common Agrochemical Mixture Increases Snail Hosts and Ecological Drivers of Schistosomiasis Risk biorxiv.org/content/10.648… #biorxiv_ecology

Up to 56 million women have female genital schistosomiasis - a disease few have heard of that can cause pain, infertility and increased risk of cancer. The UK is backing @COR_NTD research this #WorldNTDDay to help tackle FGS and improve women and girls’ lives around the world.

@stalefated @info_maiden Schistosomiasis is called a Tropical disease for a reason. Obviously the parasite can't survive in that environment

@info_maiden wait till you find out it's likely africans have already dragged schistosomiasis into europe. takes one person pissing into the water to infect a whole waterway. spain and portugal have snails that would host that parasite as well. oh the joys.... science.org/content/articl…

One side the river. Men defecating in it. The other side. Women bathing in the same water. I will not be forced to share a society with these ‘people.’
