Decoloniality scholars publish with Western journals and publishing houses, take up professorship in Western universities, and apply for research and conference funding from Western entities. Yet they are here telling us that the West which is fattening them are the bad guys.

Spoke to a granny from oshigambo about why village women get pregnant more even though they are aware of family planning, and I stopped judging my cousins with 12 babies and 6 Babydaddys . It's a mental/ psychological comfort it's not just carelessness and sex

@lamechthinkbig @nomadnico @FAccTConference How can I get hold of this paper

Yay 🎉, our paper titled: “Invigorating Ubuntu Ethics in AI for healthcare: Enabling equitable care” with @nomadnico has been accepted @FAccTConference . Good to read the 🤔 reviews and I am glad the reviewers love it 😍 #FAccT2023

Moral failure of society begins at home, not parliament. A person unmoved by the suffering of their relatives, dismissing them as lazy for living in shacks, will not develop compassion for strangers once entrusted with power. Leadership does not create character, it exposes it.

@toys_ndjebela Cubans won't hesitate

😅 Send the Cubans to Onandova and our Zimbabwean sisters to Nakabolelwa. So that Jessica and Ndahafa can stay in Ongwediva and Tsumeb.

@KaseraBM Short lived? I think we got accustomed to everything state run being mediocre? Why Cuba? There were talks which didnt advance for such a plant. Also, Cuba is a strong example where pharmaceutical sector is owned by state, many others examples are out there, but I'm biased.

@Batchotep Why Cuba when South Africa and Egypt can provide us with the needed expertise? A state-owneded plant, in my view, will be short-lived.

Given the acute shortage of essential medicines in public hospitals, our government needs to rethink its future approach to this crisis. We need long-term solutions. I suggest investing in local pharmaceutical companies to produce drugs: FabuPharm is a good place to start.

Martha Nussbaum captures a difficult truth on the fragility of goodness, “You should care about things in a way that makes it possible for tragedy to happen to you.” So anything meaningful enough to bring profound joy also carries the power to wound, disappoint, or break you.

Poverty and unemployment can force people to develop a brutal endurance for suffering. When survival is a daily battle, the threshold for agony often becomes painfully high. That is the tragedy of it all.

@100_real_elton There’s Christian genocide going on in Nigeria, it’s not trendy but they’re in the World Cup Q. Massacres in Congo so who picks which crime to punish or not

Drake clearly wrote this album himself 🤦🏾‍♂️

By the way, if you're African and you're new to geopolitical awareness, you can use this picture as a guide to know who is on your side and who is your enemy in this world. Notice how China and Russia voted? Then notice how your oyibo faves voted (or abstained, which is also a type of vote)? Shebi "not everything is about race"? You see how white people ALWAYS instinctively bunch together, from Andorra to Norway, whenever it's time to do some racist shit? That's called Pan-Europeanism. The antidote is Pan-Africanism.
