@andykristian This is not a disease, my friend. In fact, it is the furthest and farthest thing away from disease. This is a symptom. Of the underlying structure. Of the culture. And of course, on misreading the gauge to think E means Enough.

After spending 2 weeks “cutting deals” in China, your PRE-PAID driver decides to run out of fuel on a highway 🤣🤣🤣 You can’t make this stuff up. What disease is that? We have to be serious, people.

I am reading this book this week and to be honest, it’s intriguing! Africans alone can sort out their mess. Recommended for the curious reader. The kind of book you read with a pen and notebook.

I will try and get it since I am on leave with amazing time to spare. Last year I read another interesting perspective from the book Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty by Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson. Interestingly, they all align with the same narrative.

@Comrade_Otoa Interestingly, Acemoglu and Robinson won the Nobel about a decade after this book came out …

@TimKalyegira @Comrade_Otoa Dr. Mills is South African. And he has worked extensively with African leaders; published papers alongside some like Nigeria’s Obasanjo. He knows what he is talking about. However, there’s a chance that he also writes as Niccolo Machiavelli did: to whisper, to cajole, to seduce.

@Comrade_Otoa As usual, written by a______, perhaps offering the core proof of why Africa is poor.

@Comrade_Otoa I can assure you that Dr. Mills writes this book from a good place; a place of honor. However, I urge you to look beyond leadership; towards institutions & innovation (Nobel prizes for 2024 & 2025). And NO. In such a globalized world, Africa must not ‘sort’ this ‘mess’ alone.

@martinssempa @charliekirk11 @BarackObama @TimKalyegira Again with the ad hominem attacks when you know—in that heart of yours—that there’s a chance that you may have been inaccurate. I will go away. But when we meet in person, you know I’ll have nothing but respect for you. Cause you’re older. And you’re a man of the cloth.

This is the medical look of what they call a "sex change". A grotesque wart looking blob which can't rise or erect at all. The transgender who killed @charliekirk11 had a partner who was "transitioning" in a similar man to woman change. This is the evidence of @BarackObama world wide LGBTQ executive order which weaponized the entire US government to impose these Sodomies on the civilized world. Read my book #WhyareyouGeh to understand #Africas Resistance to homosexuality. Link 🖇️ amzn.in/d/9hoq0Pd

@martinssempa @charliekirk11 @BarackObama @TimKalyegira I doubt that colleagues—including yourself from 1997 to 2000—contemporaries, students, or fellow academics would describe me as dull, naive or gullible. But you’re entitled to your assessment. Doesn’t change the fact that your original post was inaccurate.

@martinssempa @charliekirk11 @BarackObama @TimKalyegira Martin, I am not pretending to be learned. And I am not even saying I know YOUR subject. I am just pointing out that memorandums are not executive orders. And you don’t have empirical evidence that this ‘order’ caused the specific sexual change you illustrated.

@martinssempa @charliekirk11 @BarackObama @TimKalyegira Thank you, Teacher. But if I may point out something, ‘combat’ also means counter. Basically, not necessarily in the offensive but in the defensive. More importantly, an Executive Order has legality to it while the Memorandum is more parsimonious.

"An executive order is a directive by an authority" "Combat" is a directive for use of force or war if necessary Welcome to my class Dennis "By this memorandum I am DIRECTING ALL agencies engaged abroad to ensure that U.S. diplomacy and foreign assistance promote and protect the human rights of LGBT persons.  Specifically, I direct the following actions, consistent with applicable law: Section 1.  COMBAT Criminalization of LGBT Status or Conduct Abroad.  Agencies engaged abroad are directed to strengthen existing efforts to effectively combat the criminalization by foreign governments of LGBT status or conduct and to expand efforts to combat discrimination, homophobia, and intolerance on the basis of LGBT status or conduct.

I notice your problem. You are ignorant on the subject but are too proud to admit that you don't know. I have written a 600 peer reviewed book on the subject. I have Barrack Obama's executive order which weaponized the entire US government including USAID as LGBTQ battering rams. Just go away. I hate proud idiots like you

@martinssempa @charliekirk11 @BarackObama @TimKalyegira Lastly, I bought and read your book because we’ve known each other since I was your first producer on Spectrum in 1997. Your book does not present evidence of an Obama Executive Order. And if I was to be nitpicky, Obama was NOT President in 2019.

Dennis I think it's you who has no idea about the subject at hand. You must be shocked that this is what is sex change looks like. You're trying to keep the image you have in your head that actually sex changes are not this bad. I pity people like you. You're leaving a delusion. Please go away don't waste my time.
