@zoomafrika1 @africaupdates @grok can you draw the map with their actual sizes and not the distorted one?

How do I explain it to my kids?

2025 AFCON IS NOT UNITING AFRICA Ahead of the final match, Senegal vs Morocco, The 🇸🇳 Senegal FA released a strong statement over unfairness and disrespect by CAF and Morocco. Citing; 1. Lack of security. 2. Poor accommodation. 3. CAF restricting Senegalese fans from buying tickets, only allowing them 2k tickets for a 69k capacity stadium and, 4. Making them train right opposite the Moroccan lodge, leaving their tactics open to monitoring. They rejected it, and CAF didn’t provide another facility. Recall same treatment was done to Nigeria vs Morocco during the Semifinal match I’m highly disappointed in CAF for openly displaying favouritism towards Morocco. I weep for Africa.

Resilience and Mental tenacity, that is the characteristic of the #Senegal team. Congrats to the #AFCON25 #Champions #sadiomane #Africa #Football

We welcome the consideration by @Apple — the world’s most valuable multinational technology firm — to work with the Government on the growth of Kenya’s innovation and start-up ecosystem. In San Francisco, United States, met the Apple Chief Executive Officer @tim_cook. Kenya’s green data centre potential is one other area that Apple will look into tapping for achieving the company’s sustainability goals.

This is way to go for Africa. I look forward to seeing some of these initiatives in South Sahara Africa

@kpessawhyte It's great to focus on education at all levels. What happens to those who have been wrongfully educated (socially and culturally) and are trapped in the poverty viscous cycle?

Any policy targeted solely at fighting poverty is bound to fail because poverty is only a symptom of human incapability. This explains why investing in education at all levels is key to unleashing the untapped human capabilities that promote wellbeing, transformation & growth.

Church history is littered with bad marriages. John Wesley—founder of the Methodist movement and one of the three key preachers in the First Great Awakening (along with George Whitefield and Jonathan Edwards)—had a notoriously bad marriage that was full of fights and fits. He and his wife, Molly, relentlessly insulted each other, and their arguments went from private to public. John thought Molly was a rebellious woman who should quietly wait for and on him. Molly was tired of being home alone while he was gone for months at a time on preaching trips. Once, in 1758, when John was preparing to go on another preaching tour, his parting words to her were: “I hope I shall see your wicked face no more.” Not quite pillow talk, Mr. Wesley. John and Molly separated again and again, until she finally left once and for all. He wrote in his journal, “Finally, she left for good. I did not forsake her, I did not dismiss her, I will not recall her.” This is sad indeed. A man who is considered by many to be the organizing force behind the First Great Awakening could not organize his life in such away as to prioritize his wife and could not bring a great awakening to his dead marriage. Wesley pathetically tried to excuse his long absences and cold demeanor behind a ministry mantra: “for the sake of the cause.” According to Robert Southey, in his book The Life of John Wesley, Wesley compared his own ministry impact with the impact of his wife’s life with these cut-to-the-heart words, “…of what importance is your character to mankind? If you were buried just now, or if you had never lived, what loss would it be to the cause of God.” Ouch. Tragically, Wesley is not the only man of God to have a marriage ruled by the Devil. And this is not true just of church history—it’s true all across the world in many churches today. It was true in my marriage early on. For the first several years of my marriage, I was busy preaching at my church on Sunday and leading Dare 2 Share the rest of the week. When I wasn’t on the road or in the office, I came home to collapse on the couch and watch television. I, like Wesley, subconsciously excused my lameness in loving my wife and leading my marriage on busyness with “the greater cause” of Christ. Then one night, it all blew up in my face when our argument spilled over into public, literally during a Bible study. I’ll spare you the gory details, but I ended up in the fetal position in the middle of the Bible study circle, crying unconsolably for 30 minutes. Why? Because I knew she was right and I was wrong. I was a jerk! I hadn’t been paying attention to her and her needs. I had been pulling a Wesley, “for the sake of the cause.” I wanted my wife Debbie to just suck it up so I could go on the road and save lost souls. It was my soul that needed to be saved, not from the flames of Hell, but from the ice-coldness of a marriage on life-support. That moment marked a turnaround point—not an immediate, full 180, but more like a Wall Street graph headed in the right direction. Yes, there have been—and continue to be—ups and downs. But my wife is the love of my life, and we’ve now been co-laboring side-by-side for, as of yesterday, 33 years! Now we’re together “for the sake of the cause.” Busyness from saving souls and leading ministries is not a good excuse for a bad marriage. Instead, our marriages should be a shining example of the Gospel, full of forgiveness, reconciliation and on-going transformation because of the example of Christ on the cross and power that comes through His Spirit.

NIGER! They have some of the largest uranium reserves in the world plus coal, gold, iron ore, tin, phosphates, petroleum, molybdenum, salt, and gypsum and what-have-you. But 95% of very strong young men roaming Ghana and cutting nails Ghana are from Niger. Their women and children form over 90% of street beggars in Ghana. Sometimes you can’t understand.
