The truth about the "Africa Is Rising" narrative ! These headlines have practically been the same over the past 3 decades, "Africa is Rising, Africa the next big thing, etc". I find a number of profound flaws to this narrative which I am more than happy to share with you Thread

In 1998, I was fired from my corporate job while 9 months pregnant because and I quote, “my priorities would be elsewhere after the baby is born.” The lawyer I hired told me I didn’t have a case because discrimination like “that” was almost impossible to prove. So I got pissed. Took the LSAT. Went to law school. Passed the bar. Had 3 more kids. Twelve years later, another woman from that same company was fired for the same reason. She sued them for a million dollars, and won, partly because I had kept every piece of evidence from what happened to me years prior demonstrating a systemic pattern of discrimination against women. That company no longer exists. My law practice is thriving. And that baby they said would derail my priorities? She’s a brilliant attorney now working at my firm. Turns out my priorities were indeed, elsewhere.

Seeing your home girl losing herself and crying herself to sleep builds resentment.

My newest prayer is simple: "Lord, settle it." Settle my mind. Settle my heart. Settle my spirit. Teach me to walk in peace instead of anxiety, and faith instead of fear.

His name is Professor Mashudu Tshifularo and this landmark surgery took place in March 2019 at the Steve Biko Academic Hospital in Pretoria, South Africa.

Francophone Africa never gave a fuck about numbers. The impact is in the streets. You cannot spend 24 hrs in Douala without hearing Fally Ipupa’s music at least twice a day and this is the case for multiple cities across French Africa. That’s our baby fr.

And when you finally make it in life, may your health never fail you.

Le Cameroun a les meilleurs plats d’Afrique ! Dimanche 12h vous comprendrez.

Sabastian Sawe didn't break the 2-hour marathon barrier just because of the Adidas "supershoe." He's a damn good athlete. These East Africans all are. I had to tell the whole world on CNN. Everyone be guided. Thanks for your attention to this matter!

They do things like this because they consider white men and women as the standard for their governing rules, that is the very definition of institutional racism.

Kenya honors Sabastian Sawe’s sub-2-hour marathon with a presidential welcome, $62,000, a car of his choice, and custom plates with his record-breaking time

Welcome to a new era of fast. The #Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3. Now officially the sub-2-shoe.

BREAKING: I want everyone on X to hear this, Never Leave this earth without knowing Jesus. Pass it on until it gets to every living thing on X.

The price of capitalism is loneliness and isolation. The price of community is inconvenience.

I really miss the days when tweets were limited to a small number of characters. These days people are typing epistles and it just takes away from “getting straight to the point”.

Neverrrrrrrrrrrr Everrrrrrrrrrrr underestimate how much of a blessing it is to have zero health problems and your mum still alive.

Nothing annoys me more than someone trying to have a casual conversation with me when they owe me an apology.

I remember back in 2006 when my older brother was a 5th year medical student at Korle Bu and he caused a big family quarrel during a brief holiday in Lagos where he mentioned casually that he regularly administered blood transfusions to his patients. My dad believed that as a Jehovah Witness, my brother should decline to take part in any medical procedure involving blood transfusion on religious grounds. He didn't even want to know whether such a refusal was even possible under the terms of medical practise (it isn't) - all he knew was that 12 white men in Brooklyn who regularly spoke to "Jehovah" had decreed it so, and how dare us children from a JW family not prioritise those instructions over everything else. And because he convinced himself that his placenta was tied to these stupid Jehovah's Witnesses, he went on to lose his whole family that he spent decades building an empire for, and he died rich, miserable and alone. His first child got married and didn't even inform him because she knew he wouldn't approve. His 2nd child (my brother) invited him to his wedding and he declined because the bride was Catholic. His 4th child (me) got married and he was also absent, and he never met any of the 2 grandchildren he had before he died confused and heartbroken. And after thoroughly fucking up his life, the cult just wakes up one day and changes the entire fundamental doctrine that made him go to war with his own children. There is no way to quantify the damage that has been caused here, and even if there were, oyibo man is definitely never going to pay. As in my dad's case and in the case of every other brainwashed, spiritually lost black person, African wey no gree get sense, na oyibo go kill am. All we can do is cry over spilled milk now.
