Très sympa, mais jusqu’à quand vous allez obscurcir la peau des darkskins juste pour avoir un « haut contraste », au point qu’on distingue même plus leurs traits du visage ? 😻

The most frustrating thing is asking same the questions but no one @stanbicug seems to have answers. Their visa team has the same vague response each time. Is this how you protect our money?

There must be grand heist happening at @stanbicug as I’ve had exactly the same experience. Reported suspicious activity, card was blocked but new transactions were made anyway. They’ve refused to reverse the transactions saying an OTP was sent to me and charges were authenticated

I have spoken to several of your customer care consultants, supervisors and even sent emails refuting your resolution to this case but I am still receiving the same vague and dismissive responses! @stanbicug is this how you are accountable to your customers? SHAME ON YOU!

My card was blocked as soon as I reported the suspicious activity, why were the payments still successful after that? Answer my questions @stanbicug I have been patient with you and given you plenty of time to resolve this matter. I need my money refunded IMMEDIATELY!

@stanbicug I am utterly disappointed in your lack of transparency and accountability! A month later, following fraudulent activity on my account, I asked the bank to block my card in the hopes that the transactions would be reversed and money would not be deducted from my account

In 1879, Ugandan healers were performing cesarean sections with a survival rate that stunned European doctors—while much of the "civilized" world still saw the procedure as a death sentence. British explorer Robert Felkin documented the operation in detail. The surgeon used banana wine as an antiseptic, herbal anesthetics to manage pain, and cauterization with a hot iron to control bleeding. The mother survived. The baby survived. The technique worked. This wasn't primitive luck. It was sophisticated medical knowledge passed down through generations—refined, systematic, life-saving. Yet the dominant narrative tells us modern medicine arrived in Africa with colonizers and that before European intervention, the continent had no science, no innovation, no expertise. But here's the contradiction: if African medical practices were so "backward," why were European observers documenting them with awe? Why were these techniques—rooted in empirical observation and botanical knowledge—producing outcomes that Europe itself struggled to achieve until the late 19th century? The Buganda Kingdom had what the British Empire didn't: working cesarean sections that saved lives. So what else were we doing that got erased, ignored, or rebranded as "discovered" by someone else?

They will let you be radical in fashion, radical in sexuality, radical in aesthetics. Be whatever you want, as long as you are not radical about land, resources, bases, and sovereignty. The empire does not care what you wear. It cares what you are willing to question.
