@Aeroplan I'm elite status and your customer service has been running me around in circles for 3 months. I booked a business class flight with points and was downgraded at the airport to economy. I am tired of chasing you for a refund, this should be a straightforward. Do better!

You heard it! YC-backed fintech ⁦@numidatech⁩ raises $12.3M led by ⁦@SerenaVentures⁩ to extend loans to MSMEs beyond Uganda | TechCrunch. This is how we #playtowin!!!! techcrunch.com/2022/09/28/yc-…

Uganda's first YC-backed startup @numidatech (YC W22) has raised $12.3M in a round led by @SerenaVentures to fuel the growth of Africa's micro and small businesses. Congrats to the team! techcrunch.com/2022/09/28/yc-…

@TTChelps why can't you load your presto card at these machines on the streetcar? Why are you making it unnecessarily hard for people to give you money?

Consider this: In the next 18 YEARS, Africa will add 700m people, which is >2x the entire population of the US. And by then, the median age will be just 23 (US = 38) and urbanization rate 54% (US = 83%). Worrying about competition is missing the point - and the opportunity.

We're excited to announce that we're part of the @ycombinator W22 batch! Every day we get to support hardworking Uganda micro businesses with the working capital they need to grow. If you'd like to join our mission, we're hiring! numida.com/careers

.@mayor_collier why can't people waiting for a vaccine stand inside McClean community centre? It's cruel to have people wait in the freezing cold for a vaccine in the parking lot of an empty community building?

@MoWT_Uganda what do I have to do to get a response to my request for login credentials? It shouldn't take 10 days to reply to an email.

@MinofHealthUG what is going in with vaccinations? How can we access a second dose?

.@MinofHealthUG @JaneRuth_Aceng the health workers and security guards at Kisiwa Health Center are charging people 20k for the Covid Vaccine consent form. If you don't pay, you sit there for hours without getting a form as you watch others get vaccinated who paid the bribe.

On to the next step! techcrunch.com/2021/04/13/mfs…

@borismartin @bbest86 @catden_is @numidatech Many thanks Boris!

@complexcanada @harryroseninc Considering this brand is focused on social justice issues, why is there zero information on the product page about where these items are made? Where is the cotton from for these t-shirts and hoodies? Why is the humanity of the people who make these clothes not highlighted?

@UmemeLtd @uetcl what is happening with power in mbuya, been off since noon

#OutageAlert: We are currently experiencing a Nation wide power outage and are working with @uetcl and all stakeholders to have power restored as soon as possible. All inconveniences caused are regretted. |Fe twitter.com/uetcl/status/1…

@Mirayhp Thank you! This is exactly what I was wondering...why are we still out here supporting the oppressor. Not all cops are bad, but they definitely don't need our support.

It is unfortunate that many Coptic diocese in North America have sent out statements that mean very little. How do you support Black lives AND the police while also condemning property destruction, all in one statement?

A statement of solidarity is merely the beginning of real anti-racist work. I hope Copts in North America are mobilized to fight for social justice. We ought to extend our outrage at injustice to the Black communities we share this country with. #BLM

@UmemeLtd what is happening in mbuya?
