The Fantastic Four casting debate summed up perfectly



Every discipline taught in the African university, law, political science, sociology, psychology, history, philosophy, arrives pre-structured by the civilization that created the current world order. Law arrives as English common law or French civil law, not as a tradition rooted in the actual governance practices of the societies it is supposed to serve. History arrives with the periodization of European history, ancient, medieval, modern, grafted onto societies for which none of these categories make sense and all of which imply that African history only becomes legible when it intersects with European history. Psychology arrives as a set of theories developed by studying largely white, educated, Western populations and declared universal. Philosophy arrives as a tradition that begins in Greece, passes through Rome, arrives in the European Enlightenment, and occasionally, generously, includes a footnote about African philosophy. The student who completes this education is not educated about their own world. They are educated into someone else's world. They graduate literate in the assumptions of their dispossession. And then they are asked to develop their country using these tools. The tools were built to explain a different house. They do not fit the door.

“Our education and English are good. If you listen to a Nigerian speak English, you’ll need a translator.” — Kenya’s President, William Ruto fires back at President, Tinubu after he spoke about Kenya’s economy.

The same universe btw 😭

People laughing at Arsenal not winning the league. Meanwhile it’s been 14 years for United 10 years for Chelsea With no hope or serious project in sight

Nairobi Expressway is 27 kilometres and cost about KSh 88 billion, that’s roughly KSh 3.25 billion per kilometre ☺️☺️ And that’s a four-lane road. Rironi - Mau Summit Road, 175 km main stretch + 58 km (Rironi–Maai Mahiu–Naivasha) is costing about KSh 187 billion. That’s less than KSh 1 billion per kilometre. And remember, key sections like Nairobi to Naivasha will be six lanes. But the Expressway is “good,” Mau Summit is “bad,” and Kasongo must go… Alright 😅


genuinely I think there should be another dark avatar cycle in the avatar world that’s like the reincarnation vaatu and unalaq, same way there’s always a reincarnation of the Raava and a good avatar. What do you think? 🤔


I wish we can all turn away from money worshipping as a society. Nobody should be aspiring to be a billionaire. No billionaire has ethical wealth. The politicians who are also billionaires are the reasons why you are very poor. They don’t have your interest at heart.
