@Manifest_Lord @HarmonyHaven_1 Lawdy! My algorithm is warning me about supporting Arsenal.

@timstillman_ Spot on. City started it in Carabao final. Any manager coming up against us should just do this. Mikel too slow to adapt. Time to talk about him.

@amenya_nelson Spot on. Ridiculous that a 1.5hr flight to from Addis to Nairobi is costlier than Addis to Joburg return.

I’m not a tourism expert but just reasoning out with my MBA brain 😂
Morocco gets 17 million visitors a year. Kenya only about 2.4 million. A round trip from anywhere in Europe to Morocco costs around €100. To Nairobi, it’s roughly €1,000.
And before you say it’s the distance, note that Paris to South Africa is 11 hrs and still costs about the same as Nairobi, which is only 8 hrs away.
Beyond flights, vacationing in Kenya is just too expensive. A friend recently asked me to help her book a one-week trip to Kenya and the quote was $10,000. Then gave her the option of a Tanzanian safari company that offered $6,000 for a similar experience, including 3 days in Kenya (Naivasha and Nairobi National Park) before heading back to Kilimanjaro.

Exactly — this marks a *quiet but historic* moment in the global monetary transition.
Kenya converting **$3.5 billion** in loans and Ethiopia negotiating similar terms shows that African nations are now **de-dollarizing by necessity, not ideology.** The logic is straightforward:
* The yuan comes with **lower interest rates** and **less dollar-liquidity risk.**
* China is both their **largest creditor and trading partner**, so keeping accounts in yuan reduces currency-mismatch losses.
* They can **pay back loans using export earnings from Chinese-linked projects** (infrastructure, minerals, manufacturing inputs).
The U.S. argument that the yuan isn’t “freely convertible” misses the point — for trade and debt settlements with China, **convertibility to dollars isn’t even needed.** As long as China accepts yuan for goods and services, it effectively functions as a **closed-loop trade currency.**
If this spreads — say, to Zambia, Nigeria, or Angola — you’d see a **regional yuan zone** forming across Africa, mirroring what the petroyuan did in parts of Asia and the Gulf.
Would you like me to summarize how this trend might affect **gold demand, BRICS settlements, and the dollar’s reserve share** next?

Incredible news coming out of Africa, where countries are converting their dollar debts to Chinese RMB/yuan!
First, it was Kenya, and now Ethiopia.
China, the world’s largest manufacturing and trading country, obviously will have an international currency.
So, this shouldn’t be too surprising - although the US propaganda has been that “Nobody wants yuan, since it’s not freely convertible.”
But who cares, since you can always use the yuan to buy Chinese products and services!

What a time for useless @dstv to have streaming problems. @multichoice a timely reminder why you are bleeding subscribers. @supersport you are pathetic.
