Nairobi fitness program was short lived.
I guess the cirry governor didn't care about our health after all 😂😂
#MatatuCBDBan lifted.
I refuse to praise a leader who makes uninformed decisions and uses his people as guinea pigs for his policy experiments! Mike Sonko lifting the ban must not be taken as a favour ! #MatatuCBDBan
I hope Mike Sonko leant a lesson or two from yesterday.
Today, Nairobi traffic will be worse. It's raining, people in private cars had already left for town before the #matatuCBDban was lifted. Now , add matatus.
We need leaders who think before they act

China's Africa strategy.

1. Economic Engagement
2. Military Interests
3. UN Peacekeeping
4. Political Party Training
5. Soft Power

USA's African strategy to be released in under a week.

My question : What is Africa's strategy towards the two?
africacenter.org/spotlight/chin…
My take:
For Africa to benefit from these strategies from either the USA or from China, there is need to move as a unit.
When China pledges funding , they do so while looking at Africa as a unit.
We must not forget that every country in Africa has it's own needs and interests.
But these needs should not drive a country to entertain imperialist/exploitative policies.

African countries need to stop being too thirsty for funding without proper monitoring and accountability mechanisms.

There is need to get our own strategy towards the East and the West.

Universal healthcare , however hard it may seem to achieve, should be something the government of the day should prioritize and relentlessly pursue . With that , Kenyans will not fall into the trap of #QuackClinic
#QuackClinic is a sorry case of Kenyans trying to preserve their lives but instead , endangering the same lives for lack of better healthcare options. Universal Healthcare should not only be on paper among the Big 4 Agenda. It should be implemented
But how can we have a conversation about Universal Healthcare if we do not have the conversation about misuse of funds and corruption in both our Public and private healthcare systems?

1/ OMG, the end of good times. No more left to do. Where’s the innovation. Shocking news from Apple on revenue, but needs some context.

Maturing or mature markets are not dead markets. The world did not change overnight even with this announcement.

This isn’t this is fine. This is fine but with a circle/slash around it.
2/ Smartphones are the first product that penetrated nearly the entire world from essentially two vendors (“google” and Apple). That itself is shocking.

It means dynamics at play are new to everyone. Predictions about future are tricky when one runs out of untapped customers.
3/ As many like @benedictevans and @asymco shown the growth in iPhone units has been slowing (to shrinking by some measures). That led to stopping the reporting of units from Apple “certainly a sign” as many noted.

Guess who's going on their second date tonight...
Second dates.. what subjects do you explore?. I think it's a good time to bring up the subject of #PrEP. 1. It lets the person know that I care about sexual health. 2. If they say something like, "#PrEP is for sluts" (I've heard that) I'll ask them why they believe that.
Imagine if you were talking to someone and you mentioned that you are taking the contraceptive pill and their response was, "the pill is for people that don't want to use condoms and be promiscuous" - Sometimes people make judgements about your moral character because of a pill.

Health care is a top concern for many Americans—and members of Congress must now decide how to move forward.

Their task: provide a coherent answer to our national anxiety over health care.

Here’s how they can. 👇🏽
Americans care immensely about health care—in countless polls the number one issue voters said they want their elected representatives to address is the high cost of health coverage.
Despite this dynamic, Republicans ran away from an issue that had been a source of political strength in recent years.

Perhaps it was because of their failed attempt to repeal Obamacare...

1. Since twitter deleted my Smallpox Thread, I'm doing it again. It's obviously important info they don't want you to see.
2. Smallpox was a 18th and 19th Century “filth disease”
Smallpox, cholera, plague, yellow fever, typhus, typhoid and others are a group of infections known as ‘filth diseases.” All were cleared away by improving hygiene and sanitary living conditions.
3. New York City
During the year, the City removed of 20,000 dead horses, mules, donkeys, cattle from the streets. The department also removed nearly half a million
smaller animals such as pigs, hogs, calves, and sheep

Short-lived are the marks sea casts on a shore but not the memories it leaves on a coast. After a sail off the Poonthura shore with Rinku chettan (Photographer) on the hundredth day of Ockhi, we returned home with a heavy heart. (1/n)
After all the discussions about fishermen's safety and the promises government extended to the fisher-folk, not a single measure has been adopted to practicalise any of it. (2/n)
Our companion Andrews told us that a similar calamity can cause a graver damage even after a hundred days from now. (3/n)
