Just last week we were talking of the low bar Manafricanism wants us to allow it to pass as Pan-Africanism

Now I see - Akon 'unsung hero', pan-Africanist 🤣🤣🤣 They would have you think Amílcar Cabral didn't do the work on the interaction of class, production and culture.

And seriously fought for center the material welfare of impoverished on this continent! 😩🙆🏿‍♂️

Akon and his huge land acquisition moves when the natives have no land! Once again Black capitalism takes you to the same hell!!

Akon and his dreams of cities named after him on lands of people whose ancestors are buried on that land but have no land is violence! Akon's huge land acquisitions in a country plagued by combined imperialist, capitalist, patriarchal and dictatorial plunder of communal lands leaving millions landless and in poverty is violence!

"My breasts are special. They are just loooong and ugly and fat and they have veins. And when you are angry they look angry, when you are happy they look happy. Like you know breasts but with special expressions." - @drstellanyanzi Reminds me of a line from one of Dr Stella Nyanzi's poems in No Roses From My Mouth where she describes one women's breasts as "succulent millet brown"
We were never ready, ever! Can't wait to see her in parliament!

Y’all need to hit pause on that motivational speech in middle of a pandemic which has left many jobless! The we-all-have-24-hours-a day stuff! Please people are struggling, stoping your mpenkoni moves beating people in a bad place already!This country had failed many way before If you are not suffering financially and having your mental health at stake, surviving sexual abuse in workplaces, navigating political and economic patronage that defines the job sector in this country or the very least have close people trying hard to stay afloat, please rest

Last night we had conversation with @AfricansRising + @AFRICTIVISTES in the wake of #Guniea's Alpha Conde claiming a third term. It's obvious elections as a marker of democratic leadership are already hijacked by men of this African continent. We have to look for alternatives #Tanzania's sharply rising despot will take the country through this useless exercise of incumbent consolidating power by any means necessary taking away communications and information to his advantage. it's been done over and over. Museveni & others are masters ar this game

Dear young African, we are born, brought up, socialized, educated in colonial constructs called countries. Most of our education refuses to carry us out of these constructs. But you are privileged To be on this app, use it before those ‘intellectual’ gimmicks on #BlackLivesMatter Seek experiences even in your own country. Understand colonialism was white supremacy and violence, this didn’t go away when white people parked at independence only to return next day (neocolonialism). Many Black people have laboured to sort this knowledge #BlackLivesMatter

Make it a habit to teach a younger person some negotiation skills.

It took a woman to tell me “you are charging less than the other consultant yet you are more knowledgeable and skilled in that area”

Will never forget her or that day! Negotiating salary, putting your foot down on the fee that is fair, esp for women (even harder for young women) takes beating these statements of “be grateful for opportunity” out of your head.

It takes someone helping you see why you must be valued.

I am disappointed that you don’t find me guilty of offending the president. I plan to offend Yoweri Museveni Kaguta because he has offended us. Find me guilty of offending the dictator.”

Today @HEBobiwine together with Arua MP elect, Kassiano Wadri, Gerald Karuhanga (Ntungamo), Paul Mwiru (Jinja), form MP Mike Mabikke and 30 other Ugandans will be in court for their bail hearing.
#FreeBobiWine
#FreeArua33 Among the 30 other Ugandans are four women. Their names appear last on the list on the charge sheet. The story centers only prominent figures as it should but often ordinary citizens fighting along, their stories become a footnote. #FreeBobiWine.
