There are days when I think this is how politicians see sustainable development.... and on the rare occasion when (misguided) intent and output align, they celebrate. SMH.

My shocking, yet revealing moment so far this year was when a female friend sent me a picture of her nails in February with “Check out my beautiful nails😌” as Caption. Yeah, she just had her nails done but the nails wasn’t the only thing I saw in the picture.

Isn't there a saner way to do this?

This should be trending on Twitter Ng.

This is inspiring. Trying to nurture a king myself and I know the work that goes into creating that trust in the process and that belief in self. Trusting God and the process of fathering.

We don't often consider that one way to end Sub Sahara Africa's (SSA) dependence on developmental aid is from within aid itself: with the skills aid gave us, with the can-do attitude with which development workers delivered the positives of aid in SSA. Think. Do. Teach.

The Know-do gap must become the Can-do action for Sub-Saharan Africa. No one can do for you better than you can do for yourself. And you have everything it takes.

Love this!
