I ordered food on Yango and the rider called me to tell me that the restaurant didn’t have what I ordered. He then gave the phone to the waiter who gave me fresh options and I ordered. She then told me the bill was K482 or there about, so I sent K490 to the rider just to be safe.

There are 18 African cardinals eligible to participate in the upcoming papal conclave to elect a new pope. This makes up about 13% of the total 135 cardinal electors under the age of 80 who are permitted to vote.

The 18 Cardinals are from: 🇩🇿 Algeria 🇧🇫 Burkina Faso 🇨🇻 Cape Verde 🇨🇫 Central African Republic 🇨🇩 Democratic Republic of the Congo 🇪🇹 Ethiopia 🇬🇭 Ghana 🇬🇳 Guinea 🇨🇮 Ivory Coast (2) 🇰🇪 Kenya 🇲🇬 Madagascar 🇲🇦 Morocco 🇳🇬 Nigeria 🇷🇼 Rwanda 🇿🇦 South Africa 🇸🇸 South Sudan 🇹🇿 Tanzania

Three African cardinals — John Onaiyekan (🇳🇬 Nigeria), Polycarp Pengo (🇹🇿 Tanzania), and John Njue (🇰🇪 Kenya) — reached the age of 80 in 2024 and thus lost their voting rights. However, Cardinal Njue remains eligible until 2026 due to a correction in his official birth year.

Another big game from the team. One more final coming. Let’s go! 💪🏽

COUNT IT!!!!! see you in the finals 😛
