In Accra, Ghana, I visited the secretariat of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) to check on the progress of the implementation of AfCFTA. When properly implemented, AfCFTA has the potential to redeem Africa from economic slavery.

Our commitment to building the Africa we want as enshrined in Africa Agenda 2063 is unprecedented, unmatched & unwavering. We'll leave no stone unturned in our struggle to deliver the Africa that works for Africans. Honored to make my contributions to the struggle. Not yet Uhuru.

In 2022, I lost about 25M Uganda shillings to a well crafted online scam. It all started when a friend of mine Mauwa whom I’d been friends with for over 8 years reached out to me about a business opportunity that had changed lives. She asked to schedule a call so..

It was a great honor to deliver the guest speech on World Engineering Day in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia🇪🇹. I challenged African engineers to design the Africa we want because, as Africans, we should know best the Africa we want. Watch my full speech here: youtu.be/wr0r959vfho?si…

In life what I have learned is what a State is capable of. I tell young people this, they do not seem to understand what I mean. A state is extremely powerful and it can do many things to anyone. I am extremely careful with any state.

General @sejudav sir, here is exactly what you were writing about earlier ☹️

I'm so glad to see my philosophical poem, "When I am Gone," published in the renowned FIELDS AFAR Magazine. The poem challenges us to show love❤️ to people when they're still alive. We shouldn't wait for someone to die & then claim we love them. Read the poem & reflect on it.

IT IS DIFFICULT TO BE RAILA ODINGA. They steal his victory and call him “perenial loser of elections”, but he moves on for Kenya’s sake. When he leads maandamanos and protests for rights, they say he is a blood-thirsty enemy of progress and a lord of poverty engaged in economic…

Africa must silence the guns; peace and stability for prosperity. #Raila4Africa

At the British Council in Accra, Ghana, I attended the launch of the book, "Revolution & Democracy in Ghana: The politics of Jerry Rawlings." Met great minds who believe, as I do, that Africans must read to build the Africa we want. I will devour the book from cover to cover.

After harvest, tomatoes are sprayed with pesticides to ‘keep them fresh’. Certainly these pesticides get inside the tomatoes. I met this vendor in my village in Masaka. See what we eat. It is the same with most vegetables, and passion fruits. Farmers use whatever they can…

While we appreciate the UN establishing a Permanent Forum for People of African Descent at the UN, if the UN is serious about addressing African issues,the inclusion of ONE African country into the 5 member UN Security Council is a MUST! No more talking HE Amb Chihombori Quao MD

Today in Ghana, I visited the Secretariat of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) to know the progress made so far. Most of the staff don't properly understand the AfCFTA. A receptionist couldn't tell me the countries whose flags were behind her seat. Africa, wake up!
