I eat everything sold on the street, however dodgy the source. The dirtier the better 😂 Lamide gave me that look because my stomach was running right before this 🙈 I don’t learn and my producers are so over it

I invited 150 of my closest friends in the media and climate spaces to a chill evening. It rained so it was literally cold but it was a warm gathering. Might do another one, probably in a different city until I’ve met all my 1.8 million besties here. Would you show up? 📸 @festolang

Traveling in Africa is the pits. Why do I have to fly to Europe to get to parts of Africa?

A black cat passed me at the airport. Is it my village people, or is someone travelling in disguise?

The British government has agreed to pay almost $4 million to more than 7,000 Kenyans affected by a 2021 fire started during a military training exercise but won't accept liability for the incident. Locals say the blaze caused lasting health problems, destroyed property and damaged the environment. CNN's @larrymadowo reports. Tap the link in @cnn’s bio for more.

EXCLUSIVE: The UK is paying $4million to thousands after the British Army Training Unit Kenya (BATUK) started a major fire that ruined lives and burned 12,000 acres. The Ksh500m payout is 20X smaller than they demanded and the UK will not accept liability. Most locals will get just Ksh22,000 ($170) and they cannot sue BATUK again about the fire

Thousands of Kenyans got into the stadium for free after fans broke through an exit and forced their way in to watch their team against Morocco. Kenya won 1-0 so was it worth it

While the U.S. is raising tariffs on Africa, China plans to drop tariffs on all African nations (except eSwatini which still recognizes Taiwan). South Africa is scrambling to pivot after 30% tariffs and is looking to "reliable" partners in the EU and China. What would you do?

Malawians and Zambians applying for U.S. visas will have to pay a deposit of up to $15,000. If you don't come back, you lose the money. But they don't have the highest visa overstay rates in Africa, so why them? Their governments have not responded to the "visa bonds" policy 2 days later. Nobody wants to upset America rn

The US didn’t sign a trade deal with any African country before Trump’s August 1 deadline. South African officials were even left on read before getting hit with 30% tariffs. Is Africa a low priority or they’re just small economies that can’t compete?

Why can’t you mind your business like this swan?

He’s free and @bonifacemwangi says he will not be intimidated. Kenya has charged 70+ protesters with terrorism. But I've covered actual terrorism in Kenya and these charges trivialize the losses many Kenyan families have suffered. This is a "weaponization of the criminal justice system" to silent dissent, lawyers and activists say.
