Went fishing today. Caught no fish but a beautiful sunset. 📷 by @Soteria. Merry Christmas to you all.

The war against indiscipline has stalled because there’s an upper hand directing the police not to move. They claim they are embarrassing politicians. Was this country built for only politicians? -@Sammens

Mobile-phone-based money transfer systems are innovative—but are they really good for poverty reduction and development? Not really, suggests the evidence from Kenya. But you won't see that in the breezy write ups in mainstream media. africasacountry.com/2019/10/…

There has been an extremely econocentric way of thinking about enclaving. We want to rethink and challenge this idea of what #enclaving means, says @BjornEBertelsen of @RCN_Norway supported #UrbanEnclaving project. #SDG11 #SDG8 #urban @UNHABITAT @LeneDale bit.ly/2syW2mw

The mythical middle class has become the foundation of faulty analysis and wishful thinking across Africa about our progress and future prospects. Another annoying red herring.
Kenya’s “floating middle class” (those who are not poor, but for whom a slight disturbance can plunge them back into the abyss of poverty) according to the AfDB, is at 44.9% & without them, Kenya’s middle class would be at a low 16.8%-STD.-The myth of the Kenyan middle class

Aretha: you're the reason why I'm a singer today. When Amazing Grace came, it was the first time I saw a black woman on an album cover. Aretha was sitting on the steps, she’s wearing a beautiful African dress. Everything about the photo suggested pathways and possibilities to me.

Ghana has lost one of its literary greats, the poet and academic Prof Atukwei Okai. We mourn the silencing of this exhuberant, humanising and uplifting voice and persona. He made poetry accessible and enjoyable with his incredible performances. Thank you Prof and travel well.
