  • “No Kings Rally”, Where the Black Ppl At?

    No Kings Rally is a series of well coordinated peaceful demonstrations against #47’s increasing tyranny; organized by a number of orgs including ACLU which, fun fact, has more than 50 cases filed against Trump at the moment. Yesterday, all over America, millions took to the streets. I was there 3 hours, listening to some of…

  • Meet Tidjane Thiam

    It is as if our regions are allergic to brilliant men & women… Check this out: Ivory Coast’s presidential elections are set for next month & we are unfortunately foreseing chaos. I have confirmed we will not observe these elections. Generally, when we observe we are to maintain neutrality. Remember when I observed US elections…

  • A Quickie on Marxism, Socialism, Communism

    It is 3am, creative juices are highest “iyo nicuye” – which is when I work on “Ode to My Father”. (First Book) The topic of Sankara possibly being a Socialist comes up in my research. These economic systems STAY confusing me. So… I call for a quickie. Not the type others are engaging in at…

  • My One of a Kind Political Campaign

    Being a “first” is always sexy but you know what’s sexier? Jesus-style-service: feet washing/ prostitute mixing/ tax collector vibing. What will my political campaign look like? Like this. Nothing will change. You will still see me, unprovoked, wearing random sunglasses at midnight in the streets of Nairobi. You will still see me, unprovoked, in New-York…

  • Kenya & Customer Service in Africa

    As I prepare to travel to my 9th African country in coming days for work, I note, Kenya is a Pan African Hub. First of all, they have eliminated visas for all Africans. Granted, this is not yet in full effect. These laws take a minute to fully implement but still. How cool? They seem…

  • Presidential French Couple Sues (Wanna be White) Candace

    To her greatest delight, Candace has been sued by the Macrons for insisting Mrs. Macron was born male. Please refer to my previous blogs on Feb 3&14 for the facts surrounding the controversy. Brigitte does not warm my bed. Others do the job very well (cough cough…) As such, her private parts m’importe peu (have…

  • Kémi & I in DRC

    Let the record reflect. I did not hapharzadly meet Kémi Séba. I had a drink with him & his wife. We talked about Kinshasa traffic. We pondered, where are the traffic lights? We did not linger on the topic – for our obsession with Africa does not permit… We talked about pure democracy not being…

  • Ibrahim Traoré – Sankara’s Reincarnation?

    Have you heard of the Alliance of Sahel States (Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger). They are on everyone lips in Panafrican circles. They kicked out French troops, ended military cooperation with former colonial powers, and for that we say “Alhamdulillah”. Africans everywhere are re-energized, our dignity is slowly being restored, so we chant “Amandla, Ngawethu”, “The…

  • Future of American Politics

    Only thing I love more than an brilliant man is a brilliant woman. Imagine my delight when I heard that my Kenyan sister (whom we affectionately call Honorable Tacha) and I will be spending 3 days in a retreat with 41 women from across the nation, most of whom have aspirations for public office and…

  • Life Lately…

    First things first, 7000 Dead Bodies in DRC since last month. There are really no more words left to say in re- depravity of man, but let us take a moment of silence to honor every life lost. As for you Genocide apologist, Ewww, brute that you are, may your pinky ever get jammed in…
