You can put on 2 different types of filters in seeing the world:
The first one is the Excuse-Making filter where you see every reason you can't do the thing you want to do.
The second is the Problem-solving filter where you see hurdles and think about how to overcome them.

In many African cultures, the concept of family extends beyond blood ties. Children are taught to see their peers as lifelong siblings. This ensures no one stands alone in times of need.

Rwanda's Itorero program is a bold move to reclaim pre-colonial values
With a two-phase structure—Gutozwa for moral and cultural education, then Urugerero for national service—it's a powerful blend of theory and action.
This isn't just education; it's a cultural renaissance.

One of the values of African society is the spirit of oneness.
This ideology is that the community crowd funds to help those facing a challenge, serving as a guardian to their neighbour's child, and helping out in any way you can.
Collective consciousness was strong.

It's fascinating to me seeing African people tease Black Americans on how they fight for their rights.
Just as Black Americans have much culture to learn from Africa, Africans have a lot to learn from the indomitable Black American spirit.

No it wasn't about equality. It was more economic interests in the North vs the South in the context of industrialization. Similar to why slave trade ended. Wasn't about equality.

The reality of corruption in Africa is a sign of the decline and erosion of African traditional value systems,
which have negatively impacted our sense of collective morality
and has broken down the fabric of our societies, including governance systems.

I just made a 20% return from a mutual fund investment I made 1 year ago, which is good, but at this point I'm gonna cash out and put it in crypto.
In this past week period alone, Bitcoin could yield that same 20% return and Ethereum even more.

Africans are communal people, that's how we progress.
In Ibibio land, friends and relatives would come and assist in doing farm work not because they will be paid,
but so that if it happens that they need such assistance in the future, they will be sure to find it.
