Youโ€™re about to see the west fund a bunch of power infrastructure projects around Africa and exactly 0 Africans will have more stable energy than they did before, iโ€™ll let you guess why.

Microsoft's plans to build a $1 billion data center in Kenya have stalled indefinitely due to a lack of power capacity in the country. In order to run the data center, they'd have to completely shut off power in around half of Kenya.

Nairobi operates this way and we get labelled as 'house negros' yet everyone with a brain knows it's the right thing to do.
Africa should not have to choose from France or Russia or China, โ€œwe should be receptive to all,โ€ Nigerian billionaire Tony Elumelu told me at Africa Forward Summit. He welcomes all investment as long itโ€™s on โ€œmutually beneficial terms,โ€ he says

The world really is a museum of passion projects. Almost everything that looks obvious now began as someoneโ€™s obsession. A hospital. A fund. A bank. A university. A public company. Someone carried it before the world recognised it. And the carrying is ugly.

As someone who went to business school, I can say that business school in 2026 has a very high opportunity cost. The best thing you can get out of business school in 2026 is a life partner. It's a great place for a single woman or man to find someone worth spending their life with. Everything else is easier to do on the internet.
JUST IN: Business schools are slashing MBA tuition by as much as 50% due to falling demand.

Btw donโ€™t be surprised mkiona middle class wakishift to EV instead of fighting fuel prices. We have seen it before. Instead of fighting for: 1. Better schools, they opt for private school. 2. Better roads, they buy off-road vehicles. 3. Better hospitals, they go for private ones.

This is a remarkable photograph-not a woman in sight. China & US -not a single woman in the room.
A painting of the end of meritocracy: A meeting of the two largest economies and not one woman at the table.

I read a paper that was SO WELL DONE. I was impressed. The results were cool, but especially, the paper included all controls that the rest of us ignore - sometimes due to money/time issues, sometimes lazyness. So I emailed the authors to congratulate them Reply was emotional

Mjengo Elimu Community โ€” Final Update Before May 30. Team, Since we began on June 1, 2023, this has been a time of great learning. From the very first posts to the 7.2K members we have today, weโ€™ve shared real insights on Kenyan design, construction realities, real estate, property investment, and what actually works on the ground. A community cannot be carried on the shoulders of one person. I want to give special thanks to every Moderator who stepped in at various times to keep the gig going โ€” @MainaKaibere, @Mzinduzi, @PodCityKe, @arabbu, @Canduh_, @Arcfunmi, @DamonZumbroegel, @benedict_odongo, @CPM_Mutuse, @HumphreyAdenya1, @dkimathi5, @bar_rack, @melshakzedeck, @vangeorgh and everyone else who helped moderate. Your time and energy made this space valuable. X is shutting down all Communities on May 30. Our dedicated space is ending โ€” but the mission is not. I will continue posting practical Mjengo threads, project spotlights, design discussions, and hard-won lessons on my main timeline (@dnahinga @PoDCityKE and @Ujenzibora ). If youโ€™ve enjoyed the conversations, just keep following there โ€” the dialogue continues in public. I encourage you to continue learning from one another and build connections you can lean on in future. I have made great contacts here and we shall continue to do so in the coming days. Be a good player and always pay it forward. When doors open for you, do not forget one another. You are in the same boat For those who want a quieter, more direct connection (occasional high-value insights tied to actual PoDCity projects, site realities, and design tools), you may Join Mjengo Elimu XChat. X limits this to 350 People. Join Here x.com/i/xchat_group_join/g19โ€ฆ Low-volume. High-signal. No spam. Just the best of what weโ€™ve learned โ€” and what weโ€™re building next. Thank you all for the last three years. The journey toward faster, cheaper, more accurate Kenyan construction continues โ€” now with a direct line for those ready to go deeper. See you on the timeline and (for those who join) in the inbox. โ€” Sacrinos / Mjengo Hub

Major cheat code in life: A decision made fast and corrected later beats a perfect decision made too late. Most people overthink because they're scared of being wrong. The people who move fastest aren't smarter. They're just less afraid of adjusting. Decide. Then adjust.

As you may have known, the first 24 tons of South African apple under #ZeroTariffPolicy arrived in Shenzhen on 1 May. I was able to buy some of them from a supermarket in Beijing today. Delicious!
