A self-taught Irish schoolteacher wrote a book in 1854 that almost nobody read for 80 years, until a 21-year-old MIT student picked it up and realized it could be used to design every computer in human history. His name was George Boole. The book is called An Investigation of the Laws of Thought. Boole was born in 1815 in Lincoln, England. His family was poor. He left school at 16 to support them. He taught himself Latin, Greek, French, German, and Italian. Then he taught himself mathematics. By 19 he had opened his own school. By 24 he was publishing original papers in the Cambridge Mathematical Journal, competing with men who had spent decades inside the best universities in Britain. He never had a degree. He never had a mentor. In 1849, Queen's College in Cork hired him as a professor anyway. In 1854, he published his masterwork. What he built inside it was something nobody had attempted before at this scale. He turned logic into algebra. Before Boole, logic was philosophy. You argued in sentences. You reasoned in paragraphs. It was powerful and completely impossible to automate, because there was no formal system underneath it, just language. Boole stripped it down to arithmetic. He showed that every act of human reasoning could be reduced to operations on two values. True or false. One or zero. AND, OR, NOT. If both conditions are true, the result is true. If neither is, the result is false. Every judgment a human mind makes, every decision, every deduction, could be written as an equation following those rules. Logicians read it. They found it interesting. Engineers building machines had never heard of it. For 83 years, the book sat there. Then in 1937, a 21-year-old MIT master's student named Claude Shannon was working on a thesis about electrical relay circuits. Switches that could be open or closed. Current that either flowed or didn't. He read Boole and understood something nobody had connected before. An open switch is a zero. A closed switch is a one. A circuit with two switches in series only carries current when both are closed. That is AND. A circuit with two switches in parallel carries current when either is closed. That is OR. Shannon proved that every possible logical relationship Boole had described could be physically built using wire and switches. That single insight is the foundation of every computer ever made. After Shannon, chip designers stopped thinking about electricity and started thinking about logic. Every transistor on every processor running right now is implementing a Boolean operation. Every if-statement in every codebase is Boolean logic. Every database query using AND or OR. Every neural network threshold that fires or doesn't fire. All of it is running the algebra of a self-taught schoolteacher from Lincoln who died 160 years ago. The strangest part is what happened to Boole at the end. He was walking to class in November 1864 when he got caught in a rainstorm. He lectured for hours in wet clothes. He went home sick. His wife, Mary, believed in homeopathic medicine and thought the cure should mirror the cause. She wrapped him in wet sheets and poured cold water over him repeatedly. He died a few days later. He was 49. He never saw a transistor. He never saw a circuit. He never saw a single physical machine run a single one of his rules. His book is in the public domain. Free to download. Most engineers use the word Boolean dozens of times a week. Almost none of them know who they are saying. The man whose logic runs inside every phone, every server, and every AI model on Earth died soaking wet in a small Irish town, 83 years before anyone figured out what he had actually built.

Lasers are used in barcode scanners in shops, in surgical equipment in hospitals, in office equipment such as laser printers, in DVD players and lighting displays at concerts, and for cutting and welding industrial materials in factories.

Emeritus Professor Femi Osofisan (NNOM) at 80: The Playwright Who Turned the Stage Into a Weapon for Justice ㅤ When Babafemi Osofisan arrived at the Sorbonne in the 1970s, he wanted to study African drama. He was told it wasn't a serious subject. ㅤ Rather than change his topic, he walked away. ㅤ He returned to Nigeria, earned a PhD in African drama, and spent the next five decades becoming one of the continent's most celebrated playwrights, scholars, and cultural critics. ㅤ On June 16, Professor Femi Osofisan turns 80. ㅤ His story is a reminder that sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is refuse to let others decide what matters. ㅤ Read the full story here: bit.ly/osofisan ㅤ What would African literature look like today if he had accepted that first "no"? ㅤ @UniIbadan

Chinua Achebe took the English Language and fooled readers into thinking that the characters in his books are speaking Igbo. Reading Things Fall Apart, the reader would be forgiven for thinking that Achebe was writing in Igbo. The man was a genius. READ: jaladaafrica.org/2015/09/15/…

Showman from the diaspora. Today in 1930, Trinidad-born aviator and self-promoter Hubert Julian, who became the first black parachutist when he jumped out of a plane in 1923 while performing a song on a gold-plated saxophone, arrived in Addis-Ababa. He announced that Emperor Haile Selassie had made him head of the Ethiopian Air Force. However, after he crashed Selassie’s favorite plane – one of only three planes the air force owned – he was asked to leave the country.

Lumumba: Africa’s Lost Leader by Leo Zeilig The book charts Lumumba’s fast transition from a localized Congolese nationalist working as a postal clerk into a revolutionary Pan-African leader. Zeilig analyzes how the Congo's fight for independence became a proxy battleground for the United States and the Soviet Union, impacting post-1945 global decolonization. The narrative highlights the direct and indirect involvement of Western intelligence agencies, specifically Belgian and American actors, in plotting Lumumba’s 1961 execution. It explores how Lumumba's martyrdom transformed him into an enduring international symbol of anti-imperialist resistance alongside figures like Che Guevara. nuriakenya.com/product/lumum… KShs3,500.00
