"Burna Boy didn't stéâl anything from Americans, instead, Americans stôle from him. Americans always draw inspiration from Africans." Steve Harvey

"Africans are the kindest and most sincere people I've ever been around. When you go to Africa, you've gotta go to Ghana first, then you need to go to Botswana because Botswana is the second richest diamond producer in the world. Then you've gotta go to Johannesburg and then once you see that, you'll understand who we are. Africans didn't stéâl anything from Americans but we stôle from them. They keep saying Burna Boy stôle from Americans but the truth is, Americans stôle from Burna Boy. Africans have got the beats, rhythm, soul, and hardwork. We Americans draw inspiration from Africans cuz they've got it all." Steve Harvey

American actor, Steve Harvey reveals. The truth is, Africa has got everything but we don't just value what we have 🤦

When Joyce Banda became Prèsident of Malawi, she sold off the country’s only Presidential Jet and a fleet of 60 Mercedes Limousines and invested the money in some projects. 🇲🇼

She preferred, instead, to use private airlines for official engagements. Banda also cut her annual salary from £37,000 to £26,000.

Joyce Banda served as vice president (2009–2012) and president (2012–2014) of Malawi. She was the first woman to serve as head of state anywhere in Southern Africa.

Banda’s official government profile states that she obtained a bachelor’s degree from Atlantic International University, an online university based in the United States. During her first marriage to Roy Kachale, she lived in Nairobi, where she became active in the women’s movement.

Her personal experience in an abusive marriage shaped her evolving career in grassroots activism and politics, as did her subsequent marriage to Richard Banda, a barrister would who would later serve as chief justice of Malawi (1992–2002) and whom she credited as being supportive of her efforts. Before focusing on politics, Joyce Banda founded and directed various businesses and organizations, including a garment-manufacturing business, a bakery, the National Association of Business Women of Malawi, and the Joyce Banda Foundation, an organization dedicated to rural development and improving the lives of women and children.

In 2007, Drogba ended a 5 yr civil war in Cote d'Ivoire by scoring a goal that helped Ivory Coast beat Madagascar.

He asked that the game be played in Bouake, a rebel stronghold, then got on his knees & pleaded with rebels to drop their arms & they did.

Unparalleled influence.
