I met again with the IGP tonight. Our determination to reform the police should never be in doubt. I am being briefed regularly on the reform efforts ongoing to end police brutality and unethical conduct, and ensure that the Police are fully accountable to the people.

The Senegalese government has blocked internet access to the Senegalese people. This is a violation of human rights and an attempt to silence dissent.

In many regions where you will have few who are able to afford or have USD payment limitations, this will create a situation where the only accounts that will be recommended will be in US/Europe. They will miss out of local, relevant accounts from their own communities.
Thanks to

for challenging how ‘African’ Jumia is.
Jumia CEO: We have over 5000 employees in Africa
CNBC: Yes but they work in warehouses. Your engineers are in Portugal
A Zoom meeting uses 540 MB to 1.62 GB of data per hour.
In Africa, median price for 1 GB is $7.04 w/ some higher than $20 per GB.

Jumia shut down its Cameroon operations this morning, firing its entire staff, no public announcement, no special word from the group or its CEO. The brutality of the news to the staff echoes their management style and is, I believe, one of the reasons for its demise.
Mobile money est juste un mode de paiement.
Il n'y pas de taxe si je paye par chèque.
Pas de taxe si je paye par cash.
Il n'y a pas de taxe si je paye par virement bancaire.

The new German and Canadian immigration initiatives for skilled workers will decimate our local tech talent pools if our governments don't immediately take action to improve the conditions in country. Recovering from this could take generations.
Macky Sall is such a disappointment! I hope the West will denounce this coup with the same force as it did with its neighbors. A constitutional coup is still a coup.
Courage aux frères sénégalais! 👊🏽
Vous vous énervez pourquoi? C’est un sujet de société. On doit en parler. Si une femme décide de dépenser des sommes importantes pour s’entretenir c’est pour son propre bien être. Quand on facture un homme pour une relation, c’est la commercialiser. Ça s’appelle la prostitution.

What a disgraceful depiction of both Black women. One to show as a crazed animal the other to show as ‘pure as a blond white girl.” This is so offensive!
Can you imagine being charged a tax to withdraw your own cash out of your account?
For millions of Cameroonians who hold their money in mobile money wallets, this became a reality on Jan.1.
This tax is regressive and will slow financial inclusion

African politicians always sound so impressive when speaking in international forums. Then you look at the reality in their countries and you wonder what went wrong.
Nigeria, you have a serious problem on your hands. In less than one week:
- Fraudster 'Forbes CEO' arrested
- Jumia fraud blamed on Nigerians
- 80 person indictment for fraud in L.A.
Remember our Cameroon former minister who, although in detention, showed up during his corruption trial court drinking champagne?
Well, he was convicted yesterday to 30 years in prison. Now it's my turn to go and sip a little 🥂
Learning about the incredibly inspiring entrepreneurial journey of the Shea Moisture founders. Mother and son, from Liberia and Sierra Leone to the streets of Harlem, to $850 million! Wow!
They put back into the community by keeping over 20,000 African women in their supply…
You want me to fly across the world to speak at your PAID commercial conference but not only are you not paying me but you expect me to cover all my travel expenses.
