  WALE KUKU: TOUCHING LIVES. CREATING WEALTH. BUILDING IMPACT . A journey witnessed from the inside. I have watched Wale Kuku for many years, and my story is not that of someone observing from a distance. In 2015, I was a member of the Ijebu Youth group within the PDP. I witnessed firsthand the youth mobilisation around Wale Kuku and his role in organising young people. I remember his mobilisation for the Goodluck Jonathan campaign in Abeokuta in 2015. From my recollection, more than 5,000 young people were mobilised to the stadium. What stayed with me was not just the turnout, but the way he handled the people he mobilised. The money meant for the youths reached them, and, from what I witnessed, he made sure the people received what was due to them. That was Wale Kuku then . But what interests me even more is what he did afterwards. HE STARTED BUILDING In 2019, I joined the Ijebu Youth movement, which later evolved into New Generation . I have remained a floor member of that movem...

  Three Countries in East Africa where it snows  When people think of snow, Africa may not be the first continent that comes to mind. However, some of East Africa’s highest mountains have snow, glaciers and ice despite being close to the Equator. Here are three East African countries where you can find snow at high elevations. 1. Tanzania Tanzania is home to Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain at 5,895 metres. The mountain’s summit is covered by snow and ice despite its location close to the Equator.  Tanzania’s national parks authority says the Kibo peak, the highest point of Kilimanjaro, is covered by snow throughout the year.  Mount Kilimanjaro is also one of Africa’s most famous natural landmarks, rising dramatically above the surrounding savannah. 2. Kenya Kenya is home to Mount Kenya, Africa’s second-highest mountain at 5,199 metres. The mountain straddles the Equator and has glacier-covered summits. UNESCO says Mount Kenya has 12 remnant glaciers, alt...

UN adopts African proposal for new world map showing countries’ true sizes. The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has adopted an African proposal for a new world map which shows countries’ true sizes relative to one another. The resolution, passed on Friday, seeks to give an “equitable” representation of the world’s regions, particularly Africa. According to the resolution, the distortions in the current world map have resulted in the continent’s “symbolic minimization” in people’s collective imagination. The resolution was adopted with 164 countries voting in favour, six abstaining, and only the United States voting against it. The countries that abstained were Ukraine, Estonia, Lithuania, Georgia, Moldova, and Serbia. At present, many of the world’s maps are based on the Mercator projection, created by European cartographer Gerardus Mercator in 1569 to aid navigation at sea. Mercator initially made globes before transferring his map from a three-dimensional curved surface to a f...
