Anyone who knows me knows this is my favourite photo.
President Frederick Titus Jacob Chiluba leaned in, I stood tall, and my mother watched as power shook hands.
It was one of those fully parent driven events. I just knew my mum was excited that the Zambian president was coming to Kenya. This was in the early 1990s, not long after Chiluba had succeeded Kenneth Kaunda. At that time he represented hope, a fresh chapter for Zambia after nearly three decades of one party rule. For Zambians living in Nairobi it was a moment of pride, a chance to meet the new leader who carried so much promise. My mum, working at the British Council, insisted I be there. She had come to Kenya for further studies, met my dad, and built a life here, but her roots and her pride in Zambia’s future carried her to the airport that day with me in tow.
I did not grasp the gravity. I was just a child being taken to meet a visiting head of state. Yet today, when I look back, I see more. I see posture, symbolism, and history in a single frame. Chiluba leans forward, extending authority. I stand upright, unintimidated, hand outstretched. My mum looks on, smiling, the bridge between heritage, identity, and a moment of recognition.
This photo reminds me that we rarely understand the weight of moments while we are in them. Their meaning unfolds years later when life teaches us how to see.
For my mother, this was pride. For me, it became perspective. Power bends, youth rises, and the witness in the background holds both stories together.
Sometimes leadership is exactly that: recognising when to lean in, when to stand tall, and when to simply bear witness so that others can remember.

Who is behind @BoardLotSultan? Their content is so good I feel like sending them mobile money haha
It's the third time I share an article to my colleagues telling them to sit tight and grab popcorn....
Well done!

- Spent months chasing Ashworth, paid compensation to get him, then sacked him just 4 months later.
- Extended Ten Hag’s contract, only to sack him 3 months later.
- Appointed Amorim, a back three coach to manage a squad built for a back four, then sacked him 10 months later.
- Gave Carrick the permanent job after his successful interim spell, only to most likely sack him by the end of this month.
NO VISION. NO PROJECT. NO IDEA. INEOS ARE WORSE THAN THE GLAZERS.
United fans hold the only lever that reaches the Glazers and INEOS: revenue. No merchandise, no home games, until the owners feel it on the balance sheet. But they won’t do it. Twenty years of protests, green and gold, walkouts, and the season tickets still renew. A boycott that never materialises is consent. If you keep funding the ownership, stop calling yourself the resistance. You are the revenue line that keeps them here.
Manchester United deserved this beating.
The warning signs have been there since the Hull game. Poor work rate, dreadful team shape and a lack of intensity have gone unaddressed for weeks.
Jason Wilcox needed to intervene and didn't. Michael Carrick must now be relieved of his duties. But let's not pretend another managerial change fixes everything. The entire football club is broken.
Perhaps this defeat will finally convince supporters that real change requires more than complaints. Stop financially supporting the Glazers. Boycott. Demand accountability.

One of the things about great managers is the see the sack coming weeks before it happens so they start advertising for their next job. They go after the board, the players, the owners etc to make sure future potential employees don’t blame it all on them. Carrick’s inexperience and decency is going to result in his reputation being torched because his bosses hung him out to dry.

Bingo!
No new manager can fix this poison, you’ll be tricked into thinking we’re on the right path but it’s always temporary, the negligence at the top is passed down to what you’re seeing on the pitch and I firmly believe that is the negative ethos that has been entrenched in this football club.
I’ve said this quite often over the years when we go through these deliberately engineered low periods but I’m very lucky I got to witness this club at the peak of it’s powers, god bless some of the younger fans who have had to put up with this shit for years.
Bingo!
Real talk 🗣️
Manchester United’s owners have given Michael Carrick no chance this season.
How can a club the size of Man Utd’s go into a Champions League season without investing in the back four and with one recognised striker.
Arsenal have the best defence in Europe and still invested heavily in the summer to strengthen.
It’s doesn’t matter who the manager is at United, while INEOS and the Glazers are running the club into the ground.
Bingo!
Like many of you, I will be a Utd fan ‘till I die, I’m in it for life no matter what but right now there is nothing pleasurable about watching Utd. Everything that made them great is almost gone, all that remains is the shirt and the stadium but now it’s a business that happens to play football, a company football team. Utd’s biggest strength is its greatest weakness, a club that could print money inevitably attracted parasitic scum and parasites never leave until there’s nothing left to take. An aimless vessel taking on water and a new captain won’t change a thing

Emotional take. Game is lost. Might as well play the youngsters. Some of these so-called fans seem to be new to United.
Dean N Onyambu retweeted
If Carrick pays for this with his job and not Wilcox then it’s a disgrace. Carrick got Utd in to the Champions League, Wilcox made sure we got knocked out of it.

Every season we find new theories.
Bottom line: Every coach who comes to United will eventually fail. The problem is lack of support from the ownership. It is really quite simple.
Dean N Onyambu retweeted
It is. Carrick will lose his job tomorrow. Conte will be appointed. He will get a bounce. We will even rescue the season emphatically.
Then like every other decent coach we have employed since Sir Alex, he will not get the support he needs from the owners, and then he will fk off or get fired, and the cycle will repeat.
It is not the coaches. It is the ownership!

Numerous companies have been sold to international groups rather than locals because we lacked capacity.
It’s time to start building that capacity and putting ourselves in a position to be owners of this economy. This is a small step, but an important one in that direction

Here in zambia, pensioners are still oblivious as to what necessitated @yournapsa to buy in macopolo tiles of wonderful group.
Upto now, only a single dividend has been paid to Napsa.

🚨IT'S OFFICIAL: 🇺🇸 The GENIUS Act [Stablecoins] will be implemented into the traditional financial system.
The CLARITY Act is the NEXT STEP because the GENIUS Act is INEFFECTIVE without the CLARITY Act.
THE GOLDEN AGE IS UPON US! 👏👀
Dean N Onyambu retweeted
The GENIUS Act marks a watershed moment in American finance, further cementing the United States as the crypto capital of the world. Just as President Abraham Lincoln’s National Currency Act of 1863 established a national framework for bank-issued currency, the GENIUS Act establishes a federal framework for payment stablecoins in the digital age.
The @USOCC's final rule carries that landmark legislation forward, providing a clear, practical foundation for private-sector innovation, competition, and American leadership in digital assets.
