My name is Boniface Mwangi, and l turn 40 today. I want to celebrate this milestone with Gandhi Muturi, a 27-year-old photographer, activist, and motorcycle rider who was involved in a life-changing accident last year. On 14th October 2022, while riding home, Gandhi was involved in a road crash barely 500 metres from his home. He suffered severe damage to his spine (eight fractures), leading to loss of motor, and sensory functions, as well as multiple fractures on his right leg and left arm. Over the past nine (9) months, Gandhi has waged a very brave fight for his dear life. He spent almost two months in the HDU at Coptic Hospital with multiple organ failure. He has shown great resilience and a strong spirit. He battled with pneumonia; failing kidneys, heart, liver, and lungs; low levels of oxygen, heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature. He has confronted his condition with resilience, and hope for recovery, despite the various blood and bone infections he experiences now and then. Gandhi reminds me of my younger self, carefree, adventurous, and a go-getter. He needs a lot of support, and I’m asking you to chip in to support his medical care. His treatment is gradual and expensive. Gandhi’s mother, Naomi Barasa, is a comrade in the struggle. She was awarded The Sir Henry Brooke Award for Human Rights Defenders in 2018. Her impact on human rights in Kenya is undeniable. She was instrumental in the enactment of the Sexual Offences Act in 2006, the adoption of the Housing Bill 2011, the Evictions and Resettlement Bill, and the Slum Upgrading, and Prevention Policy. She also played a role in the push for the Kenyan Constitution in 2010. My family, and l shall climb Mount Kenya in August. We shall be doing so to celebrate Gandhi’s resilience, and his journey to recovery. The climb is open to anyone who is willing to join us. All the money raised in this campaign will go to Gandhi’s medical care. Donate here: PAYBILL: 891300 ACCOUNT: 72985 #UniteForGandhi

Fat Joe (Joseph Antonio Cartagena) is a Black Latino man of Puerto Rican and Cuban descent whose African ancestry, Bronx upbringing, and lifelong immersion in hip-hop culture make him an authentic representative of Black culture within the genre‼️. He has repeatedly affirmed this identity, including in conversations with Charlamagne tha God, and his body of work demonstrates concrete contributions that helped shape and expand hip-hop‼️. Puerto Rican and Cuban populations have significant African ancestry from the transatlantic slave trade; genetic studies and historical records show substantial West African admixture in both groups‼️. Fat Joe has publicly discussed his roots in these terms‼️. In appearances and discussions with Charlamagne (including Breakfast Club and related platforms), he has spoken about growing up in the South Bronx as a product of that mixed heritage‼️emphasizing the Black and Latino realities of the neighborhood that produced early hip-hop‼️. He has rejected attempts to erase the African component of his background, framing his origin as inseparable from the same street, cultural, and musical environment that Black Americans and Afro-Latinos shared in New York‼️. This is not performative; it aligns with how many Afro-Puerto Ricans and Afro-Cubans understand their identity: Black by blood and experience while also Latino by language, family, and nationality‼️. Hip-hop was born in the Bronx among Black and Puerto Rican youth‼️. Fat Joe came of age in that exact milieu in the 1980s–90s‼️. He did not enter the culture as an outsider; he was formed by it‼️block parties, battles, the same parks and projects that produced the foundational generation‼️. His accent, slang, fashion, swagger, and lyrical references have always been those of Bronx street culture, which is Black American at its core with heavy Afro-Latino participation‼️. He has consistently centered that shared experience rather than distancing himself from it‼️. Claiming otherwise ignores both genetics and the lived history of the genre’s birthplace‼️. Concrete Contributions to Hip-Hop Artist and label builder⁉️: As a solo artist and founder of Terror Squad, he gave platforms to artists (including Big Pun, who was also Puerto Rican with African ancestry) and helped keep hardcore East Coast street rap commercially viable in the late ’90s and early 2000s‼️. Hits that crossed over while staying rooted: “Lean Back,” “What’s Luv⁉️” (with Ashanti), “Make It Rain,” and collaborations with artists across the spectrum moved units and radio while retaining the aggressive, street-oriented sound associated with Black hip-hop of the era‼️. Cultural bridge without dilution⁉️: He brought Latino presence into mainstream hip-hop conversations without soft-pedaling the genre’s Black foundations‼️. His work with producers, rappers, and DJs from the core hip-hop community reinforced rather than diluted the culture‼️. Decades of consistent output, features, and public advocacy for the art form have kept him an active elder statesman who still speaks the language of the streets that created hip-hop‼️. When Fat Joe discusses his origins with Charlamagne, he is describing the same Bronx Black/Latino continuum that produced hip-hop itself‼️. His African ancestry is real, his cultural formation is real, and his contributions are measurable in records sold, artists launched, and the continued visibility of that New York street sound‼️. Attempts to separate him from Black culture require ignoring both genetics and the actual history of the genre he helped carry forward‼️.

When sitting MP Will Fowles smashed through a Canberra hotel door in 2019, during what he later described as a period of drug and alcohol addiction, he was given taxpayer-funded leave to recover. Three years later, Labor endorsed him to run again, and he won Ringwood. Compare that with Warren Pickering, who has admitted to and apologised for drug use as a young man - well before he turned his life around, raised his family and served his country. People should not be defined forever by mistakes they have taken responsibility for and worked to overcome. The key distinction between the two cases is that Fowles’ conduct occurred while he was already in office, whereas Pickering’s predates his entire political involvement by nearly 20 years. There has also been far too little weight given in subsequent reporting to the testimony of Pickering’s children, who have strongly defended their father and described his ex-partner as a “narcissistic liar”. The fact that she continues to be elevated by some journalists as a reliable source to fuel further negative coverage is deeply disappointing, particularly given the impact this is now having on the children, who say their father protected and supported them. There is also a clear double standard in the way the two stories have been treated. Fowles’ conduct while in office was ultimately absorbed by his party and, three years later, by the electorate. Pickering’s much older history, meanwhile, is being treated in parts of the media as though it should be disqualifying. Voters did not appear to concerned by Fowles’ conduct in office when they returned him to Parliament, and I suspect it will be much the same with those already voting for Pickering and One Nation Australia. I joined Prue MacSween and Rita Panahi on News24 Australia to discuss the coverage. #SpringSt

My dear friends and loved ones, my cousin Ahmed Sallam was trying to retrieve some clothes and belongings for the family of my uncle Baha, who was martyred last week.. While he was trying to extract some items, he found this poor cat from under the rubble. So he postponed searching for the items in order to save this poor cat... It is my pleasure to help Ahmed save him. It is a source of pride and honor for me. Ahmed and I went to the vet immediately. The cat's condition was diagnosed.. He is suffering from burns as a result of the bombing, especially in the head area. There is also a shrapnel from the head area next to the ear that penetrated the area and caused a deep wound that reached the skull bone and caused damage to the surrounding tissues, but the skull is not broken. The burns and wounds were cleaned, and he was given intravenous replacement solutions and intensive treatments, as well as treatment for the right eye due to its inflammation. It was decided to perform a surgical operation to remove the left eye, which was lost in the incident, and to amputate the tip of the tail due to its exposure to the burn and the protrusion of its bony end.. But the vet will perform his first surgery tomorrow. The vet told us to refrain from eating or drinking anything tonight and to bring him in tomorrow morning for his first surgery, which will be to remove the shrapnel from his head... This cat is a victim of this war. As usual, innocent people pay the price for the filthy actions of humans.. My dear friends and family, Ahmed and I will do everything we can to save this cat. I would be very grateful for Ahmed's support on his PayPal account.. Any bit is appreciated... any bit is help I will be with Ahmed every step of the way until the cat makes a full recovery. We will both keep you updated. I appreciate your support, and I'm grateful, my friends.

BENIN CITY, EDO: Yesterday, Naija Confra reported on the case of the Maphite (GCAI) Vice President, Elvis, who many also referred to as Evans or Osagie, and who has been accused of k**ling his wife, Osas. Today, we obtained a video from ITV News showing the narrative of Osas’s family. This narrative aligns with our earlier report which was confirmed by Maphite members and some friends. Let it be clear that at no point in our report did we say that the Maphite Vice President k**led his wife (read our last report carefully). We used words such as “accused” and “properly charged if found guilty.” What we only confirmed was that he was a serious wife be@ter, which was consistently stated by everyone we spoke to. We also confirmed that he is a cultist and the Vice President (overall number 2 man) of the Maphite (GCAI) cult group, and that members of his group thre@tened the victim’s family. These are the details we confirmed and are not allegations. As stated in our previous report, the husband alleged that his wife woke up at night, screamed, and later suffered a heart att@ck that led to her de@th. He maintains that he did not k**l her. There are also reports that he is willing to allow an autopsy to be carried out on his late wife’s body. While the husband has been described as a wife be@ter who regularly ass@ulted his wife, it is also important to note that some sources claim he was rich, and financially supported her and took care of her needs. There are also claims that the marriage was toxic, with both parties having their faults. Naija Confra will provide further updates after the autopsy is conducted and investigations are concluded.
