Added: 2026-05-13

[00:00:00]What does daddy watch every morning?

[00:00:04]>> What is Eon?

[00:00:07]>> News about Kenya.

[00:00:09]>> Oh, daddy watches it every day.

[00:00:12]So the Africa Forward Summit and um it was a very interesting one because a lot of African leaders ended up attending and I keep talking about one guy who I did not expect to attend of course uh the president of Sagal but he ended up attending and the reason why I didn't expect him to attend was the fact that Macron Alana attend and the two of them have like a sort of what can I like interesting history where they've not always gotten along in the way they should. Why?

[00:00:48]campaign like one of the things military presence the French military inside and he said that they'd have to move out that makes him not feel like sagal is a sovereign country and you have to remember like for some time according to African countries fully sovereign we can be recolonized and we can be recolonized because we do not have the military like power to defend ourselves.

[00:01:19]But now on top of that, try and imagine if there's a base like going to happen in Iran where America had bases in uh what is it called like in these Middle Eastern countries and they'd attack Iran from there. So now try and imagine if they have a military base in your own country, they can attack you from your own country. So that's one of the things was not happy with and I think July 2025 the last like French military facility closed down and they handed over the facility themselves of course.

[00:01:58]So that happened and still acknowledge massacre the the massacre. Yes, the the Roy massacre happened in 1944 and basically what happened French colonial troops may kill hundreds of West African soldiers going to demand their pay.

[00:02:26]we'd rather like acknowledge that the massacre happened and apart from that if they can release all the documents that show how the massacre happened and how it was covered up and all that Macron was able to do was just to acknowledge the massacre but he never went past that.

[00:02:51]still another reason why Monday post when I was talking I specifically singled out five and these were things that I was like ah five would never and the euro and still backed the French treasury and according to FI that makes them somehow not sovereign.

[00:03:23]That's one of the things that they're going to get rid of going to get rid of. So fine like okay of course they're still working on that but with that it all goes back to like diplomacy where when you're on the outside you can say a lot of stuff but sometimes when you enter there uh because that the fact that your country does not operate in a vacuum you have to be able to give and take so far of course able to get the military out able to make them admit masaka still insisting on they release the files which they've not released and then still insisting on leaving the CFA Frank the CFA Frank which they've not done but you see he can't do a rational like uh he can't do a drastic like I'mma take some drastic measures to enforce that cuz with that they can be able to uh like destroy the sagal economy so yeah that's one of the reasons So Dumaboko on the other side president Botswana and Dumaboko to me is a very interesting person just from the fact that he's one of the most highly educated presidents in Africa at Harvard and one of the things I think it's not about titles so I remember your excellency this like I'm a servant of the people and I'm here to serve the people. So Botswana first and Botswana it's one of those countries that's very different from us as Kenya. Look at the way our elections are divisive tribal what Botswana does not play that They're very open. They're very honest like during elections do all that nons.

[00:05:22]They believe in democracy and this was the first time that the ruling party especially the youth were looking at him as this guy who's going to transform their country. So I'm talking about this because I don't know if it's white supremacy and but there's one thing that has happened to us as Africans.

[00:05:48]So every time there's a certain meeting like whatever happened where there were 30 African leaders and there was one French leader a lot of us will assume that the Africans had to submit and it's something that's ingrained in us and there's a certain level of inferiority complex that we have that we'll never acknowledge. This is the reason why drive around Katyattow and you look at a matu and the matu has a white image of Christ you'll never question it. Why?

[00:06:18]Because taught that you're less than.

[00:06:21]And this is the reason why eventually some people open they open and they become paranoid. They open and they become paranoid that a simple issue as there's a conference and people are making noise and some white dude stands to say people should not make noise. Oh, you're disrespecting us.

[00:06:43]Cuz now you see, you've just opened your eyes and you've realized like, you know what? I have a white god. I have a white savior. I have a white water. I have a white that's why the white savior syndrome where you'll see all these white people that come to the slums to save people. So be that in mind, the dumabukos of this world are intelligent people.

[00:07:08]fighting fighting the French government front line fighting the more than CC and he decided to attend this uh like summit and I'd want to believe that all African leaders are dumb but I don't I'd want to believe that Macron trusts Macron more than I trust but I would deals with this guy. And so that's one of one of the reasons why I decided to approach this whole thing, the Africa Forward Summit. I decided to approach it and just listen and see like which ideas were being exchanged and what was being said. And I'd say that it was a very interesting uh speech. But one of the things that stood out of course was the youth and the fact that was not that was uh Dumaboko was being asked about the youth and if he has a message for the youth and if you've heard me talk about this I always have a problem with your story. Do you have a message for the youth? Cuz that's what makes the youth uh be treated like children. This is what makes these Kenyan leaders to be able to wake up and be like and they treat adults like children and these children end up believing that they're children and they end up now believing in dumb where if a president speaks in sh if the president dances oh if a governor does this go oh he relates to us and they're left in this cycle where they behave like children and without behavior children they also want participation trophies and they want to always be coddled and told what they want to hear and we don't then tell don't tell them what they want to hear they start throwing tantrums and um I think we need to move away from that we need to reach a level I always joke with my kid um I turn 11 last week I always joke with her do you know in 7 years time at exactly 1:15 15 a.m. you're going to be 18 years old and you're going to move out cuz you're going to be an adult. And when she hears that she loses a joke, but one of the things why I keep putting that in her mind is I want by the time 18 he realize she's an adult.

[00:09:42]She's still my kid, but she's an adult.

[00:09:44]I want her to behave like an adult. I don't want her to start trusting someone because I'm dance. I'm do the newest challenge cuz that's childish. And I don't even want them to be a place the youth problem. I want them to approach life like you know right now I'm an adult and I need to reason like an adult. I need this, I need that. I don't want to be treated like a child.

[00:10:09]And uh so yeah, but Dumaboko alco asked about uh history of the African youth problem and I think he answered it in the most political way possible but still in a very reasonable way.

[00:10:22]>> Mr. President, one word for Africa's youth.

[00:10:24]>> They have been told over the years that they were leaders of tomorrow.

[00:10:31]The challenge is that that tomorrow never seemed to come.

[00:10:35]I think we must now appreciate that our youth are leaders of the now and the future.

[00:10:42]They have boundless energy. They have limitless skill. The skill, the talent is amazing in its abundance and variety.

[00:10:55]>> The youth have always been told that the the leaders of tomorrow and uh yeah, but the time is now. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. Um so yeah you have to grab and you have to grab your moment right now but maybe only two African leaders which other leaders showed up of course that's from Nigeria a clown so Paul Kagame with Kagami I'm always conflicted one side I understand what he's trying to do and what he's trying to achieve I can see the amount of order that he's brought to Rwanda. My problem with Kagami is always I always wish he had a thicker skin and with that he does not need to throw everyone in jail that criticizes him. if there was a way he could handle that and if he throws them in jail I'd want a situation whereby if they leave the country does not follow them up the situation where they even tricked some like lecturer Rwanda and he stayed in prison for 5 years and the US government had to pressure Rwanda to release him. Those are the things that I have a problem with Kagami. But I understand, do I think that he's doing some good stuff?

[00:12:17]Yes, he's doing some good stuff. If there was a way he could balance that out, maybe maybe he's trying the Singapore way cuz remember the Singapore way.

[00:12:30]Yes. Yes.

[00:12:32]He was sort of a dictator. Then eventually when he taken the country to the level that he wanted, he ended up now bringing democracy. I don't know if that's what that dude is trying to do. I don't know. Um, who else was there? Who else was there? H so Liberia, can't remember that dude Leon Alanara of course super clown um was rigged out and after being rigged out he refused to handshake and the country went into basically civil war. Bagbo.

[00:13:07]Eventually, Bagbo had to step down, but then this fool decided to change the constitution. So, I guess Bagbo was even better than this a-hole. Um then of course from Congo Egypt Africa has always had these clowns. So, so there was that and uh then of course the Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Republic of Congo which is basically just Congo, Djibouti, Comos, Moritania, uh Gabon, Central African Republic, all these presidents were there. Then Pia and Prince and Principe, Libya, Libya, of course, Silon, the president of the presidential council. Libya has never gone back to what it was after Kagami's death. And uh Kagami's death is one of the stories that also teach us that democracy is not always the solution. Um and when we are wrong, we wrong.

[00:14:24]I hopefully live till he passed away and I saw what happened to Libya and I was like damn I've never been so wrong. I was super wrong on that. Especially when I saw black people you were enslaved in that country. Damn, man. That that Yeah.

[00:14:52]King Aluja Ethiopia Prime Minister Abi Ahmed Ali. This dude is doing things that just amaze me, man. He's turning our next door neighbor into a first world country without even announcing it. Ruto is busy dumping his chest Kenya into a first world country. A B is doing that without dumping his chest. He started with Adisaba. Um, Nairobi would be much harder to do, but it's doable. It's doable cuz I always say if you can use unpopularity to bring a lot of change, but people don't see that. Like Sakaja, if he decided to do something about Nairobi, he could do something about Nairobi.

[00:15:34]Why? Cuz he's basically not coming back.

[00:15:37]Nairobi, no one comes back. So what should he do? Take this few to do such amazing things. by the time the next guy but he's not so Morocco head of government's prime minister then Africa the one that against their prime vice president and vice president.

[00:16:12]So yes, those were the guys in attendance and uh of course who was the host? The host had to be R. So R yesterday ended up doing a speech and uh his speech was very what can I say man?

[00:16:26]It's just one of those speeches that this dude always knows what to say.

[00:16:31]That's one of the things that you have to give him credit for. He knows what to say.

[00:16:36]alignment.

[00:16:37]>> He speech to heads of state and government who attended the Africa Ford summit at the Kenyat International Convention Center in Nairobi sought to reduce the foreign debt burden which weighs down many African countries.

[00:16:50]President William R started by calling for the establishment of a new African financial architecture and development framework NAFA which he says will align African multilateral financial institutions and private capital behind a coordinated continental investment strategy.

[00:17:14]uh think so yes all those people are in attendance so and then this guy decided to talk about nafad yes what Africa requires today friends is not charity but investment not extraction but value creation not dependency but mutually beneficial partnerships capable of unlocking shared prosper Erity NAFAD according to President R is designed to unlock long-term domestic institutional capital by creating credible project pipelines harmonizing investment frameworks and strengthening regional capital markets. The president touting Kenya's national infrastructure fund which he says is already transforming the country. Our new national infrastructure fund has mobilized approximately $1 billion in the last four months, demonstrating the enormous potential that exists within African economies themselves.

[00:18:21]Demonstring. Okay. Demonstrating. Um, of course, so it means nothing. I'm just pointing it out showing that the dude was nervous. So he could not point out the words. um you come to this thing about $1 billion. H I think the problem and what I've heard from legislators when they talk about the your national infrastructure fund is the fact that hyena like what is it? Uh there's no way to scrutinize it. It's been built outside the frameworks of the things that are in the Kenyan law. So that means that it can be misused. So for him to thump his chest with that is still one of those things where you're like ah you should not be thumping your chest with this.

[00:19:06]But to if I was to go back to the point does Africa need a different way their investments and what yes Africa needs that we need to move away from using very exorbitant and very exploitative terms and that's why Africa needs to wake up and be like you know what we can do this thing our own way and Africa needs to come up with its own way I think like one of the most interesting things last year economy and explain like if China is a capitalist or communist country all the examples that show that it's a capitalist country and then all the examples that show that it's not a a capitalistic that is capitalistic country and uh It's more of a communist country. So, I found that to be interesting and it made me think, what if Africa could come up with its own way? We can't do everything the way that's done in the Western world cuz one of the things that we've realized is it's not working out. We need to come up with our own way. But will we >> the head of state further calling for African solutions to funding infrastructure projects without borrowing? The era in which Africa's development was principally framed through aid, dependency, and unsustainable borrowing must give way to a new paradigm grounded in investment, innovation. President Rut also lamented what he termed an unfair international financial system, saying African countries had faced disproportionately high borrowing costs and constrained access to concessional financing.

[00:20:56]um koshan banks banks will give people who they think will repay the loan at very low rates and they give people who they think high risk at higher rates. Uh that's why like even banks and I think even that happens in Kenya where people who take loans that are unsecured it at a higher rate than people who take loans against something else. So there's that incentive of you paying back the debt.

[00:21:26]So with that why the the rates Africa is looked at because of the corruption African countries lack a certain level of stability cuz an election can happen and the whole country turns into Why? If the leader decides he's not going, he's not going who decided to turn into some So that that happens with African countries where they decide we are going to do uh and one person decides that his interests and his ambitions are greater than the country itself. So yeah I guess that's why Africa itself needs to come up with solutions and maybe through these solutions on if there's an instability of this and this and this country will suffer the consequences. Um but will we do that? I don't think so.

[00:22:22]>> Our objective is simple. To create credible mechanisms through which private capital can participate securely and profitably borrowing and u the funny thing is Kenya keeps borrowing. Remember that's was one of his greatest criticisms ofu was thaturu keeps borrowing. Huru keeps borrowing. Then he may go a chance and he's borrowing every day day and night and spending on What do I mean by Spending on things like repairing state house is spending billions there. State house is uh itself has like this ridiculous budget where um in 3 years it spent more than Uru spent in 9 years. So what's going to happen in the next uh whatever even one and a half years by next year's elections? Is that one and a half? That's 1 year and 3 months. Like what's going to happen by then?

[00:23:30]Europe so that on your first transaction€ 10 cash back on your first transaction 10 cash back your bills.

[00:24:01]Kenya payments for everyone.

[00:24:27]Like if we it's crazy >> in Africa's growth story.

[00:24:34]>> President R sustained calls for Africa to be accorded permanent representation on the security council saying the current system is unfair. The time has come therefore for the international community to recognize without ambiguity or without delay that Africa cannot and will not and must not remain subject to decisions taken without its equal voice on the table. Of course, we come to stories of UN.

[00:25:13]Will we ever get respected? I don't think anyone respects a beggar. And that's what African leaders have turned Africa Africa into. They've turned it into this sort of mockery where we ourselves always excuse the nonsense.

[00:25:30]DRC the richest in minerals but DRC at war is at war because of French and Belgian influence and then you're like at some point you have to reason out they can only influence you if you're ready to be influenced or they'll organize a coup they'll do all this nonsense I keep saying yes at some point western nations could do that but then came look to the east China can help you be able to defend and yourself of course don't forget every country is looking out for his interest of course are they going to benefit from the minerals yes they will but right now is Congo benefiting no it won't so even if you to give China let's say 5% which is a lot cuz it come to Congo Congo is ridiculous they can be able to turn Congo into a first world country in the next 20 years that's how fast they do it and they can be able to make sure that the western countries do not attack but African leaders I don't know man sometimes you have to be superstitious and be like damn are we cast or something have to peace for some time Dubai and Qatar will look like child play because of what Congo has it come to resources but will that ever happen and by DRC I don't know if they have a Congo resources DRC uh by >> this uh agenda for peace and prosperity is something that I truly aspire to.

[00:27:06]>> So of course press conference.

[00:27:30]I don't want to know whatever is happening there. So politics interesting because you always have to lie to a certain level. So the noise that was made yesterday That was on Monday. The noise that was made on Monday because of our inferiority complex to when that noise was being made that noise was made.

[00:28:27]Your biggest interest and the reason why your French firms accepted cancellation of the Ma summit was to get 7 billion shillings without doing anything at all.

[00:28:40]history are cancelceled contracts and uh firms being paid ridiculous amounts of money always happens in this country and it's Um it allows corruption to happen and there's even presently a case we talked about maze was supposed to be supplied the national cereals and produce board and eventually no m was supplied but are still claiming the money. Why?

[00:29:09]because council contracts did what what it's something that we do and it's something that people like were happy for that to happen when they were in power and I'm very consistent and we need to call it out. So us losing 7 billion on a cancelled contract in a third world country it's one of those things that huh Mr. Macron companies in the 7 billion Kenya shieldings theft from the people of Kenya. That is the money you have actually come to negotiate in Nairobi.

[00:29:55]Not the summit that you attending.

[00:30:10]This is a message Kenyans was passing to you yesterday. If you do know why they made noise, now you know.

[00:30:17]>> Okay. The noise that was made was not booing. The noise that was made was actually normal noise where people were talking. I'd have loved it in booing cuz that would have mean that the people were listening and they decided to boo.

[00:30:29]That was not the noise that was made. So this is that um level of dishonesty that people who do not want to scrutinize all going to protest. They're not protesting. People are just talking and then I decided to react.

[00:30:46]>> Kenyans are asking you not to leave our borders with this money. We needed to pay school fees.

[00:30:53]Mr. Mron, if Kenyans meet you elsewhere, they'll make more noise.

[00:30:58]>> Okay. So um I'd love that to be true. Of course happened. I'll talk about that.

[00:31:06]But yes, so um yeah, the Africa Forward Summit is over and uh yeah, it brought some very interesting conversations and these are conversations that maybe we need to have as a people and it also brought the ugly face of Kenyan politics where right now it may reach a level where we have a lot of Kenyan Democrats, Kenyan liberals. So I still keep calling it out the cancel culture. It came in front where artists got number to cancel artists for having dinner.

[00:31:48]H it's actually normal man. That's actually normal. But yeah don't forget one thing Milan Pia from history in your colonialism started in 2024.

[00:32:04]Go figure.
