I’m in rural Rwanda, 4 hours out of Kigali. Unlike many villages in some rural African countries, in Rwanda you won’t see a single grass thatched house. It’s not because the people are rich but because they are organized, disciplined and united. #Africa
Work in silence, don’t announce your next big moves, esp to people who don’t matter, let your wins do the talking. Celebrate quietly, work tirelessly. Never give them a chance to see you coming, people love to ruin things!
Genomic selection in livestock can improve traits such as disease resistance, productivity, and environmental adaptability, making animal farming more sustainable and efficient and meeting global animal product demands on quantity and quality!
Story telling is a powerful tool in public speaking. They create emotional connections, simplify complex ideas, and make your message memorable. Use stories to engage, persuade, and resonate universally. A good story turns a speech into an unforgettable experience. #Leadership
In the near future, the integration of AI and genomics will significantly enhance the analysis of DNA evidence & other info from crime scenes, making it easier to identify perpetrators, exonerate the innocent, and solve cold cases! There will be no where for criminals to hide!
Confidence and networks will take you to places and open doors that education, talent and experience combined will never do; but when you combine all these elements, you create synergy and a force that’s unstoppable!
Excessive talking not only exposes your ignorance, but also gives people room to criticize & challenge your inexperience. Silence can be golden, especially when it’s time to listen, learn, and reflect. Your attention seeking today can be used against you tomorrow!
Whether you are managing teams, negotiating with someone etc, start by asking for small favors, get them to say yes, commit to small asks. Once that is granted, you can approach the larger request. Ensure appropriate time between the requests to not seem too demanding or pushy.
Speak up in meetings and aim to speak earlier on when the meeting starts, and don't be afraid or ashamed of stating the obvious! #Leadership
While the dollar may currently be artificially weakening against the Kenyan shilling, all signs suggest a potential aggressive rebound in the coming months.
Globally, people are at risk of meningitis but the highest burden of the disease is seen in a region of Africa, known as the African Meningitis Belt, because of many factors including climatic conditions that favor the transmission of the bacterium responsible for the disease.
In leadership, it’s good to seek common ground but we must also be comfortable with disagreeing. Agreeing to disagree is important when decisions must be made and a consensus cannot be reached, respecting each other’s differing views without damaging the relationship!
While the Global North reaps the advancements of genomics in cancer, rare diseases, therapy selections etc etc, the Global South remains disproportionately underserved. We must dismantle genomics elitism and ensure equitable access to these life-saving technologies worldwide!
In any negotiation, have at least 2-3 non-negotiables among your demands and never compromise on them. Be willing to walk away, thats leadership!
They will deny you food, steal it to benefit themselves, then when you have starved to near death, they'll give you some little food and claim heroism in your survival, that they've saved you from death. Politics of deceit & conmanship. True leadership should empower, not entrap!

Thatch is actually cool. Zink and asbestos are actually not good for African temperatures. Plus they cause emissions. Thatch is eco friendly. Plus Kagame is a dictator😁

@GatimuMuchai What does "a grass thatched house represent"? Poverty? Or simply part of rural Africa?
@GatimuMuchai Also because it is a relatively smaller country, both in size and population making administration easier.
I have been hesitant on upgrading my grass thatched Lion. Do you mean something special with lack of one?
