Consider this: In the next 18 YEARS, Africa will add 700m people, which is >2x the entire population of the US. And by then, the median age will be just 23 (US = 38) and urbanization rate 54% (US = 83%). Worrying about competition is missing the point - and the opportunity.

.@mayor_collier why can't people waiting for a vaccine stand inside McClean community centre? It's cruel to have people wait in the freezing cold for a vaccine in the parking lot of an empty community building?

.@MinofHealthUG @JaneRuth_Aceng the health workers and security guards at Kisiwa Health Center are charging people 20k for the Covid Vaccine consent form. If you don't pay, you sit there for hours without getting a form as you watch others get vaccinated who paid the bribe.

.@mtnug my MBs have been chopped instantly for the past 2 hours. I've loaded 4 bundles already. I even loaded a bundle, turned off my mobile data, waited 10 minutes and turned my data back on and found 0MBs remaining. I even have to use @Airtel_Ug to send this tweet!
