    The AfCFTA is Africa's biggest bet on itself in decades. If it works, a trader in Lagos sells to Nairobi as easily as to Accra. If it stalls, we lose another generation to fragmented markets. So which way is it going? #Africa #AfCFTA

    Honestly, the best relationships I've seen aren't the ones with zero conflict. They're the ones where both people actually listen instead of just waiting for their turn to talk. What's one small habit that made a relationship in your life stronger? #relationships
