Cyril Ramaphosa, the South African President who has taken over as the new chairman of the African Union, AU as promised to lead a revolution into infrastructure development across Africa, a challenge he said if realised would see an end to all manifestations of colonialism and imperialism on the continent.

On Sunday in Addis Ababa, Ramaphosa took over from Egypt’s Abdel Fatah El-Sisi for the one-year tenure, using his acceptance speech to rail against years of neglect that has rendered Africa a minor player in world trade and also a notorious dumping ground for substandard goods.

He said;

“The era of colonialism and imperialism under which Africa is a pit stop in the global assembly line has passed,”

He further expressed high expectations of the recently-adopted African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). He said its implementation would mark the beginning of prosperity in the continent.

“We are a continent that is rich in natural resources but also in history, intellectual output, culture in its sense of humanity,” he said,

He added that his leadership will kickstart a process that would guarantee an “Africa connected through a vast network of roads and railways, enabling the free movement of goods, people and services.”

The 33rd Summit of the African Unio has been packed with discussions around urgent implementation of AfCFTA, a continent-wide trade treaty adopted in 2018. The treaty has been endorsed by 52 out of the 54 countries that constitute the union and legislative bodies of all the countries have already commenced ratification processes.

“The success of the AfCTA depends on infrastructure development,” Mr Ramaphosa said,

adding that a road would be constructed between Cape Town and Cairo as part of the agenda. A slew of “outstanding issues” around AfCFTA, especially on the definition of what constitutes an ‘African good or service’ would be finalised before the official commencement of the policy, he added.

"Women and youth would also play a major role in driving AfCFTA implementation due to their indispensable potentials for economic mobilit" Ramaphosa said.

“We have heard the calls of the women and the girls of Africa for liberation from the shackles of patriarchy, violence and economic exclusion,”

“Africa must drive a skills revolution and an Africa intelligence forum must be established to include those in the diaspora.”

This year’s AU summit, which has non-African leaders like Antonio Guterres and Canada’s Justin Trudeau in attendance, majorly focused on silencing the guns to foster economic development on the continent.

Just by the side yet seem afar

Not gone far but close by

Been in pain but none to tell

Feeling some blame yet you yell

Should you anger and not tell?

Should I sing maybe he'll hear me

Should I cry maybe he'll feel me

Or should I smile maybe he'll understand

Though, on a road I stand

But not only with legs but heart

Clinched to a top aright

Teeth and tongue fight

Yet they stay firm altogether

Like a breeze I feel you drifting away

Like in a sieve I want to sift carefully

What is part without ner?

Forthrightly, I don't need you afar

Would you want this heart to break apart?

But If you'd love the mind to mope all night

Keep your word and hold the fights

Like water soften a paper

And as water calms the nerve

So also is music to the heart

As she saves many from any net

Like a wine you gladden the heart

Your power emit joy into any hurt

So strong you build our emotions

And calmly you speak in many directions

The power of music intoxicate like wine

Yet tasty and soothing as honey

Birthing great relief from pain, if any

Music is indeed the spirit of life

So vast you reign in all

Not selective with language nor colours

You dwell with all and dominate

As you make yourself accessible to ALL

Belly fat can be so discomforting. Some woman have been tagged pregnant just because of their big belly while some men push around with big belly.

Many get discomfort via this belly fat and start to wear all sort of tight materials or girdles just to hide the fat and help them stay in shape when going out.

I can't imagine the discomfort in wearing girdle or belly trimmers. Some are so tight that the person can hardly breathe freely.
Life is good when you're not under any body part pressure.
Here are few steps;

1. Avoid overfeeding
2. Avoid heavy late night food
3. Avoid lying down immediately after eating
4. Eat 3-4hours before your bed time
5. Reduce your intake of fatty food
6. Never skip exercise (minimum of 3-4 times weekly for about minimum 40 minutes daily)
7. Drink enough water daily
8. Fill your plates with more healthy fruits and vegetables
9. Never fail to detoxify yourself frequently.

Sometimes ago I had a friend worrying and asking if there's anyway to live right amidst all the do's and don't spreading wide and fast via social media platforms.

Apparently, the series of broadcast messages on health and lifestyle got her panicking and confused, probably because no research is completely correct. Today you read a different research on a particular way of dieting and tomorrow you read something different.

We all know the world is advancing fast and daily like its in a competition. But nonetheless, living healthy and right is a great concern for all.

I won't write long epistles on 'the How', rather i will simply list few basic things to do. Here are three basic and simple ways to live healthy and right.

Everything is easy if you believe. Thus, get your mind set aright while you;

1. EAT healthy food daily in the right proportion and remember that too much of everything is bad therefore eat right.

2. EXERCISE the body at least three to four times daily. Your body isn't a wood nor iron, thus, the need for exercise.

3. REST daily. Machines and engines do rest else they malfunction. If you want a good mental health rest is a must do.

I wish you good life.
