Who Really Is Africa’s Best Player?

Every year, CAF announces the African Player of the Year, and every year we applaud.
But no one pauses to ask the uncomfortable question:
Best where?

Because when CAF crowns the continent’s finest, it’s not the one who carried an African club through the CAF Champions League.
Not the one who dazzled at AFCON or elevated the African game at home.

No!! it’s the one who impressed in Europe.

And this is the quiet betrayal we all ignore.

Let’s Look at the Evidence: The Last 10 Winners

Zero of the last 10 winners were playing in Africa.
Not even one.
Not even a shortlist finalist.

When Was the Last Time an Africa-Based Player Won?

You’d have to go back to the year 1986 when Mohamed Timoumi of Morocco, playing for FAR Rabat, won the African Player of the Year award while based in Africa.

That’s nearly 40 years ago.
Let that sink in.

The Global Comparison

South America: Gabigol (Flamengo) and Carlos Tévez won continental best player awards while playing in South America.

Asia: Salem Al-Dawsari, based in Saudi Arabia, won the AFC Player of the Year.

Europe: Naturally picks from within its own elite leagues.

Yet Africa never recognizes its own from within.

This is not just about football awards it’s about how Africa sees itself.

CAF is telling every young African footballer this:

“You are not great until Europe says so.”

And so, every rising star sees escape as success.
Local clubs are left with no heroes.
The CAF Champions League becomes an audition, not a crown.

Meanwhile, players like:

Ali Maâloul (Al Ahly)
Denis Onyango (Mamelodi Sundowns)
Mohamed El Shenawy (Al Ahly)
Zouheir El Moutaraji (Wydad Casablanca)

…win trophies, carry clubs, shine in Africa’s biggest games yet never appear on the Player of the Year stage.

What CAF Must Do

Redefine Eligibility: Prioritize African-based performances in African competitions.
Dual Awards: Introduce a “Diaspora African Player” for those shining abroad.
Elevate Interclub Player of the Year: Make it a co-equal, not a consolation.
Honor AFCON Heroes: Weight national team exploits like Copa America or Euro achievements.

If South America can reward players for excellence within South America,
If Asia can uplift stars from Riyadh or Seoul,
Then why must Africa outsource greatness?

Why must our champions wear foreign jerseys before they’re worthy of a golden statue?

The best African player should not be the best African in Europe.
He should be the one who carries Africa on African soil.

And until we change that, this award remains not a celebration but a reminder of our silence.

Friday Reflections

“Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.”
Surah Ar-Ra’d (13:11)

Africa prays every Friday.
Mosques echo with voices calling upon Allah for peace, progress, and prosperity.

But between the ameen and the amen lies a question:
Have we changed what is within us?

We ask for development, but corruption sits at the table.
We ask for unity, but tribalism still divides us.
We ask for blessings, but we exploit our own people.

If we want a new Africa, we must grow new hearts ;
Leaders who fear God.
Youth who choose dignity over desperation.
Societies that trade excuses for excellence.

Africa’s rebirth begins on the inside.

So this Friday, as we raise our hands in du’a,
Let us also roll up our sleeves in effort.

Because divine help meets human intention halfway.

Things That Are Older Than the iPhone

The iPhone launched in 2007. But believe it or not, these things had already been living rent-free in our world:

YouTube – Dropped in 2005. It was already home to cat videos and “Charlie bit my finger” before Apple gave us touchscreen swagger.

Facebook – Born in a Harvard dorm in 2004. Back then, you needed a .edu email to join.

Bluetooth – Came out in 1999. It’s older than some of y’all reading this.

The Euro currency – Officially launched in 1999. It’s seen more inflation than your love life.

PlayStation 2 – Released in 2000. Still one of the best-selling consoles ever.

Shrek – The first one dropped in 2001. Yes, that meme legend is older than your iPhone 15

What do you own older than the IPhone?

WHY THE GAMBIA MUST WAKE UP TO A 24-HOUR ECONOMY

By the Renaissance Quill……..

Right now, The Gambia runs on a 9-to-5 schedule. By 6pm, most offices are closed. Streets go quiet. Shops lock up. And a nation with massive unemployment and untapped talent goes to sleep while the rest of the world works.

It’s time we change that.
What if we told you that by moving to a three-shift, 24-hour economic system, we could:
Triple productivity
Create thousands of new jobs
Boost investor confidence
Make The Gambia safer at night
And even reduce traffic during the day?
Here’s why The Gambia must rethink how it works.

One Job Can Become Three
With 3 shifts (Morning, Evening, Night), every existing role opens up three times the opportunity.
Imagine hospitals, factories, call centers, restaurants, delivery services, and digital jobs hiring around the clock. This is a game-changer for youth employment!

A Non-Stop Economy = More Money
Businesses operating 24/7 can produce and sell more. Farmers can process goods longer. Restaurants can stay open for night workers. Entrepreneurs can run shops late into the night. Even government services can become faster and more efficient with night shifts.

Safety Through Activity
When streets are empty, crime thrives. But when people are working, patrolling, driving, cleaning, or buying groceries at 2AM, criminals think twice. A busy city is a safer city.

We Become Globally Competitive
In today’s world, clients don’t wait for Gambian time zones. IT, tourism, online services, BPOs (call centers) all need night coverage. We lose opportunities daily because we’re sleeping while the world is working.

Less Traffic, Less Stress
If we space out activity across the day and night, rush hour is reduced, roads are less congested, and services are better accessed. No more long queues at offices or traffic jams in the heat.

New Night Economy
The nightlife becomes more than clubs. It becomes business.

Think:
24/7 supermarkets and pharmacies
Night transport services
Entertainment, cleaning, printing, security, repairs
Digital work-from-home jobs
It’s a whole new economic frontier waiting to be tapped.

Real Development Starts With Bold Change
Kenya, Rwanda, Nigeria, Ghana & many are moving toward 24-hour sectors. Why not us? Why can’t the Smiling Coast be the working coast, day and night?

What We Must Do:
Update labor laws to support 3 shifts
Invest in security, lighting, and transport at night
Encourage businesses to run multiple shifts
Train youth for nighttime work
Run public awareness on the benefits of 24-hour life
The Gambia Can’t Afford to Sleep Anymore
Our youth are ready. The ideas are here. The benefits are clear.
Let’s stop limiting development to sunlight hours.

Things That Are Older Than Google

Google was founded in 1998. Sounds ancient, right? But here are a few things that have been around way before you were asking it how to boil an egg

The Internet – Born in 1983. Yup, the OG web was already crawling before Google made searching cool.

Email – Around since the 1970s. Someone might’ve sent the first “LOL” on a dial-up modem.

Mobile Phones – First commercial mobile phone? 1983. Clunky, brick-sized, and only made calls!

Microsoft Windows – Windows 1.0 dropped in 1985. Google was still in diapers (wait it didn’t exist yet).

USB Flash Drives – Invented in 1998 (barely made the cut, but still slightly older!)

Text Messaging (SMS) – First text sent in 1992. “Merry Christmas,” if you’re curious

You (probably) – If you’re reading this and born before 1998… congrats, you’re officially older than Google too

Moral of the scroll?
Google’s a genius, but don’t sleep on the things that paved the way for it.

THE UNIVERSITY OF MANHOOD
“Secret of Africa’s Discipline”

Before the walls of modern classrooms and the noise of social media ,there exists a sacred institution :The University of Manhood.
It’s not built of bricks, but of values.
Not run by professors, but by elders.
And its curriculum? Discipline, responsibility, respect, and courage.

This is where boys are reborn into men, molded by tradition, tested by silence, and taught the unwritten codes that govern societal integrity.

Here, the forest becomes the classroom.The drum becomes the bell.The spirit masks become the guards.And the night? The night teaches silence.

In this place, you do not just grow, you become.You learn to carry your name like a shield.To walk with your eyes down, and your mind high.To speak with purpose,To endure with dignity,To protect without pride.

This image is not just a collage, it is a manifesto.

It is the Africa we believe in. The Africa we are building. The Africa that must rise.

In these faces; doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, students, farmers, athletes, and innovators, we see a continent no longer defined by its past, but by its potential. This is an Africa where dreams are not deferred, where talent is not exported, and where dignity is not negotiable.

It is an Africa where women lead without apology, where youth innovate with confidence, and where the elderly advise with wisdom. It is a continent of collaboration, not competition; of technology fused with tradition; of unity beyond borders.

This is the Africa where education unlocks futures, not just doors. Where health is not a privilege, but a right. Where industry is homegrown and globally respected. Where black excellence is not the exception, it is the expectation.

It is an Africa where we own our narratives, control our resources, and define our destiny.

Let this image be a call to action. Let it remind us that the Africa we want is not a distant dream, it is a choice we make every day.

We are no longer waiting for change.
We are the change.
This is The Africa We Want.

Nigeria’s former president and one of Africa’s most polarizing figures, has died in a London clinic at the age of 82, his family confirmed today.

Having served as military ruler in the ‘80s and elected leader decades later.

But beyond the borders of Nigeria, his legacy lives continent-wide:

He waged war on corruption;not always perfect, but relentless.
He stood firm on security, facing terrorism with uncompromising grit.
He believed in PanAfrican unity, backing AfCFTA and regional cooperation.
He introduced civic order through his once “War Against Indiscipline.”
And, unlike many before him, he walked away peacefully after two terms.

Buhari didn’t just serve Nigeria. He stirred Africa’s conscience.

Rest well, Baba Buhari.
Africa mourns you. Africa thanks you

PUBLIC NOTICE: Immediate Medical Attention Comes First

Lives come first. The Gambia Police Force has issued a vital directive ensuring that no patient in need of urgent medical care shall be delayed because of police es**rt procedures.

Effective immediately, all health facilities must provide emergency treatment without waiting for police. Reporting can come after care is given.

This is a major step toward protecting life and ensuring dignity in crisis moments.
