WHY I SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP

  Why I Support Donald Trump?  By : Juste Picasso NDUWAYO As a resident of Burundi, I never thought I'd find myself supporting Donald Trump, the President of the United States of America.  Initially, I was skeptical of his policies and leadership style. However, over time, I've come to realize that he's a president of change, and his unconventional approach to politics has yielded some surprising benefits so far.  One of the primary reasons I've grown to support Trump is his commitment to reducing global conflicts. He's made significant strides in stopping the war in Palestine, and his efforts to broker a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia are commendable. These initiatives have not only reduced tensions to a world war,  but also paved the way for increased trade and economic cooperation. Trump's business acumen is another aspect of his leadership that I admire. As a businessman, he knows how to negotiate deals and drive economic growth. His policies have cre...

Why I Finally Joined TikTok: A Platform for the Future”

 " Why I Finally Joined TikTok: A Platform for the Future” By Juste Picasso Nduwayo  As a late adopter, I recently signed up for TikTok after hearing about its popularity among young people. I was curious to see what all the posts were  about, and I'm glad I have learned something . TikTok has become an integral part of the next generation's online experience, and as an agripreneur , I believe it's essential to be present on this platform. Like any social media platforms, TikTok can be both beneficial and distracting. It's up to the user to utilize it responsibly, whether for learning, marketing, or promoting products and services. TikTok's engaging format, with its emphasis on short-form videos, can be both entertaining and informative. However, I also acknowledge that TikTok can be destructive if not used wisely. Some parents may be unaware of what their children are posting or watching, which is why it's essential for adults to be present on the platform...

The Toxic Ancestors of Burundi: Unpacking the Root Cause of Today's Issues

 The Toxic Ancestors of Burundi: Unpacking the Root Cause of Today's Issues  BY Juste Picasso Nduwayo Burundi, a country nestled in the heart of Africa, has been grappling with poverty for decades. It's easy to point fingers at colonization, politicians, climate change, conflicts, corruption, laziness or external factors, but what if the root cause of our problems lies within our own families and cultural traditions? In this article, we'll embark on a journey to uncover the toxic ancestors of Burundi and how they've contributed to our current state of affairs. Let's start by asking the 5 Whys, a simple yet powerful tool for uncovering the underlying causes of a problem. Why is life becoming harder in Burundi? Because prices have gone up. Why have prices gone up? Because there's a shortage of fuel. Why is there a shortage of fuel? Because the country doesn't have enough foreign currency, which has weakened the Burundian franc (BIF). Why don't we have enou...

Électricité et Intelligence Artificielle (IA) : les perturbateurs de notre époque

  Électricité et Intelligence Artificielle (IA) : les perturbateurs de notre époque Par Juste Picasso Nduwayo  Tout comme l'électricité a révolutionné le 20e siècle, l'intelligence artificielle (IA) transforme le 21e siècle. Les parallèles sont frappants : Dans les années 1900, les visionnaires qui ont exploité le potentiel de l'électricité ont ouvert la voie à une croissance et à une innovation sans précédent. Ceux qui se sont adaptés tôt ont récolté d'immenses bénéfices, tandis que d'autres,  nos ancêtres africains, en particulier au Burundi ont été laissés pour compte. Aujourd'hui, l'IA offre une opportunité similaire. Adopter l'IA maintenant déterminera notre prospérité et notre compétitivité futures. Nous ne pouvons parler du vision 2040 et 2060 sans inserer l’IA dans notre système éducatif, l’agriculture, la santé , le transport, la sécurité, la communication, La Défense, l’industrie , digitalization, les finances , marketing, etc. L’intelligence a...
