To think like that is to disempower oneself and to let your adversaries forever dominate you.<BR/><BR/>We all know that the people of ancient Israel were enslaved in Babylon (or Iraq as it now known) and Egypt for long periods of time <BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/<BR/>Babylonian_Captivity<BR/><BR/>It could have been easy for the people of Israel to say, "oh well folks that's it, our fate has been sealed, let's stay like this forever". Today, Israel is head and shoulders ahead of Iraq and Egypt. So it is possible for one to rise above one's circumstances, although it is not easy. <BR/><BR/>Dare I say it, Botswana is a relatively stable country that is making significant strides (and modestly too).<BR/><BR/>That is an attempt to answer your question about the children of Ham.anonymaus[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-5469132865691412272008-07-23T02:56:00.000+01:002008-07-23T02:56:00.000+01:00Olu I feel your pain. Some of this h*t leaves me wondering if Professor Watson (racist of the year 07) did not have a point......breaks my heart to see it happening. Ignorance is the root of this evil - education (about our past, present and future) is the only way out of this mess.<BR/><BR/>Toks-boy your Africa My Black Arse info is truly heartbreaking. If these leaders knew anything about their Black History - from the perspective of everyone else in the world, not just their own indigenous culture, they would never disrespect their predecessors by behaving like 3 yr olds.........Anonymous[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-63315133532443371742008-07-22T23:02:00.000+01:002008-07-22T23:02:00.000+01:00Suffocating rage, just beneath the surface.It sits there,like a dull ache.

I wonder if these guys have a monthly conference call where they try to better each other.<BR/><BR/>Sample:<BR/><BR/>Mugabe - $40m this month oh. That is one power I will not be sharing with what's his name.<BR/><BR/>Bongo - Small change. Small chap. Just spent that taking my wife to lunch. In Paris.On my private jet. Got her a little something for dessert. A Mansion. And a matching Maybach.Yes another one. So suck on that boyo.<BR/><BR/>Wonder how much the big boys in Nigeria and South Africa have made off with this month. Can't seem to get through to the guy in Nigeria. Hear its a Nitel problem.If only he would spend some of the money on that company. At least get them to sort him out with a propoer line. Anyway, till next month. Goodbye. Or should I say Au revoir?<BR/><BR/>I recently read a book called Africa My Black Arse and the author highlighted something that I was not aware of. Apparently in most, if not all the countries he travelled through on the way from SA to Egypt, every single leader had tried, or had successfully managed, to change the constitution to make themselves President or Leader for Life. Mmmm wonder why?<BR/><BR/>Oh and yes as somebody has already said wait till the Chinese finish their takeover. In the above mentioned book there was a town I believe in Liberia? where the Chinese have built a hotel where only the Chinese can enter. You read right. Apparently outside this hotel are guards who are natives of the country in querstion and they actually turn away the indigenes as the hotel is for the Chinese only. In Africa oh. It is happening right here. Right now.<BR/><BR/>I am of course keeping a close eye on the Chinese hotel being built on the Lekki Expressway.

I was not implying the <BR/>people of Africa take a reactive stance to this situation, on the contrary they should take a proactive stance.<BR/>I've raised this point time and time again (you are first to respond), that the poor functioning of governments <BR/>on the continent are the fault of elites and social societies. Who allow such characters (regimes whatever you<BR/>want to call them) to rule (or misrule) them, to flourish in perpetuity. By misrule I mean following misguided<BR/>policies is in Zimbabwe, Gabon, or just plain theft. Yet the same pattern often repeats itself in one country after<BR/>another,decade after decade. If it's not famine, its the breakdown of law and order, or economic strife that gets African nations. <BR/>This is all too sad because it's avoidable.<BR/><BR/>My apologies for the link I posted not working<BR/><BR/>Here it is agin, just click on "Gabon" to listen to the program.<BR/><BR/>http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/specials/1216_oil/anonymaus[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-86683718261460193532008-07-22T11:46:00.000+01:002008-07-22T11:46:00.000+01:00Why do you think thousands risk it all to escape to Europe?

Nigeria, burdened with a large population, can't manage their wealth either (again both sustainably or sensibly).<BR/><BR/>What is it with the elite in Africa and sound management of a national economy, are they incompatible?<BR/><BR/>Now Gabonese oil reserves are dwindling? What do they have to show for all this wealth. Look at how Kuwait has managed and their land is nothing but dry and barren desert. <BR/><BR/>This is phenomenon is not unique to Gabon, but will other African nations take the hint? I think not.
