SUB- SAHARAN AFRICA AND THE ECONOMIES OF GROWTH

Several decades after independence, much of Africa remains wracked
with famine, malnutrition, high infant mortality, disease,
mismanagement, corruption, civil war, refugees, lack of leadership,
declining economic growth, widespread crime, unemployment, continuing
kleptocracy bla bla bla the list is endless.
For most Africans, independence has meant more a desperate struggle
for survival than an exhilarating path to development. Although a few
nations have managed to make modest gains, the overwhelming majority
of African countries are plagued with stagnating economies, low per
capita income, and political instability.

Build Africa today asked:
TO WHAT EXTENT HAS THE POLITICS OF SUB- SAHARAN AFRICA LEAD TO A FALL
IN THE ECONOMIES OF GROWTH IN THE SAID REGION?

This question covers thoroughly components of the regions history in
capitalism, including colonialism, regional economic integration along
the lines of the international division of wealth, the rise of the
Third World and what lead to it, and the unity of economic and
political power.

Funniest Scary Notice on a Notice Board

*APRIL FOOLS*

April Fools' Day is celebrated all around the world on the April 1st every year. Sometimes referred to as All Fools' Day, April 1 is unfortunately not a public holiday, even though widely recognized and celebrated as a day where many people play all kinds of practical jokes on others and display all works of foolishness, the day is marked by the commission of good humored or funny jokes, hoaxes hoaxes, and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, family members, teachers, neighbors, work associates, etc.

The most hilarious thing happened in our offices today. Someone decided to switch the MD's phones lines  with those of the receptionist. The man was going crazy receiving calls left right and center. Juice handed to the person responsible. that was worth a laugh or two. 

Ideally the victim is the fool, and their vulnerability does not make things any better for them. 

But is that the case really? is the victim the fool o really is the one who has the time to prunk the victim the fool. 

*something to think about*

Agricultural Tender 2011.

The ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives today 28th March 2011 closed the tender on the supply of agricultural fertilizer for the 2011/2012 agricultural season after 2weeks of issue. In the past, the government has favored two private owned companies: Nyiombo and Omnia with the tenders. This year the private sector licked some insider information that Omnia had been part of a deal to fix prices for fertilizer in the country's industry hence allowing its product to form some sort of a monopoly in the market. With this knowledge in the minds of the decision makers, lets see who wins the bid. I will ensure you get the latest news of the results as soon as they are out.
