You Lazy Intellectual African Scum!
25 January 2012
We the Bwanas (whites) take the cat fish. I am the Bwana and you are the Muntu. I get what I want and you get what you deserve, crumbs. That’s what lazy people get—Zambians, Africans, the entire Third World.” “Every white person on this plane feels superior to a black person. The white guy who picks up garbage, the homeless white trash on drugs, feels superior to you no matter his status or education. I can pick up a nincompoop from the New York streets, clean him up, and take him to Lusaka and you all be crowding around him chanting muzungu, muzungu and yet he’s a riffraff. Tell me why my angry friend.”

The Commodities Series – Introduction
29 September 2011
Firstly, I must apologize to readers for the long hiatus. The travails of a Masters’ program were tough but have been duly conquered… and hopefully with aplomb. Assuredly, the time off has broadened my horizons and added to my bank of knowledge, which should result in a better and more informed read. The headlines still [...]

First draft done!

It’s not pretty. Needs lots of work. I’m going over and plugging leaks, fixing tenses, trying not to cringe. Almost there.

It’s also kind of obvious that it will take us quite a while before Nigeria will be having uproarious congress discussions [...]

Drywall/Plasterboard/Sheetrock in Africa
23 November 2010
I’m not sure why we don’t already do this in the dryer parts of the continent. This would speed up and standardize house construction significantly and could be a cheaper alternative to traditional brick houses and a better alternative to poorly constructed mud houses. Drywall/Plasterboard has been in existence for over 100 years, I think [...]

Another Kind of Revolution
29 August 2010
Revolution. That word always conjures images of dead people in France, the U.S., and Haiti. I don’t want anymore wars and bloodshed in Africa, or anywhere else for that matter, all in the name of Revolution. But maybe, I’m seeing a different kind of revolution. A revolution against individual complacency. Against the unchecked acceptance of [...]
