		<description><![CDATA[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.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Revolution. That word always conjures images of dead people in France, the U.S., and Haiti. I don&#8217;t want anymore wars and bloodshed in Africa, or anywhere else for that matter, all in the name of Revolution. But maybe, I&#8217;m seeing a different kind of revolution. A revolution against individual complacency. Against the unchecked acceptance of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s great to have this positive outlook that things in Africa can and will change soon. And if possible, change in our lifetime. But my goodness, the whole situation inspires very little hope doesn&#8217;t it? I&#8217;ve been back for less than six months and the hopelessness is palpable and waiting at the door. It&#8217;s there [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can think of four times in the fifty year or so history of post-colonial Africa in which the continent had one voice, and the same couple of countries – Ghana and South Africa – were the instigators. First with Ghana being the first country to gain independence in Africa in the late fifties. Then [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two of the more standout features of the African marketplace have the distinct dual pleasure of being its greatest attractions and possible hindrances. I am referring to taxes – or lack thereof, and bargaining – or license to boycott goods control. I was in the Masai market in Nairobi the other day and the price [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Often we get young entrepreneurs with charitable hearts eager to help Africa. Unfortunately, they often forget the basics. Such as a school without quality teachers is simply a building; a classroom without adequate textbooks is merely a room full of children. These charities erecting buildings make it easy to forget the essential problem – unequal [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Robert Litan, director of research at Kauffman Foundation – a firm that specializes in promoting innovation in America said, “Between 1980 and 2005, virtually all net new jobs created in the U.S. were created by firms that were 5 years old or less”. “That is about 40 million jobs. That means the established firms created [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pan-Africanism has been whispered and then shouted the world over as a solution to Africa’s ills and a refuge for blacks the world over. However, I am hesitant to join this bandwagon especially when Ghaddafi, who just called for Nigeria to be split into two, is its current champion. There is no doubt we need [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a saying in Nigeria that goes:  better soup, na money do am &#8211; which essentially means that money equals quality. I don&#8217;t think so. In my first week home, I&#8217;m realizing that it&#8217;s not as if I was wary of returning because things would suck. My main fear boils down to one thing: things [...]]]></description>
