      Wode Maya the big issue Africa has it’s not investors from diaspora, the big issue it is only Democracy in Africa.
      Because when there is no democracy in Africa will get more civil war, corruption, etc
      I think you need to take a time to promote Democracy and freedom than investment.

It has paid off as we all can see. Let us role up our sleeves, put our hand to the plough & help with the NATION BUILDING process of Mother Africa.

      True indeed, and that also means holding back on driving the business to profit rather than breaking-even. To be balanced and fair as a person should also migrate the same persona to business, allowing the room for varied products, innovations, and growth. It makes no sense to me for us to endorse a competitive edge in-house within two decades. International trade to me is an exception to this.

      Jaymiel Rashaw Yes, but so many creating business in Africa and getting education are getting white education and white economics from Europe, USA, Australia etc. look he even said an English University was sponsoring him in Ghana that now has a campus in Ghana. Africa is building up itself using white education and white economics. However, Ghana will be ok in the end because it will benefit from what the west can offer.

      The black nation of people should reflect on our reality for over two thousand years and be reminded that we're the original people who's responsible for all of civilization curation. The black nation of people cannot afford to be distracted and should should always pay attention to the big picture of what's happening to black under the yoke of white supremacists Christianity and manifest destiny agenda.. The dehumanizing of black people is only a a brief time in human history comparing to our existence as the original people for over a million years. The truth cannot be denied that the black man Carrie's the dominant genes and at no time you can get the dominant genes from the recessive genes but you can always get a tho recessive genes from the dominant genes. The truth cannot be denied that the black nation of people has lost knowledge of Black sails and at no time white education or white economics can resolve black people problem. One of the first thing black people has to acknowledge is that when someone give you their name it simply means ownership of people and Land. The name AFRICA is a European name. The black motherland needs to be rename and become unified in order to build a strong proud successful productive prosperous United black nation of people. I have total confident in my brilliant beloved beautiful brave black Nation of people. I truly proud to be a unapologetic black man a descendant from the black motherland now rename Africa. I truly love my black family throughout planet Earth especially in my beloved beautiful black motherland.

      Jaymiel Rashaw You’re talking of a fairytale...Africa is full of invested money from Europe, China, the USA and all sorts of nations and it is these non-African nations that are investing heavily in Africa’s infrastructure and economy. From the sound of your name, you’re an American rather than an African so your nation is one of the investing nations. Africans go abroad and get white western educations, come back and use that white western education to better their own communities in ways they could not have had they’ve not been given an opportunity in Europe or the USA to get a good education.
