    How well we speak the the Queen's language we got more pressing issues like our leaders who are corrupt to the bone, then if we can straighten that out our Africa will devolope and the entire Universe will marvel, but right now the problem or Africa is mostly Africans , especially the leaders.

    I couldn't agree more! Well said.

    Em África luta-se, desenvolve-se, investiga-se, investe-se em tudo o que possa mudar o Mundo e a Vida global para melhor. África será o celeiro do Mundo, será a Escola do Mundo, Será o Centro de Paz para o Mundo.

    I found a most interesting micro-loan site in which people can contribute a small amount (I started with $25) in some small local business in many places in the world, including Africa. I invested $25, and this has been used twice to help small businesses in Ghana. The intention is not to make a profit (one doesn't make anything from this), but to help struggling, small business people in the target countries so they can buy more stock for their roadside stands, etc. The organization is Kiva.org, and I would urge you to have a look at it.

    I believe strongly that Africa can transform its institutions, systems and capacities to realize its full potential. We have the resources and local partnerships to do this.

    Africa has all the imaginable natural resources to be a self sustaining continent , where all its inhabitants can live with pride and dignity.We have to explore ways to process our natural resources- instead of exporting them and buying them back at astronomical prices. In so doing we could create employment and maximise our income.By doing this foreign funding would not be needed.

    we realy need to have few speeches than actions to foster African developments.Scientists are highly needed than politicians!

    we need to stay united, simple & fact...may God help us...(Aameen).
