If African leaders get their resources together - they can come out of its SELF-IMPOSED poverty state. but NO - African leaders take the AID and pad their Swiss bank accounts. If Africans don't care about Africans. Why should the world? |

MandingoII: You have to realize that many African Countries that receive foreign aid actually put it to use.Liberia is a BIG EXAMPLE!!The money that The US Lend to The Liberian Government is Put To use for their necessary purpose.Liberia have many natural resources.We need to use it to improve the country.There are African Leaders out there that are self-centered~~~BUT THERE ARE GOOD ONES ALSO!! |

MandingoII: I am pretty sure they know Barrack Obama do not owe them anything.Their excitement comes from knowing that one of the most important People in the world have roots in Africa. My aunt told me that everyone was dancing in Liberia when Obama won.Its something inside of them and all of us that made us happy now and will make us happy forever.It goes beyond Physical Things!! |

@mandingo its obvious you are totally naive when it comes to world finance,is the strenght of a currency the main indicant of a country's strenght and weakenesses?do you realise a country can artificially push up the value of their currency for many reasons?again i will not cater to your ignorance but lead you in the right direction to do some proper literary research on, go google currency and its impact on a country's economy n then start reading from there |

For Lucrabrasi: [b]Corruption is a global phenomenon, intelligible only in its social context. It can he defined as anti-social behaviour conferring improper benefits contrary to legal and moral norms, and which undermines the authorities' capacity to secure the welfare of all citizens. In Nigeria it became the principal means of private accumulation during the decolonisation period, in the absence of other means, and came to shape political activity and competition after independence. All subsequent regimes, military and civilian, have been pervaded by corruption. Aided and enhanced by oil revenues, this has created a deepening crisis of kleptocracy, shown in is most extreme form since 1984. It results in a combination of scandalous wealth among the ruling class with growing poverty, misery and degradation among the mass of Nigerians. Political life has become dominated by winner-take-all factional struggles, political cynicism and violence, while the economy and social institutions have been driven into decay. Corruption has thus become a way of life in Nigeria, one which existing governments neither wish to, nor can, control. Combating corruption requires a popular participatory democracy able to monitor and hold to account those in charge of the state and the treasury. [/b] Thus, It sooo entrinched and systemic - there is no END. ALSO very important, Diapora Nigerians PROP up your GDP! It is Nigerians from AROUND THE WORLD sending money home that GIVES NIGERIA LIFE! |

MandingoII: and the AA buying crack gives the business life |
| Re: Why Do Africa Think Its ENTITLED To Foreign Aid? by osisi6(f): 4:25am On Nov 19, 2008 |
MandingoII: We are ruling ourselves we are incharge of our affairs while you're a mere 3rd class citizen in your own country. Africans, Indians, Chinese and even bilingual Mexicans will be hired before you. Lazy illiterate folks Keep lining up for welfare and government cheese and delivering babies like roaches all over the place. More than half of y'all have no clue who your fathers are Your mamas don't even know either are there no viable AA sites for you to carry your madness to? will they e-gun you down in cold blood? useless akata efulefu |

I thinks it’s because the country cannot afford the aid that is needed otherwise they would have rejected the aid. 1 British Pound = 178.776 Nigerian Naira |
| Re: Why Do Africa Think Its ENTITLED To Foreign Aid? by Ifygurl: 6:27am On Nov 19, 2008 |
JamaicanQT: We don't take aid from any other country anymore. After Nigeria paid off it's debts, we stopped getting aid. MandingoII: Your an idiot you know that right? LOL Ethiopian money is higher than Nigerian Naira. Is that country living a better life than the poorest person in Nigeria? Use you brain for once why don't you. Look @ the person judging us, LMFAO. African-Americans please take care of your community before giving ANYONE an advice. Hell if we follow AA's ways we still going to be poor. Might as well shoot ourselves while we at it. Richest person in African-American community is a rapper or a sports player or in some kind of entertainment. The richest person in Nigeria is a businessman and his also the richest black man alive. Do you think he needs an advice from an AA? |

MandingoII: no wonder the white man once said - if you want to hide something from an AA, u're better off placing it in a book. Get some education mr Madingo II: 1 U.S. dollar = 96.4785335 Japanese yen 1 Japanese Yen = $0.010269 Care to ask what one Yen can buy? Well sorry Japan is the world's second largest economy and her car giant, Toyota, far outsells those hopeless behemoths ur country has. Try sneering at the Japanese . . . |
| Re: Why Do Africa Think Its ENTITLED To Foreign Aid? by JamaicanQT(f): 4:43pm On Nov 19, 2008 |

Re: Why Do Africa Think Its ENTITLED To Foreign Aid? If African leaders get their resources together - they can come out of its SELF-IMPOSED poverty state. Get your language and communication skills together before pointing your leprous fingers at others |

DavidDylan: i was just about to post that. numerical values have nothing to do with purchase power. 117 naira will buy the same thing 2 dollars can buy. if Zimbabwe redenominates its currency as 1:1 with the US dollar, that doesnt make it as strong. basic econ lol |

Mandingo is on the prowl again. Starting topics based on half baked ideas, filled with bitterness and jealousy. Dude you are pure entertainment. |
| Re: Why Do Africa Think Its ENTITLED To Foreign Aid? by MandingoII(m): 1:18am On Nov 21, 2008 |
i was just about to post that. numerical values have nothing to do with purchase power. 117 naira will buy the same thing 2 dollars can buy. if Zimbabwe redenominates its currency as 1:1 with the US dollar, that doesnt make it as strong. FINE! But Nigeria's GDP is a meager $296 Billion. and MOST OF THAT comes from Nigerians in the Diaspora. African Americans GDP = 700 Billion and counting keep in mind: Nigeria =162 million people African Americans = 40 million people. WE CAN BUY YOUR COUNTRY TWICE OVER!!!! kick rocks. |

Someone said mandingo is ignorant . . . this confirms it MandingoII: In comparison to what? Nigeria is just the size of Texas. Do you expect our GDP to be as high as that of a continent? MandingoII: 95% of Nigeria's GDP comes from oil. idiot. MandingoII: That is not a real GDP. Try removing the whites, lets figure out your GDP after 5 yrs. Foolish boy. MandingoII: The AA economy has been run by whites for 200yrs so shut up. MandingoII: Yeah sure . . . the Haitians would sure love if we could buy them. Too bad they chose to go form a country on their own rather than remain slaves on plantations. You descendants of slaves turned out to be the lucky ones. |
| Re: Why Do Africa Think Its ENTITLED To Foreign Aid? by shotster50(m): 3:33am On Nov 21, 2008 |
I have this feeling Mandingo is a Nigerian in denial. |
| Re: Why Do Africa Think Its ENTITLED To Foreign Aid? by Sammy107d(m): 3:39am On Nov 21, 2008 |
MandingoII: Wow "we can buy your country twice over". . . Mandigo talks like a twelve yr old. He doesnt even know wot GDP means! |
