pendo89: You've been to Angola? Cool! MPLA is structured around socialist ideals, so this comes as no surprise. |

Even though I still admire Angolas progress, I was a bit naive when I first made this thread. Angola's economy isn't nearly as dynamic as Nigeria's. . . by a long shot. Even though they are forecasted to grow double digits this year, their economy is still heavily dependent on commodities (95%). . . but I have hope for this country. I've ready numerous articles that suggest the Angolan government is serious about diversifying their economy. . . hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested into the agricultural sector, banking, tourism, and other sectors of the economy. If I'm not mistaken, the non-oil portion of their economy is growing faster than the former. |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Support The Relief Efforts In Haiti by blackspade(m): 1:42am On Jan 16, 2012 |
Brazil does it right. Haitians in Brazil get visas but border checks increase Brazil is granting residence visas to some 4,000 Haitians already in the country but is stepping up border checks to stem a further influx. The move follows an increase in migrants leaving Haiti to seek work in Brazil's booming economy. Many arrive in remote border towns after being brought to South America by people-smugglers and trekking through the jungles of Peru and Bolivia. Haiti is still struggling to recover from the January 2010 earthquake. The Brazilian Justice Ministry announced on Tuesday that some 4,000 Haitians who had arrived in the country since the devastating quake would be granted residence and work visas. These include 1,600 migrants who had already been authorised to stay and some 2,000 more who are in the country illegally. But the Brazilians authorities stressed that this was a one-off move. From now on, Haitians would need to apply at the Brazilian embassy in Port-au-Prince for one of the 100 work visas available per month, officials said. "The government will not be indifferent to the Haitians' vulnerable economic situation. But those who don't have a visas will not be allowed into Brazil," said Justice Minister Jose Eduardo Cardozo. The Brazilian authorities say they are also reinforcing border checks and will talk to neighbouring governments on ways of tackling people-smuggling. Many migrants flew to Ecuador and then were taken by traffickers through Peru or Bolivia. Most of the Haitians have been gathering in the towns of Tabatinga and Brasilieia, the French news agency AFP reports. Demand for manual labourers is strong in Brazil, where there are infrastructure and building projects under way, many linked to the planned 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games being held in the country. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-16502024 |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Tens Of Thousands Of Portuguese Seek Jobs In Africa by blackspade(m): 1:25am On Jan 16, 2012 |
igbo2011: If anything, the opposite is occurring. You should read up on how many Portuguese companies have been acquired, or partly acquired by Angolan investors. Just recently, Angolan investors expressed interest in buying Portugal former state oil company, Galp Energia.

Politics / Re: Is Gadaffi Better Than Our Past And Present Set Of Leaders? by blackspade(m): 1:41am On Aug 24, 2011 |
The man wasn't a saint, but he did manage to elevate Libya's living standards to the highest in Africa, made sure his population had access to universal education and healthcare, shielded his economy from greedy banksters, etc. . .much more than any leader of Nigeria can acclaim to. So my answer is a resounding YES. |

Foreign Affairs / Sweeping Changes In US Immigration Procedures: Law Abiding Illegals Able To Stay by blackspade(m): 1:12am On Aug 24, 2011 |
Undocumented, law-abiding immigrants won't get boot, President Obama says The White House said Thursday it will let undocumented, law-abiding immigrants facing deportation stay in the U.S. and apply for work permits. Essentially, what is going to happen now is that illegal immigrants are going to get to stay in the United States if any of the following apply: -arrival in the U.S. as a young child -actively "pursuing an education" -serving or served in the U.S. military -spouse of someone in the U.S. military -18 years old or younger -"elderly" -pregnant or nursing -victim of a "serious crime" -serious disability or health problem -caring for a family member with a serious disability or health problem Thoughts? |

claremont: Yes, you are entitled to your sentiments. . . and as a legal immigrant I can see your perspective, but as someone who also knows of the troubles and pains many illegal immigrants endure on a daily basis, I see this as a positive change. Many illegal Nigerians were once legal, but because of the many already present holes in the U.S. immigration system, they became illegal. The knife cuts both ways. |

Im interested to see the sales of nollywood and 'ghollywood' (wtf?) flicks in Ghana compared. Judging from the Ghanians I know personally (all of them love our movies), I wouldn't be surprised if Nollywood flicks rake in more dollars than 'Ghollywood' flicks. |
