Stop giving us aid, say Africans by nolongTing: 6:01pm On May 26, 2009
Margret Thatcher once said:  [size=13pt]"aid was just taking money from poor people in rich countries to give it to rich people in poor countries."[/size]
                                                           
[size=20pt]"[/size]He's called Thompson Ayodele, he's from Nigeria and he thinks that overseas aid is making African countries poorer. The statistics he produces are jaw-dropping. They suggest a direct correlation between the receipt of development assistance and low growth. This is true whether you compare neighbouring countries, or whether you look at different periods within the same country.[size=20pt]"[/size]
