[color=#CD1076]Nah, this is just for the camera..

Can anyone actually eat all that at a go


[/color]

Yea, but some people will eat that in 24hrs, while some will consume in less than 5hrs.

Do u believe that?

Luckygurl:
Wait!!
Hold on

Let me get you clear

She ate it all at once
Or perhaps she stayed a longer part of the day and ate it as breakfast, lunch and possibly dinner

Not more than 2hrs o, went to the kitchen like 3ice while seeing a movie.

Some ladies can eat, i pity the men married to ladies like this.

Thats how a female corper came to my house for the first time during my service year, she cooked a whole pack of spaghetti and ate it all alone with 5alive.

I was shocked and from that moment, i changed my mind.

10. Poor Understanding Of the World.

Knowledge is the key to success, power.

For Africans to achieve anything meaningful, they need to understand what is going on elsewhere in the world as these serve to shape their lives.

This lack of intelligence is bad, because it leaves the continent unaware of events and shifts that could affect it.

9. Crab Mentality(Unity).


'I dream of the realisation of the unity of Africa, whereby its leaders combine in their effort to solve the problems of this continent.' Nelson Mandela.



If you put several crabs into a bucket, and one of them begins to crawl out, one or more of the other crabs will pull it back down and prevent its escape.

It’s called Crab Mentality. This is a good metaphor for us as Africans to Unite, create strong networks that support each other, ensuring unity of power and purpose.


“If you want to control the people, separate the people and you can rule them. Divide them and you can conquer them.”

8. Corruption.


In many countries you can pay off police officers to ignore any crime, horrific or devastating, it’s just a matter of price.

In Zimbabwea nine-year old girl was raped on her way to school by a man who infected her with HIV. The police initially arrested her attacker, but then released him in secret. The reason, he paid a bribe.

Nearly 75 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa are estimated to have paid a bribe in the past year, some to escape punishment by the police or courts, but many forced to pay to get access to the basic services that they desperately need.

A President/Governor wants to remain in power for ever, why? To embezzle.

A situation where ten people are pocketing Billions of Dollars that are meant to care for Employments, Health care, Housing, Portable water, and well being of over 100,000,000 citizens.

In some countries, if you are not connected you can't get anything good no matter how capable/qualified you are.

7. Media Injustice.


If you have been watching international media, you will realise that they can never depict Africa positively.

Should an African do a great thing, they may run the story but will give credit to another “white man” they claim to have made it possible for the African to achieve his goal.

The negative portrayal international media gives to Africa makes the foreigners think of this great continent as the darkest part of the world.

6. Inadequate Science, Technology, And Engineering Education.


When colonialists invaded Africa, they claimed to bring the good news of education, religion and trade.

Well, they delivered on their promise but not in a manner that could help the indigenous Africans be self-sufficient.

Instead of educating the African child on science and technology, they favored literature and subaltern mindset that would equip graduates with knowledge only good enough to enable them assist these people in running their colonial governments.


Africa has a lot of “talkers”, people with oratory prowess. Now, we don’t need more of those lawyers, sociologists, philosophers, but more scientists and engineers.

The problem is that you can’t develop a country or continent where the majority of people who have the potential to become leaders are raised to be “good subalterns” to be successful.

5. If you take a good look at the African society, you will realize there are two sets of people.

Those known to work their hearts out and still not make a living and those that do very little or nothing and live lavishly.

The first group is made of those who has no contact with “white” people, and the second is made of people who has contact with “white”people.

If you live in Africa or know some African people, make a list of 10 people you know or have heard about who have a “good life” and social privileges. You’ll quickly find out that 90% those who have a good life are people who work for the “white” or with the “white”.

They serve foreign-owned or controlled companies, organizations or foreign NGOs in Africa. They have big houses, nice cars, home servants, and enjoy high social status and privileges.

This group is admired by the young Africans growing, making them believe that they have to serve a ‘white man’ to achieve anything meaningful in life.

4. Endless Conflicts.


Africa is known to be a place where a brother kills a brother and a son kills a father.

You would wonder why people who have lived alongside each other for generations suddenly decide to attack their each other/neighbours.

While the elites tell the world that these conflicts are fueled by ethnic, religion intolerance, they create the ethnic groups themselves.

Look at the unstable African countries where rebels attack the government. Who funds them? Where do they get those sophisticated weapons?

3. Lack Of True Leadership.

In terms of natural resources, Africa is the world's richest continent. It has 50% of the world's gold, most of the world's diamonds and chromium,90% of the cobalt, 40% of the world's potential hydroelectric power, 65% of the manganese, millions of acres of untilled farmland, as well as other natural resources. Yet, despite this vast resource the bulk of African people live as if they were citzens of deserts.

The wisest man ever to walk this earth, King Solomon, said that where knowledge lacks, people perish.

It is obvious that Africans are perishing not for anything but because they lack knowledge. Africa is unique with unique problems and so the knowledge of the west is incompatible with the needs of the continent.

In as much as Africa has brilliant people, they are unable to identify an indigenous system, coach, educate their future leaders to offer the leadership that the continent needs for prosperity.

Africa is not poor, Africa has a leadership problem. For any society to prosper it should have a endogenous system of identifying, training and coaching its future leaders. Some countries do it through their military services, some do it through elite schools, and some others do it through informal coaching and assistance organizations or secret societies.

The main issue about Africa leadership is not the quality of its individuals, but the quality of the group of individuals.

Individually there are lot of brilliant people, but collectively they fail to work together harmoniously on long term vision, and commit with integrity and loyalty to their country or long term vision.

2. International Aid.

If foreign aid would develop any place, Africa will be the most developed continent in the world.

It is hard to find an African country that is debt free and the creditors are the so-called ‘Elite Continents’. The introduction of the International Aid was originally welcomed to get Africa on her feet.
Soon the lenders started controlling African leadership through these Aids. The leaders on the other hand relinquish responsibility to their subjects and behave so irrationally toward their own populations and the basic interest of their countries.

1. Humanitarian organization like UNICEF, and the likes have done more damage to Africa than the marginal positive impact they supposedly have had.

In order to raise money for their operations, they have engaged into a “poverty porn” depicting Africa with the most degrading, and humiliating images.

African people dignity is not something they cared about. The huge billboard and magazines photos showing Africa at its worst now fill the mind of billions of people around the world, and unfortunately those people can’t help but think about Africa only through those images.

(In the same time, those medias won’t show the photo of a dead American or English soldier, because it’s shocking and doesn’t respect human dignity).

It is widely believed that Africa is a poor continent even by the Africans themselves. If that were true, why then did the colonists come?

African countries have some of the most valuable natural resources that form raw materials for the industries responsible for the growth of the developed world yet the people living in Africa are poor. Humanitarian organization such as UNICEF, WHO and Doctors without Boarders among others survive on portraying Africa as a dark poor continent to get funding for their quire operations in the continent.

Africa is not poor. Africa is a rich continent inhabited by poor people. Once we fix the people problem, everything else will fall into place.

Most people, including fellow Africans, they think of the continent as a place where nothing good can come from.

Foreigners have often referred to Africa as a black continent, not because the inhabitants are black but because of the persistent problems emanating from the continent.

However, the problems facing Africa do not arise from nature. The problems are man-made but not by Africans themselves.

Furthermore, the so-called African problems are more of perceptions than the reality on the ground. Until and unless the Africans themselves understand that their problems are created by those they trust to offer help, nothing positive will change for this great continent.

Chittagong Ship Breaking Yard is the largest of its type in the world.

Around 80 active ship breaking yards line an eight-mile stretch of the coast, employing more than 200,000 Bangladeshis and accounting for half of all the steel in Bangladesh.

Ship breaking is the dismantling of ships for scrap recycling. Most ships have a lifespan of a 25-30 years before there is so much wear that repair becomes uneconomical, but the rising cost to insure and maintain aging vessels can make even younger vessels unprofitable to operate.


Hundreds of labourers who risk their lives at the ship-breaking yard earn just £2.25 a day

Culture clash: Different people, different culture.

One year later, face transplant recipient.


Back in 2001, when he was working as a firefighter, Hardison received horrific burns that severely deformed his face.

Strangers would stare, and children would react with fear, he says.

But that all changed in August 2015 when Hardison receivedthe most extensive face transplant ever done.

Now, a year after the transplant, the 42-year-old Mississippi native is able to live a more normal life than he ever thought possible.
