Politics / Africa: What Are Possible Strategies For Developing Africa? by mafiacent(m): 8:27pm On Sep 19, 2012
This Question was posted on Quora and J.C. Hewitt, Internet Economist gave a very insightful view on the question. Since many won't visit Quora or for other reasons might not get to see this, I have decided to post it here for all to read.

It is a big issue. Just feeding Africa - doesn't solve anything. we have hungry,diseased unfortunate uneducated people with no future. If we solve hunger we will have just diseased, unfortunate, uneducated people with no future. On its own, this doesn't solve anything really.

So what are the COMPLETE strategies that can slowly INCREASE standard of living in Africa and uplift this continent to a level where it can actually contribute to the world on the scale they really can.

Africa isn't an object that's passively waiting for you to 'develop it.'

African development will only occur when people stop asking the question "how can we develop Africa" and start asking the question "what are outsiders doing to block or impede economic progress in Africa?"

The truth is that charity and foreign aid tend to smother the development of nascent market economies. When you send thousands of tons of 'free' food to African countries, you bankrupt local farmers, replace trade networks with aid bureaucracies, and make populations of millions dependent on the misguided good will of others.

Foreign aid also disproportionately ends up in the hands of oppressive governments, empowering tyrants.

The link in Michael Wolfe's answer to The Economist article reflecting this perspective shows just how much closer to reality that Western commentary has progressed in the last half-decade.

Africa isn't a place to go to for you to 'save' and 'develop' so that you can impress people at parties and burnish your college applications.

There are certainly a lot of problems in Africa that aren't related to Westerners. However, if you're concerned about economic progress in Africa, it's best to first examine your own culture first, because you have more of a capability to impact it.

This change in ideas underlying Western relations with Africa may herald a great improvement in material conditions on the continent over the next several years.

Culture begets material advancement and not the other way around. The central error of most development and aid projects is the belief that ideas are irrelevant, and that progress can come from donated capital.

My favorite book on this topic is The White Man's Burden by New York University professor William Easterly.

Here's the synopsis from Amazon:

An informed and excoriating attack on the tragic waste, futility, and hubris of the West's efforts to date to improve the lot of the so-called developing world, with constructive suggestions on how to move forward.

William Easterly's The White Man's Burden is about what its author calls the twin tragedies of global poverty. The first, of course, is that so many are seemingly fated to live horribly stunted, miserable lives and die such early deaths. The second is that after fifty years and more than $2.3 trillion in aid from the West to address the first tragedy, it has shockingly little to show for it. We'll never solve the first tragedy, Easterly argues, unless we figure out the second.

The ironies are many: We preach a gospel of freedom and individual accountability, yet we intrude in the inner workings of other countries through bloated aid bureaucracies like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank that are accountable to no one for the effects of their prescriptions. We take credit for the economic success stories of the last fifty years, like South Korea and Taiwan, when in fact we deserve very little. However, we reject all accountability for pouring more than half a trillion dollars into Africa and other regions and trying one "big new idea" after another, to no avail. Most of the places in which we've meddled are in fact no better off or are even worse off than they were before. Could it be that we don't know as much as we think we do about the magic spells that will open the door to the road to wealth?

Absolutely, William Easterly thunders in this angry, irreverent, and important book. He contrasts two approaches:

(1) the ineffective planners' approach to development-never able to marshal enough knowledge or motivation to get the overambitious plans implemented to attain the plan's arbitrary targets and

(2) a more constructive searchers' approach-always on the lookout for piecemeal improvements to poor peoples' well-being, with a system to get more aid resources to those who find things that work. Once we shift power and money from planners to searchers, there's much we can do that's focused and pragmatic to improve the lot of millions, such as public health, sanitation, education, roads, and nutrition initiatives. We need to face our own history of ineptitude and learn our lessons, especially at a time when the question of our ability to "build democracy," to transplant the institutions of our civil society into foreign soil so that they take root, has become one of the most pressing we face.

Music/Radio / Nnena Omali - Nigeria's Afrocentric Revelation ! by mafiacent(m): 8:06am On Sep 17, 2012
Nnena Omali is a world/afro fusion artist. She graced Modenine's acclaimed "Cry" single and subsequently released the alternative ballad "Oluchi" in the year 2007 clinching a Sound City Music Video Awards (SMVA) nomination at the 2008 edition. She's also an avid writer and a columnist.I wonder why a talented musician like her still needs introduction.

We bring you two of her songs, Palava is a more recent effort and she really comes through on both songs.

Foreign Affairs / Innocence Of Muslims: The Controversial Movie Responsible For Recent Protests by mafiacent(m): 11:52pm On Sep 14, 2012
Movie Responsible for Recent Protests & Riots

Anti-US protests by crowds whipped into fury by a film that mocks Islam erupted across the Muslim world on Friday, as violence exploded in Sudan, Lebanon, Tunisia and Yemen leaving five dead and dozens injured. I want to believe we all have heard about the Riots and Protests, Here is the Trailer of the Controversial Movie

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAiOEV0v2RM
(This Video is for informative purposes only, It is not an endorsement of any kind)

Has anyone seen the whole film?
The 14-minute video circulating on the internet is in fact a preview of what is believed to be a feature-length film made by Sam Bacile. But does this really exist? The only evidence of the film ever being screened publicly comes from Steve Klein, a consultant, who says it was shown once at a cinema on Sunset Boulevard earlier this summer. “I got there about a half-hour before the movie started and stayed a half-hour after it started,” Klein told Bloomberg Businessweek, “and I saw zero — nada, none, no people — go inside.”

What is it about?
The film claims to tell the true story of the Prophet Mohammed, depicting him as “as a homosexual son of undetermined patrimony, who rises to advocate child slavery and extramarital sex, for himself, in the name of religion”, according to the Wall Street Journal. The Prophet is shown leading a group of followers as they destroy Christian homes. Although the characters are Egyptian, they speak with strong New York accents.

Who is Sam Bacile?
The video was originally posted on the internet by Sam Bacile, who claimed to be the film-maker. He told the Wall Street Journal that he was a 52-year old Israeli real-estate development living in California. After his story aroused suspicion, the Associated Press discovered that ‘Sam Bacile’ was in fact Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, a Coptic Christian activist in southern California who is on probation after a conviction for financial crimes. Nakoula is known to have assumed at least 12 different pseudonyms in the past, including Matthew Nekola, Nicola Bacily, and even P.J. Tobacco. He is now under police protection in his California home.

Did Bacile/Nakoula direct the film?
Although Nakoula originally claimed to have directed The Innocence of Muslims, the casting call for the film listed the director as Alan Roberts. Although some have suggested that this is also a pseudonym, a director of the same name is listed on IMDB.com with credits including the 1977 soft-porn film Young Lady Chatterley. But the film crew said the man had little experience. According to Eric Moer, production electrician, “He was a directorial hack, he didn’t know basic things. It was very unprofessional”.

What do the actors have to say?
The cast have expressed horror at the eventual cut, claiming they were duped into thinking they were acting in a film called Desert Warrior. Speaking to Al Arabiya on condition of anonymity, one actor said that the film was “defamatory” while another said they were shocked to have been part of “something so dirty and disgusting”. They have claimed that the film went through heavy edits in post-production, adding in offensive references to the Prophet Mohammed that did not appear in the original script. A quick flick through the 14-minute reel does indeed suggest that a good deal of dubbing has been added. When the name Mohammed is spoken, actors are either off-screen or appear to be saying something different.

Did the film really cost $5m?
Nakoula has claimed that the production had a budget of $5 million, raised from 100 Jewish donors. This has been contested. Jimmy Israel, a realtor linked to the film, told Buzfeed that the budget was in fact $100,000. However, an expert from a leading London post-production agency believes that these figures are “absurd”. He told Al Arabiya: “A resourceful student could have made this YouTube video for a few thousand dollars. Even paying through the nose I can’t imagine it costing more than $40,000.” One actor claimed to have been paid $75 for the day while an actress said that her day fee was $100.
