The world remembers Malala Yousafzai survived being shot by the Taliban and could have died simply for wanting to go to school.

We forget that she also survived having her country bombed by America and could have died simply because America has an insatiable thirst for war.

Something that could not happen during Gadaffi's Era, I believe the west have won by turning Libya into another piece of garbage ground.

Good for the people of Libyans that have brought demise on their country

by 2017?

We are waiting for the committee to verify the authenticity of the biometric machine

It’s 3pm on a crisp August afternoon in Johannesburg. Tsitsi Masiyiwa is seated on a comfy couch in a makeshift living room at her elegant office in the leafy suburbs of Dainfern, north of the city. I meet her when she is in a deep conversation with a South African journalist and one of her office employees. I sit down to join the conversation and Masiyiwa recounts a fascinating story.

The year was 1996 and Masiyiwa and her husband, Strive Masiyiwa, were almost penniless. The couple was going through a rough patch, and they were struggling to feed themselves and their children.

“We were so broke. We couldn’t even afford to give our visitors tea,” Tsitsi Masiyiwa says in retrospect. “We were practically living from hand to mouth.”

But things hadn’t always been this way. Just a couple of years before, Strive Masiyiwa owned a thriving business. He had founded Retrofit Engineering, an electrical contracting firm that handled lucrative construction contracts for the government and had built a considerable fortune. But his fortunes reversed in 1993 when he decided to establish Zimbabwe’s first independent mobile telecoms network to rival the government-owned telecommunications company.

At the time, the Zimbabwean Post & Telecommunications Corporation (PTC) was the sole provider of telecommunication services in Zimbabwe. When Masiyiwa expressed his interest in acquiring a mobile operating license and launching a substitute mobile telecoms network, the government threatened to prosecute him if he dared to pursue his plans. The Zimbabwean authorities denied him a license. Refusing to bow to intimidation, he took the government to court, challenging the government’s monopoly on telecommunications and seeking the rights to operate a mobile phone company in Zimbabwe. It was a landmark case that lingered for close to five years, eventually finding its way to the Supreme Court.

“Our problems began when we sued the government,” Masiyiwa recollects. “You cannot sue the government and think things will always be right.”

During that period, the government, which was Retrofit’s biggest client, immediately called off its existing contracts with the firm. It had disastrous consequences for Strive Masiyiwa. Within months, he could hardly afford to pay salaries and he finally had to sell off the company’s assets to finance Econet’s legal battles against the government. Before long, the Masiyiwas’ funds had dried up, and they were on their wits end.

“So we were broke. In trying to understand what was going on around me, I began to do an intensive soul searching. Then I prayed to God and made a deal with him. I told God that if he granted us the license to operate the mobile phone company in Zimbabwe- and he made us successful, then I will help support as many poor people as possible for as long as I lived,” Tsitsi Masiyiwa recalls.

Tsitsi Masiyiwa, a deeply religious woman, took a step of faith along with her husband. “We went ahead and registered Capernaum Trust, a charity that we decided would give scholarships to needy children. It was an unpractical thing to do at the time, especially considering the fact that we had nothing. But as a Christian, you do unreasonable things,” she enthuses.

God probably answered her prayer because in December 1997 the Zimbabwean Supreme Court awarded Econet Wireless a license to set up a mobile telecoms company in Zimbabwe. The Supreme Court ruled that the government’s monopoly on telecommunications was in violation of a provision in country’s constitution that allowed for freedom of communication.

But this problem is not from Jonathan now? It should be traced back to all our leaders who turned deaf ears and send their children to study in universities abroad.

I believe the only way to clean Nigeria is for everyone to take off religion and tribalism. Let us see ourselves beyond borders.

The decay in Nigeria is too much that even Jonathan is confused on how to get them fixed.

Nigeria still have a very long way to go

Karma is a Bitch. She is catching up with them all one by one.

Now, they cannot travel by road, by air and by water. They need to device another means or stay indoor.

Foolish people.

All bunch of criminals. Have he given 50% of his salary to the poor? What have he done to elevate his church members from poverty?

i guess he is another pot calling kettle Black.

But last time i checked, i believe they all work under the same corporation and agenda

This man is not just clueless, his brain is blank. I know he is only a puppet of the West to depopulated Nigeria. He is another cia agent, reading some stupid scripts given to him by his grand master.

This is what you get when you try to ignore things that really matter based on religion

This joker keeps proving he is indeed a retardeen. He needs to save his head first from pdp before thinking of capturing south west. We do not need him here as yorubas are wiser now.

Divide and rule cannot work here. Mimiko is a bastards and will learn his lesson soon, as for ladoja, no comment and ogd? Last time I checked he is supposed to be smelling in jail

Why will I be ashamed when it provides the service I needed it for.

On the go is access my mail, reply mail, Skype on go, even conference video call.

I am not stupid to dash out big money for names.

I love my n3

Dont believe the mainstream media anymore. Lots of false flags recently

Can this truly be a joke? It is 6.21 am let me go back to sleep

Good I am in support of it. In short jail them as well, bloody bastards claiming freedom of will and expression

DailyNews: My dear brother, goodmorning and read this:

Why can't America do same in Germany, France, Italy, China, Japan, etc, why always Middle East and Africa Why why why

Let's stop chasing the wind. Let's stop fighting the wrong enemy here...African/Middle East enemies are:

1. Lack of visionary leaders/citizens, yes, bad citizens later make up the leaders, so let the citizens who aren't leading already stop making noise cos they would do worse when they become leaders too...that's africa and middle east for u

2. Due to point number 1. above, Africa and Middle East are poorly developed, poverty is the second name of their citizens....their economy is dependent on natural resources and they depend hugely on importation from western nations and u want to fight western nations, jokers

3. Due to point number 1. and 2. above, Africa and Middle East lack technological advancement, especially black african nations....they depend solely on western technology yet they condemn western nations and feel they can condemn or fight them with their arrows, bows and bare hands, I call them jokers

The above points are the greatest enemy of the africans they need to condemn, fight and drive away first before condemning western nations because if not for western technology and intelligence, Seun wouldn't have known anything about internet to talk of creating a forum to enable u and i to rub minds like we are doing.

Without this same western nations we are condemning, most of us here would have ended up cave men and women in our respective hamlets I don't expect u guys to agree with me but those that know understand.

Some of u are even living or will I say sojourning in a western country and still condemning western nations....that's hypocrisy, change

Russia is as good as the devil when it comes to global peace, advancement and what have u and they need to be silenced, how? I don't know yet....

Russians are the number one racist nation, so how will a racist make a policy that would benefit other nations that aren't his own nationals?

Russians are pirates, thieves....bloody corrupt people and they are deadly....

Russians hate blacks but some ignorant blacks are agitating for Russian power and supporting Russian policies that's filled with corruption, racism and nepotism.

Agreed America have their shortcomings, but u can never compare it to that of Russians.

And by the way, what is America America is simply the world. How?

We have Blacks, Red Indies, Asians, Carribeans, Caucassians, Jews, Arabs, Whites, etc as Americans, so America can never be as deadly as a racist nation like Russia....because they have all races inside America...

My friend you claimed America is not as bad as Russia when it comes to racism? What about our brothers and sisters murdered daily in us till date? I don't think you followed the case of travon Martin, the black teenager murdered in cold blood a few to mention. Racism still exist and not only in Russia, even in Africa here and nigeria a typical example. Oh well call it tribalism here right.

There is no moral justification America can justify themselves with all their evil deeds in as much as their works speaks for them.

How many red Indians were killed in America and their lands were taken from them. The earlier you realise that the greatest enemy of human freedom is America.

Even the Boko haram menace in Nigeria have been traced to them.

I have more confidence in Russia than obama's America.

Thanks

Symphony007: dearly beloved, i am not here to hold brief for anyone. The united states has done evil things and continue to, example, the iraq war and many others, they don't care, they are protecting their interest. Henry kisinger made it clear that the number one priority of the u.s is their interest. "no permanent friends, no permanent enermies, only permanent interest"....but russia a country that has done worse to protect it's own interest has no right lecturing the u.s on human rights when it has truck loads of journalist and political dissidents in it's prisons. It is an insult to my intelligence for putin to tell me that all human's are equal, yet he jails some for being gay, jails some for opposing him politically, jail journalist for being critical of him. Were all those people not created equal? It is just wrong, putin is not so glued to syria because he is a humanitarian. He has interest there and he has to guard it. It's as simple as that.

Finally, indeed there are some terrorist fighting on the side of the rebels just as terrorist hezbollah is fighting on the side of the government. But the extremist were'nt always part of the rebels, the initial rebels were syrians who saw what went down in egypt, tunisia, libya,etc and decided that the assad farmily which has ruled them for over 40 years must fall. As the war ragged on and the government superior machinery dessimated them, terrorist groups infiltrated to prop up the rebels, but there are still the good, original rebels. That is why there is infighting in the opposition between them and the extreamist.

Goat goat goat. I have been quiet all day watching the thread but I was forced to comment again. Is it not insane to talk about gay or accuse putin for not legalizing gay? I guess you are one of them or your were born via gay partners.

Russia is a religious country regardless what the West portrays it to be.

The war in Syria was hijacked by the West as a result of their interest. There was a meeting in Syria where syrians requested for reforms for some improvement in their lives. Majority of syrians love assad and never asked him to step down.

You have been brainwashed with cnn, BBC etc just as much as you have been brainwashed with white supremacy and hat America is the almighty. How will I trust a government that sniff into my affairs, how will I trust a government that that claims they back human right but they do not practice what they preach. No wonder Snowden said Americans are the biggest fools because they are been brainwashed and lied to by their government until they started realising it. Now majority of Americans see it that they have the devil as their government. I want you to stop reading the mainstream media, they are owned by the same Devils and criminal.

Get your facts right before making any post or comment

Symphony007: you idiocy is bloody...did i ever argue that america was a saint? But you are deliberately ignoring putin's criminality. You are a fool to think that russia is an alternative to america or china were they carry out forced arbotions and spend more money policing their citizens internally than defending the nation externally is an alternative to america. Obama's love of peace is what has caused goats like you and lavrov to insult him. If john mccain were u.s president or george bush was still in office, they would have bombed russia and no one will do shit. Russia opposed iraq war with all it's might, what did they do when america invaded? America is requesting the repartration of edward snowden to stand trial for whistle blowing but russia did'nt need to do that. They sneaked into london and poisoned vladimir kiscov on his hospital bed for whistleblowing. Maybe i should follow ur advice and stop talking to fools like you.

Go and face your book, the whole world is fast realising that America is not credible to deal with. Their news and reports are also false. There is no way you can prove to me that Obama is a lover of Peace after the Arab Spring, After his so called Kenyan brother was tied to the formation of Islamic Brotherhood. I think you do not understand anything about international war fare and also White Supremacy.

Go and face your book. No point commenting on this post anymore

But Hahahaha chain, Nigeria is truly the den of thieves.

I laughed and almost cracked my rib, chinu achebe fela gani fawehinmi, rest in peace to all of you.

Wow there was a country indeed, zombie country in deed, Nigeria is truly a mumu Kingdom. How on earth can these thieves think they can keep deceiving us, we'll I am not falling for such scam again. Out of millions of youths and graduates jobless they only allocate 10k to 3000 youths that are connected to them. It will never will well with all of them.

Time out

Symphony007: amatuerish..how many war has putin started? How much weapons and surface to air missles has putin sent to assad for him to kill his own people? This article is a heavy blow to putin's gut. He thinks he can wake one morning and become a global peacemaker..well. Someone has got to remind him of all the skelentons in his closet.

Goons is what you are and no point trying to argue with you. What message can a government that have been spying on its citizens and fellow allies tell me and try to get trust from their citizens again. You have been brainwashed all these while with the Western propaganda. This is the worst times for America, power is shifting from them on the UN council because of Obama. Assad said Obama is weak, lavarov said Obama is like a monkey holding a grenade. Why haven't they strike Syria all these while? Why is Obama punishing whistle blowers in us for exposing them and their evil act. I don't that such government need me to trust them anymore. The world have now seen the bigger picture of who the real enemy is. Why is even your president trying to align with Russia and China? Many African presidents are now running to China and Russia. Sit down there blabbing, no worries your president will come back to ASUU issue.

There is a proverb that never argue with stupid people because they will bring you down to their level and defeat you with they experience in stupidity.

I rest my case, I only advise you to read more about international wars that have happened in the past, who the real perpetrators are and also read about false flags.

Mccain is only trying to come out clean. Russians trust Putin, he loves his country and he is ready to die for his country

No pint reading the letter from a war monger mccain and Obama are on the same sides of the coin

End time tinz when an ordinary minister of education is threatening a governor, end time tinz when a governors is a threat to a president.

Na wah 2014 fast approaching really end time tinz for Nigeria

i think you guys need to grab this movie (Hidden Colors 2- The Triumph of Melanin (2012) Documentary) it is a great documentary about the black race

Republic of Benin, Mali, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Liberia, Cote-De-Ivoire, Congo ete

reganvida: I see no reason why a terrorist group like al qaeda will b regarded as a false flag. Going by d interests of d US that such group has attacked on several occasions,i think its unthinkable to assume dat the CIA in some way sponsors this group.

Attack where and who? you still dont believe in false flag? The world is a very organised stage where the media have been used to manipulate the minds of civilians.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQgEgW5KfsI

That is another link on youtube.

The world is a very big stage.

There are lots of false flag reported by the main stream media. Majority are staged which why i do not believe the CNN, BBC anymore

Check the link below for more

I can also send you more if you wish

Karma is catching up with them all one by one. How can all the funds stolen save him? He dies, ain't my business.

I don't wish him quick recovery because there should be no peace for the wicked and curse is in the house of thieves

The same alqaeda that is been sponsored and financed by cia, that is a false flags to divert the attention of the public again.

Can't fall for false flags anymore

Politic stunt, preparing for 2015. The street light between isheri-lasu have been installed since 2003 and ever since it have been switched on four times till date which have been only when they were installed.

Nigerians need to wake up

This is where we will find you insincere9gerian.

What do you have to say about your confused paymaster who is now been foolishly kicked out of PDP?

What do you have to say about your confused master whose world is all falling on him?

You are just as confused as your leader. You better go get another job.

Hypocrisy what as fasting have to do with war, is it not to call your war mongering leaders to table.

I no ddy fast, some gullible people will fall for the scam. Do you know how much $$$$ have been transferred into their account as a result of their rumours of war

Now it is getting interesting. Obama have lost his political integrity if he does not strike Syria, Obama have lost his political integrity if his strike on Syria get the US into a devastating situation.

Only US warship we have on Mediterean sea, how about the blabbing frog called Hollande? The UN G20 members are already divided, the majority of the south american countries are in support of Assad.

I think Obama drew the red-line for himself.

When Lavrov (Russian Foreign Minister) labelled him as a monkey holding a grenade, some people might actually see it as a racial statement, but know, it is a fact of what the Americans have placed in the white house.

What a shame, Obama is finished, Face China and Russia, China's Economy is strong enough to go into war with you, End game is a nuclear weapon, North Korea already anahilated you.

I am only pitying Nigerians who have just gotten to US on visa Lottery, please come back home. Britain have called Cameron into order, Cyprus is just a military base, they are in strong alliance with Russia along with Greece

I need to get a pop-corn making machine in my house now to star making some pop-corn to eat as i sit back to watch the wide screen. Thank God i have no family in US at the moment

Can these idiots keep shut for once? I think this is a Joke, now ASUU demand can cripple Nigerian Economy? But your outrageous Salaries cannot cripple the federal government.

Men Nigeria have fallen into the wrong hands. Into the hands of those who now conclude 16 is greater than 19 What a shame
