BusinessDonald Trump’s Victory Is Good News For Africa. Here’s Why… by xolocious(op): 9:43am On Nov 30, 2016
Donald J. Trump doesn’t know very much about Africa.
During his campaign, the continent hardly featured at all. One of the few times he ever talked about Africa, he exposed his unfamiliarity, not just with the continent, but with foreign affairs.
In a rare foreign policy speech in April , Trump mispronounced “Tanzania”, one of Africa’s biggest countries, a popular global tourist hotspot, and a leading emerging economy on the continent.
But only a few people are surprised at this. After all, Mr. Trump’s campaign was built on the promise of putting America’s interests first in national security, international diplomacy and global trade. He plans to usher in a new era of isolation in America’s international participation and foreign affairs.
Naturally, there has been an uneasy air of uncertainty across the world since Donald Trump won the presidential elections. You can get a sense of this from the reactions of world leaders chronicled by this article in the Guardian.
And where does Africa stand in all of this?
For several decades, the United States has maintained strategic interests in Africa. Every year, the US provides billions of dollars in foreign aid to Africa, and offers significant support to promote democracy, peace and security on the continent.
To give you some perspective, it’s important to realise how American presidents in recent history have impacted US-Africa relations.
President Bill Clinton introduced a fundamental change to U.S. policy toward Sub-Saharan Africa when he signed the African Growth and Opportunities Act (AGOA) , a landmark free trade deal, in May 2000. The AGOA deal, which has endured until today, has led to significant improvements in economic relations between the USA and Africa.
In 2004, the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)
— an initiative to address the global HIV/AIDS epidemic — was introduced by President George W. Bush. As a direct consequence of this initiative, the number of Africans receiving anti-retroviral medications shot up from 50,000 in 2004, to over 1.2 million by 2008.
With President Barack Obama, it’s the Power Africa Initiative. This landmark and transformative initiative, which is now backed by the Electrify Africa Act 2015 , plans to bring electricity to 50 million people in sub-Saharan Africa by 2020.
But with President Donald J. Trump, Africa should expect nothing. At least, that’s all he has promised so far. Nothing.
Naturally, this sudden change in America’s ‘giving’ attitude could have considerable negative impacts on millions of lives in Africa. Most notably, it could affect access to health care, economic cooperation, peace and security on the continent.
But for some strange reason, while I despise his divisive rhetoric and certainly don’t think he’s the best choice for President of the United States, I agree with Mr. Trump’s position on Africa.
The days of filling Africa’s begging bowl with foreign aid and free lunch should come to an end.
Africa needs to wean itself off the tranquilizing milk of foreign aid. For too long, we have suckled at the bosom of other nations, and thanks to Mr. Trump’s nationalistic ideals, Africa now has a rare opportunity to stand on its own and create a bright and prosperous future for itself.
I have always held the belief that Africa cannot beg its way to prosperity . Our journey to self-reliance, independence and prosperity will not be an easy one, and we must not continue to think that international assistance and foreign aid will make this journey any easier.
Africa needs to bite the bullet, and Mr. Donald Trump has presented us with a golden opportunity.
In the rest of this article, I’ll focus on some of the major areas that a Trump presidency could hit Africa, and how we can make the best of the ‘hard times’ that lie ahead.
Foreign aid
Every year, Africa receives up to $134 billion in loans, foreign investment and development aid. And the United States is always in the top 10 list of givers.
However, according to this eye-opening and scathing report , up to $192 billion is taken out of Africa every year, leaving behind a $58 billion short fall.
It appears that the West is using foreign aid to Africa as a smokescreen to mask the looting of the continent through tax evasion, climate change mitigation, and the flight of profits earned by foreign multinational companies.
So, is Africa really getting any “foreign aid”?
Who is the big fool here?
In fact, Donald Trump only echoes a widely held view by Americans that the US is giving away too much free money by way of foreign aid. An annual poll from the Kaiser Foundation consistently finds that the majority of Americans (up to 56 percent of the population) believes the US spends too much on foreign aid, and that it should be cut.
And as a region that receives up to a third of America’s foreign aid, Africa should be glad that Mr. Trump – and by extension, all of those who voted for him – want America’s so-called foreign aid to stop.
The truth is, Africa really doesn’t need any of this aid. Like the report I shared earlier clearly reveals, foreign aid is only a pretext to take advantage of Africa.
And like Mr. Trump who plans to renegotiate major trade and economic deals that do not favour America – notably with China, Mexico and Canada – Africa needs to start thinking very seriously about all these heartfelt gifts and donations it receives every year from other nations.
In my previous article, Is Africa Still Rising , it’s clear that our continent can transform itself into a global economic super power. With a large and growing domestic market, a youthful population, and abundant business opportunities, it’s no surprise that everybody wants to give ‘foreign aid’ to Africa.
Africa can feed and look after itself.
And if it takes Mr. Trump’s isolationist threats for our continent to realise it has come of age to depend on itself, then I’m glad he was elected president.
Immigration
Immigration is another key issue on Donald Trump’s agenda. He’s been talking tough about deporting over 2 million illegal migrants in the United States.
Without a doubt, thousands of Africans will be affected.
And how is this a good thing for our continent?
You see, no region of the world suffers more from the devastating effects of “brain drain” like Africa. Every year, our continent loses up to 20,000 highly qualified professionals to the West, and the United States remains a top destination.
To corroborate this, United States Census data shows the African migrant population in the US grew from 80,000 in 1970 to over 1.6 million today.
The census data also reveals that African migrants are more educated compared to migrants from other continents: 41% of African migrants have a bachelor’s degree or higher, compared with 28% overall.
By luring Africa’s best and brightest talent – doctors, engineers, academics and other skilled professionals – the West has helped to create a skills shortage crisis that remains one of the biggest obstacles to Africa’s development.
The situation is so serious that Africa as a whole spends up to $4 billion every year on expatriate professionals to fill the human resource gap.
But this doesn’t make any sense. Why should Africa’s brightest minds be contributing to the growth of overseas economies, while back home we’re hiring expatriates for our hospitals, factories and schools?
If Mr. Trump makes good on his promise – which I know he will – the attractiveness of the United States as a glorious haven for skilled African migrants will be significantly diminished. And that will be a blessing for Africa.
As Mr. Trump shuts out migrants from his country so he can make America great again, more skilled African migrants will have no choice but to stay back home on the continent and contribute their talent to Africa’s development.
Donald Trump’s hard stance on immigration, while poorly-conceived and shortsighted, serves Africa’s best interests and we should be thankful for it!
Africa, let’s make the best of this crisis
It’s human nature to dread unexpected change that unsettles the status quo. However, unexpected change often comes with a flurry of opportunities; while it closes some doors, it opens several others.
It’s unfortunate for America that it could be playing a passive role in Africa at a time when China, Korea, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and several other emerging global economic powers are spreading their money and influence across Africa.
The truth is, Africa’s potential shines so bright that it’s difficult to ignore the continent. And Mr. Trump should know this if he is still the astute businessman he says he is.
Interesting times lie ahead as the Donald Trump presidency unravels.
And as long as he sticks to his ‘outrageous’ campaign promises, Africa will win.
This could be our golden chance to make Africa great again.
Let's go, Africa!

I commend you for your prudence in saving up to 100,000k especially as a student even in the midst of economics depression.

I equally commend you for being business minded and not squandering the money or trying to impress your friends and course mate vis-a-vis careless spending and showmanship lol,

However, there are businesses you can invest your money into in Nigeria here and make some cool profit. Personally, I would recommend that you invest the money into foodstuff business.

Foodstuff business is one area that has remain untapped in Nigeria. You can make too much money in this business buying and reselling most sought after food items. This is the business I do and still have much freedom to focus on my academic career cos am also a student like you.

Visit www.foodstuffmillions..com for more details. You can also reach me through my mobile no. 08036611696.
Are you still into the foodstuffs business?
CultureChiefs Arrest Five For Holding Funeral During Oba’s Coronation by xolocious(op): 9:19pm On Oct 23, 2016
Five persons including a musician were arrested on Saturday by palace authorities for holding a burial ceremony during the coronation of the Oba of Benin, Omo n’Oba n’Edo Uku Akpolopkolo, Oba Ewuare II.
It was gathered that they were arrested while the ceremony was ongoing at Uwa Primary School in Oredo Local Government Area of the state.
It was learnt that some chiefs from the Oba’s palace stormed the venue and placed ‘Umenhe’ leaves (palm frond) on the food, drinks and canopies, indicating that an abomination had been committed.
The ‘Umenhe’ leaves also signify a message of no trespass from the Oba.
Many of the guests and family members burial looked surprised and disappointed.
Some of them also gathered in groups discussing the development.
One of those arrested, who identified herself as Josephine Ehimwenma, alleged that they had been given the approval to go ahead with the ceremony by some chiefs, since the main coronation had been completed.
Ehimwenma also claimed that the family members of the deceased were not aware that the ban had not been lifted.
She said, “Three days ago, I went to the palace and I met some chiefs and told them that I have buried my father (and) that I just wanted to entertain friends and well wishers. They said I should go ahead and demanded ‘chop’ money.”
A source in the palace said the family was asked to buy some sacrificial items for cleansing the land.
A member of the Iwebo palace society, Chief Sunday Okhiokpamwonyi, explained that the family would pay a fine and postpone the burial.
“Ewaise and Ogbelaka will tell her what to do to cleanse the land and to save the family,” he added.
Meanwhile, the monarch has promised to ensure peaceful coexistence among the diverse groups in the country.
Oba Ewuare II spoke on Saturday during a special ceremony organised in his honour by the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, at the Oba’s palace in Benin, the Edo State capital.
The monarch was crowned as the 40th Oba of Benin Kingdom on Thursday morning and received his staff of office from Governor Adams Oshiomhole at an elaborate ceremony held at Urho-Okpota hall.

BusinessRe: Rice Importation Through Land Borders Remains Banned by xolocious(op): 8:56am On Oct 09, 2016
JohnNgene:
This is interesting. If this is true, then rice smugglers are indeed desperate. Lol. Or could it be that the government may have leaked out the false news to see how Nigerians will react to it?

I was actually disappointed when I heard of the reversal. Not because I supported the ban in the first place but because a reversal will do too much damage to local investments into rice farming and production.

We need stability in policies more than anything. Stability will attract foreign investors to come to Nigeria and set up rice farms.

Stability will attract a serious investor to either partner with me on my palm plantation here in Enugu or to buy the plantation for N5million and inter-crop it with rice. Agriculture is indeed the future.
you're on point bro.
