[QUOTE]Originally posted by africurious: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Firewall: [qb] It DOES NOT MATTER HOW MANY POSTIVE THREADS or post about africa these guys just ignored and jump on bad news and outdated and incorrect news all time about africa. I did not read lamin or doug post and anything i did read was very little because i could not take it,because i know it will be bad and incorrect info,but mena7, africurious , Son of Ra , zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova and Brada-Anansi have much more balanced views,and that's all i am asking when it come to modern africa. The problem lamin and doug have is that they always see the glass half empty and never half full.I COULD NVER BE AROUND FOLKS LIKE THAT IN REAL LIFE. They never have hope for the future of blacks,and that' the wrong way to see you future. [/qb][/QUOTE]I wouldn't say it's that folks like doug and lamin necessarily lack hope on the future of africa but they do not follow it's economics in depth, aside from maybe reading a few newspaper articles. That will not do. One has to read business/economic newspapers (such as the Economist) at a minimum and business/economic journals and academic sources to get a good idea of economic reality. Even the venerable NY Times is often inadequate in terms of economics. My academic background is business so I have a greater understanding of economics than most on this forum and it's very easy to tell when someone doesn't know much about economics. If you look at the posts of folks like doug on this forum it's just eye-catching instances of negative snapshots while what you posted are actually a comprehensive assessments of the overall economic situation in africa. Those who are open to knowlegde instead of victimhood will gain from what you've posted. [QUOTE] Africa is benefits more from china then china then benefits from africa now.I READ africa had a trade surplus with china. Africans are building up their infrastructure too not just china HELPING.[/QUOTE]I have to disagree with you here. Having a trade surplus with a country doesn't automatically mean you gain more from them than they from you. This is especially so in africa's case with china because the reason for the surplus is that china's economy is bigger than africa's and is growing at much faster rate which requires them to buy vast quantities of raw materials from africa, while africa's economy is smaller and growing less rapid so they have less $s to buy chinese goods as well as chinese goods have more competition than africa's commodities do. I have not read enough on the topic to say whether one is gaining more than the other but I do know that at least they are both gaining. [QUOTE] quote- Son of Ra Portuguese people are even moving to Angola in waves due to Portugals bad economy [/QUOTE]And I must strongly disagree with the implication of the quote above. That quote from Son of Ra is misguided. The portugese are going to angola because they can get jobs there, yes, but that is because angolans themselves are not filling these jobs because the population doesn't have enough educated and skilled ppl to fill the positions (which is the fault of the gov't and the long civil war). The ppl in angola who are getting rich now are those in gov't/ connected to gov't officials and foreigners who come to do high paying skilled jobs or start businesses that serve foreign expats in angola. The avg angolan would love to move to portugal (or elsewhere in euro) so they can get better jobs to support their fam. I am hoping that the angolan gov't really invests in education and infrastructure and not let the angolan masses remain impoverished like in equatorial guinea. [/QB][/QUOTE]
