HEY. Lesson One. Short paragraphs. Forget what your prose and English teacher taught you. Citizens of the Virtual Republic are much more comfortable with your work if it is written in short paragraphs. Lesson Two. Citizens have got a memory like the proverbial elephant, therefore short paragraphs or most will just skip your posts and or threads if they see your handle. That or go away.

Cant imagine sparkly jr logging in to wazua and claiming to be so, if sparkly isnt my name. @sparkly, Mkeiyd is not my real name and my being on wazua is not a secret to the people around me. Going by @young's previous posts thru' the years, i don't think he's up to any evil. @mkeiyd What i dont understand is why a Wazuan would go overboard in defending another Wazuan, they have never met. When they speak of "previous posts thru the years" but Wazua shows the handle was created in March 2012! Who is kidding who? @sparkly, if you check @mkeiyd, that account was created this year yet i've been on this forum since 2008.Passwords get forgotten n new accounts are created. But if you read my posts and read all my other accounts, you would find consistency. That's what establishes one's character.Read the current @young's post n the previous ones, the consistency is there. Back to the issue. Diligence and discipline should be taught to the young ones day n night.

Lets wait. My friend swallow your retrogressive, myopic and primitive reasoning that do not hold any water, learn to change with changing times instead of beating about the bush. Learn to say I am sorry and eat the humble pie, that is maturity in 21st century terms instead of mean propaganda Honest, I can seem to find any reason why a dad and a son can be on this site, that doesn't mean you shouldn't use internet or technology. By the way your vocabularies are too hard for me, so take it slow old man. But I am still convience that you two are upto no good, before we know you'll be selling a scam around here, I don't think Danny is your son, I think you're Danny and Danny is you!  Trying to 'run-away' are you? (Un)Honorably?  @Young, let him be  . He has gotten the point. Alot of Kenyan business passed down to the next generation fail. Why? Lack of mentorship. I'd want my son(s) to know what I do and how I do it. Heck, they might even have better ideas. Not only will I get into the same sites, we'll go to the same places and challenge each other while we are at it. Walk the walk, together. Well said. Though i should add that the concept of business mentorship is alien to most Kenyans and this is why most are puzzled by the growing economic weight of our Asian brothers. I wonder where we lost it, since apprenticeship was widely practiced by our ancestors. @Danny Young, they lack the entrepreneurship spirit probably due to the shortage of good role models and mentorship opportunities.

You guys still listen to Danny? Youth across the world are not enterprenual, infact a few people in the world can actually claim to be Enterpreneual. Just to contradict Danny more, African youth are more likely to start a business than American or European youth.

In Africa, the youth are expected to help their parents and elders who in most cases are on the verge of breaking down from life's pressures.
This has generally led to an authoritarian culture that may fail to breed the kind of entrepreneur that Say was talking about.
But when you walk around the slums you will see children dragging magnets on the ground as they walk, children searching for coins in streams and ditches, . . .
When the children grow taller, they start snatching and robbing. And before they get to be twenty five they are dead and buried.
So, is the entrepreneurial spirit absent? No. I don't think so. Youth is entrepreneurial in nature.
The problem is the culture advocated by the 'old folks'.

@ wakanyugi I believe the main reasons why there is a jobless growth despite the economic growth is because most African economies are mono-economies. If I were President of Africa, I will focus on: 1. Diversified economies which will include non-resource sectors such ad telecommunications, trade, etc 2. Provide incentives to youths such as social security or soft SME loans with low interest. 3. Improve research facilities for entrepreneurial innovations and encourage private partnership with the govenment because sincerely....the government cannot do it all alone.
