Intellectual property rights.

Nothing like that in Africa leave alone Kenya. Pretty much the govt owns your stuff in the name of national interests but if people were given fair playing grounds like their counterparts on the West, do you think large multinational companies would set up shops in Nairobi??

In fact, for those who got ideas, forget about registering the idea in Africa, register it in the West because you are better protected, you own your idea and can sue the crap out of them but who the hell are you gonna go after in Africa??

I will expound on this idea and many more later on when I got time.

Plates, cups, spoons: Silver, bronze and brass. The nonsense that is made out of steel and aluminum is crap and unhealthy. Start ordering them plates.

Copper, gold, platinum, silver together with other herbs are used to cure cancer, hepatitis, diabetes, arthritis, purification of the blood, etc etc. Koka Shastra is the book, (not 129 or 179 page one, the 1000 plus page.

The bible is Africa for those who still think Jesus is white. Start asking people from other parts of Africa what their customs and traditions are, their beliefs of where they came from then you'll be surprised.

Its all just a game.

Learn how to stand on your own two feet, not the third artifical one.


If I had Silver/Bronze plates and cups I'd need serious security, Mobutu style. So you are saying stainless steel is unhealthy?

And Africa is not poor but we are fast getting there courtesy of the west. We have all the fertile land, the fresh air and sunshine, healthy food and beleifs which are fast getting swallowed by concrete, steel, plastic, weapons and confused beleifs of what are the important things in life!

Thought I'd share this from a lecture we had on psychology and the power of the mind

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bWlTZZN3DY

There's also this Stanford experiment where Standford students volunteered to play the role of prisoner and guard, and how quickly they accepted and lived upto what they were told was their worth

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih8NfDPtWSU

The moment Africans realize the power of the mind and guard it from being polluted, thats when they will realize their full potential.

Someone said we are poor because our good climate inhibits growth. The harsh weather in the West forced them to be innovative and advanced in thought.

African weather poor? Clearly that person is not well-travelled..

Africa is poor because of lack of urbanization. Urbanization leads to creation of industries and systems which lead to progress. Not too long ago most people in Africa were living in isolated villages in the middle of nowhere speaking their own languages, having little contact with their neighbors.
Also there's the problem of perhaps African culture promoting emotional hyperactivity rather than logical thought. Even in Kenya today as we watch elections, the majority of the people are voting based on some ridiculous basis e.g. tribe which lacks basis in logical thought.
Africans also tend to be much greedier and want to unreasonably accumulate wealth at all costs compared to other cultures. A story is told about an African and an Asian who both went to Oxford University to study Civil Engineering. Many years later they visited each other. The Asian took the African to his mansion which had two mercedes benz parked outside. The African asked the Asian where the mercedes came from and he pointed to the road and said, see that road? 10%. When they visited the African, he had a humongous mansion with ten mercedes benz. The Asian guy asked him where the money had come from and he pointed to the dirt road outside. See that no road? 100%.

Africa (Blacks)are poor due to many varying factors. I came across this contrarian blog that is very thought provoking and seems to share some of my sentiments. Hope you enjoy reading it

If there is a God, then the history of Africa is the story of God's most cruel joke on mankind.

you cant see the numerous times she has called me names.


The only name/thing I have called you here is a simple mind which is not insult but one of the biggest FACTS on earth!!

Just to prove my point..

1. "Just because a few people/countries are against a suspect those people support RAO" - Nabwire

2. "A CFA can be employed as a receptionist" - Nabwire

3. "Facebook is under/fairly valued" - Nabwire smile

4. "Screw sanctions, screw the west, screw the ICC" - Nabwire

but to mention a few...

Back to the thread!



First, I have never read anything by guru267 and I think Nabwire is smart since I have read some of her comment but sometime she makes some outrageous statements that makes me wonder.

Second, there is nothing wrong with guru267 dream of ending up in Wallstreet because no matter where she got her degree it is possible to make it to Wallstreet. Assume that, Guru267 went ahead and earn a CFA,have good grades ,score 700+ in GMAT and have some experience, any top 10 MBA programs will most likely admit her and therefore a ticket to summer associate program at one of the firms and 96% chance of a fulltime associate position in 2yrs. Infact guru267 have high chance than most students in state universities and no name schools across USA. Makerere University or University of Nairobi sound hell better than Kansas state univesity to college admission boards trust me!

Guru267, but you might wanna tone down your expectation about being Goldman CEO, if you are not on your way to VP at 26yrs then there is no way you'll make it to a CEO in a fortune 100 company. I have been through 2 wallstreet firms already, and I can tell you that the guy sitting on your left is smarter than the guy sitting on your right atleast by what they have accomplished but I have no doubt that you will make it to Goldman if you want to. Here are the programs that will give you atleast 96% chances: MBA from any of the top 6 business schools, MIT masters in Finance, University of Chicago Master in financial Mathematic, University of Michigan masters in financial engineering, princeton, masters in Finance, NYU global masters in Finance, LSB masters in Finance, Stanford masters in finance math, UNC MF.... if you can get to these programs, i don't see a reason why you cannot make it to wallstreet.

Yes! CFA is nothing unless you back it up with something else and yes there is no way you can make it to wallstreet with your no name school, infact no one will read your resume even if you have had an A since you got out of your mama's P***y, if you don't believe me just visit any of the top 10 wallstreet firms' career website in the middle of your application there is a drop down box with names of the schools, if your school is not there, you choose others and then a box appears and you type the school you graduated from, if you choose others, everything else is just an exercise!
