A look into West Africa

[Master Zik]

They eating dirt cookies too? I saw some special on Haiti in BBC and some things I read in The Lucifer Effect were confirmed.

Crazy how that continent has so much high quality raw materials and the ppl can not benefit from it.

Well aesthetically West Africa is nice...although I couldn't handle the heat. I agree the title is misleading, because most West African countries are not plagued with this degree of poverty, violence an suffering.

Sierra Leone and Liberia are

If anyone interested in my friend's pops is a pretty well known photographer of black life and is doing shooting in Dakar right now. I am sure he'll put some photos up when he returns. Here are some from his other African trips + website.

Just wanted to reiterate that this is not representative of all of West Africa. Thx for clearing that up Haze. People need to do more and travel more to gain an understanding of the world outside of the media lens. The poverty nor the beauty can be truly appreciated until you see it for yourself. You'll be thankful for everything you have...and then realize that you don't need any of it.

Excellent posts Huey

Somewhat off-topic, you inspired me to post my own pictures of Africa's beauty. Here is Kenya, which is East Africa.
You'll see pics of Nairobi (big city), rural area, coast, Mt Kiliminjaro, and other random stuff. I can't find my pictures of the safari, but that would def be the best part.

Evil and mental corruption....THE IRONY

.YOU HAVEN'T LEARNED ANYTHING FROM ME HAVE YOU.



I could go on a rant about how Africa is the most evil and corrupt place on the planet.....but I'll refrain from it.


I'm sorry but

Son suggested I move to Africa to purge my life of evil and corruption. I feel like people don't judge other based on actions anymore......you should be smart enough to know what my stance is on morality and evil by now.


People like you....don't care what your religion is but IMO you're no different from bible thumping Christians. You look at people's ideologies as evil solely because they are different from yours and you go as far as to ignore all good that said person you disagree with contributes to society.


Same reason Tim Tebow is focusing on preventing abortions rather than campaigning for service to humanity, humanitarian endeavors, ending war, poverty, violence, alleviating the pain of the living ETC. People like yourself only care about the absurd!!!!


Afrocentricism, Eurocentricism,  sex-roles, race, religion, pride, are absurd.....all that matters to me in this life is that people get through the bull$%% PAINLESSLY.

I will try to go to Liberia when I graduate from College. Liberia, Egypt, Ethiopia, South Africa, are on my must go list.

I've never been so impacted by a 7-minute video in my life. Sure, we can go back and forth about where exactly needs cleaned up, but it goes without saying that the African nations that have serious issues are due to corruption and war, a lot of which has been brought upon by leaders who don't give a !*%! about their people. Say what you will about the US and its hegemony, but I'll take any Democratic system in the world over some of the monarchies and corrupt royalties in Africa.

The corruption in Africa is a direct result of your US hegemony. They won't allow true African democracy because it jeopardizes multi-national bottom lines.

How can you be an advanced level economics student and still be so blind to these basic global realities?

Yes I'm a lost cause because I refuse to preoccupy myself with phantoms and spirits and choose to focus on the reality of life itself.


Murder, rape, violence, greed, hatred are TRUE EVILS-I take a strong stance against all of these behaviors...but no I'm evil because "I don't go to the quiet place for talking to the man in the sky". Self-righteousness and hypocrisy should be a mortal sin.

Yeah...thats it

There is no discussion with you. You're on some completely other s_.

Post some more rolling smilies and sarcastic comments that have nothing to do with what i'm talking about and lets call it a night.

What are you talking about?

I'm not gonna get into too much cause I gotta call it a night soon but you're absolutely right, it's on the horizon. But you gotta understand its a difficult thing to deal with. A lot of us who are abroad in the US or Europe become so set in our ways that we either don't want to go or are too lazy/spoiled to make the move. I was born and raised out here and my pops is out there. He talks about it all the time. How Asians and other...shall I say, opportunistic people, are treating Africa like the last frontier. And when you think about it, it is. Anyone with a little bit of change and an idea can move to Africa, grab a chunk of land and start a successful business. Things we take for granted here like Dry Cleaners, Houseware stores, etc. can flourish there. Though there is much poverty, there is also unparalleled growth. I've got cousins who own restaurants and other businesses and are all doing well. Personally I don't know what the future holds for me, here or there. I'm hoping for the best of both worlds.
