Dear Vince,
Thank you for your comment. The interview will be aired this Wednesday (25th July) at 8pm. Jacob Zuma will be discussing the appointment of Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma as leader of the African Union, amongst other topics.
Hi Chris
I enjoy your programme very much. Kep up the good work. There is one topic that I suggest you consider to discuss on your show is Corruption in Africa. Sixteen of the 26 fastest growing countries are in Africa and 10 in Asia.This may seem to suggest that at last our time has time. But is it?
The most single and a major barrier to our economic and social development in most African countries is Corruption. How can we over the problem. How can UN agencies, Western Countries help. I live in London and you cannot put £1,000 cash into your bank account without being asked the source of the money. How can leaders in Africa loot the millions from Africa and can comfortably bank them in Western Countries.
Its funny how group c have had to play on such bad pitches whilst the other groups including south Africa have all been playing on good quality pitches! It is embarising and the eurosport commentators have repeatedly mentioned it.
It looks like there maybe a fix to try and get the champions (zambia) to not progress as well as making it difficult for the other challengers that have shown they mean business I.e Nigeria and burkina faso.
Is everyone blind or is it just acceptable for Africa to be seen accepting this poor state of affairs on the world stage?!
Hi Chris
I wish to opine that we do not need stooges like the current Ivorian president Mr Alassane Ouattara in africa. He is a renowned French stooge like his predecessor Mr Laurent Gbagboo. What manner of president will a man who cannot even sleep with his wife unless pre-approved by Paris make?
The good news is that they, the french and the entire west will dump him like a used rag after they have used him to acheive their imperialist objectives. Or are we quick to forget so soon that Laurent Gbagboo was imposed on Ivorians for years by the same western bullies.
Chris,
I saw your interview with Mr Alassane Ouattara today. I like your style, your manner and your questions; I’ll be watching your show from now on.
You asked for viewers’ suggestions. I’d like to see an examination of trade, in particular of value-added exports from Africa – not commodities. The progress made in debt relief led to an exposing of the $750B that western countries spend on subsidising their industry and agriculture annually. The banking debacle since 2007 has pushed all of that off the headlines. It must not be allowed to be forgotten.
So I’d like to hear more of the African perspective on trade.
Requesting a debate on; “why should certain group of individuals in Nigeria because of their selfish gain and profit continue to hold the destiny of Nigeria in total darkness?” Industrialization opportunities in developed countries is possible because of stable electricity, take electricity from the UK and USA it becomes Nigeria immediately!
A country like Nigeria that made the choice to put themselves in perpetual darkness is only boosting the economy of the other countries which specialise in manufacturing generators, but not for use in their own countries.
If the darkness in Nigeria has international under tone why should we allow it?
