    see the credits at the end of this piece… read what it says:

    “This film was made possible through support from the World Bank”

    Also, do you know who gave NewYork City based NBPC $550,000.00 usd to fund futher research and programming development?

    Do some research and you’ll soon find the answer.

    (hint: CPB a non-profit set up by USA Congress)

    “fb”
    word of advice:

    get some foundation built here in USA — even if just for a short while — prior to going off to Africa.

    Being an investment banker can mean many different things.

    Get some stories made here first, and then expand to there.

    Building a career takes patience and a bit of luck.

    Be bold… and you will make it.

    people might as well wear your pants backwards, cause the masses are gettin ed!As usual. Why follow the western model of capitalism?!Africa has enough for all to be rich.We just gotta remove all neo -colonial elements , rather governmental or economic.A non African nation should not make 1 more penny from African resources or people!.

  8. IMF loans are for …
    IMF loans are for one purpose, to seize property. Look how “well” the US is doing. Brazil just lost their rainforest. Read “confessions of an economic hitman” before falling for this propaganda.

    Western media does this to black people in general. It also fools our own to make them hate themselves.

  13. Of all the money …
    Of all the money they send for “aid”, 80% is self-seving of the donor. That money never really touches the country it’s intended for, and often the tangible et the aid is for is never fully completed.

  24. GOD FLIPPING …
    GOD FLIPPING IT. WHERE ARE IMAGES OF AFRICA SUCH AS THIS? I’m tired of only seeing starving children when it comes to africa.

  25. We need more …
    We need more positive images of Africa in the West. We are oversaturated by negative images that do little to represent the beauty of Africa. Western media finds the worst images of the continent and then presents them as normal. This has a deleterious affect on African economies, because it frightens away potential investors.

    Hopefully, the discovery of oil in Ghana will also help to change the economic landscape, there.
