AFRICA vs. REST OF THE WORLD..the other side of the coin in Global trade.
Post 1 of 7
I really wanted us to look at the other side of the issues that have to do with Africa in global trade. We have talked about the scam that Africa seem to be given a monopoly of, we have talked about bad business ethics and still leave a lot of the blame for Africa.
Now what about the dumpig of sub-standard goods and products in Africa, are they also the cause?, I will really like to know, who should be blamed for this and what is the magnitude of this crime?[em12]

Replying to [eloho]:Dear Eloho,
You argument about sub-standard goods dumped in Africa is valid.However, solution does not lie in blaming.It lies within.
Standard of goods depends on the affordability of the buyers.It applies within the country as well.P&G sells almost a dozen vareities of detergents in US to suit every pocket.Can we blame them for discrimination?
Corrupt officials and politicians afford best cars in african and other poor countries.Do they give sub-standard cars in these countries?
Solution lies in generation of wealth by the poeple.If more poeple can afford better quality goods, the same set of poeple you are blaming for dumping sub-standard goods, will come rushing with good products.

Replying to [sixer]: My Dear friend Sixer,
Thank for the reply,Its been quite some time[em1], You went straight to the point, I am not removing our colaborators from the blame. the fact is really not in the affordability, but in those who are trying to make extra-ordinary gain from this sub-standard goods. in case you do not know, this goods are sold for even higher than the original or standard products and its only in the use that you find out you do not have value for your money[em12]!, so you see why I am worried about this issue., if the case was being given what you can afford then i will be very wicked to complain[em19]>

Replying to [eloho]: Its about time people around the world who have enslaved the black man up to presant day ie America who still use its black populance as cheap labour who send these people of to war becouse they have no choice its that or prison the same apply's to Britain it is endemic in the nature of both America & Britian's old white race to be racist after all both countrys are built on slavery & still exist to this day with the same old practise of devide & rule if u can tell me of 1 black person who has made it in England or America who we all know about who has made it in buisness not music or sport & then most of the sports people in both countrys are black but are not excepted by the majority of the populances or the govermants of the above mentioned countrys Africa is a dumping ground for goods that have a detramentle affect on Africa's populance everything taken out of Africa has blood on it becouse there is no other way Africans can survive without paying out to the whitemans world. Food aid is a joke world banking is a joke made to look good in the media by talking about what they give in aid while rapeing all the minerals gold diemonds oil & yet Africa is still poor [em6] If China thought about working with Africa it would find it would get a better responce than America or England dont be a part of the Europeion erroneous treatment of people of colour. Africa needs a country like China & vice versa there are huge markets there. Unless u are going to give me a highly paid job then dont bother to ask me what thoes markets are plus the fact that if u have done any proper reaserch u would have found out that a person like me would do better as gobetween when dealing with Africa [em20]

Hey Sixer,its a good idea you have about africa, but its just an idea [em19]. One thing you have to understand when you are told that most african families use less than a dollar a day for food, is why is that so. Then you take your self back in time to slavery. We never won anything thats called freedom, we were given, and surely not not for free ofcourse, that was the whole masterplan behind slavery, devide and rule is the key to that. Freedom was given with conditions of which most of them, people have just come to realise recently in treaties of up to 1000yrs.This is maddness, Its not the people who signed those treaties or so called trade agreements its the leaders who fall under the devide and rule. They are given powers by wealth. So they oppres the poor. In africa we don't live, we survive. The system is like a cancer. and to heal that we have to get rid to the roots first. This may sound alittle more like discrimination, yes it is and we are just victims. We don't have human rights in this world, we only have words which are being manipulated by the rich goverments so called superpowers through the media which they own 90 percent of it. Charity begins at home surely I agree with that, At the same time we adopt to the enviroment. If you in at the kichen what do you expect your young child to do, cook in the toilet?
We talk about global warming, and yet you say that we are given what we can afford, now whats that, who is the real cause of this global warming? They do that because they are ignorant is to some level, they can't even understand what is always preached ever since time in memorial " YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE to the nature. Its an action reaction law thing, its not about who has most money that matters anymore, its what you do with the money that counts.
Hey don't get me wrong please! Its just the way it is, the only way to change, the truth. You need to go the the moon for you to be able to see the other side of it.
Its religion which people use to hide there wrong doings. But thats all about to change now if we all corperate.

Hey burns1, you are talking about china doing business with africa, it sounds ok but do you know how cheap those people are! 10s of people in a certain mine in africa owned by chinese died with explosives because they were not protected, you know how much they were being payed; less that $100 a month. Now go figure if those are the kind of investors you want.
