Aid Ironies: A Response to Jeffrey Sachs

I love this article. It's hot. That's exactly what the African mind, spirit or whatever you call the core of one's being, needs. Boy, this Dambisa Moyo. She rocks.
Okay, read the beautiful article that appeals to me not only because it is aesthetically crafted, but, indeed, particularly because it is logical. Quite unlike the one she is rebutting - her former professor, Jeffrey Sach's largely ad hominem essay.
ENJOY.

Dora’s metamorphosis

I love this reflection, a creative non-fiction. For those of us who loved what Dora Akunyili did to protect Nigeria from the flood of fake drugs; those of us who were ready to canonize her a saint, but who have been lately shocked by her job as Nigeria's minister of information, this write-up might help.
ENJOY!

Nollywood, Nolly what?

In a deep, soul-searching essay, Eddie Iroh provides an analysis of Nigerian home-video production, otherwise known as Nigerian film industry, or Nollywood. The problem with Nollywood, says Eddie Iroh, is not quit different from that of Nigeria: the love of mediocrity, living in illusion of grandeur because of the failure to compare oneself with the best in the world; the refusal to aim for excellence.
I so love this essay that I posting a link in every blog that I have a control over.
So, friends, enjoy!
