America’s Next Greatest Challenge Will Be Emigration After Debt Ceiling

0

Point: Emigration will become a major challenge for US in the next 25 years if China continues to advance.

 

Lessons to Africa: While US is troubled on immigration today, in 25 years, the problem will be preventing  talented people from leaving. A redesign of the global economy by China will make this possible. After all, in the last ten centuries, China has lead at least six. Africa must understand this future and begin to develop strong and though-out ties with China. This is a Chinese century.

 

Tekedia proposes immediate and strategic introduction of Mandarin in selected primary and high schools in Africa. We must get ready as no one can stop the Chinese.  Though technology will eliminate the barrier of languages since in the next ten years, language interpreters will be ubiquitous on cellphone that language will matter less in international business, yet, we need to understand the Chinese culture.

 

In my Geography class in Nigeria, I knew so much about Chicago than Lagos. Why? The West African Examination Council recommended textbook: Physical and Human Geography by Che Leong???(forgotten his name) has no African content. It was so strange that no African geographer could write a book WAEC could use instead of teaching us American geography when I had no clues about Africa. All the major examples in this book came from US.

 

It could turn out this is the time to start recommending Chinese books in African schools. We need to know their culture and geography because they will rule this century. It is simply so because why America is worried over weeks to increase the debt ceiling so that they can borrow more, Africa is paying cash for mines, lands and buying all over the world. How things change! The truth is this: if the Greek will invite China to their crises, China will take over all their national treasures and bail them. The problem is that they have none  of value these days.

 

This is a short strategic point and we want to get this message out. African Union must call a congress on African ties with China and must start that process of helping member nations to get those ties right.

Optimus Pro And Optimus Net Reaffirm LG’s Budget Phone Range

0

It has been a fairly good year for LG’s phone division as they have introduced a number of firsts in the industry. While LG has not traditionally been a big name in the world of smartphones they have managed to increase their market share substantially with the introduction of the first dual core smartphone in the form of the Optimus 2X (T-Mobile G2x in the United States) and the first 3D smartphone in most markets with the Optimus 3D.

 

Even though their Optimus Black was not dual core or 3D enabled it was also quite an illustrious phone being the first to feature LG’s NOVA screen technology for superior visuals and reduced battery consumption. Now LG is moving away from the high end of the market to introduce a couple of affordable phones into their Optimus range with the Optimus Pro and the Optimus Net.

 

The Optimus Pro is an Android phone with a BlackBerry style QWERTY keyboard for typing messages and emails. Although it is running on the latest Gingerbread version of Android it comes with a less powerful 800MHz processor and a smaller 2.8″ screen. The Pro has 3G and Wi-Fi on offer, as well as excellent email and social networking support.

 

The Optimus Net is fairly similar in terms of hardware although it features a full touchscreen design and no physical QWERTY keyboard. It is being positioned as the successor to the LG Optimus One which was a very popular budget Android device back in its day. Likewise, this runs on Gingerbread Android and comes with 3G, Wi-Fi and great support for social networking and email.

 

Both phones feature 3 megapixel cameras with VGA video recording, a potential 32GB storage with microSD (2GB included) and support for excellent entertainment like YouTube and games.

 

LG has not placed much emphasis on the lower end of the phone market in recent months as they have been keen to make a name for themselves with their higher end products. It has been a shame because LG has been a company that has always excelled at making more affordable smartphones and were the first to bring touchscreen smartphones to a wider audience with their budget LG Cookie back in 2008.

 

With their excellent support for social networking these phones will be good for younger users, although their wealth of email and internet options also make them well suited for older professional phone users as well. The Optimus Net is great for people looking for a touchscreen phone experience and the Optimus Pro will appeal to people who spend a lot of time communicating through text.

2011 Africa Awards Will End In Nairobi, 8th December 2011

0

Kicking off its fourth successful year, the Africa Awards for Entrepreneurship recognises and rewards African business leaders who embody the entrepreneurial spirit and demonstrate the qualities required to succeed in business. Applicants will be evaluated on key areas such as profitability, return on investment and growth; long-term business strategy; leadership, culture and values; investment in employees; innovation to address market needs; and contribution to the community.

 

The 2011 Africa Awards for Entrepreneurship builds upon the highly successful 2010 programme, which included over 2,700 entries received from 15 countries and 18 different industry sectors; 250 business leaders and influencers attended the Gala Awards Event; and 10 finalists from Botswana, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, and Uganda were recognised. Since 2007, the Africa Awards for Entrepreneurship programme has grown from five countries to including every country in Africa.

 

The announcement of this year’s Africa Awards coincides with the publication of a report on entrepreneurship in sub-Saharan Africa from the Legatum Institute, the publishers of the 110-country Global Prosperity Index. The report finds that entrepreneurs are the “enablers of growth” who break down economic barriers and social constraints and that entrepreneurship and access to opportunity are by far the most highly correlated indicators of a nation’s overall prosperity.

 

For the first time, a high-profile one-day conference on entrepreneurship, CONVERGENCE: AFRICA, headlined by a globally-recognised champion of entrepreneurship, will precede the Gala Awards banquet on December 8th in Nairobi. The 2011 Africa Awards will conclude by honouring the ten finalists and winners in the presence of an international audience of leading business people, investors, policymakers, and entrepreneurs.
