  1. @samanthasibarit Technical training; competent management; and good governance. This is what is needed for competitive economy.
  2. @samanthasibarit If you want to run a successful economy you study La Liga, not ask economists (who won't agree on anything).
  3. @samanthasibarit Don't know but l advice Africa to learn from La Liga how to build economies: skills; management; governance.
  4. @samanthasibarit Exactly. People confuse revolution with demolition. The latter is always misery for all.
  5. Egypt is a small step for the contenders, a giant leap for the voters. This is the road to democracy.
  6. @jonathanfryer Egypt is a small step for the contenders, a giant leap for the voters.
  7. @iFortknox Your guess is as good as mine.
  8. @RMelendezOrtiz Some have gamed the system for economic rights without responsibilities.
  9. Revolutions occur in small steps; demolition come in big ones. Arab world will have revolution, not demolition.
  10. @MrBasabose l have been trying for 7 years to promote creation of African School of Musical Innovation in Kinshasa....
  11. @PamelaScully @City_Press Personal insults are the commonest form of public "discourse" in such situations.
  12. @PamelaScully @City_Press African politics is more about ethnic and personal rivalries, and less about problem-solving.
  13. @MrBasabose Great Lingala tweeps have come before you, starting with Le Grand Kalle past Dr Nico and Franco :-)
  14. @RMelendezOrtiz The EU was invented to foster peaceful co-existence and has lived up to that role.
