I think that Africa doesn’t need aids, rather investments. If only more investments in technology could be done in Africa, the continent will solve the rest of the problems it faces.

@solomon - Nigerian bloggers can start a campaign on reducing poverty through blogging. I’m sure that this would get the world’s attention and support. Thanks for your comments:-)

“I want to see what Africans want themselves. Should we invest instead of donate, and how much, and on what projects? How can we be assured that it isn’t scam? To get communications from African bloggers to western bloggers would be a great way to raise awareness and to “help” westerns to donate and invest in the right things. If bloggers from the west and from Africa unite, I think blogging and internet communication could be a great contribution to raising Africa from poverty.”

Alas, that is the challenge, isn’t it?

All of us bloggers do so much talking but hardly enough with each other and thus miss out on an opportunity t truly work together and not against each other.

I just have to say that i appreciated your comment as it has forced me to think a little harder about a couple ideas that had been floating around in my head.
