In Case You Know Anybody Called May...

The other day I read that a fellow sure named May received an invitation to visit Washington by  well known barber freaker. Well the essence of this post is to alert such a person not to honor such an invitation because he or she MAY have his/her hair cut especially if she or he visits in the month of MAY.'Remember the ides of May', Shakespeare would have advised.Was it not in the  month of MAY or was it very close to it that the other similar fellow abruptly took actions and thoughts and words that abruptly led to his abrupt exit from the cozy interiors of Number10 Downing Street

Producing In Africa For Africa?Any Prospect?

Is there any hope for a manufacturer or provider of any service to be profitable in Africa?More specifically ,is there any hope for African businesses in Africa?
As unbelievable as the following answer may sound, it is nonetheless true.Africa is the best place to do business.'Let facts be submitted to a candid world.' ( in the tenor of  Thomas Jefferson in the 'Declaration Of American Independence)

Africa is a 1.2 Billion Market

This simply means that Africa is four times the size of the US market and almost twice the size of the European market.

Africa Is More Homogeneous Than Other Continents

 You know what ? African population is more homogeneous than that of Asia.That means you can produce for all at once  without offending any ethnic group .

Falling Currency Values Means Higher Priced Imported Goods 

Countries like Nigeria ,Angola , Ghana and a host of others have recently felt  the crushing effects of falling global oil prices which has resulted in paucity of foreign exchange required for the importation of finished goods resulting in fall of local currency values and exorbitant imported items out of reach of the general populace.

Rising Unemployment Rates

Most African countries have unemployment rates as high as 60 percent.This provides a ready pool of both skilled and unskilled manpower.

The Power Of The Internet

Africa embraced the internet at a rate that has baffled bookmakers worldwide.Almost one third of African population has access to the internet in one  form or the other.This means that people in hitherto unreachable area can now be reached through  the internet.Marketplace Africa:The Promise Of Africa

Why Marketplace Africa?

Because we believe in The Promise Of Africa.

Introducing Marketplace Africa

Africa!Africa!'Africa my Africa: a continent of proud warriors in ancestral savanna.'..That is the bit of a beautiful poetry I read in secondary school that I can still remember.Africa has long been cast as the dark continent .But we all know that a lot of good or even great things do go on in darkness.For instance the womb of  an animal is always dark,This is a very important part of an animal's anatomy without which procreation and continuity of every specie would be possible .And then after darkness comes daylight.So Africa's darkness so to say is a cloak and a prelude for better and greater  things Africa's darkness is symbolic of the hope of  the chronological progess of the entire planet.


We at Marketplace Africa believe that this darkness that has been talked so much about  has been an opportunity to create :it is a oasis of latent talent and virgin zeal. Wherever you turn in Africa the freshness of untapped human and material resources abound .More importantly the African spirit is that of hope ,resilience and resourcefulness. We believe in these .We believe in the promise of Africa.This is the promise of Africa.Though bound  ,broken and battered,  Africa still trudges on .I can never forget the eruption of the promise and brutal determination of Africa in the voice of an African American woman during the glorious gory days of the civil rights struggle in the United States in the sixties:'My feets is tired,but  my soul is at rest.', she retorted to an inquirer about her weariness .Obviously uneducated ,the genuine profundity of this unnamed seventy- two year old woman in Dr Martin Luther King's  'Letter From Birmingham Jail in legendary  is typical of Africa;  '... pressed to the wall but still fighting on'. Without further ado the world must realize that the next millennium is the African millennium. This not something that has to be agitated or fought for like  the gain of freedom from colonialism or the struggle for civil rights in America.This is something that the world will willingly acknowledge and accept.In Africa lies the potential to salvage a broken immoral global economic system.Often times it is the man at the lowest rung of the ladder that is given the rare privilege of seeing first hand  the mistakes of those higher up in the ladder.This is a statement of fact that all must accept.

Again the darkness in Africa is only a prelude to daylight.Only Africa has the spiritual capacity to sustain the world through the imminent economic holocaust.This blog therefore is focused on the singular goal of the Promise of Africa inspire of its present economic challenges.We are determined to catalyze the imminent African economic renaissance. This is the principal goal of this platform.There is no need whatsoever to give in to despair.because 'The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams'-Eleanor Roosevelt.We are on a journey and we will surely get to the promise land if we do not faint.Marketplace Africa:The Promise Of Africa
