Writing Phenom David S. Fick Talks with Benin Mwangi! Part Two
Recently, I had the pleasure of exchanging dialogue with a world renowned author who has written two popular books about entrepreneurship in Africa. His name is David S. Fick. Because this interview is so detailed and filled to the brim with facts and information, the interview is broken into two parts. The first part we are premiering here on beninmwangi.com. The second half, which provides instruction from Mr. Fick on how you can participate in the launch of his upcoming book will be premiered on the African Path.

Northwoods Alchemy IV - Africa is looking up
After years of being fed a constant diet of bad news about the continent, most Americans are all too ready to assume nothing but the worst stories come out of Africa. Sometimes it seems that CNN has a special slot reserved just for a weekly feature on pestilence, war and famine. At least in the US media, you really have to look hard to find anything approaching good news about Africa, anything you might think of “looking up” to.

Sub-Saharan Africa Learning What Works

The Nigerian Context - A Story of Decline: Exploring entrepreneurship in a declining economy
Nigeria is usually referred to as the giant of West Africa in that, with a population estimated at over 100 million, one in every two West Africans is a Nigerian. The country's GDP is larger than that of all the other countries in West Africa combined.

Is Africa Choking on its own development?
Majority of African countries have reported increased economic growth rates over the past year signalling a wave of new foreign direct investments on the continent.

Funke Adenodi Akinbuli Helps Disabled in Africa Live With Dignity & Respect
If you didn't already know, most of Africa’s disabled [including the blind, paraplegic etc.] citizens live in deplorable conditions. Most are unemployed and can be found on Africa’s major streets and highways placing themselves in harm’s way as they beg for money to meet their basic needs. Rarely will you find a paraplegic in Africa, for example, with necessary medical equipment i.e. wheelchair. Most navigate the streets and freeways on their hands. Sadly, a lot of Africa’s citizens have become desensitized to the deplorable conditions of the disabled partly because most are frustrated with economic and political conditions in the continent and are barely trying to keep heads above water. Others just have no idea where to begin helping and still most lack awareness of the plight of the disabled.
