don't like how they are branding it Africa's big apple though. let's carve out our own identity.

The media is largely concerned with negative reporting in Africa... there is no balanced representation of the continent. I would have people thinking that the US is fukked up if every time I reported from there I got footage from Detroit only. They always go to slums and remote villages, never the other side.

They do show negative reporting of America... When it's Black people

fuk that shyt, poverty is not a virtue, this thread is about bringing iphone, xbox, internet,ps3, wii to africa

not to mention whoever did it doesnt know how to spell

I think you misunderstood his point.

Nobody wants to be poor, but being wealthy and/or technology doesn't make you happy. Why do you think a millionaire would kill himself?

LOL @ you being happy about fukking Iphones going to Africa. It would be better for an African to have created the Iphone. They don't need all that pointless shyt. They need technology to improve quality of life, but they don't need to be over-saturated with pointless shyt so they can become the Africa version of mindless drones who actually put value and fake happiness on shyt like this ^.

My sons basically have everything you could imagine a kid having.. they are only happy because of their mom. They could be spoiled miserable lil brats if it not for their parents. The good time for Africans will be when they use this tech to change their situation... the bad time for Africans is when they become just like most of us, mentally. Some of them already have and it's sad.

I didnt misunderstand any point, I think you misunderstood my point, I didn't say that being rich or material items makes you happy, what I said is that poverty is not a virtue

My point I that Africans should be making iPhones and also buying and trading in the latest technologies, I never said anything about happiness, I think that isirrelevant and a bunch of psycho babble, this thread is about money not some psychology thread

Well it's not like everyone in Africa was depressed before the invention of paper worthless money. Africans have always traded w the world from the beginning. Their sole focus should be on developing, Owning, and controlling their own resources. They need to focus on making the latest technology - cheaper.... anything else will leaved them fukked over in trade deals.

Cause you could have all the chips, be poor or rich
Still nobody want a nikka having shyt

Just to put it into prospective .... happiness > technology or wealth. Also mental and social depressions are the reasons behind everything you don't like about hip hop culture and urban shenanigans.
