Africa

Some knowledge in this thread....

Those pictures in the OP warmed my heart.

Yo, what's good with them Nollywood movies brehs? These cities look like they are DYING for a Bourne Identity type thing...and not starring a white boy either.

Where can I fine gentlemen such as myself, with some disposable income, invest in Africa?

You all seem like knowledgeable fellas involving the Mother Continent.

Companies? Industries? Are American-invested small businesses welcomed? Any stocks?

Thanks friends.

There's probably emerging market funds. I don't know any off the top of my head. Do you have an advisor?

Mobile phones, networks, things like that are good bets in emerging markets and third world countries.

I'm not sure if I would go into business in Europe right now let alone South America or Africa...

The reason why they don't want Americans seeing this side of Africa is because there are many lowlife rich people who make millions off fake charities (i.e. "pls donate money to Africa. Pls save this child...he's starving...pls give me money"). Tons of people fall for that shyt. They need to create a cause that people can get behind and pour their money into (just like global warming and going to war with some random country).

The CEO's of these charities make six figures per annum.

Kenya

Literally The hottest black chick I ever met in South Beach was from Kenya. Her body must have been on steroids, real talk, b*tch literally had the whole club on some steez. B*tch had European players givin' me the Her body was bountiful and full of wealth, just like the motherland

The bolded may be the biggest problem tbh. Our resources are a gift and a curse. Like look at these two links I found

New Oil discovery in Ivory Coast. - SkyscraperCity

More black gold discovery in Ghana - SkyscraperCity

new oil and gold was found, but guess who found them? A British company, and an Italian company

and then you have China, and these Portuguese are moving back down to Angola

It's annoying, I wish there was a way for Africans to kick these companies out unless they're benefiting in a major way(which they obviously aren't)

The geese are broke, they goin' back down to the motherland to survive Same like young Spanish people going to South America lookin' for jobs
