Visiting the The NEPAD offices in Midrand, South Africa today. Happy to meet the team led by Dr Ibrahim Mayaki.
We had a very lively discussion regarding the Program for Infrastructure Development in Africa focusing on the missing links along the TransNational Highway corridors, the continental High Speed Rail program as well as Open skies to allow for easier trade and transportation.
It’s time for Africa to get moving and I look forward to working with the team.

This is a clever attempt to sabotage the influence of THE YOUNG Julius Malema in South Africa!!!
Just like the late Morgan Tsvangirai and Nelson Chamisa have been used as tools for white Zimbabweans and their foreign supporters to sabotage the and destroy the economy of Zimbabwe!
Can Sub-Saharan African leaders, a region that is loaded with vast natural resources, stand on their two feet and use these resources to develop the region instead of leaning on the exploitative foreigner CHARACTERS who are blatantly using one group of Africans ( who are acting like like Judas Iscariot) to destroy other Africans????
The Africa Union Infrastructure project is merely another angle and a ploy to loot WHATEVER IS LEFT of African resources and leave the continent in perpetual debt and poverty!!
If these foreigners were really interested in developing Sub -Saharan Africa, the so called African Union infrastructure project would have started immediately after the partition of Africa in 1885! That is , 133 years ago before the IMF, WORLD BANK and EUROBONDs decided to put Africa in perpetual debt so that it can be remotely controlled using the massive massive debts!!
It is difficult to understand why Raila Odinga is allowing himself to be used to inflict additional economic pain on Africa!!! MONEY???

Anyone who opposes opening up africa is a lunatic, just like you man. Why will own resources that are lying idle and not being exploited for the benefit of the economy.

After the 1884-1885 Berlin Conference, Africa was opened up for the Europeans colonizers and has never closed its borders or thrown any foreigners out of the continent! These foreigners chose to develop their homelands instead!!
in fact the resources looted out of the continent have developed the western world, leaving them with perfect roads and other infrastructures everywhere!
You are a colossal lunatic to think that the proposed African Union Infrastructure Project to be run by Raila Odinga is going to clear the debts that have been levied on poor African citizens for generation to come!!!!
This is the same man who has never built any known infrastructure in his own back yard in Siaya County!! And some slick foreign and local looters think that this conman is qualified to tackle some African intercontinental infrastructure in Sub-Saharan African???? Where is the money coming from, FOOL?? Not everyone can be fooled by this opportunistic hand-shaker who can smile with you one minute but the next moment you turn your back, he will plunge a large dagger similar to that dagger which was used used to sodomized Muhammar Ghaddafi of Libya who was once the African Union Chairman!!
African Union members authorized the sodomy of Gaddafi in exchange for bribes!!!
Are these two faced individuals the kinds of characters who can be trusted to open up Africa?? For what?? FOR BRIBES IN EXCHANGE FOR CONTROL, LOOTING, ACCUMULATION OF DEBTS, POVERTY, DISEASES AND SLUM BUILDING FOR AFRICAN POOR?? Are you joking???
How comes there are no roads and railways in Sub-Saharan Africa since 18884-1885 Berlin Conference, except huge debts on the backs of 99.99% poor Africans?? YOU ARE THE LUNATIC, DUDE!
