Obama gets interesting questions from Africa

As I announced before, World President Barack Obama invited Africans to send an SMS to him with questions and comments in advance of his visit to Africa.

Over the past week, the White House has been collecting questions, comments and words of welcome for World President Obama via SMS, Twitter, Facebook and from newspapers across Africa. The White House shared these responses with 3 journalists in Africa, Ms. Angela Quintal of the Independent Newspapers in South Africa, Mr. Mamadou Thior of Radio Television Senegal (RTS) and Mr. Peter Kimani of The Standard in Kenya. These journalists, in turn, picked a few of the questions for the President to answer. The White House will post a video and audio recording of those answers on Monday.

In the meantime, the White House has shared an interactive map which samples 43 of the more than 5,000 questions received.

There are pertinent questions about the ever-present vice of corruption:

"Goodmorning Mr.president,the former sec.of state Mr.Collin Powel once said that every Nigerian is corrupt.As a Nigerian I know he is 99% correct.what policies do you propose to inorder to deliver the largest African nation from this 'cancer'.may Allah protect and guide you."
Some of the questions address contemporary issues like the environment, such as this one from Swaziland:

Mr. President, thank you 4 ur commitment to improve lives of ordinary ppl. I work 4 an env regulating agency. There a companies who we find difficult to get to comply with env stds because they exploit our vulnerabilities (poverty, unemployment,etc). Politicians then find it hard to support compliance enforcement measures because of fear of making the economic situation worse. What is ur policy 4 US companies operating in developing countries and how it enforced?
And, of course, the most interesting question had to come from Kenya:

"Mr President, there is currently a lot of interesting and healthy debate in traditional and online media about appropriate development models for Africa. Three schools of thought are emerging: Jeffrey Sachs, Bill Easterly, and Dambisa Moyo. Which of these three does your administration feel most comfortable with when developing and designing US aid and development policies and strategies for Africa?"
And you, what would you ask Obama when given the opportunity?Source URL: https://pussyhotnaked.blogspot.com/search/label/BubbleWrap%20Kenya

It's Our Turn to Read

I got my copy today of the book "It's Our Turn to Eat" by Michela Wrong. Shipping from the UK to Kenya seems to work fine. I'm off reading now, but if you are still waiting for your copy of the book, you could already have a look at the very nice overview of articles and extracts of the book by Stephanie (Inari Media) here in the meantime. See you later.

BubbleWrap Kenya

It looks like every day a new e-commerce site is born in Kenya. In some of my earlier posts, I already looked at Books First, Quick Flicks Store, and Crystallwear. 

And now I just discovered a fourth one: BubbleWrap Kenya. They focus mainly on gifts. The site is easily searchable or alternatively you can browse the categories, which go from books to wedding and couple gifts. 


Busy girls may like the thought of a 1 hour of spa re-balancing massage. But they may find a sensitive friend who could offer them much more for less than the KSh 5,000 advertised for this massage. Handy men may like the 4 Drawer Topchest with 142pc Tool Kit. But their wifes may not like the KSh 64,995/- price tag. Cooking queens may love the Stylish italian stainless steel cutlery. But their husbands may frown upon the KSh 61,800/- cost.


BubbleWrap guarantees that you will receive your gift within 2 weeks unless it is a customized gift then it is 2 months... They accept payment by Mpesa, cheque, Visa and Mastercard. Bubble Wrap aims to deliver within 14 days using Fargo Courier. The cost of delivery will be added to your bill.



In conclusion: Interesting website, but I really hope they can come up with some more attractive prices (most items appear more expensive than in the conventional shops), or otherwise they should just wrap up this bubble.Source URL: https://pussyhotnaked.blogspot.com/search/label/BubbleWrap%20Kenya
