do these events really make a difference? i don’t think so. for one day people are entertained, forget about their problems and are entertained. you want to help Africa? start by solving the corruption and nepotism running rampant. then fix the crumbling infrastructre in the areas outside of the capital cities. go to Ghana and say how great Accra is. then go to Kumasi and ask what has happened in the last 20 years. ask peole they wish the British would return and run things.

came across this blog via google’s blog search ssite. I am impressed and of course happy about the recent post about the Africa Standing Tall Against Poverty Concert. I am Ghanaian of course … thx for the pictures and I will track the african linux chicks site. is there any thing like that for African men?

VM - Interesting that the only non African comment is such a negative reactionary one. Africa does not need or want people like you - please go away - quickly!

Kofi - Thanks for the comment. no I dont know of a similar site by African men but there are quite a few African techie bloggers. Will send you more when I return from holiday

I was there - massive massive turn out, great music - all Africa under one sky - who made Geldof king of our fate - this show sorted that one out. Made me proud but where were the so called international press? More of such shows!

Guess what, 20 years from now, old man Bob Geldof or some so inspired musician will have to organize another series of concerts. The music will most definitely be good but many Ghanaians and other Africans will go home hungry.
I’m against all this aid, debt relief, food aid etc propaganda that is being pushed down our throats. Let’s stop begging and start letting people know that we can look after ourselves.
