Dambisa Moyo discusses Dead Aid with an MP

she is realy realy nice,intellegent,real confident,african hero,i wish her success,when i see some one like her i proud to be african

I can feel the heat in the MP's body. He is part of the culture that support the corrupt regimes in Africa. Cut of the aid pipeline and let Africans devise their own plan to solve their problems.

I am an African and I don't see how aid has helped me or my country. Can the MP explain why aid continues to flow to Africa and yet poverty is getting worse. Aid is part of the problem not solution. Like she said aid makes African leaders to take the back seat not making any effort on their own.

Investment should be from the bottom up, stimulating individuals to start their own business and (as a starter) establish rural communities that are self dependent. Then trade can begin and with education, the progress will be immense.

If I ever become a rich capitalist, then I will try to set up my own network of bottom up investment.

It's good to see that we agree.

your 21 and from cananda. listen up youngin. your just too stupid to realize that you never listen to anyone who worked for WORLD BANK about aid. idiot. these elites love her because she pushes their ideas. numnuts.

How does his age and nationality influence his opinion? At least he/she can spell. And exactly what idea from the world bank is she pushing?

Reading your comment below I am quite sure that you're a troll. Fail troll is fail.

stupid old dog, leave the people with brains alone and play your video games at the age of 40! silly humanbeing, i wish you could have a millionth of Dambisa's ideas in your rotten head!

I would just like to make one correct, in Malawi, it is Bakili Muluzi, the former president that is being prosecuted for the 12million dollars, not the incumbent Bingu Wa Mutharika. Other than that, I think I'm truly starting to come around to her argument. Keep up the good work.

Her argument couldn't be more logical. If you want Africa to be stronger then you should support Africa in becoming independent and self reliant. That doesn't mean all the other nations of the world should close their doors to Africa, but they should try to close the door to the aid that makes Africa TOTALLY dependent of the rest of the world. I support the effort of Dambisa Moyo in trying to educate the world in the kinds of aid that hurts Africa.

Yes but education alone will not solve the problem, infact it may worsen it. Case in point, Zimbabwe had until recently the highest lirearcy rate in Africa, over 92%. Sadly due to a complex set of unfortunate circumstances, inluding bad governance, the land issue, sanctions etc, the country's economy has since 2000 deteriorated to the point that it has lost much of its educated populace to the more developed nations, so its been in some ways a complete waste of its investment in education.

She's 100% right and history supports her argument...since billion has be poured into the africa we should have seen a clear decrease in poverty and corruption and mortality ratio...too much money is a negative incentive.
