1) "Shell" in Nigeria has to pay farmers for pollution.
2) Sadly, Zimbabwe is down to it's last $217 of US currency. Think about that when you're pouting about being poor.
3) Blackberry mobile devices are still a hit in Nigeria.
4) Unmanned drones for animals are protecting endangered rhinos!
5) Malian troops accused of violated human rights while trying to "calm" rebellions.


As much as I despise American Government, we're not as bad as many countries in Africa.. yet..

  1. Numbers three and four are pretty ironic. On one hand, outdated Blackberry phones are popular, showing that Nigeria is not "up to date" with the current smartphone scene. But on the other hand, they have these robots that are protecting endangered animals, something I have never even heard of before!
