AFP Sport looks at some of the tributes to the 20-time Grand Slam champion:

“Cheers Roger. Thanks for the shared memories my friend. It was an honour to share time/experiences on the most hallowed grounds in our sport. Don’t be a stranger… Also, seems like a good time to start training for Wimby.”

20 Poorest African Countries in 2022 by starboy247(f) : 2:13 pm On Sep 18

thehehethehehe
Burundi African Children

Poorest African Countries in the year 2022

The largest number of the world’s poor live in Africa. The poorest of the poor live in abject poverty, on a total income of less than US $1 a day.

The countries in the poorest of the poor in Africa are scattered across the continent, from West Africa to the Indian Ocean, throughout sub-Saharan Africa to the Horn of Africa.

The economies of these 20 countries share a common theme: Disaster, both natural and manmade.

There are people in almost every country who live in fear of poverty, most of whom even in the poorest country in Africa work hard to avoid it. In these poor countries in Africa, sadly, working hard it not enough to avoid the crushing reality of want.

Here are the reasons people in 20 countries face enormous obstacles to find a way forward from poverty. We have ranked these countries in terms of GDP (Gross Domestic Product) per capita, the total economic production of the country divided by the number of people in the country. But we also list each country’s GNI (Gross National Income) per capita, the amount of money per person that stays in the country out of all the value of goods and services it produces. These figures can be very different, and that too tells a story.

1. Burundi

GDP $727, GNI $210

African Children in BurundiAfrican Children in Burundi
African Children, Burundi

What is the poorest country in Africa 2022? Sadly, it is perennially impoverished Burundi. Almost any “top 20 poorest country in Africa” list from the past 50 years will include Burundi.

Like its neighbor Rwanda, Burundi passed through a period of turbulence in the 1990s during which it saw genocides against its Tutsi minority by its Hutu majority. Like its neighbor Rwanda, Burundi is tiny, landlocked, densely populated, and deficient in natural resources. But Burundi’s economy is a fraction of its neighbor Rwanda’s.

Why? Although neither country is democratic, Rwanda has a functioning government and rule of law. The lack of legal protection for investments has discouraged business from coming to Burundi to make profits with its willing workforce. And the large disparity between GDP and GNI suggests that non-citizens, many of them with relief organizations, make up much of its workforce.

2. Central African Republic

GDP $823, GNI $510

Central African RepublicCentral African Republic
Sangha River, Central African Republic.

The Central African Republic has endured decades of religious violence and civil war. For much of the last 20 years, the central government has controlled only the capital, and in 2013 even the capital was taken over by a rebel group. Central Africans have been driven out of their homes into refugee camps, and then driven out of their refugee camps. Since 2016, UN peacekeeping troops have brought some stability to the country and the World Bank has invested in small business development, but lawlessness, disease, and lack of infrastructure cripple the economy.

3. Democratic Republic of the Congo

GDP $843, GNI $550

Democratic Republic of CongoDemocratic Republic of Congo
Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of Congo.

Mining for the rare earths essential for making electric cars and cellphones is the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s greatest potential and its biggest worry. This huge equatorial rain forest country has been the world’s leading supplier of cobalt since 1908. It provided the high-grade uranium ore the United States used to make its atomic bombs in World War II. Although American capital kept mines going in the 2000s, the country has recently sold its mineral concessions to a Chinese conglomerate.

For ordinary Congolese, there are few civil rights, no employment rights, and little choice but to take very basic jobs. The economic production of the country is mostly controlled by the mines.

4. Somalia 

GDP $888, GNI $310

SomaliaSomalia
Dadaab, Somalia.

Somalia has become synonymous with violence, lawlessness, and extreme poverty. About 43 percent of its population lives on less than US $1 a day, and the leading industry of the country is livestock production. In recent years, however, conditions have stabilized enough that foreign companies are investing in Somalia as a producer of hallel meat for consumption in nearby countries, bringing living standards back to where they were in the early 1990s. Much of the country survives on remittances sent back by expat Somalis.

5. Niger

GDP $1213, GNI $540

NigerNiger
Camels at the Local cattle market in Agades at Air, Niger.

In 2021, Niger experienced its first peaceful transfer of power with the inauguration of its president Mahomed Bazoum. The newly stable country, unfortunately, is trapped between armies of the Islamic State and Boku Haram. And the United Nations Development Index ranks Niger as the poorest country on earth, simultaneously experiencing an explosion in its birth rate and a chronic drought that leaves over 2 million of its citizens in danger of starvation. Even in a good year, the United Nations says, Niger cannot feed itself.

6. Malawi

GDP $1234, GNI $500

Malawi childrenMalawi children
Children at school, Malawi, Africa.

Over 70 percent of Malawians earn less than the UN poverty level wage of US $1.90 per day. Compounding this reality is another: Most of Malawi’s workers have jobs in agriculture, which is plagued by increasingly common droughts and floods. Farmers are too poor to buy tractors and fertilizer. The World Bank estimates that the tiny, 0.8 acre (0.3 hectare) Malawi farm produces only 11 to 18 percent of its potential yield. Making matters worse, Malawi’s one-magnificent Lake Chilwa has largely dried up, putting 7,000 fishermen out of work.

7. Mozambique

GDP $1331, GNI $460

MaputoMaputo
Maputo downtown cityscape, capital city of Mozambique, Africa.

There is some income in Mozambique, but the $871 disparity between GDP and GNI shows that it does not go to Mozambicans. Mozambique has invited troops from other African nations to fight its Islamic insurgency, so it can concentrate on recovering from the theft of $2 billion in loan funds intended to shore up its fragile economy. One bright note in Mozambique: Mozambique’s elephant herds have undergone a mutation so that newborn elephants don’t have tusks, and will not be killed by poachers.

8. Liberia

GDP $1413, GNI $530

Robertsport LiberiaRobertsport Liberia
Robertsport, Liberia

Liberia was founded in the 1820s as a refuge for former American slaves. It has come out of a horrific civil war under a woman-led government that rebuilt schools, hospitals, and roads that had been destroyed during the fighting. But an Ebola epidemic in 2014 and the completion of international aid programs in 2017 have left the country to face its considerable economic challenges on its own.

9. South Sudan

GDP $1420, GNI $1090

south sudansouth sudan
Torit, South Sudan

The economy of the Republic of the South Sudan is one of the most underdeveloped in the world. It has one of the world’s highest infant mortality rates and one of the world’s highest rates of illiteracy in women. It has one of the youngest populations in the world, with over 40 percent of its population under the age of 14. And it has a range of mineral resources, including oil, gas, iron, chromium, tungsten, copper, gold, silver, and diamonds.  Income disparity is severe: The average per capita daily income in South Sudan is US $3.20 a day, but 90 percent of the population lives on less than $1 a day.

10. Sierra Leone

GDP $1608, GNI $1670

Sierra LeoneSierra Leone
Freetown, Sierra Leone

Like its neighbor Liberia, Sierra Leone has been devastated by civil war and the Ebola epidemic. Unlike Liberia, Sierra Leone has also been plagued by natural disasters, especially mudslides. About 2/3 of the population is engaged in subsistence farming, raising rice. However, Sierra Leone is one of the few of the poorest countries in Africa that has a higher GNI than GDP. Expats from Sierra Leone manage to send substantial amounts of money to their families still in the country.

11. Madagascar

GDP $1697, GNI $1540

MadagascarMadagascar
Maroantsetra – Andranofotsy, Madagascar.

Over 2 million people in Madagascar are in danger of imminent starvation due to a prolonged drought. Once one of the most spectacular centers of biodiversity in the planet, with 90 percent of its wildlife found nowhere else on the planet, Madagascar now has vast areas of complete destruction of the landscape from drought and fires. Relative bright spots in Madagascar’s economy include its nickel mines, textile production, and fisheries.

12. Eritrea

GDP $1820, GNI $699

EritreaEritrea
Shopping area of Asmara city, Eritrea.

Eritrea is often called “Africa’s North Korea.” Fighting a battle for independence from Ethiopia from the 1960s until 1990, it enjoyed independence for only eight years before starting a bloody war with Ethiopia in 1998, which only ended in 2018. Eritrea, like North Korea, became a military state, with forced military service and forced labor for all except women who can demonstrate that they are ready to have children and others with substantial financial resources. For several years, the largest number of refugees from Africa seeking to enter Europe were from Eritrea.

13. Togo

GDP $1821,GNI $920

ToogToog
Lome central market in Togo.

In recent years, Togo has achieved both a growing GDP and well-controlled inflation. Its government coffers, however, depend on taxes imposed on phosphate mining, and rise and fall with fertilizer prices. Most of the people of Togo still depend on subsistence farming for their livelihoods.

14. Guinea-Bissau

GDP $1951, GNI $1020

Guinea BissauGuinea Bissau
Truck with the image of the national flag of Guinea Bissau.

After a long, bitter war to oust its Portuguese rulers, Guinea-Bissau endured a dictatorship, coups, and another civil war. It has never had a president finish his five-year elected term. Most of the people of Guinea-Bissau make subsistence livings from fishing and growing cashews or peanuts. A few residents of the country’s coastal islands have found economic opportunities in drug smuggling, with enough volume to give the country the nickname “Pusher’s Paradise.” The country has no funds of its own to fight its drug kingpins.

15. Burkina Faso

GDP $2207, GNI $790

Burkina FasoBurkina Faso
African road in Burkina Faso

Burkina Faso has substantial, documented gold ores, but gets most of its income from foreign aid. Most of its population is engaged in agriculture, raising corn, sorghum, millet, and rice. The nation has a history of political unrest and military mutiny, however, depriving it of the benefits of rule and law and dependable government institutions.

16. Mali

GDP $2271, GNI $830

MaliMali
Village outside Mopti, Mali

The poverty of this exporter of cotton and gold is explained by the fact that money that is made in Mali doesn’t stay in Mali. And by interethnic and jihad violence complicated by a never-ending succession of coups. Even with 150,000 foreign peacekeeping troops, including 5,000 from France and 1,000 from the USA, over 2 million of Mali’s 20,000,000 people have been driven from their homes in the last two years, and over 250,000 have been killed.

JUST IN!!! ASUU To Hold Emergency Meeting by starboy247(f) : 2:02 pm On Oct 12

The National Executive Council of the Academic Staff Union of Universities will take a decision on its eight-month long strike on Thursday at an emergency meeting, even though the meeting may extend to Friday morning.

IGBERE TV gathered that branches of the Union will begin consultations Wednesday over a possibility of calling off the ongoing Strike.


The new development comes on the heels of the meeting with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, who called several meetings between the Union and the Federal Government.

Recall that the lead counsel for ASUU, Femi Falana, SAN, had also explained that the strike would be over in a few days.

ASUU had, on Monday, February 14, 2022, embarked on a strike over what the Union described as the failure of the government to meet its lingering demands.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, after what he described as “failed negotiations”, dragged the striking lecturers to the National Industrial Court.

The National Industrial Court had on September 21 ordered ASUU to call off the strike.

court

A 24-year-old businessman, Dazuli Abubakar has been remanded in a custodial centre by a Magistrates’ Court in Kafanchan, Kaduna State, for allegedly sod#mising a minor.

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) charged Abubakar with unnatural offence, contrary to the provisions of Section 259 of the Kaduna State Penal Code Law.

Magistrate Michael Bawa, adjourned the matter until Nov.1 after declining to take Abubakar’s plea for lack of jurisdiction to hear the matter.

Bawa directed the prosecutor to forward the case file to the State Director of Public Prosecution for legal advice.

Earlier, the NSCDC Counsel, Mr Marcus Audu told the court that the mother of the boy reported the matter at the corps’ office in Kafanchan on Sept.29.

Audu said Abubakar lured the complainant’s seven-year-old son with N200 and sod#mised him.

Abubakar reportedly threatened to kill the boy if he revealed what happened to anyone.

He said the victim was taken to the Salama Sexual Assault Referral Centre, Kafanchan and was referred to the NSCDC for investigation.
