I am one person who never believe in politics, while alot of people sees it as the only platform to adress socio-economic disadavantges, I see it as the only benchmark that derail the proper and effective process of adressing the same. often time, I have forwarded the aguemement that However much we feel that empowering some of our most disadvantage members of our beloved society thruogh politic and political post it does and to this end had been the derailing factor in achieving the most and best of us. Take for example the MDG which coutry are all pursuing to achieve, while the goals remain the best option to alliviate poverty, the poltics on each state has been hindrence to achieving that goal.

As I am now convince that politics are transitional and building upon them as foundation to achieve total freedom and equity is mare wastege of time. Every year politician run after the cooparate to fund there compaign and if only the capacity of coporate men and women can be enhance to outline growth agenda and equity withiout selfish motivation, then I still believe that the MDG will be achieved.

Well Amira,
It is interesting you recorginse my despise to politics, I think you will agree with me that any other person who is always upright and champion the people or the community interest wil alway feel that right way to do it through politics. I once had inspiration that the only way to elevate poverty in my community is through politics, well atleast that is the easiest way until some one you very much believe can do that turn to be just like them (polician). People will be elected in the platform of change but once they are there they turn to be like the old one and soon we realised that there is no difference.

I have known many politician friends and some of them people am very close with, and whenever i look back they have no difference with the people they were turning us aginst.
I believe that empowering people and collective leadership is the way forward to ensure that our community prospor, I believe that if we train them, give them the best of training either through capacity building to a curtain aim wich is sustainable to general population benefit then things might change. I have always say that there is no any better tool of trade like giving people knowledge to take care of their own destiny.
They say in my language that you should not give people fish but teach them how to catch one. that way you help them.

Our politic all over the world is design in such way that it ensure we are given fish all through so that we can go back and beg for more fish, no one want to teach us how to go fishing and that is how politic is.
I believe or want to believe you got expaertise in your area of interest that is what you can used to help others not making noice and spreading lies, our politicia used that they nickname it properganda and believe me they used it.

I thank you very much for your contribution and i hope we can explore more of this.
thank you!
