Quiana M Shamsid-Deen: Where are the materials from?

Quiana M Shamsid-Deen I came across Quiana M Shamsid-Deen comment on social media this morning, definitely worth sharing.  Something interesting and should be open for discussion.  "My only concern is a few African designers are getting their fabrics/cloth/materials from China. (Though many African countries also get their materials from China. Higher end from Holland) We are wearing and creating African inspired garments, but African countries and the people are not benefitting from it. Which is why I make sure to ask, "where are the materials from?" Just to begin that dialogue to encourage us to work with the continent and build our communities together. Bridging the gap."Quiana What do you think?

President Buhari’s Democracy day speech

President Buhari's My compatriots, it is one year today since our administration came into office. It has been a year of triumph, consolidation, pains and achievements. By age, instinct and experience, my preference is to look forward, to prepare for the challenges that lie ahead and rededicate the administration to the task of fixing Nigeria. But I believe we can also learn from the obstacles we have overcome and the progress we made thus far, to help strengthen the plans that we have in place to put nigeria back on the path of progress. We affirm our belief in democracy as the form of government that best assures the active participation and actual benefit of the people. Despite the many years of hardship and disappointment the people of this nation have proved inherently good, industrious tolerant, patient and generous.   The past years have witnessed huge flows of oil revenues. From 2010 average oil prices were $100 per barrel. But economic and security
