		<description><![CDATA[Today Africa is importing culture via all the screens that are available in your house. Your mobile phone, your laptop and your television. This creates a huge mine field for advertising executives. Beiersdorf AG the company that brings you Nivea deliberately inserts black models in its advertisements shown on Kenyan TV.

It is from this income that a business man acquires things-property. In undercapitalized economies such as Kenya, the lack of capital is a symptom.

		<description><![CDATA[Property rights in Africa are a figment of ones imagination. Africa's property rights allocation systems consist of family based inheritance protocols,political crony-reward schemes and capitalist market-based schemes. Capitalism is a recent phenomenon in Africa. This is the single most biggest challenge in the success of any enterprise on the continent. It will continue to be so for the next decade at least.

		<description><![CDATA[Vybz Kartel is a Jamaican Entertainer who is now a wanted felon having escaped Jail in what can only be described as a scene from prison break. Lil Wayne is an American rapper from the Yong Money stable who is arguably the most successful HipHop artist since Jay-z. The culture that these two artist advocate, represent and embody is now! The urban youths in low income Nairobi identify with Vybz Kartel and the dance hall artists due to the similar ghetto like neighborhoods that these artists hail from. Well educated middle income Nairobi youths identify with Lil Wayne and their rebellious and felony inclined selves is well known in corporate circles in Kenya. Kenya's urban youth are stirring and growing in numbers. Contraception will not stall the growth rate, the numbers are growing and politically explosive. I wonder where our Tahrir Square will be? <a href="http://muchirionmoney.wordpress.com/2011/12/03/the-i-want-it-now-generation-vybz-kartel-young-money-kenyas-2017-election-and-the-arab-spring/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=muchirionmoney.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11663895&amp;post=637&amp;subd=muchirionmoney&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

The infamous Module II programmes in public universities country-wide have led to an increase in graduates in every graduation ceremony.

The main challenge is the under investment in job creating industries of which Agriculture is one. This mass market of youths all aged 25-39 will have democracy on their shopping cart come 2017 and 2022. I fear for the incumbents at the time. You dont want to be president in 2012.
