Only In Africa; Part #3

October 14th, 2009 | Only-In-Africa

And now, on a more serious note…

Where a man can rule a “democratic” country from before his son’s birth until the son is old enough to take over from his dad.
Where a watch is worn as a decorative status symbol while time is seen as an European invention that is still used as a form of slavery.
Where crime actually pays better than any other respectable job
Where it is safer to ask directions from a dodgy figure in a back street alley than from anyone in a police uniform
Where the election results are known before the Election Day
Where flexi-time means coming to work later in the morning and leaving earlier in the afternoon
Where bribery and corruption is more transparent than the national elections
Where it is safer to travel by car (or bicycle) than by plane
Where the whole population agrees that the current government is corrupt, but still votes for that same government at the next elections
Where the offense of racism can be viewed as a more serious crime than murder
Where the local government can trace back any problem in its own country to any another country in the world
Where children can learn to use an AK-47 before they learn how to use a fork and knife
Where the poorest country has the richest president
Where you are considered to be cool when wearing your sunglasses after sunset
Where you have more chance of picking up a deadly disease in a hospital than by having unprotected sex
Where candles replaced electric lights
