Only In Africa; Part #3

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
