@sundaymosi@ManUnitedZone You said it all Mate , Gracias ๐. We don't have anything yet but the truth can never be a lie and it's crystal clear. That's the level of our corporate governance
@ManUtd Intensity and mental readiness is what we need on that pitch. Sir carrick should also be full of actions on the touch line . Would go a long way right now . Appreciated
@ManUtd I believe these players are not happy with something, probably the board, and they are trying to sack their prince Michael kinda ...My thought though ๐ฅฑ
@ManUtd It is understandable that the board can't sack their protector and puppy rn . At least , Can we improve on training and match intensity pls ? Abeg
@SandraMariaik1 Hi ,I am an Internal control and compliance professional. You mean call overs of reports . I am interested if you would like to work with me and could share my linked in Profile for reviews before we proceed . Thanks
Africa knows what it produces. But do we know what it keeps?
My grandmother never considered a harvest successful simply because the farm produced many baskets.
She would ask something more practical:
What came home?
What was sold? What was saved? Who benefited? And after all that work, what actually became better in the household?
I increasingly think Africa needs to ask the same question about its natural resources.
We have extensive statistics on tonnes of minerals extracted, barrels exported, hectares cultivated, commodity prices and export earnings.
But there is another measurement that deserves far greater research attention:
Of every $100 of final value generated from an African natural resource, how much remains within African economies, where does it go, and what does it build?
That is not simply a value-addition question.
It is a value-retention and circulation question.
Does that $100 become local wages? African enterprises? Research capability? Processing capacity? Technology? Tax revenues? Infrastructure? Skills? Community assets?
And how much leaves before those multiplier effects occur?
This distinction matters because extraction, export earnings and GDP can tell us that economic activity occurred. They do not automatically tell us how widely prosperity circulated.
That creates, in my view, an important research-to-policy frontier.
Africa needs evidence that follows natural-resource value from extraction to final value creation, identifying who captures value at each gate and what retained value demonstrably builds.
My grandmother would have expressed the entire research problem in one sentence:
โDo not only tell me how much left the farm. Show me what the harvest changed at home.โ
That is the question.
And perhaps it is time we built the evidence to answer it.
