there are no simple solutions to the problems in africa. some problems with your solution are: how can people transport such large amounts of water? where will it come from? who will pay for it? will the country be expected to pay it back? etc.

For development to flourish, good government is required that supports development.  There is not a great deal of good government in Africa.  Until the governments improve there will be no development.  Granted there may be attempts at development but it will not flourish.  \n\nRegrettably, you are probably wasting your time.

I'm a real estate agent in Texas (Just a disclaimer)\n\nYou can try the US Embassy in that country - their internet site is http://usembassy.state.gov/abidjan/\n\nJust an FYI - Unless the laws have changed (and with all the turmoil over there they may have), you can own property, but only in urban areas. Rural areas are off limits. The legal system over their is.. weak, and therefore obtaining a mortgage or owning a property outright (freehold) is very difficult. For this reason most real estate transactions are leaseholds.\n\nIt's been a long time since I've sent a referral to Africa, but I might be able to dig up a good qualified professional in Abidjan to help you out. E-mail me and we can talk.

Perhaps immigration may be an interesting possibility? \n\nHave you done much travelling? Maybe you could take an extended vacation and do some sight seeing? \n\nAre you interested in opening a shop or a pub or maybe selling things online? \n\nIf you're open to a really radical change, you could consider fostering children, on a short or long term basis :) Or fostering animals! \n\nHave you got any ambitions that you might like to fulfil, such as writing a novel? \n\nGood luck to both of you, I hope you can find something to enjoy!

I would love to visit Africa someday .. it's one of the most beautiful, exotic, cultural places on the planet. \n\nAs for Nigeria, all I know about the people there is from scams that I've received in the past year. There are too many to count. I get tons of emails from people in Nigeria claiming to be professionals handling large amounts of money, that they need my help getting their hands on ... then they plan to pay me a share of the profits ... stuff like that. Thank goodness, I researched beforehand and didn't lose any money in their schemes.

please!!   no more africa bashing in this forum.  To be a politician in Africa do like everywhere else.  Get an education, be part of a political party, and run for it's leadership!  This is what J.A. Kufour did in Ghana, he's Oxford Educated in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (the hardest degree to get in in Oxford!), then he worked in various places, was part of forming the NPP party in Ghana, and linked up with the Ghanaians abroad to raise campaign financing for the 2000 elections.  He won, and he won a second term in 2004.  \n\nMany African leaders come from the military, because they are corrupt and the military is in power, and the only political party is the military!!  Like in Mauritania, Burkina-Faso, Central African Republic, Togo, Democratic Republic of Congo (a hopeful name).  \n\nDemocratic presidents rule at least in Ghana, South Africa, Nigeria, Mozambique, Angola, Tanzania, Liberia.  \n\nSome countries have contested elections, like Uganda, Ethiopia etc. and some countries have no elections at all, like in Tunisia, Gabon, Swaziland, where either one president has ruled for ever, or like in Swaziland it's a Kingdom with a very corrupt King.\n\nSo do like Kufour in Ghana, Mbeki in South Africa and start with an education and build your support in your country.  Anything else will lead you being hated by your people, and shot in the next coup d'etat against you.

First, you must acquire territory.  Since all territory on the Earth is currently affiliated with a country, you would need to either buy it or take it by force.  \n\nAlternately, you could attempt to form an artificial island in international waters (no one owns the sea out about 10 miles from land.)  This has actually been done- google "Sealand."\n\nThen you must be able to defend it.  This can be done by either forming and maintaining your own military (this is the ususal way) or by getting other countries to protect you.  Monaco and Luxembourg are both tiny countries with no real military power, but if anyone invades them NATO allies will probably stop that (because, really- why beat up on Monaco?)  Sealand, for instance, was attacked several times.\n\nYou will also need some citizens and a form of government (republicanism, communism, democracy etc.) \n\nFinally, you need a sustainable economy- your people have to do something to support themselves and your government.

Really, how do you come up with these questions???\n\nFirst, you need to name your berg and register her under a flag of convenience. In this case, it would probably be easiest to create your own country...call it Dramporia, for example, and all sorts of odd vessels would come to you to be registered. Then mount some navigation lights on the berg, add the cargo (like beer: think how cold it will keep!) and away you go.\n\nWait, how do you steer it? Do send us all some postcards from wherever you end up!

I think your first step would be to volunteer at one first. Once you get the hang of it you'll have MANY connections to start your own.
