Professionally, ive been in brand management for the last 10 years, all of them with consumer product companies...you know soaps, toothpaste and stuff. My work takes me around a bit and then there was my first visit to Africa - Nigeria and Kenya.
The stark differences in society there astonished me. Ya...iam from India and i know what poverty and underdeveloped means! But at one end you see newspaper advertising for Mercedes Limos ( you dont see that even in Fancy Dubai) and at the other end the common man struggling to keep alive( this picture shot near our nigeria office - its a brown freight container- its a family's home...the inhabitant enjoying his morning by the window ! At least he's go a rock solid home. )
Obviously crime rates are no surprise. And how! Take a look at this picture of a signpost in Kenya to know what im talking about.
Somebody get those politicians outa there!
