Marriage or Divorce - Economics and Prostitution?

There has been a constant debate on the linkage between economic situation and prostitution where women defend their practice of prostitution using the economic situation in a country, a close examination of Sunday News stories can reveal.

For instance the current Sunday News carries a story whereby it is said that university students are said to be resorting to prostitution as a result of the unstable economy of Zimbabwe.

A close and rather more realistic approach to concepts will show that for someone to be promiscuous or not depends on her moral values and not the economy of the country; meaning even if the economy is stable if someone wants to be a prostitute they can still be.

"Prostitution is just a personal sexual obsession which has nothing to do with economy whatsoever," commented a youth called Nkazimulo Moyo during a hot debate about this.

Brought to the attention of many people, the issue is a cause of concern as it compromises on the marriage institution and sex as a practice to show love for two married couples.

Economics and Nature - An Everlasting Marriage

This photo, taken by Bakidzanani Dube in 2011(July) shows the Victoria Falls which is undoubtedly the "halo" of the Zimbabwean beauty...

Nature and economics are two concepts that are closely linked to one another in that nature provides the resources from which the economy can prosper,a closer analysis can reveal

The Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River between Zambia and Zimbabwe provides a spectacular sight which makes Zimbabwe rank among the most beautiful countries of the world.

Close to the Victoria Falls is the Hwange National Park which is a home to a great deal of Zimbabwean wildlife and both natural gifts attract a large number of tourists who bring in foreign currency.

Meanwhile the soils of Zimbabwe are not just fertile for farming but they are also fertile in minerals like the most disputed Chiadzwa Diamonds and gold.

Given all this abundance of resources one then comes to wonder why scores of Zimbabweans continue to live the most miserable lives yet their country is "mother" to all these resources.

These are some of the questions that go a long way to reveal that management and natural resources are two closely linked concepts where a corrupt management can actually brew poverty and chaos for a nation.

Needles to say, Zimbabwe is a very rich country that should desist from any dependency syndrome and start exploiting these God given gifts so as to revive its economy.

The Truth About Zim-Ecos

The truth about Zimbabwe is that its economy has not fully recovered as most of its territories is still rocked by food shortages and poor samitation, Sunday News can reveal.

It seems the only way out of the dire situation is to make maximum use of the mining sector with regards to the seemingly large deposits of the Chiadzwa diamonds.

The international community is even admitting that the Zimbabwean effect in the world diamond market cannot just be taken for granted as commentators argue that it can actually supply twenty percent of the world's diamonds by 2020 if the resources are successfully exploited.

As revealed in the current Sunday News, it seems the economy has all its hopes in that sector of diamond mining especially as revealed by the Mbada's constant and unfailing sponsorship of Zimbabwean Soccer.

Meanwhile there are reports that female students are constantly falling easy prey for sugar dadies due to a dire economic situation but when one follows this closely he or she can come to a conclusion that these same diamond resources can be used in reviving student grants to curb the crisis.

Not only can these diamonds be exploited for grants but they can also be used to alleviate the food shortages that want to reverse or tarnish Zimbabwe's reputation

How Africa can be itself



The only way that Africa can use to free itself from economic oppression by the
west is to embark on extensive self expoloitative schemes that are meant to make
local maximum use of all the natural resources in the continent.

It has actually been observed that the constant granting of rights to foreigners to our natural resources like minerals will do nothing other than to continue encouraging the dependence syndrome which seems so prevalentin most African set-ups.

"The problem with an African is that whenever an African has been given a small portion of food relaxes and forgets about fending for himself," commented one teacher in a debate who chose to be called Miss Ncube for security reasons.

This debate comes after most people have been concerned by the fact that Africa is a home to a dozen of natural resources but is in shambles. Some critics even mention that the only way Africa can use to free itself is to have governments that are open to criticism and are accountable.

The problem can be completely solved once the people of Africa are taught how to exploit their own resources and the dependency syndrome cut as well.

Who is right - Gono, Biti, or Kasukuwere?

The Zimbabwean economic debate especially on the concept of indigenisation is slowly but surely taking an interesting turn, stories in the Sunday News can reveal.

The current Sunday Business carries a story in which Gono, Biti and Kasukuwere seem to at logger heads. All seem to be defending the indigenisation policy but from differnt angles.

While Kasukuwere wants a total indigenisation policy, Biti wants a moderate one,
both in contrast to Gono who actually seem to be wanting a laisezfaire.

All want the increase of banks and the revival of those that had closed down, a grand move which if used wisely can increase investment in Zimbabwe.

Gono wants a prosperous Zimbabwe which will emerge from relating with other countries as he allows the buying of shares from foreign investments.

Kasukuwere seem to be pursuing a policy of non foreign tolerance while Biti's stance is not very clear on this one. But what ever the case, either of the linesof operation is viable as long as it will benefit the Zimbabweans without allowing their squandering by foreigners.

The greatest question of the day however is to ascertain whether Zimbabwe is capable of prospering "alone" or not.

Meanwhile, the same paper carries a story of 93 000 people who are starving yet
on the other hand the economy is boasting of recovery.

Mbada Diamonds should be called to attend to this case instead of asking for foreign aid.

The link between Economics and Nature

There is a close linkage between nature and economics meaning to say that the
natural resources of a country have to be fully expropriated to achieve a balanced
economy.

Africa is one continent which is well provisioned with natural resources that can be exploited to achieve stable economies.

Zimbabwe for instance is one country that has a lot of resources such that it will be highly questionable why it is poor given those circumstances.

The Victoria Falls which is on the Zambezi River is Zimbabwe's pride as it generates thousands of cash every year and then one wonders why it is nonetheless poor.

This is just one of the many tourist attraction scenes that Zimbabwe has and can make maximum use of to stabilise its economy.

Economic meltdown

While the first world countries are soundly surging up in economics, Africa is slowly but surely receding. This is characterised by the rate at which prices rise in most African countries, how the rate of unemployment rise up and how businesses collapse.

Asked about how the economy of Zimbabwe affects him, Moyo who owns a motor spares company on the southern outskirts replied, "Of course this is a terrible period but I can say presently things are now better than how they were during the year 2008.

"I think those who are clever enough can now make it to the top now. I personally do not believe in people not being able but I do believe in people being lazy and hiding behind 'someone out there is mismanaging resources'"

"If people fail to buy cars this time, I bet they will never do it again," said Ronald, another youth in his first year at college.

These comments are just but part of many more that people always pass about the economic situation in Zimbabwe. The question now is what therefore is the real situation in the country: is the country stranded or what, pass a comment guys.

Is African poverty deliberate?

The concept of why Africa is poor yet it is the provisioned basket of the world will be answered after it has been debated at length by everyone.

World records can reveal that Africa has populations that are still leading one of the most proletariat lives in the world yet it has everything it needs.

The following points would help make people look at this more closely:
  • most of the world's wildlife is here in Africa but nothing comes out of that. For example, the biggest elephant in the world is the loxodonta africana, a species found here in Africa and that can generate a lot of money through selling its ivory as well as tourist attraction;
  • Zimbabwe is home to the Victoria Falls a picturesque scene in the world. So what is happening?

Economic trends

Global economics is of much concern to everyone such that even people at the back of beyond also find it very necessary to debate on such issues.

This was shown by a debate session which I decided to hold with my pupils to find out whether they really understood what economics was all about.

"I think economics is all about how people irk out a living from the natural resources of their country and each and everyone has a share in the exploitation of those resources," said a brilliant pupil (name withheld).

This would sound very mythic but it is shockingly true and it above all revealed that pupils are not ignorant of the fact that in economics each and everyone has to share equally and more over everyone has the right to be rich. such definitions would have been typical of economic gurus such as Rupert Murdock and other scholars but here they are today coming out of "mere" pupils who are not even a year old in their studies.

What was of much importance however was an issue raised by the same pupil who actually pointed out that the standard measure of being wealthy or poor is dominated by bias and I as a blogger in economics saw it necessary to push the debate further by adding flesh to it here.

America becomes a role model of how rich a person or country has to be defined and this lends the whole concept to the rise of horse-rider relationships in the world of economics.

A wasted effort

Zimababwean economy will not be improved by the removal of ZANU-PF from power. Please leave ZANU-PF alone and mind your own business guys. Yesterday there was a clamour about the removal of Mammur Gaddafi and now he has been ousted but what is happening in Libya, chaos. So now we begin to wonder as to whether the death of Gaddafi was a justified move. To this effect I predict the same situation if people still believe that the replacement of Zanu-Pf would improve anything. The best solution in this case of Zimbabwe at this moment is to unite, examine the obstacles behind the hinderance of development and then surge forward. This comes in after many of the the so called noble campaigns of democracy have deteriorated into blood bath, thus entrenching hatred even more. The best way to free the Zimbabwean's mind is to teach him or her how to fend for himself or herself than to point fingers at someone and then blacklist them because what about if nothing happens after ousting that person?

Economic debates

The Zimbabwean Economists in a few years' time would have to account for the economic situation prevailing the country currently. It would be a very shamefulgesture to locate signs of corruption should bbthat audit be conducted. in my own iargument I think each and everyone is to blame for this ecnomic recession. First, there are the westerners who started the notion of colonisation which did not only "impoverish" the country but also bonded the minds of the people as well. Close analysis therefore reveals that most Zimbabweans thereafter never went back to independent thinking and this explains why most of them still rely on tokens. Secondly is the government which has not fully played its role of facilitating the full exploitation of these resources. It has to be non-partisan in its approach. lastly, the people themselves also are to blame especially now that tehy want to rely on foreign aid thus failing to help themselves. Zimbabwe is teirs and thus they are incharge but they think someone else is.
