(America): When Slots For Illegals Are Eliminated, America Will Have More Slots For the World's Best, Brightest, and Exceptionally Talented To Immigrate and Renew America.

How should America treat it's illegal immigrants? The Biden pick for Health and Human Services nominee wants illegals to be given Medicaid.

And this is what we think is wrong with American immigration, and one that should be overhauled. Australia for instance, processes Illegals, assylum seekers and refugees in the far off island of Papua New Guinea.

In America meanwhile, illegals are being processed at the border patrol, and it gets even worse, in the Biden administration, assylum seekers will be allowed to travel to the United States as they await the results of their assylum application.

This Biden administration move in championing for illegals, assylum seekers, and refugees has made immigrant caravans all the way from Africa, Honduras, and Haiti begin to travel by foot to the United States border.

When there are so many illegals in America, the burden will be on the American taxpayer to provide them with food stamps and unemployment benefits. Besides, illegal immigrants decrease the slots for the legal immigrants that the United States truly needs. It's why we think that immigration should be overhauled, to increase slots for the best and brightest, and those with exceptional talents that will prepare America for the next phase of growth in the industrial internet of things (IIoT), smart hardware, Fintech, carbon materials, and such fancied fields, which America is struggling to hold on to the global lead.

China and India alone produce two Thirds of the world's PhDs, China has two million engineers. That's what's at stake for America. When the illegals are eliminated, the slots for H1-B Visas, how the most talented foreign workers will be increased ten fold, of course with safeguards so that large businesses cannot use the H1-B Visa as an excuse for paying poor American workers low salaries.

To be black and be a capitalist, and a Republican, is not an anomaly. An incompatibility sort of.

We wish golfing legend Tiger Woods quick recovery in the Los Angeles accident. But here is our proposition regarding the incident.

The next chapter in the American Civil rights movement is the availing of business capital and entrepreneurship to blacks and Latinos. African Americans don't have have to make wealth in their " traditional strong fields" like sports and entertainment".

They can make wealth solving the toughest challenges that plague America and the world. They can wildly be successful creative genius entrepreneurs. The job of diversity and inclusion is supposed to make blacks be included in the former white spaces in powerful jobs, but blacks shouldn't be a tick in the box. An affirmative action hire or elite college admittee. A racial justice issue.

Moreover, the smartest blacks now don't attend historically black Colleges like Howard or Morehouse but now attend the Ivy League and Uber Private colleges like Harvard, Duke, and Yale, then go on to work in Wall Street, representing a brain drain on the African American community when a struggling black business would have needed their talents.

And since small businesses are the primary employers, it means all this black talent that is being lost to Wall Street and Silicon Valley as a diversity and inclusion issue, an affirmative action hire is going to waste in that the kith and kin these bright black youngsters left behind have no businesses to hire them.

And I know Booker T Washington, a Republican by ideology, the first African American to visit the White House, was shamed for acting white when he said that rather than confronting white supremacists directly, blacks should aim for great careers and entrepreneurship. But nothing could be further from the truth.

And another African American leader, Marcus Garvey, said blacks fail because they don't have a capitalistic system that support them. He was wealth shamed for having a publishing company, media house, real estate and a ship which he hoped would transport all black people back to Africa.

But essentially, to be black and to be capitalist shouldn't be an opposite dichotomy. Likewise, to be black and be Republican should also likewise not be an incompatibility. Because where has the freebies of the Democrats taken blacks? They are at the exact same place where the slave emancipation proclamation left them. Someone said the biggest threat of a black is a white liberal, because they act so sweet without really meaning it, and it couldn't be further from the truth.

Social Byte: Is Colorism deep among people of colour?

The simple definition of colorism is that it's where members with a lighter skin among people of color are treated better than their darker skin colleagues of the same race.

Although it's most prevalent in the black race, it's not confined to it alone. An advert in a French billboard paints a successful French parent as one where a successful black male is married to a biracial or light skinned black.

In India, you wouldn't know that half their population is darker skinned from watching Indian Bollywood movies as all the acting gigs go to the light skinned Indians and not the untouchable dark skinned dalites.

This has of course spawned a lucrative bleaching creams as blacks, especially females want to be light skinned and upgrade their social status.

Does Writing Really Pay That Much. Can it Be a Full Time Career, Especially in Africa.

The joke is that one of the ways for you to die a poor man or woman for that matter is to take up writing as a full time career. As a weekly columnist for the Star Newspaper in Kenya, the third in the market daily, I got paid $30 per weekly column of 350 words. Granted, one could say that pay is too much for just 350 words. But it is the quality that matters, not the word count. And I knew I had worked on my craft well, and so I felt shortchanged.

Again, I wrote a 12 page educational advertorial pull out for the same Star Newspaper Kenya, I got paid $100, even as they made $50,000 from the same pull out in advertisements.

Coincidentally, one of their former radio girls come come Group Marketing Manager responsible for those advertisements in my pull out is also dabbles up as a motivational speaker and goes around telling young impressionable girls that you have the same 24 hours as me, or as Bill Gates. So, why doesn't she start with paying people their fair dues first?

I had done much research and knew that as a weekly Columnist for the Telegraph, Boris Johnson, the current Prime Minister of Britain, was getting $250,000 a year pay, that is $5,000 a week, just for scribbling a few quality words a week.

I also knew of a weekly technology columnist in The Wall Street Journal that got paid a million dollars a year for a weekly column, that is $20,000. I'm interested in that especially because I did Mechanical Engineering for my Bachelors Degree.

So, why doesn't writing pay in Africa. The reason is simply we haven't professionalised the creative scene, that is writers, singers, actors, et al. It is still a buyers market. They set the price. We follow along. And that needs to change if our kind is going to take up writing as a full time career rather than a side hustle.

What is the fee structure for private universities?

Private Universities differ in their fee structure, and also, depending on the course that one wants to study. However, as a general rule, the tuition fee is usually between Kshs.40,000 all the way up to Kshs.400,000 per academic year. Please check the individual university for the fee structure.

What is the main difference between private universities and public universities?

In private universities, the fee structure is uniform, and there are no regular or parallel students. This means that one will attend the same classes, and even do the same exams. Until recently, in public universities, regular and parallel degree students would sit in different classes and even sometimes do different exams. Also, in most private universities, accommodation for students is uniform. Due to their very nature, more affluent students tend to attend private universities and therefore, there communication skills may be top

Can I study for a bridging course in university?

Yes, you can study for a bridging course, and then enroll for a degree course. This is especially if you have scored less than a C or a C+ in a particular subject which is considered important to the study of the said course. This will then allow you to enroll even in courses such as medicine or engineering.

Can I transfer and be a regular student after I have enrolled as a parallel student?

You can transfer from being a regular student to a parallel student, but not the other way round. If you want to become a regular student, you must have been selected by the central universities and colleges placement body.

What is the fee structure for parallel degree programs at JKUAT University?

The fee structure for parallel degree courses defer depending on the course, and the university which you will be attending. For instance, courses in medicine and related disciplines could be as high as Kshs.650,000 per academic year. Courses in engineering could cost about Kshs.250,000 to Kshs.300,000 per academic year, while courses in the sciences could cost Kshs.150,000 to Kshs.200,000 per academic year. The courses in the Arts disciplines may cost from Kshs.80,000 to Kshs.140,000 per academic year. For more information, you can check out the JKUAT website, and look out for press advertisements.

What is the fee structure for parallel degree courses at Moi University?

The fee structure for parallel degree courses defer depending on the course, and the university which you will be attending. For instance, courses in medicine and related disciplines could be as high as Kshs.650,000 per academic year. Courses in engineering could cost about Kshs.250,000 to Kshs.300,000 per academic year, while courses in the sciences could cost Kshs.150,000 to Kshs.200,000 per academic year. The courses in the Arts disciplines may cost from Kshs.80,000 to Kshs.140,000 per academic year. For more information, you can look up to the Moi University website, and for press advertisements.

What is the fee structure for parallel students at Kenyatta University?

What is the fee structure at the University of Nairobi for Parallel students?

The fee structure for parallel degree courses at the University of Nairobi defers depending on the course which you will be enrolled for. For instance, courses in medicine and related disciplines could be as high as Kshs.650,000 per academic year. Courses in engineering could cost about Kshs.250,000 to Kshs.300,000 per academic year, while courses in the sciences could cost Kshs.150,000 to Kshs.200,000 per academic year. The courses in the Arts disciplines may cost from Kshs.80,000 to Kshs.140,000 per academic year. More information can be obtained from the university of Nairobi website and from press advertisements.

What is the fee structure for parallel degree courses in Kenya?

The fee structure for parallel degree courses in Kenya defers depending on the course, and the university which you will be attending. For instance, courses in medicine and related disciplines could be as high as Kshs.650,000 per academic year. Courses in engineering could cost about Kshs.250,000 to Kshs.300,000 per academic year, while courses in the sciences could cost Kshs.150,000 to Kshs.200,000 per academic year. The courses in the Arts disciplines may cost from Kshs.80,000 to Kshs.140,000 per academic year.

Which is better? Studying medicine in Kenya or abroad?

Studying medicine in Kenya has its advantages. For instance, you will be trained on diseases that encumber this country and continent, and so, when you go to practice, you will be acquainted with the medical situation in the country. In the developed countries, though you will be exposed to highly advanced facilities, the training may not necessarily provide you with the requisite techniques to work in poor and marginalized areas

Is engineering tough if you didn't pass Maths?

Engineering is heavily quantitative, and you would do well if you are good in Math and Physics. Almost all problems boil down to Math or Physics, and if one is not good in either or both of these subjects, then they will find the course very tough indeed.

Bteween Arts and Sciences- Which is more marketable?

It depends on where your strengths are. I would advise that you choose whether to pursue a course depending on which areas you are good at. In this way, you will do well and in the process, get good grades and be attractive to employers. While many people think that Arts courses are flooded, this is not necessarily the case, as you can see in newspaper job advertisements, most jobs are advertised by NGOs which require

Which is the best university for engineering courses?

The quality of engineering courses in Kenyan universities is nearly the same. What you have to ensure is that the relevant engineering course is registered by the engineering registration board, so that you don't run into problems when you'll be looking for work in future. Also, just to note, ensure that the university you attend has the requisite facilities so that you can train adequately as an engineer.

What is the most marketable course in Kenya?

There are many marketable courses in Kenya, and it will depend on how well you pass your course. So, the trick is to pass well in whatever course you have been admitted to, since for the first job at least, many employers want to see that you have good grades, since it signifies both brilliance, and hard work. That said however, a course like medicine still continues to be marketable regardless of the grades of a student.

What is the pass mark for each course in university?

The pass mark for each course is 40 percent. However, some universities use the grade point average- GPA- especially, the private universities. Some courses are however, pass or fail. The pass mark for medical courses is usually 50 percent. In most courses, a grade above 70 percent is an A, between 60 and 69 is a B, between 50 and 59 is a C, and between 40 and 49 is a D.

Are Parallel students treated better than regular students?

Initially, there were complains that parallel students were being treated better, but this has subsided, as students are now treated the same. In most cases, they sit the same exams, and are enrolled in the same courses, taught by the same lecturers. These days, most universities have merged both the regular and the parallel students. Public universities are obviously making strong efforts to attract the best and brightest

Fees structure for Universities

The fees structure for universities vary depending on the course you are doing. However, generally, they are as follows:

Regular Students- Kshs.40,000- Kshs.60,000 per academic year. However, if recommendations by parliament are to be adopted, then the fees for regular studnets will be charged as per the unit cost of the course, which means that medical, science, and engineering students will have to pay more.

Parallel Students' fees depends on the course:

Arts and Science students pay on average Kshs. 80,000 to Kshs.120,000 per academic year. The fees for IT and engineering courses could be as high as Kshs250,000 per academic year. The fees for

RE: Invest in a fast growing Eastern Africa Company

The 4 year old East African Nairobi based company offers sector disruptive products & services, high returns on investment, huge social impact, substantial customer value, significant amount of traction in our given market segment and a solid talented team. In four years of operation, annual sales have increased to well over $ 700,000.

Please review our offer and feel free to ask for any additional information or explanations. We can also arrange for a face to face or Skype meeting to discuss this investment opportunity in person.

We are targeting high net worth Individuals, Investment firms, Pension funds, Charity organizations, NGOs, Pension funds, both foreign and local in this offer.

Interested in this once in a lifetime opportunity, email us on kenyafund@gmail.com

Why invest in East Africa, the hottest frontier
Fifteen good reasons why you should choose East Africa as your investment destination:

• Market access to more than 150 million people
• Combined GDP size of about US$ 110 billion
• The world's fastest reforming region in terms of business regulation
• Simplified investment procedures and one stop center facility provided by national investment promotion agencies
• Generous incentives offered
• Vibrant and upcoming capital and securities market
• High level of intra-regional trade and cross-border investments
• Numerous investment opportunities traversing all sectors
• Abundant labour force – educated, trained, mobile, skilled and enterprising
• English is widely spoken; it is one of or the only official language in at least four of the five Partner States
• Insurance against non-commercial risk by Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) and Africa Trade Insurance Agency (ATIA)
• Sanctity of private property guaranteed by national constitutions
• Stable political environment and high level of governance and democracy
• Consumer loyalty
• A warm and hospitable people

The East African Community (EAC) is Africa's fastest growing trading bloc and the investment opportunities that exist across its five member states - Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda - are proving increasingly attractive to both the Diaspora and institutional investors alike.

African economies easily rank among the most resilient in the world. In the middle of the 2009 global economic recession, Africa was the only region apart from Asia that grew positively, at about 2%. The continent's growth has been on an upward trajectory ever since then- 4.5% in 2010 and 5.0% in 2011.

Africa is becoming an increasingly attractive hub for foreign investors in light of various economic, political and social reforms that are sweeping through the continent, resulting in a much improved business environment conducive for foreign direct investment.

Apart from that, there is widespread development of critical social and physical infrastructure, and there is an increasing pool of well-educated, English-speaking, enterprising workers in most countries across the continent.

There is also a significant boost in the spending power of Africans. According to the African Development Bank, Africa's fast-emerging middle class is now comprised of over 300 million people, and analysts from the McKinsey Global Institute estimated that general consumer spending across the continent will hover past the $1 trillion by 2013.

If you're a foreign investor who has yet to make a foray into Africa, now is the time to step in and capture a share of Africa's over $1 trillion opportunity in 2014.

Note: The company opts to remain unnamed in this email message. However, the identity and more information pertaining to the company can be revealed upon a written request. We assure all interested parties that the information shared between us will be treated with utmost confidentiality.
This private placement transaction is being conducted with the oversight, guidance and advice of a leading financial advisory firm, a certified accountants and auditors and a well-known legal advisory firm.
The ownership of the 25% stake will be split dictated by the amounts raised by investors.

I look forward to a mutually profitable relationship with you.
This is a rare opportunity to invest in growth and earn handsome returns.

Sincerely,
Chief executive Officer
Nairobi, Kenya

7 Awarded Scholarships by Japanese Government

Posted on September 1, 2014 by Corporate Communications Office

Prof. Mabel Imbuga congratulates Fiona Wacera who is off to study Environmental and Life Science at Okayama University as Prof. Tsunoda (left) and Prof. Kahangi look on

Seven staff and graduate students from JKUAT are among 55 Kenyans awarded scholarships by the Government of Japan to study various graduate courses in Japan.

The seven who will form the first batch of students in an initiative expected to award 1000 scholarships to students from all over Africa under the African Business Education Initiative for the Youth (ABE – Initiative) were recently awarded their scholarships at a ceremony held at the University’s main campus.
