A quick note to my Malawian online kindred-spirit, Nelson Moyo

Yes, Nelson, the cost-of-living crisis, is a continent-wide issue, ooooo, ma danfu papaaabi. And it requires the creativity of truly-exceptional original-thinkers, really - if we are to overcome that existential-challenge: now facing all democracies across Africa.

Take the issue of bailouts that have disappeared into the financial equivalent of blackholes - the very deep pockets of Africa's domineering and super-ruthless big-thieves-in-high-places. Yet, the solution to such grand-larceny, isn't rocket science, ooooo, Yewura Nelson.

Although one has virtually no formal education, and is therefore an unredeemable-ignoramus, alas, one has often wondered why members of Africa's ruling-elites, don't ever think of stepping out of the shadow of conventional economic thinking.

The question to ponder over is: Why do those hard-of-hearing geniuses, not see Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDGs), for what they truly are: the pandemic-era's best and most effective financial instrument, for the direct-empowerment of the continent's vulnerable base-of-the-pyramid demographics? Hmmmm, ey3nsem piiiiii, oooo, Nelson.

Believe you me, dear kindred-spirit, we would definitely see an exponential increase, in the abilities of all Africa's vulnerable groups, and individuals, to swiftly bootstrap their own way, creatively, and successfully, out of the brutish-hellish-trap, of extreme poverty. Simple.

Would that, dear online friend of longstanding, not make for a happy continent, and, above all, finally gain the respect of even the most ignorant, hardened, and racist-narrow-minded, non-Black populations, worldwide, anaaa, I ask? Haaba. Elite-creative-thinking is what will make the real difference for Mother Africa, ooooo, Yewura Nelson. Absolutely. No question. Case closed. Cool.
